@...@According to a new study based on data collected by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and NASA*s Kepler Space Telescope, it might be that Earth is an early bloomer// By extension, the logical progression from this new study is that we*re not hearing from advanced alien ©civilizations because, in short, the universe hasn*t had the time to spawn many more habitable worlds//
@...@The study, which focuses purely on the likelihood of the evolution of habitable worlds, finds that when our planet was born from our young sun*s protoplanetary disk some 4//6 billion years ago, it was born into an era when only **8 percent of the potentially habitable ©planets that will ever form in the universe existed//** This means that the universe has 92 percent to go until it runs out of the necessary material to produce the stars that go on to produce planets, some of which will be small and rocky and orbit in just the right location for life to thrive//
