Out of what, 500-1000 billions of planets just in milky way? I dont think folks do realize how big those numbers are. And there is no reason to ignore rest of the universe if we talk about probabilities and statistics
- dartos 2y agoTbh even if the number of life sustaining planets in the galaxy goes from 400B to 350B, that’s still rarer than we thought.
- jvanderbot 2y agoIt's just another fraction to multiply in the drake equation. Start with planets, cut down to rocky ones, only in habitable zone, only rotating a certain way, only with plate techtonics, etc etc. Or using your numbers, 1/4 factor eliminates 750 million possible candidates. That's not a happy thought.
