Drake Theory? I'll have to look into it.

Isn't the Drake Equation the one predicting the number of intelligent aliens within contact-able distance in the universe?

The very same. But it doesn't predict their distance, more like it disproves the prediction of us ever seeing aliens within the next few thousand years. Even then it would be beyond a stretch.

Oh, ok. Simple thing. I already did that on the Aliens thread over on Deep Thoughts.

MATH.

Frank Drake made this up, it's called the Drake Equation. Figures out how many planets might probably have "radio civilizations" ie civilizations which have discovered how to control radiowaves and are thus capable of interstellar communication ie the only important ones, really.

the lowercase "v" indicates a subset.

N = Nv* Fvp nve fve fvi FvL
WHERE:
Nv* = number of stars in Milky Way ~4x10^11
f = fractions
fvp = fraction of Milky Way stars that have planets 3/4
fvp x Nv* = number of planetary systems in the galaxy
=3x10^11
nve = average number of planets in any given M.W. solar system. Not nine, more than one, Frank says five
=1.5x10^12
fve = life suitable planets. we have, generally, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and the moon Europa. That's ~ half 1/2
=7.5x10^11
fve = -part two- life HAS risen
=1.8x10^4
fvi = has intelligent life which can build a radio --this could be either a niche <1/10^6> =1.8x10^4 radio civilizations or a product of natural selection <1/10^8> =1.8x10^2 radio civilizations.
FvL = planets which have radio builders currently living that we might contact them -- (100 years)/(5x10^9 years) = .2x x 10^-7 niche= 10^-4, selection= 10^-6 But this assumes that humans go extinct tomorrow. Suppose we last for, say, 100,000,000 years. (10^8)/(5 x 10^9) = 1/10 niche= 1800, selection= 18

So, there are between 20 and 2,000 intelligent civilizations out there. Now. Among those... billions of stars... HOW will we find them?

On a further note, What if becoming a radio civilization is the trigger for extinction? What if radioactive bombs wipe out the radio civilizations almost immediately post discovery? (.....it COULD happen....) then there would be, um, zero.

Good show Uschi.

I also would have accepted:

P=f x p x n x h x f x l x f x i x f x c
This is actually written out all wrong, but the problem is I can't write it out correctly using the board format. [sad]

It does have it's uses, if you want to have sex and decrease the possibility of pregnancy, just put on those tighty whities. If it puts enough pressure on the balls, sperm count will drop; but you gotta where them long term.

I've heard about that. A lower sperm count isn't too high on my agenda, though....

I was walking to class today, and I noticed a giant tank marked "Warning: Liquid Nitrogen" positioned right outside the Student Union building.

....what do they use liquid nitrogen for? Cooling things? Why is it in a tank, in the middle of the school, where it's easily accessible to mischevious students?

Here's one: Name five Rare Earth medals-And you have to name one that has a name, which starts with a "K." I think you can guess what that one is.
