this is too complicated for my small american brain :confused:
Have you guys read the ender's game novels? In one, there is a conversation between Ender and a kid where they are talking about finding these beetles in a cave. They were trying to find out the probability that you could find more caves with beetles. Take this into account:
Has the intelligent life died off.
Would it even think to communicate?
How do we even know it developed in a way that COULD communicate?
What if the planet because desolate/unlivable?
Much much more.
How do we know that this life developed in a way similar to ours? This is really the most important question. Think about it. If you're blind, and have been your whole life, what is sight to you? How could you possibly perceive sight? Just like how I can't read minds. How could I know what it is like to read minds, because I can't do it. I have no understanding of how to do it because it's not within my grasp. So take into account the fact that this life most likely would develop in a way unknown and not understandable to us, and that they might exist in ways we can't even comprehend.
Another example. Say I invent another genre of music. Something completely revolutionary in the world of music. Well people would back and say "Why didn't anyone think of it before?" Well, that's becuase nobody could becuase it's an unknown idea.
Sorry, Drake's equation only takes into account intelligent life that is perceivable by our senses.
It's the same reason scientists only look for water. To look for any other type of life would be inefficient because we could spend millions of years raking through every possibility of any form of life.

Well then you just proved it's monumental flaw.
IMO we should be putting our money towards colonizing before we blow ourselves up.

How was my previous post dumb at all. That was a shitton of stuff not even taken into account by anyone of the thread. I understand the premises of the equation, but I was proving why it was useless.

It was rated dumb because you bumped an old thread.
How did this happen it was on the first page.
I am so confused.
