    In truth, this drake equation might seem like it gives us reasonable calculations of the civilization out the in the universe but this is a very flawed equation. In one way that this equation is flawed is that there is not an exact definition as to what constitutes as “intelligent”, such as that there are many forms of intelligence and we as humans might just not be aware of those kinds of intelligences out there in the universe.
