Based on the famous equation by Dr. Frank Drake, DrakeEQ provides an elegant 3-D simulation of the Milky Way Galaxy and the number of computed intelligent civilizations it contains. DrakeEQ is an entertaining, fully interactive utility featuring our galaxy in motion.
The Drake equation states that: N = the number of civilizations in our galaxy with which communication might be possible
where: R* = the average rate of star formation in our galaxy fp = the fraction of those stars that have planets ne = the average number of planets that can potentially support life per star that has planets f? = the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop life at some point fi = the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop intelligent life fc = the fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space L = the length of time such civilizations release detectable signals into space.
