there have to be more planets out there like earth we still dont know even a full 1% of our existance.take a good look at the planets its like a rose tree they bloom at a time when one go another comes, we see them all as dead planet some may have florish and died while the others are know building,earth took millions of man years to develope.so know one now or for millions of years will be able to solve the universe mystry .we are a dot in the universe microscopic from certain distance. we mankind is a virus to the planet,we will suck it dry and move on.

if thr r other “earths” then thr has to be water and land. if you think back to us, humans, then it goes back to the question how we were formed. was it some chemical or was it god himself?i do believe in god but not him entirely about creating us.That goes back to the question of other life forms. is it really possible that could happen, or is it just an illusion about there being more earths?perhaps in the future they may be more research, but i don’t think that anyone could prove how we were actually formed.

i was just wondering. what if the earth is the most backwards of all life in the universe. What if “the others” can see us but we cant see them. They may be trying to contact us but we cant hear them. Very interesting topic.

Old thread, no time. FWIW., @ andy:

Sure, dry Venus. I’ve seen the idea, but IIRC a geologist I discussed it with was skeptical. And rightly the dryness can be an effect of the lack of plates, and the atmosphere that gave.

But I see your point about the lack of answers (or even correct questions) all around. Thanks for the answer!

OK, there may be numerous Earth like planets out there, but it is a long way until we can ’see’ those planet and even very very long way before we can see if there are any sign of life over there.

Its not whether our galaxy and others are teaming with life,its about interstellar travel.Hell even i have to stop for coffee when i travel by car.

The 80/20 rule or so called Pareto Law seems to be a variation of Zipf’s Law which is used in linguistics:

This is nothing but a power law distribution which frequently occurs in nature in a variety of settings. Not sure how it applies to extraterrestrial life or how it helps us find it.
