To make it more sci-fi: We have only found such thing in one planet in the whole galaxy, maybe universe.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

That's not saying much, since we have only observed roughly 0.0000001% of our galaxy's planets. For all we know there are more planets with trees than without.

I know you probably just typed a random small number, but you’re gunna need at least 10 more zeros to be close. Absolutely mind boggling

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I figured it was enough zeros to drive the point.

Noooooooooope

I mean, it wouldn't have been surprising if you said universe, bur in our Galaxy?! That's crazy, when does a planet count as observed?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Since we are talking about trees, I would say when we are able to tell if a planet has trees or not.

Lol, fair enough. I got zero clue how we'd find that out efficiently.
