Okay. So that does make sense but why do we not have aliens in the other planets of our very own solar system that are as much or more older than our own little earth? Shouldn't life have developed in those planets in such a manner so as to survive in that particular environmental condition? Food for thought.
And which of those have we visited to know? The process certainly does not work according to any kind of schedule. We paragons of development as you seem to think of us have only been sending out radio messages for just over 100 years. Prior to that we were doing nothing to advertise our existence. What you are insisting upon is another world which has also developed the exact the same kind of technological society which we have now and which is capable of broadcasting and receiving radio/tv waves into space and also which gives enough of a shit to be listening. You have too many parameters there.
