My form of the Drake Equation:


The Drake Equation doesn't take into account
the latest sciences of self organzing systems.
Think of the probabilities of life this way.

Both a gravity well, and a fitness peak, follow
inverse square law behavior. Which means
that black holes and life are analogues of
each other. Both are rare, but absolutely
inevitable given enough time.

"They" are out there, or will be at least.
But the reason I think we won't be visited
or visit is simply that it's so much faster
and easier to look, instead of travel.

And by the time we could possibly travel that
far, we'll have probably figured out
whatever it is we wanted to know
in the first place.

It may be enough to remotely sense that life
is elsewhere.
