It's never aliens (until it is).
Reality may be "boring" in that earth just may be super dooper lucky to have an accidental massive moon, a liquid iron core and a seasonal tilt to have made life. We also may be one of the first early conscious life in the universe (which would suck).
The really sad part is due to the laws of physics there is only a very limited bubble of time that we can ever see into the universe even if humans survive millions of years (unlikely).
- cgriswald 3y agoI tend to think that one of the better results it that we are early. I think, given the evidence, the only other good scenario is that we just don't know what we're seeing.
- colechristensen 3y agoMy guesses are that either new physics makes civilizations invisible to us once discovered or the much more mundane intelligent life develops along a path as to not care to be visible or do the kinds of things we could see. If individuals had billion year long lifespans, sightings might just be staggeringly rare.
