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.

"Potentially"

Well there are billions of galaxies so there's even more planets

I guarantee there's some life out there or each Galaxy has something unique about it and life is what's unique about ours

2 RepliesAlso if may add a question I ponder is 'if' humanity makes it that far and we one day get to one of these planets and decide to colonise it do we have the right to do so? Look at it this way any planet that is suitable for colonisation would need a form of life that creates oxygen perhaps an alien type of fauna or alien micro organisms akin to algae. Now say we decide to colonise the planet we have essentially destroyed the planets chance at creating its own life giving birth to its own evolutionary ladder. Even if it's microbial or even primitive life do we have the right to take away that life's potential for evolving on its own without interference perhaps one day into not only sentiment but possibly intelligent life. Think of it as along the lines of Europeans moving into the Americas once we affected the natives way of life it was forever altered in some cases completely wiped out now imagine that on another world. Even if the 'life we find there is primitive or microbial a single human cell could be enough to contaminate the process forever altering what would ultimately evolve on that world.

3 RepliesEdited by lMGPl_Mister_K: 5/28/2015 12:39:38 AMWe've known this for a while, it's old news...., it's moronic to think that there are over 100 billion galaxies, each containing about a trillion stars, and those stars all have a chance to harbor planets, and you think that not one of them has conditions ideal for life, life as we see it on earth is not the only type of life tht is possible, I'm sure there are beings out there that the human couldn't hope to possibly comprehend in any way, people that life has to be similar to us in order to exist, this closed mind set is usually what leads to the simple answer of we are alone, perhaps the first beings we come into contact with may not even see things the same way as us or even live in the same dimension, it's not impossible to Think that in the lifetime of the universe, a species evolved to exist perhaps in the time dimension and are able to travel through time the same way you travel around in the 3 spacial dimensions you exist in

I bet that the destiny as we know it is gonna happen in real life in about 3,000 years and we will find a rece called the awoken in about 2,000 years.

1 ReplyThose are juat the ones capable of life as WE know it. There could be life anywhere [spoiler]whoa[/spoiler]

See I find it interesting that so many dismiss the potential of life in our galaxy let alone the universe. Even if there where 50 billion potentially inhabitable planets the distances between many means that until enough time has passed for any species to become extremely advanced we'd never find them. Many argue about radio waves why aren't we detecting any? Well there are 2 reasons 1) any species advanced enough to leave their home planet and wander the galaxy wouldn't use a method that's so slow while radio waves travel at near light speed that's pretty much useless to speak to your home planet or even send out a burst to show 'we are here' the signal just takes to long to travel from point A to point B. 2) radio waves despite continuing on for a good distance the actually fade out at around 1AU's distance that and they are distorted by solid objects or clusters of smaller ones. Also we always assume that evolutions end game is for the creation of 'intelligent' life there's no basis for this in the entirety of earths history there's only one species in hundreds of millions of years that evolved from a suitable species to allow it to manipulate the environment (us just incase anyone wondered...) so out of all that time and all the other species that have had far longer to evolve and become dominate yet we are the only ones to do so shows that evolution and perhaps life itself cares very little for intelligent life. The most adaptable life form is the one that survives and thrives after all.

16 RepliesEdited by Agwara: 5/28/2015 5:32:28 AMI like to think that we (Humans) eventually become so powerful as an empire they we expand the entire observable universe, and [i]we[/i] (Humans), create the aliens and sprout all life in the universe. Thoughts?
