I still want to believe were not alone, but theres some interesting ideas to consider in here. For example, we tend to think of the universe as this very old thing which therefor should be full of life by now. But it turns out the universe is actually really young. With 20 trillion years of star generation ahead, the universe has only covered 13.7 billion years or roughly .07% of its life span. Compare this to a person who expects to live 70 years, and you’d get .07% * 70 years = roughly 18 days. So in human terms the universe is a three week old baby. No wonder there’s not too much life out there yet. While it might seem ego-centric to think were the first intelligent life to emerge in the universe, it could also just as well be said that its wishful thinking to assume that were not.
