2 EQUATIONS Page of 5 Drake Equation N = PELICG (I arbitrarily renamed these variables.) NOTE: Standard values for the below listed variables (P, E, L, I, C, G) is 1% (0.01). You may adjust this value as seen fit. N = possible number of existing technologically advanced civilizations (ETAC). = total number of stars in galaxy. P = percentage of with possibility of possessing planets. E = percentage of P with possibility of possessing Near Earth environments. L = percentage of E with possibility of possessing life. 1 I = percentage of L with possibility of possessing intelligence. C = percentage of I with possibility of possessing an advanced civilization. G = percentage of C with possibility of possessing self-longevity How would you define life? At its very basic, I define life as: consumption of nutrients, excrement of waste products, and reproduction whether through fission or fusion. A good example is the Black Smokers of the Mid-Atlantic idge. Bacteria and animals living in an environment supposedly entirely toxic to all life. esearch this. - How would you define intelligence? Most define the very basics of intelligence as: ability to communicate, self-awareness, ability to reason, and desire to survive. An argument I have used is that the songs sung by humpback whales is actually intelligent speech that us humans are incapable of comprehending or deciphering. - How would you define advanced civilization? Watch the Stargate: SG-1 episode The Nox (Episode #1, Season 1). Although it may not appear so at first, the Nox are a very advanced civilization. 4 - Self-Longevity is defined as a species that actively works to prevent its own self annihilation. Global thermonuclear annihilation has threatened our own species existence several times over the last 60 years. It must be remembered that an exceptionally barbaric and/or warlike species will not have much chance for self-longevity. The Standard Drake Equation N = f P NE f L f I fc fg N = possible number of existing technologically advanced civilizations (ETAC). = total number of stars in galaxy. f P = percentage of with possibility of possessing planets. NE = percentage of f P with possibility of possessing Near Earth environments. f L = percentage of NE with possibility of possessing life. 1 f I = percentage of f L with possibility of possessing intelligence. f C = percentage of f I with possibility of possessing an advanced civilization. f G = percentage of f C with possibility of possessing self-longevity. 4
