For the record, my answers are:
Probably, in some form, somewhere in the cosmos, since it’d be weird if Earth were THAT special. They probably haven’t visited though.
Yes, we can see it pretty directly! (More on this in next.)
There are surely some limits to our knowledge but we do know a lot.

yes darth but it is not the #1 question. the top three questions are:
are aliens real
did the big bang really happen
isn’t that stuff all just unknowable

My mother’s voice,
a distant summons.
Blades of light
piercing the dark.
White coats,
deep pain.
Circles on water,
the same yet different.
Shiver on the skin.
Atoms of life
crystallized
in memory.
— For my mother
