There is not a doubt in my mind that we are not alone in the universe. Here are those stats 1) The number of galaxies. An estimated 50 billion galaxies are visible with modern telescopes and the total number in the universe must surely exceed this number by a huge factor, but we will be conservative and simply double it. That's 100,000,000,000 galaxies in the universe. 2) The number of stars in an average galaxy. As many as hundreds of billions in each galaxy. That's 100,000,000,000 stars per galaxy. 3)The number of stars in the universe. So the total number of stars in the universe is roughly 100 billion x 100 billion. That's 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars, 10 thousand, billion, billion. Properly known as 10 sextillion. And that's a very conservative estimate. 4) The number of stars that have planetary systems. That calculation results in: 10,000,000,000,000,000 planets in the universe. Ten million, billion, as a conservative estimate. 5) The number planets capable of supporting life. Let's assume that this is very rare among planets and rate it at only one in a million. Simple division results in: Ten billion planets capable of life. YES, ALIENS DO EXIST, But we haven't come across any; well, at least that is what we are told. If not, they are too far to reach us and vice versa. Side: No
