Subj : to ponder ETs out there.. To : AUGUST ABOLINS From : Rob Mccart Date : Tue Nov 19 2024 00:41:00 AA>This recent paper will be interesting for those who ponder >about ET life elsewhere: AA> That was interesting. I read a book called Space years ago written by James Michener and using some similar math came up with an estimate that intelligent life in our galaxy should exist on about 15 planets. Of course the chances of them tripping over us would be limited. That said, I liked better another comment I once heard, that if an advanced, space-faring race of aliens were to stop at out planet in search of intelligent life, they would leave immediately after having detemined there wasn't any..
