Drake's Equation - What is the probability of finding Extraterrestrial Life in our Galaxy
Drake's Equation - What is the probability of finding Extraterrestrial Life in our Galaxy The Drake Equation was the first mathematical formulation accepted by the scientific community to estimate the number of civilizations in our galaxy, the Milky Way, in other words, to determine the existence or not of intelligent life outside our planet. The Drake Equation identifies specific factors believed to play an important role in the development of civilizations. Although there is currently not enough data to solve the equation, the scientific community has accepted its relevance as a first theoretical approach to the problem, and several scientists have used it as a tool to raise different hypotheses. The Drake Equation represents a theoretical approach to take into account about one of the recurrent doubts of the human mind. Are we the only inhabitants of the Universe? Considering that in the Milky Way there can be counted between 200 and 400 million stars, around which pla...
