The Drake Equation and its Implications

Posted on April 23, 2023 by cuia2

     I’ve always wondered if there was life like humans in space, and thanks to the Drake equation, I’m now 99.9% sure there are multiple alien civilizations as advanced, if not more advanced, than us in our own galaxy.

Posted on March 13, 2019 by kierannaughton5896

Posted on January 20, 2019 by bobbyc

I’m truly baffled by the sheer size and scale of the Universe in comparison to the scale of the life I live, and the implications of that scale on finding life off of Earth. At any point in time, my attention is engulfed by only 10 or so meters of my surroundings, and often only … Continue reading Life off Earth Continue reading →

The Future Looks Bright

Posted on April 25, 2014 by paanvaannd
