Townes this week spoke of his interest in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. The sheer number of stars and planets, he said, would likely increase the probability of intelligent life elsewhere. But for life to get started on even one planet is "highly improbable. It might not have started more than two or three times," he said. "It would be fascinating to find somebody out there." Amazing guy! I hope he's right on the God part and wrong when he says life may have only happened on 2 or 3 planets. I would hate to think that all my scifi reading was for naught. <g> ted
