There are potentially over 8 billion planets capable of life

[quote] By extrapolating Kepler’s findings, astronomers have come up with some not-altogether-unfounded estimates for these values. For instance, they concluded that about 22% of Sun-like stars has at least one planet we class as potentially habitable. Doing the math based on the latest estimates for the total number of stars in the Milky Way, that gives us a rough figure of 8.8 billion potentially habitable planets in the Milky Way. That’s a lot of rolls of the dice, assuming you believe life has any chance at all of starting spontaneously. [/quote]
That's just our galaxy people. There's hundreds of billions of galaxies in our universe. That's a lot of potential for life. We're not special snowflakes.

1 ReplyEdited by ThatAmazingIdea: 4/22/2015 9:25:17 PMWhen the Big Bang happened... what existed prior to that? What made the mass so small it exploded into a 'infinite' universe? Isn't theoretically the universe still expanding? What is it expanding TO exactly? What's at the end of the universe? Honestly, I get pissed off at the idea I was born at this time. If I was born 10,000-20,000 years from now, so many more discoveries would have been made and all the cool technology we think of today as impossible would be in existence, at least some of my answers would be closer to discovery. It would be cool as hell, since we are going to be considered primitive to future humans. I'll shut up now...
