Two Trillion Dikironium Galaxies

Two trillion. Quite a big number. If you convert this using recent estimates of number of potentially habitable planets, things get interesting.

Even if there were only 1 other habitable planet (it is interesting to note how “Habitable” is defined) in this Milky Way galaxy, it’s still quite a big number. Let’s say Kepler 442-b which looks nice:

Two Trillion is 2,000,000,000,000; one million million; 10¹² (SI prefix: tera-), the current meaning in both American and British English

So by simple reckoning if there is a million to 1 chance of there being a habitable planet in any galaxy, there would be a million habitable planets in the universe, a billion to one chance, then only 1,000 planets and so on.

This is then all down to fine tuning. So what are the chances of the guys looking like that ultra-intelligent highly mobile Dikironium Gas Cloud? An even money bet? You would be surprised.

Dikironium Cloud Computer

The Dikironium cloud computer creature. Brian was an intelligent, yet predatory, non-corporeal lifeform that fed by forcibly extracting the corpuscles from your mind and lived off Old Cheetos and 12 packs of Whiskas Rabbit Flavoured Supermeat (390 g), absorbed using zero energy quantum mandibles. Coming to an environ near you shortly?

Alternatively, a Universe wide intelligence that threads through the material reality of the 3-D Space Time Continuum. A hyper-gigantic quantum computer existing outside our “Time” forever (“Eternity”) and always present.

It’s up to you.
