Betwen 300 and 3000.
However, due to their great distances from us, we are likely to have communication with only 1 or 2 of them in the next 1000 years.

Space is big. really big. Really really big. So big that there are probobly tons of planets that are suitible for life but the problem is time. There is a limit to how fast we can travel (the speed of light) and on the scale of the universe thats awfully slow. When you look up at the night sky your looking back far into the past just becuase the light takes so long to get here. So there could be,have been, and will be many civilazations but it would take an enormous amount of luck for us to be in the same galaxy and be able to find each other before we both go extinct. The creators of Star-Treck saw this dilema and said "pow warp drive" lol

I disaprove of people stating what they know nothing about.
We can guess that a certain amount of civilized beings out there exist. Even if there is no other life in the Milky Way, we can say or guess that there is one civilized life form in each galaxy. Right? The fact that Earth exists already gives us a percentage of life in the universe. Statistically, lets say, .00002 is the chance of an intelligent life in the universe.
Sure .00002 sounds hopeless and tiny but we are talking about 72 billion visible stars in our sky at night. Calculate that and you have over one, for sure, in just our visible sky. About half of those stars in our sky is the Milky Way which gives away to the probability to life in our galaxy.
This was mainly all from my knowledge on the Drake Equation. Wikipedia this and learn what you can. It states that ten million other civilations are out there in our universe statistically speaking. I believe this is possible becuase the larger in numbers you get , like every 3 in 10 females get breast cancer is not as accurate as 3000 in every 10000 females get breast cancer, the more accurate you get.

i think that D & H are nearer to the actuality than the others. I see no reason to rule different parts of our galaxy interior the quest for existence. If it exists in different galaxies, it could exist everywhere. and that i do no longer see any rationalization why it can't exist in an excellent sort of places. one factor which you skipped over is the time measurement. there is sorts of existence or civilizations that have existed interior the previous, or will exist in our destiny (based on the time it takes the actuality to attain us on the value of sunshine) that don't exist in our present. another factor properly worth pointing out - the thought existence could exist someplace else / elsewhen does not in any way advise that such existence is at present vacationing us. i stumble on that to be no longer susceptible to the component of impossibility.

None. Fermi Paradox. Where are they? A technological civilization should be able to spread throughout the galaxy in a hundred million years... but our solar system looks pristine.

Based on the number of 'normal' warm yellow stars, probably innumerable, but due to the amazing distance between stars, they could exist, but never be known.

Any number would be just a wild guess. We have absolutely no information that would allow us to say it was within a specific range. We don't even have any idea if there are any at all or not.

I agree that there is more to life than what we can see. And I suppose it would be dumb to think there is only 1 other.
