Is there any cap to odds? What are the odds of the earth being the only place in the universe with "intelligent" life/

Among the gazillion galaxies within the universe and billion trillions of stars and solar systems and planets how logical is it to assume we are it?

    To me everything is 50/50. Either there is or there isn't. Easy math.

    Thank you. I have been saying it for decades. I wish you hadn't deleted you iceberg question. I did the calculations and found that even a large iceberg is minuscule compared to the mass of The Greenland Ice sheet.

    I dunno Ele. That seems awfully simply to me. You treat it as a switch. Either on or off. I'm gonna hafta think about it . Thank you for your reply and Happy Tuesday. Yes or No leaves no room for maybe so. Is maybe so overrated?

    The odds are...

    However, there is no proof yet.

    There is not a thing to argue about yet.

     It isn't an argument I seek Sharon. It is information. Can odds be three trillion  to one or ten zillion to one? How high can odds go before they peak/end? Maybe the question is unaswerable. I don't know. That's why I asked. Thank you for your reply and the graphic. I think you know my very one is nappy baby blimp. Comrade trump will never be cuter than that!  :(
