Isn't it weird that every planet in our galaxy is dead?

[IkeTheGeneric]

Just look, none of them sustain life, they have no atmosphere and only a handful of them have water.

Just dust and rocks.

But then it got me thinking - what if that's what they started out like? Per say, what if earth's atmosphere is the result of the shape of the planet?

Or some freak accident happened and the atmosphere just appeared there.


So would that mean that for a planet to sustain life, it has to be shaped perfectly.

Meaning that there's at least a 0.004% chance that there's life on other planets.


stuff.

at least?
try "at most" lol

I heard they found bacteria on mars

[brickybob]

MOON PEOPLE,
MOON PEOPLE EVERYWHERE.

It's probably because we got lucky.  Think about it.  3rd from the sun, nice and warm, air, water, McDonalds, we have all need to survive.

I heard they found fossils of bacteria on Mars.

I can sense where this topic will go.

[DracoSoul]

uh no it was god duh wtf were u thinkin lol

[Jubel]

Well, there billions of other galaxies out there.
Someone invent trans-light engines.

There are species, even on Earth, that can live in extremely hostile environments. I don't think a planet has to be that much like Earth in order to sustain life.

[Daedalus]

But guys, everything is infinite. Because we as humans can't really conceive infinity, we try to rationalize it by making it finite in our minds.
So if you think about it, it's almost impossible not to have life somewhere else.

stuff.

I think you mean our solar system, not galaxy. (Sorry if someone already covered this, don't have time to read.)

Our galaxy is full of all different kinds of life, including inhabitable planets and extra-terrestrial species.

But yea our solar system is dead as a motherforgeter.

[Gear]

Mars was pretty much like the earth
then it got toasted by the sun

[asablief]

apparently theres some twin milky way or some stuff out there that is thought to have life

I don't think we're alone out in here

[Tingalz]

Congratulations, everyone above this line, you are an astronomical handicap and don't know what you're talking about.
Ike, we haven't even seen a fraction of the planets in our galaxy, how would you even know what they look like or if they do or dont have life. I'm also not even going to address that whole thing about planets needing to have the right shape for an atmosphere.
"Just look, none of them sustain life, they have no atmosphere and only a handful of them have water."
We don't know if any of them sustain life, many of them, like venus and the half of them that are gas giants have very thick atmospheres, and barely any have water.
It looks like you're talking out of your ass here and posting on impulse.

I'm not sure exactly how many planets there are in our galaxy, but there are probably a forgetton, let's use the number one billion, 1,000,000,000.

Multiply that by your percentage, 0.004, and we get four million planets in our galaxy that has life.

There are probably more planets out there, so it'd be more than that.
