[QUOTE="theaccurseddrummer:719125"][QUOTE="shamash:719063"]I wonder if planets around these gigantic stars are in porportion to our solar system, and if life on them is also?[/QUOTE] A couple years ago I got a book called Universe: The Definitive Visual Guide, which contains a short discussion on the rarity of life. Check out the odds of other life in the galaxy based on what the book calls optimistic estimates... Just in the Milky Way they estimate that 50 stars are born per year. 50% of those stars will develop planetary systems. Of those planetary systems, 40% will be habitable (based on size, in what stage the star is, chemical makeup of the solar system, etc.) Life WILL develop on 90% of those habitable planets. Possibly 10% of new instances of life will develop intelligence. 10% of intelligent life should develop some form of interstellar communication. On average a civilization will last about 10,000 years. Using a formula known as the Drake Equation, applied to these numbers, they are estimating that there are roughly 900 Intelligent civilizations thriving in our galaxy with the ability to communicate outside their own world, but obviously not with the reach necessary to contact earth. That's all based on the averages that the collective scientific community provided for the book's research, generous estimates have it over a million, and true skeptics came to less than one (which would mean we don't really exist, which makes no sense.) Anyway, thought that little tidbit would be interesting to you. Also, since the discovery of the first planet outside our solar system in 1995 there have been more than a two hundred found, just inside the Milky Way, orbiting stars that are almost identical to our sun at relatively the same distance, so the possibility is there.
