Are we alone in the Galaxy?

@Dukedog

I've seen part of this research that gives this number, 36. I think it's one of the best ever done.

The only problem is that, it gives numbers like 0 and 964, I think. 0 if self-destruction is common, and almost one thousand, on an optimistic scenario, where life formation is easier than projected on the scenario that led to 36.

Also, I'm thinking like a robot sometimes. The effect of using too many AIs to research. :x

It's not research though. It is popularised science.

It's a research.

The scientific probability and data is saying that, the only possibility that we are alone, basically, is if self-destruction is extremely likely, when species get some development.

In that case, we have a lot to worry about! I don't think that's the answer, tough.

Self destruction is unlikely. There are 3804 active nuclear weapons. Nuclear powers have so far detonated 2000 nuclear weapons. A nuclear war would cause billions of casualties and render the European continent and the United States inhabitable, but humans may survive on the southern continents, and life as a whole is even more likely to survive.
The main threat to human life is not self destruction, but asteroid impact or a large volcanic eruption.

"Mars had also conditions"
Also the Saturn moon Enceladus may have such conditions.

"In 436 Mrd. years "
In a few billion years our Sun will become a red giant ans swallow the Earth.

Self destruction is unlikely.

You say so and I say no.

Can you point me to a research article published in a peer-reviewed journal making the claims that you are alluding to?

@CoffeeBeanKiller you said it's not a research. It's up to you to prove.

Anyway. Type 36 civilizations on google, fermi paradox and scientific research, and you might find the same study that we're talking about.

Bye.

Not really, no. I was saying it in passing. I can't force you nor intend you to make me believe me. I know what research is, and you do you.
