The chances a highly advance civilization venturing into interstellar space and encountering another intelligent civilization that exists in the same time line....not even space-faring, are remote. I think there have been, are & will be, many intelligent civilizations out there....I just don't think we will ever cross paths before our time line ends. You are making a lot of assumptions here. Like I said we have a very limited perspective. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Fantasy 149 Posted 19 hours ago My own personal belief is I don’t think we are dealing with interstellar travel. But that’s just the theory I think is going on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Real timschochet 7,544 Posted 18 hours ago The aliens are out there but won’t make themselves known to us until we conquer the technology of light speed. Thats part of the Prime Directive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think we can agree that intelligent life developing, not just life....is not "common". Life surviving for 10's of millions of years & becoming intelligent enough for advanced space travel even less "common". I would consider life on this earth as "lucky" to have survived all of the catastrophic events that have befallen it up to this point. Barring all that....you still have to have 2 grains of sand from 2 different beaches on different sides of the solar system, wash up next to each other......I'm betting the under. The universe, given it's size, would need to be pretty well populated with civilizations existing at the same time as us for that to happen. Possible? Yes......nothing in the existence of anything could be more epic than 2 alien civilizations meeting......I just think the deck is stacked against it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We don't know how or why life grows and becomes sentient on a planet. We don't even know where consciousness comes from. It's hard to make many accurate assumptions about how the universe really works when we are still using hydrocarbons as the majority of our fuel source. We are not that advanced technologically. It only seems like we are because of how much more advanced than other species on this planet we are. Maybe a super advanced civilization could find us by using methods other than just happenstance.
