Problem with that is that it’s not a real statistic but a very simple probabilistic argument. The only real terms in the equation, when it comes to putting in actual numbers, are the number of stars and planets. The rest is just hand waving.
What statistics? We know of one planet with intelligent life. That’s pretty much a zero statistically.
Whoa I haven’t read the news lately, when did we discover that? Where is it located?
