    If that's what it takes to approach your level, I guess I've got some shopping to do.
    Thanks.

    The thought about life on other planets in terms of time boggles the mind...

    Earth is 4 billion years old and we've been able to really look for life for how long? 100 out of 4 billion years? Seems like a fraction of time impossibly small.
    What if another planet had a late start and was 500 million years behind? There's no way they would be sending radio signals to look for for waaaayyyy long after we're long gone.

    On the other hand how can you imagine life and technology of a civilization that might exists 1 billion years ahead of us... they might be so advanced to not care about us. it is mind blowing.

    as I’ve stated in previous a thread. We are already cyborgs. Given the rate of technological development it’s highly doubtful that any advanced life form would exist as a purely biological species . If they do make contact with us it isn’t going to be little green men.

    Here's your so=called Fermi Paradox:

    Suppose there's an alien civilization out there listening for the electromagnetic radiation we've been blasting to the cosmos ever since Marconi (??) invented the radio in 1896.

    We've been analogous to those obnoxious assholes blasting our shitty music to the cosmological 'hood for 126 years. That's a sphere 252 light years in diameter.

    252 light years is fuckin YUUUUUGE in human terms, but it's fuckin tiny in cosmological terms.

    Check it.

    There's what 200 light years looks like to the entire Milky Way galaxy. Those stars on the other side of the galaxy, if they have telescopes that can (could?) see across the 100,000 light years and even see what's going on on the third insignificant rock from the insignificant yellow start we call the Sun would see some people who had barely figured out flint knapping and fire.

    Where is everybody? Everywhere. We just can't hear each other.

    Don't even bother trying to see what's going on in even the closest exogalaxies.

    Didn't Carl Sagan say something along the lines of "The only thing more frightening than finding intelligent life in the universe is finding out that we're the only intelligent life in the universe."?

    I find that less frightening. If we are, then there’s reason to believe the universe is here for US. the implications of that are astounding.
