In 1961 Frank Drake derived an argument, later to be named Drake equation, about a probability of extraterrestrial life in our galaxy. Life in Our Universe series deals with those probabilities. Is it possible that we are the only life forms in something as vast as Milky Way, let alone the Universe? And if we aren’t, how come we haven’t discovered anything resembling a civilization so far? Are SETI and other programs aimed at search for the extraterrestrial life useless? Perhaps Arthur C. Clarke said it best: “Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.”
