That's an answer?

Wrong... science has yet to conclude whether the universe is open-ended
or closed and thus has not determined exactly how many stars and planets
there might be.

If the universe WERE infinite, however, the number of stars and planets
would still be countable, although infinite in number.  I expected a
lot more from someone who worked for Bell Labs.  So much for scientific
proof.

In other words it ISN'T an answer.
