What if we began a 'seeding' experiment, suppose there could be more life but isn't because life doesn't spread well in the vacuum of space. What if we began sending bacteria and other micro-organisms to potentially habitable planets via tiny spacecrafts. If we were to seed as many planets as we could possibly find, then eventually (in a million years or so), this entire galaxy could be teaming with life and the fermi paradox will be refuted as there will be no way not to see the life that is out there. We may still not be able to traverse the stars by that time at least not without generation ships but our descendents could at least wave from afar and maybe communicate across vast distances with intelligent life that we today helped seed/create.
