<ul><li>The hunt for habitable worlds in astronomy has traditionally focused on planets in the 'Goldilocks zone' around stars, but habitability is more complex than just temperature.</li><li>A new approach by McCullen Sandora from the Blue Marble Space Institute of Science uses Earth's location as a statistical sample to gauge the habitability of exotic worlds.</li><li>Considerations of a multiverse scenario suggest that the relative habitability of different planetary environments could vary drastically between universes.</li><li>This research challenges assumptions about water's uniqueness for life and raises questions about the potential for life in exotic environments, contributing to the ongoing debate about the existence of multiple universes.</li></ul>
