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.

Ah potential. That word used by kindergarten teachers and parents to tell their children they're failures without really saying it.

Why do we have to turn this wonderful discovery into a argument? Can't we all just appreciate the cool/scariness of this?

The bible never says anything about any aliens so that's ya not true.

Edited by Sandtrap: 6/1/2015 1:19:10 AMI'd refute you on the snowflakes part. How rather standard and characteristic to place life into a box and proclaim it has less meaning and value just because of a sum of numbers. Much like how people would view an ant colony. Their numbers so vast, that step on one? No. It won't make an impact. Surely not.

The world is flat and God lives in the clouds.

Wait what was that one planet, Kepler-3 something?

I hope in our lifetime, old or not, we'll be able to see the landing of one these planets, and the hope humanity will bring on the first steps of the surface:
-
One of them.. Is your MOM
-
Pics or it didnt happen
-
Yet none of them have intelligent life...guarantee it
-
Hell that's just the ones that could support us maybe aliens require drastically different conditions.

One for each person.

I heard they recently proved warp travel was possible
-
Damn we could each have our own planet
-
Cool.

Lies.
