However, based on the odds of RNA formation, life is likely very rare and will be near impossible for us to actually find.
The work was published in the Nature journal Scientific Reports.

The question of whether or not Earth is the only place where life exists in the universe remains unanswered and, according to a new research paper, it may remain unanswered forever, as far as the human race is concerned. As astronomers and mathematicians have expanded their understanding of the universe and provided new insights and theories as to its size and expansion, we’re beginning to understand why it’s so hard to find other intelligent life, and why it (probably) still hasn’t found us.

While many studies have focused on the likelihood of life taking root on other worlds based on factors like the ratio of habitable planets or the number of planets orbiting certain types of stars, this one is a bit different. The research revolves around how RNA — ribonucleic acid, vital to life as we know it — forms, self-replicates, and eventually results in complex life.
