For fifty years, the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence has been scanning the galaxy for a message from an alien civilisation. So far to no avail, but a recent breakthrough suggests they may one day succeed. Horizon joins the planet hunters who've discovered a new world called Gliese 581 c. It is the most Earth-like planet yet found around another star and may have habitats capable of supporting life. NASA too hopes to find fifty more Earth-like planets by the end of the decade, all of which dramatically increases the chance that alien life has begun elsewhere in the galaxy.

Based on that sample, scientists say that there are approximately 50 billion planets in the entire galaxy based on a conservative estimate of one planet per star in the galaxy, including 500 million that are theoretically capable of sustaining life. In astronomer Milan Cirkovic's view, truly advanced technological civilizations (ATCs: those who survive the bottleneck presented by the threat of self-destruction through warfare or asteroid impact or other accidents) will tend to be located at the outskirts of the Milky Way. The very traits that make ATCs capable of migrating and utilizing resources with high efficiency will tend to make them systematically hard to detect from afar. Jamin Zuckerman proposed in 1985 that stellar evolution of stars far older than our Sun is an important motivation for civilizations to undertake interstellar migrations. It seems implausible that any but the most extreme conservative societies would opt to wait to be forced to migration by slow and easily predictable process like their star leaving the Main Sequence.. Kepler has discovered some 1,300 exoplanets that revolve around a star, in an area that represents around 1/400th of the Milky Way. By extrapolating these numbers, the Kepler team has estimated that there are at least 50 billion exoplanets in our galaxy — 500 million of which sit inside the habitable "Goldilocks" zones of their suns, the area that it is neither too hot nor too cold to support life.

Permission for what? I was just asking what you really felt about all of this. I believe that we are not alone most definitely not..and I think there are answers that will amaze and astound us one day. You post a lot of interesting articles but don't discuss them often so I took the opportunity to see how you really felt. I wasn't trying to be 'catty'

If we were alone in the universe there wouldn't be any aliens coming here so we must not be alone. I wonder if ghosts exist in a different universe or are they part of ours. Do you think a ghost could travel from one planet to another? If they can go through walls why not outer space also? Ther e might be a planet out there with nothing but ghosts on it. that would rock! If we found a ghost on another planet would we call it an alien or a ghost? I don't think we are alone. The universe is waaaaay to big to just have a bunch of empty space. I bet there's stuff out there we haven't even dreamed of yet.

If we found a ghost on another planet would we call it an alien or a ghost? A very good question casper... ~rubs chin~ I think we could call it an alien... I mean... if you think about it... ghosts ARE aliens because they are from another realm... hmmmm... very interesting thought... my wheels are turning now.

I bet scientists wouldn't know what to call it since they don't believe in either of them. They would be really confused. ;D
