I’m growing more and more sure in my belief that the universe is teaming with life, much of it intelligent and for some reason we just haven’t encountered it yet.
The reason why I believe this is earth has so much life — that started as soon as it could — that I find it difficult to believe that life didn’t pop up in the universe the moment it cooled down enough for it to happen.
This leads to the age old question — where is everybody?
There are a huge number of potential solutions. One solution is that we’re in some sort of Matrix situation and we’re all living in a vat and the universe we’re seeing isn’t the real one. Why this might be the case is best left to science fiction.
Another possible solution is there’s a very well established galactic order of some sort that that simply isn’t all that interested in us right now. They know about us, probably are monitoring closely but are waiting for us to meet some metric before introducing themselves.
