No ET! Ever?

I have often wondered about this myself. Needless to say I think the odds of us being alone are nil. The real question is will we ever meet them?
To us the universe seems huge. But even a house with a small yard seems huge to a toddler. Would the universe really be so huge to a people that had eons to figure out to traverse its vastness? Sent from my LG-D852 using Tapatalk
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. 
Ok so my undersranding us that intelligence evolved in our ancestors as a response to climate change (rainforrest to savannah). I don't see climate change as all that rare an event.
On the state of possible life on other bodies in the Solar System, there are 4 main candidates; Mars, Europa, Ganymede and Titan. Mars has lost the bulk of its atmosphere and oceans leaving whater is left to bury itself in the ground. Europa and Ganymede are icebound oceans similar to the Earth in the Cryogenian period which would tend to indicate that life would be unicellular. Titan is exceptionally cold and thus likely rather slow in developing.

The problem with that claim there is billions of stars planets etc to say were the only one is quite absurd. If there is other life out there we wouldn't know because of the light were getting from distant starts, moons, planets etc are millions to billions year old so we don't exactly have a updated picture of those said planets. Then the other side of it we could be the first advanced life forms and well the only one which is depressing.

Current issue of Scientific American has a discouraging article on radiation effects on the brain. The implication being long duration space flight may not be feasible due to brain damage from cosmic radiation.
Might be another reply to Fermi as to why they ain't here, interstellar flight isn't feasible for organic brains. Even long flights around the solar system might be iffy at best. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Surely if we're building an interstellar ship, we can afford to bring a few inches of lead?

To be honest, there is no evidence of other intelligent life anywhere except upon the planet where we currently reside.
Therefore, it is perfectly logical to make the appropriate assumption.

You mean the specie that put trump on charge of over half of its nuclear arsenal is intelligent? Oh, never mind, you meant the cockroaches. |
