Drake's equation was meant to "hype" the possible existence of intelligent aliens and draw more $$$$$$$$ for the researchers. At the time it made sense. As the equation has been filled in with increasingly better data, zeroes have popped up as the product of the equation. As you're aware, anything times zero equals zero. It is unclear which factor or factors is a zero, but at least one fits the bill. Certainly the quantity of planets is not it. Holy Moly. I admit I've mocked Drake's equation and stoners who stare at the sky and say "whoa dude that's like really big" but I certainly haven't relied on them. I've relied on the data.....the math. If something was there to be found, it is almost inconceivable it wouldn't have been found yet. Don't rely on me. Don't rely on Drake. Don't even rely on Von Neumann or Fermi. Rely on the results, and the math behind them. Quote

So this is completely backwards you're assuming the result is zero so therefore there must be something in the equation that causes that. That's more for debating why there isn't intelligent life out there than debating whether there would be. 3 hours ago, 4merper4mer said: I admit I've mocked Drake's equation and stoners who stare at the sky and say "whoa dude that's like really big" but I certainly haven't relied on them.

We haven't even been looking for a hundred years hell we haven't even been around as a species for very long on the scale of life on Earth let alone the Universe. If the signals we've sent out that we ourselves look for to find intelligent life haven't even escaped our own Galaxy how can we possibly think we've looked long or thorough enough to conclude "Whelp now one is there."
