Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

What statistics? We know of one planet with intelligent life. That's pretty much a zero statistically.
they seem to be referring to the Drake equation Problem with that is that it's not a real statistic but a very simple probabilistic argument. The only real terms in the equation, when it comes to putting in actual numbers, are the number of stars and planets. The rest is just hand waving.
Whoa I haven't read the news lately, when did we discover that? Where is it located?
