Extraterrestrial Life
Summary
The scientific community's search for extraterrestrial life is guided by the rate of star formation in our galaxy and the frequency of earth-like planets in the habitable zone. The pursuit of any hypothesis must involve scientific rigor and testability through experimentation to determine its validity.
