There's that word again.

You keep trying to misconstrue my posts.

(powerball) Your chance of winning the lottery on a single ticket is one in 175 million.

Oh shit, I used the word chance. Would you prefer me to substitute the word odds?

The odds of all this world coming about in the perfect combination is 1 in a hugeeeeeeeeeeee fucking number. So what is that chance?

A huge number that's still much smaller than the number of stars in the universe, still smaller than the number of stars that have planets.

It is? Could you provide either of those numbers for me?

this is just science trying to use its current knowledge to make a guess for people who want to know, Toofliss, but on February 2, 2011, the Kepler Space Observatory Mission team released a list of 1,235 extrasolar planet candidates, including 54 that may be in the "habitable zone."[8][9][10] Based on these latest Kepler findings, astronomer Seth Shostak estimates that "within a thousand light-years of Earth" there are "at least 30,000 of these habitable worlds."[11]

Also the Drake Equation!

Seriously last post since this thread is going no where but:

We should've encountered some of these *****s by now. Where dey at?

I don't remember this scene (at this angle and with Riker doing this) Is this from outtakes?

“Try to imagine phase space… of the entire universe. Each point in this phase space represents a different possible way that the universe might have started off. We are to picture the Creator, armed with a ‘pin’ — which is to be placed at some point in phase space… Each different positioning of the pin provides a different universe. Now the accuracy that is needed for the Creator’s aim depends on the entropy of the universe that is thereby created. It would be relatively ‘easy’ to produce a high entropy universe, since then there would be a large volume of the phase space available for the pin to hit. But in order to start off the universe in a state of low entropy — so that there will indeed be a second law of thermodynamics — the Creator must aim for a much tinier volume of the phase space. How tiny would this region be, in order that a universe closely resembling the one in which we actually live would be the result?”

Lennox goes on to cite Penrose’s answer:

“His calculations lead him to the remarkable conclusion that the ‘Creator’s aim’ must have been accurate to 1 part in 10 to the power of 10 to the power or 123, that is 1 followed by 10 to the 123rd power zeros.”

As Penrose puts it, that is a “number which it would be impossible to write out in the usual decimal way, because even if you were able to put a zero on every particle in the universe, there would not even be enough particles to do the job.”
