that has had little impact on peter ward. what about doctor michael meyer. can you summarize where your probability scale is on this issue? >> it's one of these things where peter made a good point. he used the word "rare." so i think it's almost definitely that there is intelligent life out there in the universe. the problem is is how far away is it? space is pretty vast. one of the things that changed very recently is yesterday's science discovery announcement of a planet that is 13 billion years old. >> peter ward, i want to pick up a strain that you mentioned earlier. that is this matter of improbability of intelligence on, in the universe. you want to explore that a little bit with us. >> the numbers are so huge that it's almost certain there will be other intelligence in the universe, but the question is are they ever in a vast univer every so close together that the technology of seti can find one another. are we going to be like fire flies on opposite sides of the continent trying to see open other from vast differences. the record that i do suggest
