“For all our feelings of self importance, we are only a kind of biological rust, clinging to the surface of our small planet, and weighing far less than the air that surrounds us”

“One of the distinctions and triumphs of the advance of science has been the deprovincialization of our world view”

– Carl Sagan

Abstract

A number of the implications regarding the possibility of extraterrestrial intelligence are discussed. The Drake equation is introduced and some values for the established parameters suggested, a further parameter is proposed. Some of the principle arguments for and against extraterrestrial life are discussed. It is acknowledged that we have already announced our existence to any nearby technological civilisations and that not to anticipate contact with an extraterrestrial intelligence would be unwise. It is suggested that extraterrestrial life is possibly quite abundant, however the prospect of life on Earth being unique is also recognized.
