There are over a hundred
billion stars in our galaxy.

73

So it's likely that a few of
them could support life,

or even technological civilization.

75
00:02:39,759 --> 00:02:42,629

Sheldon,
searching for life

174
00:06:40,867 --> 00:06:43,403
on other planets
isn't serious science.

175
00:06:43,403 --> 00:06:45,205
Leave that to the

capable of supporting life.
