The chances of intelligent life emerging in our Universe – and in any hypothetical ones beyond it – can be estimated by a new theoretical model which has echoes of the famous Drake Equation.

As demonstrated by the balloon model, the space-time “fabric” is what is expanding, and the material embedded within it — namely galaxies — moves apart in response to this expansion.
