Shostak said, as much as 54 candidate planets is still a little to believe in the existence of life. However, he believes there are many more candidate planets. "All you need is not just 50, even more. But, the facts show that there are far more candidate planets there," he explained.
Although Earth-like planets may be very common, but it did not guarantee the existence of life on the planet. If there is any, may also not intelligent life. "Maybe there are also many lives, but very little smart beings who can communicate via radio transmitter," said Shostak.
Clearly, the findings of Kepler has helped astronomers to strengthen the Drake equation. The equation used by SETI to predict the possibility of communication with aliens. Drake equation based on 7 parameters, including the fraction of stars have planets and the fraction of planets that have the possibility to support life.
Shostak argued, could Kepler's findings directly affect the calculation with these equations. As a result, predictions can change
