Between Final Crisis # 2 and the last episode of Doctor Who, I find myself neck-deep in Parallel Earth stories. So, imagine my astonishment when I saw an article entitled " Astronomers on Verge of Finding Earth's Twin" on Space.com.
According to the article, astronomers found 3 worlds more massive than ours but small enough to most likely be rocky. To make things more interesting, the planets are orbiting a single star. That's gotta be a pretty crowded solar system, especially of all 3 are somehow capable of supporting life.
Meanwhile, here on Earth, we're exhausting our resources at an alarming rate, overcompensating for our love of slaughter by humping the hell out of each other and cluttering the space outside our planet with garbage! Oh, and we get into petty squabbles over things that really aren't worth killing over. What if there's life on these similar Earths?
Um...why would we want to find 3 other planets like ours?
Oh well, it's really all just speculation. While not much is known about the Earths, one thing is for certain; they are not parallel worlds. If anything, they're more like siblings...triplets, actually. So, I guess we're all going to have to wait for facial hair, Billie Piper or 1940s super heroes.
