Nomads of the Galaxy: What Does It Mean to Have Quadrillions of Planets Adrift in Milky Way?

—

ScienceDaily (May 23, 2012) — Recently, a study was published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society proposing planets simply adrift in space may be something of a common phenomenon. Aptly titled “Nomads of the Galaxy,” the authors proposed an upper limit to the number of nomad planets that might exist in the Milky Way Galaxy: 100,000 for every star. And because the Milky Way is estimated to have 200 to 400 billion stars, that could put the number of nomad planets in the quadrillions.

If this proposal is correct, it could be that nomad planets play a dynamic role in the universe. In particular, if life can exist without the warmth of a nearby sun, it raises the possibility that, along with sustaining life, nomad planets could be transporting it as well.

While just an idea, it’s one that becomes more intriguing when considering not only the number of nomad planets, but the behavior of galaxies.

My heartbeat is always weakening me
I can’t find the strength within me
So if I go don’t say I didn’t see it coming
Sad song, you got me humming right along
Never wanted a part of this
But you signed me up first on the list
I’m scared but it can’t show
I’m a storm while you’re sleeping but you don’t know
Not a shake, not a stir in your god damn bones
There’s rain drops on your window
And I see nothing much
Lack of visual, lack of touch
Now smoke fills the air
Serves as my crutch
And I never felt so fucked
