“I doubt it. Life as we know it is extremely rare.”
Found any yet?
Out of 52,000,000,000,000 known galazies each with 300,000,000,000,000 stars... yep I could see how life would be rare...
So let’s see the number od stars is 300*52=15,600 followed by 24 zeros.
Yep very long odds.
The odds of discovering life in another galaxy are essentially zero. In this solar system if there's microbial life on Mars, or "marine" life under a frozen surface of a Jovian or Saturnian moon, we're most likely going to have to visit in person to find it. That would seem to narrow those numbers quite a bit.
Life is extremely rare on Earth. Even more so if one includes the Solar System.
It's what we know and what we observe.
