How many planets with Humans?

Are there other HUMANS in the Universe?


My Theory was: There are billions of suns in the Universe. Perhaps, there are also billions of Galaxies in the Universe. Thus there must be quadrillions of Suns with Planets in the world and therefore there must be thousands of planets with human like beings in the Universe.

Now I have read the following formula of Frank Drake of Californian SETI-Institute:

The plausibility of Life in the Universe can be measured by a very interesting formula that will most probably be true - and by all means better understood than E = mc2:


N = R* x fp x ne x fl x fi x fc x L   

Okay, here comes clear-text: The Number of humans being assumed to live outside our Sun-system and having the capacity of existence, far away outside of our planet Earth, can be explained in clear language according to above formula as follows:

R* = New built Suns
x fp - Number of Suns with Planets
x ne - Distance to sun allowing life
x fl - Part of planets with development of life
x fi - Part having beings with intelligence
x fc - Intelligence wanting to communicate
x L - Laps of time for such Homos existence (perhaps 1000 years), to say time during which eventual humans are able and willing to communicate with other systems in our Universe.

All the rest of times can be assumed to have been gone long time ago - or just be coming in say 2000 billions of years.

Got it? Read it twice, read it ten times, because it may answer a lot of problems - since we wanted to know if we are ALONE in the Universe - or could it be that there are millions of planets with human-like life, on those satellites surrounding their stars?

Here my answer: As I said before, I assumed that second assumption with millions of planets would be true. Since having read the formula of Frank Drake, my theory in Intelligence and Earth-building is heavily shaken: An immense figure for possible planets sees itself reduced by an huge figure for diminishing the eventuality of this life to happen. Got it?

Well, considering what life is worth nothing on Earth, because these "intellectual beings" just now go down the drain, having pushed technology, science and destruction of planet to the maximum, the question may not be longer of interest for Homo non-sapiens.

But due to eternal wish to know more about our being, I will extend the question here:

If there is a God (inclusive his Pope as master) or if there is nothing of such importance, not even a Devil, can here be put aside: The evolution according to "stealing-ideas" Darwin, evolution of a Universe, with its galaxies, suns, planets, idiots, animals and plants would anyway produce some sort of developments, with or without life and - finally - human beings, with higher ethics, morals, science, brain-scientology, and other things, like wanting to communicate with other hypocrites, being bluffing around some thousands of light-years away.

But even if we were alone in the whole Universe, if Homo sapiens on his planet named Earth would be the only intellectual sapiens, wanting to communicate with other idiots, we still would have a reality, the average of people does not at all understand, since the chains of origins and effects are complex and of a nature, 999 out of 1000 can't grasp what's going on in town, Earth, Universe, not for one second and not for his or her life-time.

And here we better get the sense and reason for the extension of my formula above.

Actual life exists, of human beings, on Earth, but it should be multiplied by the heads who could possibly interpret the CHAOS of the present world, further multiply it by the heads on Earth, being able to put it in words and make a suitable philosophy out of reality, not understood by nobody. 

It's quite clear that I write such things always with a big grin in my face, not wondering, if my saying so is regarded by others as true or pure shit. Much more interesting is the following:

- You may have as many "Magnum" photographers as ever possible: With pictures you will never understand the mass-phenomenon of the killing, torturing, starving, of wars, money-world of the rich with their stock-exchanges, increasing poverty and loss of nature on this one planet, where life with intelligence is possible.

- You may believe or not believe in the Theories of Susan Sontag, that pictures are all and texts in philosophical depth nothing. What is left is that you will never understand just one percent of what's going on around you, even if media are trying to explain what's going on.

- NGOs with little intelligence like attac, may tell you the whole year long that with "very little steps" the mass destruction of resources, energy stuffs, transformed in deadly poisoned air and climate and weather unbalancing, can be stopped or cured. You would never understand that they tell you scrap the whole time - and that you will always ignore texts that explain the phenomenon of a declining species better and in all the details.

- CEO and politicians may tell you any stupidity over mass media they want. You would always creep in their asses and re-elect the most stupid Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Bush, Putin, Sarkozy, Merkel or Sharon - without wanting to make a distinction of talking of right-wing or left-wing governments, in Christian, Islam, Hindu or Buddha areas. It's all the same, in capitalism and socialism. We are living on Earth, did you forget?

- And you would always drink like Champagne the Boulevard-Junk of all sorts. It's the media who blind you in relation to reality. Assisted by Universities with one-eyed education programs and a casino-world of science, culture and ecology that makes you understand everything of no importance, except the only relevant matter to know: In which sort of Future human mankind will run into, just now.

Considering these facts, it may be absolutely pointless if we have only ONE planet in the Universe with "intellectual" beings of no intelligence, or thousands of millions - in distances of 1000 light-years or billions of light-years.

And now come back to the bottom, try to understand ten percent (instead of one percent) of the overall Chaos on Earth - and all your friends will tell you, how intelligent you are. And as our civilisation works, you can be sure to be next candidate of the Prize of Dynamite in Northern Europe.

More chances, however, are given to become famous, if you direct some missiles in Eastern Europe against Russia or China. But you can increase your importance: Try to become candidate for U.S. Presidency, and then you can govern like George W Bush the hegemonic and intellectual Nation of the sole planet with intelligent being on its surface - and still have plenty of shit in brain.

And thus, you would not even need any Pulitzer, Nobel or Bookers Prize to be someone in our Universe that most probably is without any common-sense and certainly without real intelligence in it, except the one of dull Intelligence Services of Hegemonics and their hypocrite admirers.
