[quote:Anonymous Coward 973305:MV8xNDY4MjE0XzI0MjE2NzAzXzY3M0MwMkE2] [quote:johnlear] [quote:Anonymous Coward 973305] [quote:johnlear] Around the earth: ET's and us. Around the sun ET's only. There are about 300 different 'races' of ET's that live inside the sun. [/quote] Aside from the obvious fact of it being a radically inhospitable environment, let's extrapolate. With a conservative estimate of 200 billion stars in our own Milky Way galaxy alone, and given that our Sun is a fairly unremarkable main sequence star, and if we posit 300 races living in each star, for sake of argument, and acknowledging in advance a wide range of conditions inside them... ...this implies 60 trillion races in our galaxy alone. Further, it's estimated that there are 150-200 billion galaxies in our observable universe, so perhaps ~1e25 races, and that would be just those living inside stars, let alone those in or about the vastly larger number of planets.[/quote] [quote:Anonymous Coward 973305] You have vastly underestimated the size of this universe. [quote:Anonymous Coward 973305] If our Sun is so special, what's so special about it?[/quote] Its not special. Its just like a billion times a billion other suns. Oh yeah, I forgot, our sun is pregnant. [quote:Anonymous Coward 973305] Where did you come up with the number "about 300"?[/quote] Sleeper told me. [quote:Anonymous Coward 973305] How do you know it's not "about 75", or "about 2800"? [/quote] Because sleeper said 'about 300 different types of aliens living inside the sun'. [/quote] Thanks. Not my estimate of the size of this universe, BTW, and yes, it's a gross underestimate. That, plus there are other universes. [/quote]
