Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesnβt provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Actually, life won't be possible anymore in some billions of years. Not enough stars anymore, too much spaces between galaxies. Too Much darkness π’
We are in the very brief bright moment of the universe.
Life as we know it, life in different forms may thrive.
They have already had billions of years. They may have already been started just very far away.
Life on earth isn't dependent on any other star, none of what you mentioned is relevant to life arising on earth.
Life did depend on other stars. At the very beginning, there were only hydrogen in space. Then 1st generation of stars built helium by fusion then explode, creating second generation of stars that create heavier elements and so one.
Life really couldn't appears in a single star universe, because there were just not enough "atomes factories".
OK, now the matter is here, other stars might not be required anymore. But stars have a very limited life time. Sun will explode in ~5 billions years, so do other stars. Other stars will born, but this is not unlimited. Once every atoms will be fusion into heavy elements, there just won't be new stars anymore and univers will enter in its dark era. This should happen in ~100 billions years. Then there will just be blackhole during 10e100 years, and then very slow decay during something like 10e(10e(10e10)) years. At least, it is one of the currently admitted theories.
Yes, my point is as long as there's new stars that's all you need, it doesn't matter if they're rare or far apart, unlike what you stated.
