The fact is that scientists haven't come with a conclusion about this , and it was received 41 years ago. Soo it may very well be alien life wich is not a taboo , in my eyes they have a 50% chance to exist.
If we're setting odds on the existence of aliens they're probably quite a bit higher than that..even as the odds of human beings having ever come into contact with that life approach a null value. The difference between existence and contact as propositions is as vast as the space between hypothetical life.
It's a depressing thought, really. We may be living in a universe teeming with life that will never make contact with other life. Just a bunch of lonely drifters.
I sayed 50% because I divided it into 2 options:
1. That the universe is still young ( 13 billions but for eternity how much doest that mean ) and other higlly intelligent forms of life haven't developed.
2. They exist but are that tehnolgically evolved to make contact and neither are us .
Of course there are many possibilities but I'll stick to that in the matter of existence or better not yet existing( we can't say that alien life won't occur).
And if the multiverse theory is provided I think that the probability is 1.
