The reason why the Drake Equation is not a successful science is because it would be impossible to calculate some of the elements in the equation. The elements would take too long to get an accurate sample to give a scientifically sound explanation. For instance how would you calculate fi (the fraction of intelligent life forms)‚ how do you define intelligent? Is intelligent like you and I‚ is it like a bird or a rat‚ could it be a plant? There is no way to truly determine what counts and doesn’t

The Drake Equation is used to estimate the number of civilizations in the universe. It is more of a tool to use and help us understand and figure out how many worlds are out there. Each of the terms are being multiply to get the outcome for N‚ which is the number of civilizations in The Milky Way Galaxy whose electromagnetice missions are detectable. According to SETI website‚ the Drake Equation values R*‚fp‚ ne‚ fl‚ fi‚ fc‚ L are defined as the following. In the first part of the equation is R*.

CHE101 DS-01 Experiment Date 7/21/2013 Report Submitted 7/21/2013 Title: Experiment #8: Ionic Reactions Purpose: In this lab we will work with aqueous solutions of ionic substances and determine if they are soluble. If the solution appears milky than it is known as a precipitate reaction‚ meaning it is soluble‚ and that the ions separated and became surrounded by water. Precipitates in this experiment are electrically uncharged. To identify which compounds are soluble or insoluble

The sun by definition is the star that is "the central body of the solar system‚ around which the planets revolve and from which they receive light and heat." This self-luminous star is not only the largest object in the solar system containing 99.8 percent of the total mass but is also a fundamental necessity to every human and living thing’s life. The position of the in relationship to the sun‚ Earth determines the time of the year or season. The problem states "assume that at this time of

Fairuz Dalilah Binti Abdul Rashid Are We Alone? : Discovering Life on Other Planets Habitable Zone and The Drake Equation A habitable zone‚ which is also known as the Goldilocks Zone‚ is basically a region where there is a probability in finding the extraterrestrial life. The finding is based on the temperature and the pressure of a certain planetary-mass objects. When the temperature is between 273K and 373K‚ there will be presence of water that can support the extraterrestrial life to live in
