Re: U.F.O's
I gave up when logs appeared in school maths classes, it went beyond the practical for me so let others do it, my brain is geared for something else. I like to muse on possibility. Once you accept anything is possible, it just needs the right circumstances to occur, they did here so they are bound to have happened somewhere else in an infinite universe.

Re: U.F.O's
it is a theory that is based in maths rather than obsevation.
the planets and solar system exsist without it , theory based on maths is misguided even sheldon realised that
anything is not possible

Re: U.F.O's
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_equation
Europa looks to have the necessary conditions for life, so that’s two from one system, that seems to conflict the "conditions for life exist nowhere but earth" statement.
It seems unlikely (but possible) that only one out of the likely billions of planets would fit the requirements.
As to the chance of that life becoming space travelling, and then overcoming the restrictions of the speed of light and the huge distances involved, that’s a bit less likely. Finally the chance of a alien race doing all that and having a similar level of intelligence to us, so they notice us and we notice them is very small it seems to me.

Re: U.F.O's
a planet cable of life , will have life on it
a planet incapable of lfe will have no life on it

Re: U.F.O's
if you are talking about String Theory, then it is a set of explanations that attempt to fit observations. All Physics starts with observations, that’s what makes it Physics, and why Maths is not a science and doesn’t claim to be one.Daniel Quinn wrote: ↑Wed Nov 08, 2017 12:49 pm it is a theory that is based in maths rather than obsevation.

Re: U.F.O's
And the basis for that assertion is?Daniel Quinn wrote: ↑Wed Nov 08, 2017 12:53 pm a planet cable of life , will have life on it

Sounds to me a bit like the historical ages idea of Spontaneous generation which we now know is wrong.
Imagine the earth, 30 seconds before the first life occurred. That was capable of life, but had no life on it.

Re: U.F.O's
And your credentials to make that statement are? Or are the only things that are true things you understand?Daniel Quinn wrote: ↑Wed Nov 08, 2017 12:56 pm it is so far extrapolated from observation , it mightas well be a lego universe
By the way, assuming you do understand the problem its trying to explain, do you have a better and simpler explanation?
