Dwapara Yuga: Kepler Mission

Is Earth unique? If not, how many Earth-size planets might there be in our galaxy, orbiting their parent stars at just the right distances to have liquid water on their surfaces? What are the distributions in planet size, in planet orbits and the types of stars hosting planets?

These are the key questions that NASA’s recently launched Kepler Mission team seeks to answer. This has the makings of a great Dwapara Yuga experiment - expansively looking for truth rather than narrowly concentrating on dogmatic interpretations of ancient texts in the manner of the Taliban or Christian Fundamentalists, the kind of mindsets that build the Sabbath elevator.
