Astrophysicists developed a theoretical model that could be used to estimate how likely it is for intelligent life to emerge on other planets. The post New way to calculate probability of intelligent alien life in universe appeared first on Talker.

The chances of intelligent life emerging in our universe—and in any hypothetical ones beyond it—can be estimated by a new theoretical model which has echoes of the famous Drake Equation.

We do not know if there is life elsewhere in the universe. It is likely, given that we are here, that there are other beings out there too. We also do not know if the characteristics of our planet are the best there can be to make life – some might be better.
