Life in the Universe: What are the Odds?
As humanity casts an ever-wider net across the cosmos, capturing evidence of thousands of worlds, an ancient question haunts us: Is anybody out there?
But..Why ?
It’s one of the questions I ask myself more often lately. It all started when I started reading Stephen Hawking’s book “Brief Answers to the Big Questions” … with the 3rd question: “Is there other intelligent life in the universe?” …
Here I want to share with you some of the answers and / or considerations that I liked the most, and comment on them with you.
[ps: I will continue in the next few days, in the meantime here are the links to some of the sources I think I ll follow -raw-
