Is There Anybody Out There?

Mike's mind-blower for the day...

There are probably as many stars in the universe, ~1023 give or take, as there are grains of sand on Earth...



If one in a million of those stars had planets, and one in a billion of those planets had life-favorable conditions... You would be left with a hundred million planets that could have life.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if there was life out there... What would surprise me would be if we found it... ...or it found us...

BTW, that isn't a background from the movie Star Wars, that is a picture taken by the Hubble telescope. You are looking at over nine-thousand galaxies which contain between ten million to one trillion stars each. There are probably over one hundred trillion stars that you are looking at there alone. And that is literally just a speck of the sky...

Hmmmm...
