70,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Astronomers say that there are 70,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars in the universe.
With this piece of information, how can anyone think that the earth is the only inhabited planet? SUPERJOINT RITUAL - http://www.superjointritual.com

Just to try and put this in perspective (as if!), does anybody have any idea how our sun compares to the average star? Bigger than average, smaller than average, about average? Armed with that info I reckon I'll be able to grasp the scale of the universe! Life it ain't real funky unless you got that orgPop. | |

Our sun is a small star... technically, a yellow dwarf. True, the sun is a yellow dwarf, but it will eventually become a red giant in about 5 billion years, as it runs out of fuel... the core will collapse into a white dwarf of approximately the size of the earth and then it will die and become a black dwarf... thus is the life of the sun. | |

... [This message was edited Tue Jul 22 7:36:32 PDT 2003 by IceNine] That makes the universe pretty big then Can you explain yellow dwarf? Another comment in the article I read (at www.theage.com.au) demonstrated the shear size of the universe: Dr Driver said the entire universe was so big that no telescope could see it all - light from the other side "hasn't reached us yet". Also the bit about 70K mio mio mio being ten times the number of grains of sand on the earth is pretty daunting. Life it ain't real funky unless you got that orgPop. | |

With figures this large, there's very little we can do to get our heads around them. I mean, the number of grains of sand on the earth might be a starting place, but do you realize just how many grains that is? It's really a lot of fucking grains of sand...our little brains were not designed to perceive such astronomical quantities.

Since evolution is generally accepted as the model of mans origin, who R we 2 say that other civilizations arent springing up in an endless time frame. They may be much further along the evolutionary scale than we are?! But lets not hope in a nasty way!
I do believe that there is other intelligent life in the universe due 2 its great vastness and aray of stars and planets. The chances R that even though there may be biliions upon billions of planets with similar climates 2 that of earth, we would have no way of knowing.

Technically speaking, a "dwarf" star is simply a star that is of normal size in relation to mass. As far as size goes, the sun is kind of middle of the road... it is average at best. It is not the hottest or biggest star out there, but it does the job quite well. There are certainly more massive stars out there, but they are also VERY hot and would not be a good fit for life as we know it. | |

The number is actually higher than all the grains of sand in all the beaches and deserts of the earth. :O SUPERJOINT RITUAL - http://www.superjointritual.com

Hmm, good theory Ice, I really like these kind of threads that you start, like about alien life and space science, but of course you can expect that from someone who visits www.space.com *********************************************

I saw the story about the number of stars on CNN today and thought that I would start a thread... the life of yellow dwarves and various stars is pretty common knowledge for anyone who is even remotely interested in science.
