"behind everyone alive today stand 30 ghosts. that is the ratio at which the dead outnumber the living. since the dawn of time about 100 billion human beings have walked on this planet. now 100 billion is about the number of stars in our milky way galaxy. so this means that for everyone who's ever lived, there could be a star, with more stars and suns and planets circling around them. so isn't it an interesting thought that there's enough land in the sky for everyone to have a whole world? we don't know how many of those worlds is inhabited and by what kind of creatures. but one day we shall know. perhaps by radio, perhaps by other means, perhaps by direct contact."
