Are We Alone in the Universe? The Surprising Probability of Alien Life

In this short video, we learn about the mind-blowing number of potential Earth-sized planets that may exist in the universe. According to recent studies, on average, every star has at least one planet, and one fifth of those have Earth-sized planets.
With approximately 100 billion stars in our Milky Way galaxy alone, this means there could be billions of Earth-like planets in our galaxy. And when you consider the 100 billion galaxies within sight of the Hubble Space Telescope, the numbers become almost unfathomable. With this information, it's hard to believe that we are the only intelligent life in the universe.

If one flips a coin (or simulate this to remove the unlikely chance of it landing on the edge), and wants the result to be Heads, the odds are 50/50 or 1-to-1. If one flips it twice, the odds for that next toss are the same...and it doesn't matter how many times u flip it. The odds of _any_ given flip resulting in.the desired outcome will always be the same. BUT That's *not* what is being considered here. What we are testing are the odds of getting Heads *at least once.* The formula for calculating this is p^t-1 where P=the number of Possible outcomes and T=the number of Trials. So, for two coin tosses we have 2 (Heads or Tails), raised to the power of 2, minus 1 equals 3, which looks like this... HH HT TT TT The only way that we don't get the desired outcome of *at least one* Heads is if the respective results of both tosses are Tails. This is a 3-1- in favor of the desired outcome occurring *at least once.* For 3 tosses, it would be 2^3-1, or 7-to1, which looks like this.... HHH HHT HTH HTT THH THT TTH TTT And so on. The point here is that any time there are at least 2 trials, it is more likely than not that the desired outcome will occur *at least once.* That doesn't guarantee that it _will_ occur. That doesn't help predict on which trial(s) it will occur. But it *is* _more likely_ to occur at least once than to not occur at all; and the more trials there are, the greater the odds are in favor of it occurring. How does that apply here? If we consider the idea of Hospitable verses Inhospitable planets, due to sheer number of trials based on how many planets there are (more than 2), there is a greater liklihood of there being another Hospitable planet than not. And a number of Hospitable planets have been identified in the Milky Way galaxy alone. If we consider just those planets and whether they Host life or they Not inhabited, since (again) there are more than 2 Hospitable planets (something like 50 in the Milky Way) it *is* _more likely than not_ that at least one is Inhabited...and so on. The claim that extraterrestrial life _does_ exist would need a lot more evidence, but if the claim is restricted to mere _probablility_ of existence, the maths alone support this; and this is assuming only the conditions to support life _as we know it._ It doesn't even consider the possibility of life evolving under different conditions; and there is insufficient evidence to support that the conditions for life here are required. So, one is right to say that one _believes_ it is _more likely_ that there is life elsewhere in the universe. One is also right to say that one *knows* that it is _more likely_ that there inside elsewhere. The only thing that would be wrong is to say that one *knows* that life *does* exist elsewhere.

[@RenegadeShepTheSpacer]

This is false. Until we know the probability of abiogenesis, it is intellectually dishonest to make any claim about the possibility of other inhabited worlds in the universe, let alone our own galaxy. The likelihood of the odds being 50:50 is astronomically slim.

[@davidbrisbane7206]

The more we learn about Earth's history and the history of the solar system, the more unlikely it seems that intelligent life with a civilisation could have evolved anywhere in the solar system. Too many factors like having a Moon to keep the seasons stable, like having Jupiter to sweep up meteors and comets, like the Earth being large enough to have plate tectonics and volcanoes, like our lineage not being wiped out after each of the five or so almost life killing events on the planet during the last few million years, like the planet being big enough to hold only a substantial atmosphere and having a still active magnetic field to protect it, are required to be "just right" to have allowed us to evolve. There are potentially a rather large number of these factors to consider and which could be added to the Drake equation. If we apportion a coin toss probability to each of these factors then if there are 100 such factors, then 2¹⁰⁰ is around 10³⁰. So imagine running the Drake equation with its current factors and then dividing that answer by 10³⁰. This would be a very small number indeed. I.e. it's quite possible that as an intelligent civilisation, we are alone in the galaxy. I do think microbes and the like might be on lots of worlds and moons out there. Just not intelligent life.

[@philipsmi-lenguyen8155]

I think they are there. We jus don't have the tech to read their signature yet. Cause when their light and signals reach us, it takes light years as ours to them. And so they'd see us way way back hundreds of thousands of light years in the past. And so I actually think they are all around us and we are jus to far from each other to tell and it's only the 1's that invent interstellar travel that are able to.

The rare earth hypothesis would suggest that planets capable of hosting intelligent life are extremely rare within the universe. Likewise the conditions that allow intelligent life to evolve are highly unusual. In our case a series of very lucky flukes. Of the 5,000,000,000 species which have ever lived on Earth only one has made civilisations. The occurrence of technological civilisations may be far less than one per galaxy, which would explain the fermi paradox.
