yes, it could be every galaxy has trillions of earth like planets...

@ogb saidUh…I read the entire article…what did I miss that indicates to you there may be TRILLIONS of EARTH-LIKE planets in every galaxy?

@liljo saidSo when I finish construction of my hyper-jump spacecraft and be able to visit every star system to study it for a day, it would take me 100 billion days to explore our galaxy.
A quick search on the internet says there are, in fact, 100 billion stars in our galaxy.
And there are an estimated 1 TRILLION stars in the Andromeda galaxy! ! !
@bunnyknight saidcorrect and nearly every star has planets...half of which sustain life. That's why there are aliens walking among us today !!

My hunch tells me that I may not live that long.

@bunnyknight saidYa know, BK, I could twist one up, rock back, take a few tokes, and prolly listen to you all night.
My estimate is a bit more conservative:
I figure about 1 in 50,000 planets to be habitable, which would give us only about 2 to 3 million habitable worlds in our galaxy. Out of those about 50% have microbial life; 2% have plant life; 0.1% have cute animals and 0.001% have intelligent life. However, if an advanced race colonized a whole lot of planets, it would make the above estimate worthless.
@liljo saidNot just the spacing but the timing. I can't do all the math but our "enlightenment" of the past several thousand years is a flash in the pan of the 14 billion year old universe. The fossil record shows that species come and go and likely the existence of an extraterrestrial intelligence is both too far away AND too distanced in time.

Good stuff. Enjoyed.
Yeah, I know all this is conjecture, but that's one of the most beautiful things about the whole human experience--the fact that we can imagine these things.
I definitely believe the universe is just simply too immense for this planet to be the onl ...[text shortened]... alone. I just believe that, due to the spacing of objects in space, we will never meet one another.
