I put 40 Billion marbles in the Colosseum to find alien life

A new video by «Epic Spaceman», and it’s just as mind-blowing as previous ones, with his unique blend of storytelling and animation technique. This is about the unimaginably large number of planets (and moons!) out there that could have alien life – and the disappointingly simple reason why we haven’t found anyone out there yet.
