  • why does he say 10 planets?

  • @rippinshamz PENIS, LARGER THAN LIFE.

  • LIFE :) ITS A WORD THATS BIGGER THAN ITS AMOUNT OF LETTERS SUGGEST

  • @MadHighway Hi, may I know ur facebook email add? I am very fascinated with your ways.

  • @EricFleet

    Last night I did the Drake Equation with a few modern updates (G- and K-type stars, no binaries allowed) and I allowed that an intelligent/aware species would develop technology (or vice versa!)

    I came up with a range of N=1 to N=30. I kept having trouble with the chance of 'right' planets actually developing life. 0.00001 or 0.000001 chance (10^-5 or 10^-6)?

  • The day when Carl Sagan died, cosmos cried.

  • Thumbs Up.

    

  • @Ryagful Perhaps :) The point is that we won't have an idea of the values to assign Drake's equation until we actually discover some intelligent civilizations :)

  • @3000cecil Apologies if my comment seemed rude. It as not intended that way.

  • @Ryagful

    Earth-size and in the so-called 'habitable zone' planets are f-sub-p and n-sub-e and were well-guessed at anyway before the Kepler probe.

    Like I said, I await the discovery of an exo-planet with a spectrum showing a strongly oxidizing atmosphere like ours.

    The latest Grand Tack model shows that in order to have an Earth you need a Jupiter and Saturn as well. I await too the discovery of a solar system like ours.
