  • Absurd

  • I estimated that there are around 162,000,000 planets that hold intelligent species; 80 million planets that hold intelligent species that are currently developing primitive tools; and less than 10 planets that hold intelligent species that are right below a type 1 civilization status (like us). Let's just hope that we can survive to reach a type 1 civilization, because it's very rare that any extraterrestrial civilization will reach a type 1 or type 2 civilization.

  • (z) in the other hand is the continuum which is all the distance in the universe being the 3rd dimension(x,y,z).. when you fall into a black hole your body or structure of you stretch to molecular size and you completely vanish into what??? i say on the other side of the hole is a different continuum(z) in which your in a different part of the universe in which your stretched molecules are set off to be! im just a high school grad. so don't be harsh on my opinion and if you know try to explain
