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.

Just Imagine, this is how Earth will look like if we didn't pollute it.

Lol this is old news. Its funny how little people know about astronomy. Some of y'all couldn't even name all the planets in order in our solar system without looking it up. Hahahaha

Edited by d 6d7565727465: 6/3/2015 3:39:23 AMIf the universe is infinite, that should allow infinite rolls on the dice. With infinite rolls on the dice, there should be an infinite amount of alien races. With an infinite number of alien races, they must look shockingly similar to fictional races of our creation.

Edited by Gravemind94: 8/17/2015 12:23:17 AMThere's 8 billion planets capable of life in just our galaxy alone, the estimated number for planets that can support life in the [i]entire universe[/i] is 50 sextillion; 50,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Is your mind blown yet?

"No, we are the special children of Jesus Christ our lord and savior."
