Talk:Drake equation
Actually, this equation already appears on the Exobiology page. . . . weaseLOId

- Maybe a redirect would be in order, but this is also a topic in itself... I dunno. I saw we didn't have an article and wanted to link to it, so I paraphrased the presentation from Wikipedia and added some commentary from memory.

- I think this warrants a separate article. It could just do with formatting it up all nice and pretty and then adding a little bit of SPOV to it (similar to the xkcd version of the equation). ArmondikoVd hominem 09:37, 24 November 2008 (EST)
- An interesting read on Drake although I can't see where to include it in the article. The comments aren't that full of stupid, either, which is impressive considering the subject matter. The usual mix of "humans suck too much for ETs to notice us" and "but life could be so much different".

- The comments are, indeed, pretty good with a few minor exceptions. I added it as an EL, if nothing else it is an interesting read for people. ħuman

Removed sidebar[edit]
I deleted the <Ufology> sidebar, it has nothing to do with ufology or woo. (except maybe SETI woo.. but that's not ufology) Mainly I wanted to get rid of the Ufology category at the bottom of the page, and that was how to do it. I'm new here; I don't know if there's an astronomy or SETI or cosmology or (exo-)biology etc sidebar, but it would be appropriate under any of those. — Unsigned, by: 110.20.158.134 / talk / contribs (signed by bot) 12:15, 07 March 2015 (UTC)
Inverse-square law[edit]
I added the inverse-square law because it is an important problem with detecting civilizations.--BruceGrubb (talk) 14:25, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
