It's almost impossible that there's no other lifeforms the problem is that we see these solar systems billions of year in the past, so we will never know. Plus we have an event horizon around us at all time where the distance is too far that we will never be able to reach those objects because the expansion of space. Even with light speed you will never be able to reach those places

So far we've found about 5000 exoplanets and about 50 or so are potentially habitable
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_potentially_habitable_exoplanets
And apparently there's 11 billion potentially habitable Earth-sized planets in the Milky Way. If say the chance of other life is extremely high. The chance of intelligent life though, who knows. They would likely have needed to discover fire which takes a certain environment and anatomy and level of intelligence that seems really rare

With enough processing power, it's irrelevant. You can see beyond the cosmic event horizon by modelling everything around you forward in time. As for alternate forms of life, enough processing power and you can render everything that could exist, create useful variations of those lifeforms, and then make them IRL

>Argh! Well, I've gone and busted my knee open. I suppose the Codex is in Mahad's hands by now, and this place is about to be buried, like everywhere else. (chuckles) I remember telling my college professor I wanted to study xenoarcheology. He laughed right in my face. "There's nothing to study," he said. "It's all dead space. No alien life exists out in the universe." In a way, I guess he was right. There is no life beyond our system, only a trail of extinction, wrought by the Moons. And now it's right on our doorstep. Well, above us lies the means of turning off the Machine, but also the means to complete it. Turning it off will finish our species, completing it will save us. I had hoped to be here to witness the saving part. It would have been spectacular to witness the Moon getting pulled into the planet and crushed to oblivion - a final act by the natives - a sacrifice to save us all. But now, I must rest. Perhaps Tim will be along soon with the Codex.

Shit posts aside, this is actually an interesting paper:

>When the model is recast to represent realistic distributions of uncertainty, we find a substantial ex ante probability of there being no other intelligent life in our observable universe, and thus that there should be little surprise when we fail to detect any signs of it.

To assert that the only intelligent life in the entire universe is human and on planet Earth is the modern equivalent of the claim by ancient scientists that planet Earth is at the center of the universe.

Not an assert, just that it's statistically probable that we're alone in the observable universe and an almost certainty that we're alone in this galaxy. Could it be wrong? Sure, it's statistics, and all it trying to do is resolve the paradox between the seemingly abundant chance of life and the observed lack of life. Tomorrow aliens could land on the white house and that would up end the conclusions.

I think the implication is that civs would surely be detectable. this is discounting solutions where it would collapse in one unit/individual thing. could exist/move through universe in silent ways that we don't yet understand.
we don't know what we don't know, keep that in mind with various current_year studies.

Sure, you can make up all kinds of reasons why we can't detect anything. And again, that analysis could be up ended tomorrow. But honestly it seems more likely to me that we really are the only (intelligent) life in at least the galaxy.

they could also be silent for their own protection as well, but overall I don't see the silence as high chances we're the first.

the earth doesn't have to be the center of the universe to be the only place in the observable universe with life.
life can be so statistically rare that the set of all planets with life has a measure of 0.

You only need one - we have no way of detecting life on other planets, hell we can't even send signals to the other side of the planet without extensive relay systems, you really think we can tell if there are frogs or ungabungas 50 billion lightyears away?

I did, I don't think I saw any mention of the communicative capabilities between lifeforms, just another generalized assumption that since we aren't capable of finding anyone they don't exist, completely ignoring that we aren't even past the primitive ape stage of our evolution and technological advancements, on a cosmic scale we're still just banging sticks together, the shit news is that so is everyone else, it is virtually impossible for you to communicate with someone a million lightyears away let alone know that they even exist, to any other lifeform out there Earth, if they even know this planet exists, is just another barren rock.
