I saw that - when do I leave?? We got almost a 50/50 chance someone is there -

Intelligent life happened here, yes, and there are zillions of planets like ours out there. Yes, if p is the probability that life evolved on earth and N = zillions then Np is the expected number of planets like ours with life on them, and so e^−Np = tinynumber is the probability that none of these other planets have intelligent life. The problem is the implicit assumption involved about p - that because there is intelligent life on earth p can't be too small. However all that really matters is that intelligent life evolved in the universe at least once - which of the zillions of actual earth-like planets we happen to find ourself on is irrelevant. So p, the probability of life evolving on any one of these planets (including earth) could be very very tiny, and Np could be about 1. It's like the person who wins a big lottery falsely concluding that because he won, and so many people bought tickets, there must be many others who won, because if the chance of winning was too tiny we wouldn't have won in the first place. So what is the probability of intelligent life elsewhere in the Universe (given that there it exists at least in one place)? It is simply the conditonal Poisson probability (i.e. P(X >= 2jX >= 1)) given by: (1 − e^− − e^−)/(1 − e^−) where  = Np. Of course this can vary from 1 to 0 depending on . For example;
if Np = 1 then the probability of intelligent life elsewhere in the Universe would be
(1 − 2e^−1)/(1 − e^−1) = 42%.
Those look like good odds.

it is common sence there is life in space, as you should know all life needs to survive is water. jupiter has a moon called uropa, under the ice lays a sea, if there is vents like on earth, witch by the looks of it there is, under that sea there will be life 100%, look this like up,, evidence the serch for nasa ufo part 1 on yahoo, the whole thing is shot by the hubble telescope so id aint dubed,, nasa has known for 40 years that there is life that has the intellect to build craft, did you know that nasa have found a way to fold space.... making a 1000000 year trip a second to make, they have the tec but dont know if it is safe...

On the planet that was found a few days ago orbiting a red dwarf in the 'habitable zone' I truly believe that there may be life, and they may be looking back at us!

Who knows, they may be discussing the very matter at the moment on a type of Yahoo! Answers!

I believe there may be life there if there is water. I know on Earth life can exist in places we previous though life could not exist like in caves where there are organisms that feed off the rocks with no sun light. If life can exist there that tells me that life is resilient and if there is any kind of way for life to take hold it will.

Right now, all we know is that based on composition, mass and distance fron it's star, this planet has favorable conditions for life to arise.

I think there is life on atleast the newest discovery. Maybe even livable for us humans

Never can tell...

Gene (above) is confusing:
"life" with
"life AS WE KNOW IT."

Just because someplace is too hot for us doesn't mean it's too hot for life!

No ...The latest may have a remote chance but all the others are too hot and way too close to their suns.
