Kurumi had kind of been zoning in and out during the discussion. Perhaps it was due to the injuries from the fire? Her head had been whacked against the wall rather hard and it would be naive to think that she was perfectly fine after a mere few days.

Kurumi looked at the board, and then back at her notes, and back to the board again. She heard another student mention that the equation was kind of worthless. Kurumi hadn't thought so, until she really looked at what each letter in the equation meant. "So...this equation essentially gives us, human beings, a number value that represents hope of us not being alone in the universe," she said aloud, not really to anyone in particular, but to whoever would listen. "It merely calculates a large number of probabilities...I personally don't even think that a majority of these factors can even be estimated." She cocked her head to the side and squinted at her paper for a moment. "I am not sure this equation was ever meant to be used for actual results, since results can vary so much based on speculation. Seems to be more of a means of getting the discussion about other life in the universe started."

Kurumi frowned and tickled her nose with her quill. "Doesn't this equation also come with the disclaimer that the planets being thought about are Earth-like planets," she continued as she tickled her nose a bit more. "I don't feel like this equation ACTUALLY gives us an answer. The answer lies more in the thought process and questions that arise when trying to calculate it." She was kind of repeating herself, but the second time around she felt she had stated things a little more clearly.

"So, the equation was essentially a beacon of hope that we are not along in the universe...it's more of an enigma than anything else."

She set her quill down and leaned back in her seat. Could they PLEASE learn about constellations now?
