论文摘要
探索宇宙是人类的统一主题之一。这项工作的一部分是寻找外星人的生活。但是，我们会找到生命的可能性有多大，或者如果我们这样做的话将与我们自己相似？因此，我们如何知道在哪里以及如何外观？我们举例说明了用于缩小和集中搜索的推理的示例，我们认为对该逻辑框架的明显扩展将导致更大的成功。
Exploring the Universe is one of the great unifying themes of humanity. Part of this endeavour is the search for extraterrestrial life. But how likely is it that we will find life, or that if we do it will be similar to ourselves? And therefore how do we know where and how to look? We give examples of the sort of reasoning that has been used to narrow and focus this search and we argue that obvious extensions to that logical framework will result in greater success.
