Hey guys, what are your thoughts on the existence of extraterrestrial life and the potential involvement of governments in concealing or studying such entities.

    Depending on your interpretation of the Drake equation, they are either impossible or inevitable.

      Ah, the ol’ Drake Equation, providing useful input since 1961

      I propose a more elegant equation called the Fifty Cent Equation:

      p(A) = x

      If x equals 0, then there’s no aliens. If x equals 1, there are definitely aliens. If x is between 0 and 1, non-inclusive, then maybe there’s aliens.

      It’s math yo. I’m helping with math.

        So you’re saying it’s 50/50. Half the time it works every time.
