Based on the assessment of the probability of civilizations in the proper place, and using Bayesian inference, Varnishes showed that with a probability of 18% aliens exist in the observable Universe.
Depending on the combination of parameters required for the emergence of intelligent life, the probability of its existence in the world ranges from 1.4 to 48 percent.
As factors determining the emergence of civilization, the scholar calls the type of light, the mass of the planet and the distance between her and the star, as well as the evaluation of the diversity of genetic material for the emergence of different forms of life.
