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.

3 RepliesSo if we go to all of them everyone could technically have there own planet

1 ReplyJust because it's potential doesn't mean it's certain if anything out of those 8 billion there probably only at least 100,000 that have life

4 RepliesLife is classified on a microscopic level throughout the Universe.

16 RepliesToo bad it will take millions of years to get there [b]if[/b] we achieve near light speed travel.

4 RepliesI hope the Unggoy are real. I've always wanted one as a pet

5 RepliesShow me one with an ozone layer, consistent temperature on isolated land masses, oxygen in the air, and water. If we are looking for other life forms, looking at just our criteria is pointless. Our planet will never be replicated. Other living organisms are going to be the last place we look.

3 RepliesI think there is other life on planets but I know for a fact Mars had life on that planet but it's obviously dead now
-
That's school

6 RepliesWho cares. We'll never get to them in time to see if any shit is actually still alive. Hell, we wouldn't even be able to get there in time to live on it, nor would we live long enough to reach the any of those planets.

Due to the law of probability.

1 ReplyEdited by ThatAmazingIdea: 4/22/2015 9:25:17 PMWhen the Big Bang happened... what existed prior to that? What made the mass so small it exploded into a 'infinite' universe? Isn't theoretically the universe still expanding? What is it expanding TO exactly? What's at the end of the universe? Honestly, I get pissed off at the idea I was born at this time. If I was born 10,000-20,000 years from now, so many more discoveries would have been made and all the cool technology we think of today as impossible would be in existence, at least some of my answers would be closer to discovery. It would be cool as hell, since we are going to be considered primitive to future humans. I'll shut up now...

1 ReplySo basically one person to rule each individual planet?

1 ReplySadly it'll take light years to get to them ;-;

Yes the reality of it is amazing. That's why the Fermi Paradox is ridiculous. Could you imagine being so egocentric as to believe there is no other intelligent life, because they haven't visited your planet? Or the whole anthropomorphising of every idea of Aliens. The only reason I hope they are very similar to us, is that we get annihilated when we gain the tech to colonise other systems within our galaxy. Get wrekt.

2 RepliesThere's all kinds of other factors that aren't included that drop down that number.

3 RepliesEdited by Britton: 4/22/2015 4:16:03 AMThis is what is in the square.

2 RepliesThe real question is... Can I bang any of the aliens on those planets?
-
27 RepliesI don't care how statistically likely it is, once we see proof I'll start believing.
-
One planet per person

Edited by joogwus: 4/22/2015 7:48:15 PM8 billion is a low number compared to all the planets in our galaxy
-
Uhh duh I played mass effect I already know this
-
7 RepliesSo I can go to a planet and say no one else is allowed because there's enough planets for all of us?
