After reading this thread, I am not sure there is intelligent life on this planet.Originally posted by Sour Masher View Post
I am not willing to rule out the whole universe, just this whole galaxy.
That said, as a mathematician, I have some experience dealing with the difference between large numbers and infinity. 27.6 billion light years, 2,000,000,000,000 galaxies, 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (10^24) stars. These are impressive numbers until you realize we routinely expand Mandelbrot's set more than that.
24 zeroes seem like a lot until you start dropping them two or three at a time. It is not difficult to develop a filter that is opaque. In our context, that means one where the expected number of intelligent beings is zero for the entire life of the entire universe. In such a universe we would be an outlier, a statistical freak. With only a trillion trillion other stars, it is easy to believe it never happens again. It certainly fits the evidence.

Nope. As far as feet go those are not her strong suit.Originally posted by Kevin Seitzer View Post
Well actually I spoke too soon. You should get credit as pictures of her feet are probably hard to find. She would be the one not getting the credit.Comment

well I'm pretty sure we all agree that there isn't life on Jupiter, but this is a gorgeous image released by nasa this week ...
It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.Comment

I like the little red spot. It's probably the size of Brazil.
I wonder how much color enhancement they are using.
