I disagree. I think it would be just as much me as I am.

That's exactly what I mean.

Suck it. You wait until the rest of us get our new hair before you get yours as punishment for your doubt.

At the one in 10 million rate you gave, even if each star only had one planet that puts 10,000 such planets in our galaxy alone.

Then there is this mess. http://www.universetoday.com/85781/l...on-than-stars/. So maybe double that number.

And multiply the whole mess by 100 to 500 billion for the number of galaxies in the observable universe. http://www.universetoday.com/30305/h...-the-universe/

And we're at 1,000,000,000,000,000 to 5,000,000,000,000,000 special planets with life if you use the arbitrary fraction of 1 in ten million planets being special and life-y.

Again, if 1 in 10 million planets are "special", there are 1000 to 5000 trillion "special" planets. In the observable universe.

We know the universe is larger than the observable universe. On the far end some theories put it where if the universe is the size of the Earth, the observable universe is the size of a coaster on bar table which would explain why the universe seems isotropic and we can't see the curve. These guys say the universe is 250 times larger than the observable universe and actually is flat. Point is we don't know for now, but those "special" planets are certainly in greater number than 5000 trillion.

TLDR translation: Drewbacca was right. There are thousands of thousands of planets with potential for life.

p.s. It wasn't my intention to begin this quantum mechanics physics debate with several under qualified participants, but we're here so deal with it.

You are, so dumb.

You still don't understand the problem and you still don't understand how that's not a solution. There is no application to make your current cells regain what they've lost or anyway to rebuild sections of DNA that have been lost past the Telomere sections, again, all you've done is shown studies which I was essentially referencing when I said:

Why? Because stem cells and cancer cells already do what we need to force upon every cell in our body to fight this process. One big problem though, is that the random attachment of Teomeres doesn't help people who's cells have already degraded past the Telomere range, which is really the big problem. Not to fucking mention that in both those studies they simply showed what stem cells do, which, shocker, doesn't solve our problem as our bodies are not composed entirely of stem cells. That research shows a naturally occurring phenomena which could help us find a way to do this to our pre-existing cells, but you'd still have to get it going before natural loss of DNA sections through replication gets too deep into the coding DNA; OR you'd have to somehow place DNA from cells where it hasn't passed the Telomeres into all your cells where they have, because randomly tacking on Telomeres isn't going to give you functioning sections, you stupid fuck. Stop talking about this, you have no idea what the problem really is or how to solve it, you just know a little bit about stem cells and you have no way to recognize the painfully obvious missing piece between what you're showing me and what I'm talking about.

It's as if I said we still can't make humans fly without the aid of machines and you linked to a study showing that birds can fly. No shit.

I am amazed how Opaque is an expert on everything.

Thousands of thousands taken to it's absolute limit is:
9,999 x 9,999 = just this side of 100,000,000

The real number is much closer to 1,000,000,000,000,000

Your number was 10,000,000 times too small.
Hundred millions of ten millions is more than a little bit bigger than thousands of thousands.


Thousands of thousands being generous and including any number with the word "thousands" in the name is:
999,999 x 999,999 = just this side of 1,000,000,000,000

That's still off by 1,000 times.

Learn to math better.

Edit: Lol, you didn't even say thousands of thousands. You retconed your original statement and still failed to come up with a number larger than "silly".

Josh: You could be too. You just have to find the right Professor to study under.
