I read about that a little while ago. Blew me away.
It still boggles the mind!

I'm starting to think that we could very well be the only sentient life in the whole universe!

Large swaths of it are not all that "sentient."  I'm thinking the middle east and the American south.

The shit this planet went through just to get the variables in the right place at the right time boggle "my small mind" anyway!
And then the cooking starts   ....let simmer for a billion years, etc

Yeah, the Fermi paradox bubbles my brain too. I mean, the sheer overwhelming vastness of space with the innumerable galaxies, stars, planets... statistically, however complex, difficult or unlikely our arisal, it must have happened elsewhere in the universe. Right?

Somebody has to be first.

Additionally, the first planet that 'goes all the way' to a technological civilization capable of interstellar flight and an urge to colonize, 'wins' the galaxy.

"Sentient" does not mean "intelligent."  If you have a dog, even if it is particularly stupid for a dog, it is sentient.  Unless, of course, your dog is dead.
