Quote:
The idea that life is inevitable elsewhere based purely on the staggering
number of planets in the Universe is being chipped away at. Ultimately,
we're in no position to make any solid judgements. But this research
suggests that planets like Earth, where a million different factors lined
up just right, are most likely exceedingly rare.
