This from National Geographic:
A galaxy has, say, a hundred billion stars and maybe that many planets. If they’ve picked out the worlds where life has evolved or where life can exist, it’s hard to argue there couldn’t be 20 [such planets] in a galaxy of a hundred billion planets.
This is a great little read.
I agree…..with that many Planets in the Galaxy (let alone the Universe) I think life has to exist out there….but you gotta look at it 4-dimensionally….Time being the 4th dimension. We could send a radio wave out to another planet, and in theory by the time they received it and sent it back billions of years could have passed.
That’s about the only good quote in the article. Watch Discovery. They’ll be showing the Science of Star Wars through the month of June
it is logic dude. it is clear.
if world being the only planet having sentient life, it is just a probability similiar to every of us being millionares by lottery at the same time.
We all know space travel is outside our solar system is impractical without the bending of space time. Who knows if we’ll ever get that far.
the only thing that makes it impractical is no one has the desire to do it.
If we knew for certain that our planet was going to die in X amount of years, the desire would be there to travel. The fact that those starting the trip would die before getting anywhere is irrelevant.
Humans would still do it.
