From a letter from a professional Recently, a discussion was published in the Trv-Feast about the likelihood of living life on a suitable planet . This is the same probability that can be theoretical about, but which cannot be measured, as long as we know only one case. At least one more, and then you can already evaluate this probability with an accuracy to an order of magnitude.
