The “Drake Equation” is used by astronomers and it just changed..
The search for alien life continues strong and is not a topic reserved for those on the fringe. Scientists at MIT and Cornell are weighing in on things. The advent of exoplanets being detectable is making some news:
The Drake equation describes “N”: the number of civilizations in our galaxy with which radio communication might be possible. Its author, the astronomer Frank Drake, originally penned it as a discussion point for one of the first meetings about the search for extraterrestrial intelligence in the early 1960s.
The discovery of planets orbiting other stars has suddenly given astronomers a good idea of the fraction of stars with planets and the fraction with rocky planets in the habitable zone.
Let’s find out how this effected the equation on page 2

What’s the chances of finding one and not knowing it’s there?
What are the chances they already know how shitty of a species humans are and just avoid us?
If Einstein was right and the speed of light is the maximum velocity then the chances are “0” but if he was wrong then the chances are still “0”…that is due to the fact that Earth is an insignificant little planet on the arm or a spiral galaxy in a universe filled with galaxies
If I read right they just broke the light speed barrier… :/
They will more likely find us before we find them.
I think aliens live among us like the reptilians
It was a silly idea. We just lucked into splitting the atom.
We are the alien civilization. We no longer fit within or belong in Earth’s ecosystem. In fact, we are toxic to this planets health and its future.
And that’s the glass half “full” outlook.
Zero!
Lol funny question…..
We keep finding life on this Planet, It’s everywhere, But not like us
