According to this CNN article, the latest studies indicate that Earthlike planets may be rather common (they estimate up to 1/3rd of solar systems should have planets.
My background is physics and astronomy, so I am somewhat familiar with this, but I haven't much looked into this study. However, this again makes the fermi paradox leap into my mind. Where in the heck is everybody, if planets are so common?!?!?! I suppose this is only tangentially gaming related, in that all the sci-fi games postulate that thousands of star systems are inhabited. Anyways, I wanted to throw this out there, see what the opinions were. Again, whre the heck is all the bug eyed monsters, green skinned hotties (Star Trek) and all the other alien races that should be out there? Dave |
