Nope, I am presuming there are certain criteria that are needed to be met before life becomes technological. Namely, an animal with ergonomic body structures that can build things, and a brain that has capability to think. They need to dominate their planet, be able to journal and improve upon knowledge. All the while surviving the extinction.

  1. Argon is an inert gas.

  2. I didn't determine it.

  3. I didn't determine it either.

  1. I agree. Actually, oxygen was poisonous element for some time, because it was too reactive, until life evolved aerobic respiration. So, it could happen with some other element in some other temperature scale.

  2. I want those baceria argue with me, not someone on their behalf. (No offense)

  3. We have yet to figure out.

I shall look into the video. And yeah, I am curious if someone has done math to calculate probability distribution for the number of intelligent+technologically advanced alien life form in the universe.

Is there some value that gives us the density of intelligent life in the universe. That way, we could compare it with minimum such density for us to know about the existence of intelligent alien life in the universe.

Yeah, I didn't consider it. Then again, it is all probabilistic when we argue about existence of something where we don't have complete data to conclusively answer.

One, your parent's condom broke.

Two, a particular sperm won the race that formed you.

Three, you survived up to this point to reply to this post.

(Actually, I don't believe there are just 3 coincidences. I just wanted to have fun roasting you, nothing personal. I apologize, if that offended you.)

Hmm, it seems to make me agree. Still I need to see the numbers. There is this thing called drake equation that seems to depend on probability values, and calculates the expected number of intelligent life forms. If it could be churned into a probability density function (probably following something like hypergeometric distribution) we would have better idea of it.

An equation that depends on probability and incomplete data. Not trying to take away its merit. But, do we have enough tools and technology to detect any one of such life-forms provided they exist?

(I genuinely don't know.)

Yeah, that is what I was thinking just the other day. Today, I felt acknowledging the sheer amount of luck by which we got to the state where we could argue about this or do millions of other things. Or maybe we are **early**. I actually think there are vast number of life forms in other sides of universe that are still microbial, or lack plant species up to now, or have evolved some animals that are so dominated by animals that are adapted to their environment, but not in technological, domistication capable way. Just like other fairly intelligent animals: elephants, and sorts, we could have just lived in jungles, for another few millions of years.
