Also these planets cannot be too large, or gravity will become a problem.
How close to ours is any such planet?
How can we determine if such a planet has life at the distance that we are from them?

Yep thats what Dawkins said when he realised the possable implications of his slip in what was a friendly enviroment, i think he wouldn,t have let that slip in a more hostile debating enviroment. and as I said is surprisingly similar to the Theist arguement of how can you ever find God when He exists Transcendental to the Universe.
