...and don't forget the yellow dwarfs of the right age. I hope you won't need to start over... So, where are we? What numbers do you have so far?

@Kisel228-fp8iz I'm here to stop people from regurgitating a thoughtless narrative because they want it to be true. Once I get people past the typical talking points, I can see they have no idea the universe isn't what they think it is. I love it, and here you are. It's hostile outside of our seemingly peaceful solar system, very hostile. And you have no idea.

@Kisel228-fp8iz Speaking of "physics" Did you realize that Quantum mechanics and classical physics don't align? That begs the question, which "physics" are you referring to?

@matthewboire6843 To everyone who says there is, should be, or could be life: What do you do about a hypothesis which you can’t prove and I can’t disprove? Where does it stand? What you're asking me to do comes down to believing, in the absence of evidence, on your say-so. It's like me saying you should believe in God if/when you dont.

@Kisel228-fp8iz Hot Jupiters with elliptical orbits, that travel through the inner solar system of an M-class star is the average. It's hard to have a stable, circular orbit in the habitable zone in that environment. Sounds hostile, doesn't it.

@Kisel228-fp8iz You do realize we have been making these observations for at least 30 years, don't you? "LSD" Sorry, I don't have your experience with that. Did you have an actual argument in there?

@lucycassidy2709 Most stars can’t support life around them. Most planets are too large. Most planets are gas giants. Most planets are too hot. Most planets are tidally locked. Most planets don't have circular orbits. ...and on... ...and on... ...and on... Then there are all the global catastrophes (that happen to every celestial body) that should have sterilized the earth long before us. I'm amazed at how the same people who use the numbers from the observable universe to imagine life everywhere will ignore what is also observable when it shows there can't be life everywhere. We haven't found life anywhere else, but you're convinced it's out there? That's faith, not science. By all accounts, earth is extremely habitable. So why has it only happened here once if it can happen so easily anywhere with less conducive conditions? Earth has been here billions and billions and billions of years and yet, only once. That should tell you that even under the best conditions and the 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000... opportunities, even we shouldn't be here by the numbers. There is only one LUCA.

@lucycassidy2709 A perfec world for other life forms? What other life forms?

@lucycassidy2709 I'm glad that was your last comment. It certainly wasn't a reply. Children often take their ball and go home when the game is too challenging. You haven't done the research to form an educated opinion. You went off on tangents stating what was obvious but lacked any true depth of knowledge to realize how entrenched your opinion is. I didn't imply that 10% was the lower limit of stars with a habitable zone, but that it was the upper limit. From there, the number drops off exponentially. The issue is NOT the number of galaxies, stars, or planets, but the number of stars that will allow a habitable zone, and the number of planes that are capable of supporting life. The number is not HUGE. It is not "what is possible." It is "what is reasonably possible." Sure, it's possible that Santa could exist, but it is not reasonably possible. You don't even seem to grasp how incredibly fortunate we are that life exists here. We have and have had more varied individual forms of life than all the stars because the earth is so conducive to life, but only one LUCA. In all of the billions of years of Earth's history and throughout all the different environments that have existed on Earth, life has only formed here once. Your expectations are not reasonable.
1
@lucycassidy2709 You seem to have the false perception that I don't understand what the possibilities are or that I fear those possibilities because there could be life in them. I do understand them, but that is where you've stopped. I've also taken the next step to understand why those possibilities are not practical. I've pointed out several of the major barriers that make life impossible. I don't fear those possibilities because I can't fear a life that doesn't exist.

@dynamicworlds1 The conditions have been right on earth for billions of years, and yet no new forms of life unrelated the LUCA have EVER been found ANYWHERE. Your theory has giant, gaping hole in it.
1
@dynamicworlds1 That is the funniest thing I've heard in a long, long time! Earth is now uninhabitable? Suuuuuurrrrre....
1
@dynamicworlds1 And it was you who was saying that we don't know what kinds if life can form or what conditions they would need, but now you know. Got it.... lol

@dynamicworlds1 Don't stop typing now. This is great stuff!!! lol

No, it takes light 8 minutes to reach us from the sun, and it takes 5 hours for it to reach Pluto. It's only a drop in the bucket either way.

Mars is 5 light minutes from us.

@Stephen-gp8yi Jesus guy! No its not true, its at least 4 light hours away. My reply easily covered that possibility. It's not our fault you made a few mistakes.

It has never not been going on.
