There are potentially over 8 billion planets capable of life
There is potentially over 8 [b]billion[/b] planets capable of life in [b][i]our galaxy.[/i][/b]
[quote] By extrapolating Kepler’s findings, astronomers have come up with some not-altogether-unfounded estimates for these values. For instance, they concluded that about 22% of Sun-like stars has at least one planet we class as potentially habitable. Doing the math based on the latest estimates for the total number of stars in the Milky Way, that gives us a rough figure of 8.8 billion potentially habitable planets in the Milky Way. That’s a lot of rolls of the dice, assuming you believe life has any chance at all of starting spontaneously. [/quote]
That's just our galaxy people. There's hundreds of billions of galaxies in our universe. That's a lot of potential for life. We're not special snowflakes.

Well I mean [i]i still am[/i] but the rest of you, not special snowflakes. In all seriousness though I've been saying this for years, if you think about the shear amount if planets out there, even if its a lotteries chance of life those are good odds. I'm always met with "then way haven't they visited us" smh just because there is life on other planets doesn't mean they are an advance race of super being, or even intelligent life at all. Even if there was, finding this planet would be like finding a needle in like a million haystacks, we aren't the center of the universe.

Trillions of star systems in our galaxy alone which is a small galaxy that's sets up for more than likely a googleplex amount of planets in our galaxy. trillions of galaxy systems millions of light years across (ours is only 100 thousand light years) so yeah

1 ReplyCool cool. Too bad it would take like more than a lifetime to get to some of those though.... It's a shame. It'd be kind of legit to settle a planet.

I feel like a lot of people don't know about the Rare Earth/Uniqueness Hypothesis. When I found out about it, it gave me a totally new perspective. Sure, the odds lend themselves to extraterrestrial life, but maybe we are the 1 in bazillion chance. And by no means do I consider us special. The scope of the universe regardless of whether it contains other life or not totally exceeds our comprehension and understanding. At the same time, there may be some species out there that has known of our existence for thousands of years but couldn't give less of a damn. We can't act all special that we actually found something besides ourselves when something else might have beaten us to it.

Its crazy to think that since day 1 on the planet there was recources to make something from todays time. So right at this moment we can build something can travel as fast as light. We just havent understood how it works

6 Replieshow awesome would it be if we found out we're not even the smartest beings on our own planet? a species that doesn't even bother talking to us because it considers us too stupid and not worth the effort.

9 RepliesSadly, even if we put a newborn baby on a spaceship and sent it at the maximum speed our technology allows towards any of these planets, it would die before it even got a fraction of the way to the closest one. I believe the closest habitable planet is 12 light years away, and 100 km/s is probably the fastest we could currently travel, so it would take 36,000 years to get there. Even if there was life on the closest habitable planet, it wouldn't really matter until we can invent technology to travel at the speed of light. At that point we could begin to contact that life If it's intelligent.

Edited by Doodling Hitman: 10/17/2015 6:15:09 PMI wonder if there is a planet similar like ours where people speculate about other planets on something like the internet. What if they're saying the exact same thing now and people are discussing about it in a thread like we do?

14 RepliesEdited by foxhound: 5/27/2015 11:42:31 AMThe way you speak and write how you think you speak is so bad and seems so condescending that anything you say is invalidated by the huge "I'm an asshole" vibe you give off. Every snowflake is special idiot there aren't two that are the same so why the -blam!- would that even be a good descriptor unless we're special. Stop wishing for aliens everyday you're basement still won't smell any better. Rare Earth theory btch.
