		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I posted a modification of the Drake equation that was intended as a speculative tool &#8211; no, rather a speculative toy &#8211; to assess the probability that Earth and its biosphere have been detected by at least one alien civilization during the last three billion years. I presented an example according to which there [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=roundworldscience.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1410178&amp;post=9&amp;subd=roundworldscience&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Given that in the last ten years we have found roughly 250 planets outside our solar system, it is perhaps prudent to ask whether an alien civilization may have already detected our own planet and its biosphere during the approximately three billion years it has harboured photosynthesising life. The Drake equation, the famous speculative tool [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=roundworldscience.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1410178&amp;post=8&amp;subd=roundworldscience&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

After landing on Mars in May 2008 the mission will study the history of water and habitability potential in the Martian arctic&#8217;s ice-rich soil.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=roundworldscience.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1410178&amp;post=7&amp;subd=roundworldscience&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

In December 2005 researchers from John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, UK, reported in British Medical Journal that they observed a significant fall in the numbers of attendees to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=roundworldscience.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1410178&amp;post=6&amp;subd=roundworldscience&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

So far, the statistics of exoplanet.eu show that there has been already 36 new exoplanet candidates either announced in refereed papers and scientific conferences or included in papers submitted to scientific journals (see figure below). The figure shows only the exoplanet candidates detected by the radial velocity [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=roundworldscience.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1410178&amp;post=5&amp;subd=roundworldscience&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

He argued that at least one of the following propositions is true: (1) the human species is very likely to become extinct before reaching a &#8216;posthuman&#8217; stage; (2) any posthuman civilization is extremely unlikely to run a significant number of simulations [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=roundworldscience.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1410178&amp;post=3&amp;subd=roundworldscience&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
