Another Astrum, another banger.
What to you think? Could we find another Earth-like planet within our lifetime? Or any life later at all? Maybe with in a far-off exoplanet or even within the Sol System (out solar system)? Well, we can only hope. I certainly have a feeling that we may.
The question “could it be Earth 2.0” still doesn’t matter.
We’ll never have a way of getting there, unless we discover a fundamental misunderstanding about how the universe works.
Is it fascinating info that leads to a better understanding of nature and the universe? Yes. But that’s irrelevant to the question posed. Had that been the focus, rather than a click-bait nonsensical title, it wouldn’t receive the criticism it deserves.
“Earth 2” is just a way to say “a planet comparable to Earth”, and subsequently “could it harbor life?”, it is absolutely part of the inquiry. Do you read “earth 2” as “the planet we should migrate to?” I don’t think that’s implied although i can’t speak for the author
