if you knew anything about probability theory you would have easily seen the analogy the only difference is my math is actually correct and it's integral with respect to radius is the outter boundary of a volume of a sphere that when the volume of a sphere with radius ,such that R>r , is subtracted from it giive the useful volume for chemical reaction to occur ,,and since chemical reactions occur on a sub-atomic level , estimating the number of possible chemical reactions in that volume would resolve to an astronomically high figure ,,that would be a divisor to the numbers that dj is relying on.
AND: since radio-astronomer are begining to pick up evidence of massive interstellar clouds of building block of life.. my numbers are most likely only a tiny fraction of thet volumes avialable for chemical reactions to occur.
P.S. to any mathematicians here : I realize I used a definite integral but, I didn't have a value for r on hand.
