fi (intelligent life) if it includes Earth or not = 0
So N is zero.
Well combine that with the Mayan calendar predicting the end of times as 12/21/12 and it would appear that we don't have to worry about paying all these bills and taxes we've amassed.

Nope, I don't think so -- because even assuming the Drake equation is accurate, which is only an assumption, there are 2 factors the Drake equation doesn't take into account: first it makes assumptions according to the amount of knowledge/technology we currently have. There is no way to know what will be discovered in the future that will significantly alter our ability to explore space. And second, the number of stars is virtually infinite, including not only all the stars that currently exist but also all of the new stars (some of which will have planets that could support life) that will continue to be created in the future. . . FOREVER
Actually the Drake equation takes into account the technology level where possible but is based on what chance we have of contacting another civilization at the current time
Also assuming that you believe the "Big Bang" theory of universal evolution there are not an infinite number of stars and they will not always be produced - The "Big Bang" universe has a beginning, continues for a time and then ends
okay i have a theory that the sun will burn out and implode creating a black hole and our whole universe ( milky way ) gets sucked in and we eventually die because of no sun or something.
I'm not sure though that stars create a black- hole?? i only know that planets do if they implode ??
and 2012 i don't think will happen because people just got hyped over the movie :P

Theory...a word to put the face of reason on imagination. As superstitions are without foundations, theories have foundations of clay.
