An unstated assumption in the line of discussion is that they exist simultaneously/now. Given that humans have only had the ability to... -

Why would you need any more than a smidge of gravity? Say, 20%? Just enough to make sure things don't float around in the corridors... -

Even then - with a 100LY limit for communication that is 60k stars, so there could be tens of millions of technological civilizations in... -
PeroK replied to the thread Alien life, probabilities, and interstellar propagation of human life.I don't see any evidence that this is more than sci-fi fantasy. Yes there are (technological barriers). There is no technology that... -

I think the Fermi paradox is different than what has been stated here. I think it goes like this: (1) We can already envision our... -
PeroK replied to the thread Alien life, probabilities, and interstellar propagation of human life.I guess it depends on how the Sun-like stars are distributed. The current estimate seems to be about 5-10 billion Earth-like planets... -

My simple calc was 60k stars within 100ly out of 100 billion potential, but that would have an upper limit of around a million... -

PeroK replied to the thread Alien life, probabilities, and interstellar propagation of human life.It's more like tens (or perhaps hundreds) of thousands. With millions of civilizations, randomly spread, there would be a high... -
PeroK replied to the thread Alien life, probabilities, and interstellar propagation of human life.Another point I would make is that saying that the observable universe is "teeming with life" is not a very useful conclusion. If, say... -
