    The Drake Equation is a series of variables used to calculate the likelihood of other intelligent life in our galaxy, the Milky Way. For decades, astronomers have used the equation to estimate the odds that Earthlings are alone in this corner of the universe.

    According the equation, it’s reasonably likely that there’s other intelligent life out there. But new research offers some revisions to Drake’s ideas that could drastically reduce the probability of us sharing the Milky Way with other complex life forms.
