It is folly to say you know what is happening to other people. Only they know, if they exist. They have their own Universes of their eyes and ears. It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds but that not every one is inhabited. Therefore there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds.
Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds.
So, if every planet in the universe has a population of zero, then the entire population of the universe must also be zero, and any people you may actually meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination. Ford, you're turning into a penguin. You'd better be prepared for the jump into hyperspace. I don't know, I didn't listen. If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.
