That looks like an interesting article. I'll give it a read when I have some mroe time.

The article concludes... "..in our galaxy". But then, the
same study can apply to other galaxies out there - meaning,
that possibility of other intelligent life out there is quite
slim. All that, let alone having planet systems that can
support human life.

Statistically speaking, how many planets per galaxy do we know exist with intelligent life on them?

It seems to me that since intelligent life developed here, it could develop elsewhere too. I'm not sure we really know the probability of intelligent life developing, but I've heard of the Drake equation, where even with conservative estimates, the universe is so huge and there are so many planets and solar systems etc. that we haven't even discovered, that it seems there still could be a good chance that there is intelligent life somewhere else in the universe.

As far as I'm aware, we haven't proven there is life on any of the planets we've observed, but I also don't think we really have the technology to prove or disprove that right now just by observing the planets from here.

I'd say 0, there are far more galaxies that we don't know if there is life on their planets or not, than just ours :)

That's probably closer to the truth.

I just hope that if we ever find intelligent life, or if they find us that they are friendly!

Check out The Three Body Problem. One turn of phrase can
seemingly turn friendly contact with aliens into something
else.

I've wanted to read the books or see the series, it seems daunting to
get into it. Intriguing premise, though.

All seriousness aside, the answer is still 1 :)... So, statistically
speaking, one per galaxy (that we know of).

That doesn't make sense to me.. but then I didn't study statistics.

I think what he means is that we know our own planet has intelligent life, and it's the only planet in our galaxy where we can confirm it. So, that's one planet per galaxy so far that we know of. :)

life, and it's the only planet in our galaxy where we can confirm it.

That's pretty inaccurate though isn't it? there's far more that we don't
know..

The universe could be teeming with life, or completely barren except for
our planet, even our galaxy could be, but we don't know.

So by average, wouldn't it be closer to 0, but not quiet zero? for the
number of know planets with life in the universe?

Yes, and I think it was meant as a joke.. And the key phrase being "that we know of", as in, so far we just know of our planet.
