Via KurzweilAI.net:
One tenth of the stars in our galaxy might provide the right conditions to support complex life, according to a new analysis by Australian researchers. And most of these stars are on average one billion years older than the Sun, allowing much more time, in theory, for any life to evolve.
Interesting. A billion years is a good sized head start. If there is anyone out there, they might be so far ahead of us that we wouldn't have anything interesting to say to each other.
