About This Quote

This saying is a variation of a basic statement of logic: All possibilities exist, and some are real. Either we are alone in the Universe, or we aren’t. Those two statements are equivocal. They mean the same thing, but they also mean something different.

Either we are alone in the Universe, or we aren’t. In any given set of circumstances, it’s possible that one is true and the other isn’t.
