Are we alone ??

[dig deep]

Stupid question, really !

There are more stars in the seen universe that we have grain of sand on all our beaches here on Earth.

Let us assume that there are 1 % of those stars that have planets.
In every handful of sand You grab then there is one grain that has planet(s)

Let us say that 1 % of those stars have stone planets. In every bucket of sand You take every second one is a Star with a stone planet.

If every stone planet is in the Live sector (again, say 1%) has water then a ton of sand has a planet made of stones, circling in the living sector and having water.

A ton (metric)... how many could that be ?

Well more than one for sure.

SETI been looking for a signal for a loong time.

Now, what is a loong time in galatic measurement ?

A million years ? Perhaps a biljon years !

Seti been active for 70 years. They hope for a contact anytime.

Hopefully before the Sun runs out of gas , that will be withing the next 4 biljon years.

So the question I asked is rather stupid.

So am I

But if you happened to watch "New Tricks" on BBC1 earlier this week, you'd know the definitive answer.

Of course there is life elsewhere. It's just they would prefer to ignore the human race for the time being, until we grow up a bit.

Yes, could be a reason

The first step to verifying life would be water on mars, and somebody seems to have proof.

if there is not anything out there, it seems a waste of space!
