@reekinronald6776 You make it sound like traveling for said periods of time wipe out civilizations, it doesnt. At the time scales of the universe we are talking about, a species spread across the entire galaxy if they were traveling at a large fraction of the speed of light. As there are stars and planets that are millions of years old that would have been able to support life at some point, said life now having a several million year head start on us, yet despite that we see literally nothing, not even faint signals.

It wouldnt matter if they were currently using radio technology or not because at some point an intelligent space faring civilization would have to discover and make use of radio waves. That's basically a given. And given how old the universe is and how long it takes life to develop to a certain level and how hypothetically possible life is, there would have been a LARGE number of civilizations millions of years ago that discovered radio waves, each civilization using radio waves at different points in time for a long time EACH. At least ONE of said civilizations radio waves would have had plenty of time to reach earth currently even on the other side of the galaxy.

With how old the universe is, if life was as likely as people theorize then there would have been multiple civilizations millions of years before us that started sending out signals millions of years in the past. At lease one of these signals would have reached us by now out of the numerous proposed species that would hypothetically exist.

Cant really call it probable given we don't have any solid evidence information as to the likely hood of life led alone intelligent life like us, as far as we know we are the only species out there. Even across the vast distances of space we would have notice the transmissions of at least one intelligent civilization of the past given the hypothesized probability of intelligent life and how old said life would be compared to us.

No matter how alien it is there are concepts that surpass simple species and cultural barriers. Theses concepts become even more prevalent the more advanced a species is.

No, doesn't matter what they look like as long as they are intelligent and conscious as that is logically the only way a species can become interstellar unless the laws of physics as we know them change. There are only so few ways nature can create to perceive the world, and the most important way that is necessary for a species to become interstellar is being able to perceive some part of the em spectrum. No species would be interstellar without pursuing technology so thats a given, and they wouldn't even need to attempt to contact other forms of life, simply the byproducts of them using some part of the electro magnetic spectrum would have reached earth by now. AS far as we know its not possible for life to exist in a gas giant, not for microscopic life to be intelligent or conscious. The difference of not know, and not being showed proof of something. So far we have absolutely 0 proof of life outside of earth. Not just intelligent life, ANY life, no traces, no signals.

I like to hope its possible but also hope we are alone

@moonie9000 You are the one making assumptions. We already know its possible to travel at a large percentage of the speed of light due to the mathematics of physics. What reason do you have to believe its not possible? We haven't destroyed ourselfs so what reason do you have to assume that all other races destroy themselves. Your view point requires much longer leaps in logic for justification than mine does not. If life was comparitivly easy to start it would be very much abundant even within our very own galaxy, to the point were there would be countless examples of life all throughout the galaxy throughout different time periods so the fact that we have seen ANYTHING to indicate that there is life outside of earth means we are more than likely alone and that life is something infitismally rare that requires nearly the entire universe for there to even be a chance of something like us coming into existence. There really is no in between, either life is INCREDIBLY common, "which we haven't seen" or life is near infinitely rare in which case we are the only things out here which is more likly.

@mrmuffer69 Again, you arent taking into account the vast time scales that exist. Even if a civilization could only travel at 0.1% the speed of light they would have colonized the entire galaxy in about 100 millions years, the universe being roughly 13 billion years old. And if life was common there would at all there would be billions different species through the history of said universe which we would have seen SOMETHING from by now. But we literally have seen nothing, not a single thing.

@moonie9000 Again this is a numbers and probability game. If life is likly at to the point we are not the only living things out here then life should be abundant in our galaxy alone let alone other galaxy's with said abundance you would have countless sentient species over the millions of years our galaxy has existed throughout its life span and at least ONE of them would have colonized a large part of the galaxy now if not more. The fact that we see evidence of literally nothing means that life is so infitismally rare that we are likely the only life in the entire universe. It either or, either life is likly to the point its every where, or life is so unlikly it took literally the entire universe a billion years just to make only us. There really is no in between. And so far it looks like the latter.
