What would be the effect of doubling the rate of star formation, R, on the results of the Drake equation?
Drake equation: N = R × ƒp × ne × ƒl × ƒi × ƒc × L
AThere would be no difference in the results.
BThere would be half as many extraterrestrial civilizations.
CThere would be twice as many extraterrestrial civilizations.
DThere would be four times as many extraterrestrial civilizations.
