Some new tinkering with Drake's equation suggests that we could be alone in the universe.
Are We Alone In the Universe? New Analysis Says Maybe
Can you imagine how profound it would be if we were the only intelligent species in the entire universe? I don't really think we'd ever be able to determine that for certain until we were able to investigate every inch of the universe and I don't think that's likely anytime soon (if ever). Our galaxy alone presents a daunting challenge for anyone hoping to get in touch with other intelligent life. Isn't it still interesting to think about the implications of either outcome though?
I'm not sure if it would have a humbling effect to discover we were the only ones here or if it would push our hubris over the edge.
