You speak as if there's possibly one or two alien species. But there are hundreds of billions of planets in the Milky Way. Even if life is 1 in a million, we should expect hundreds of millions of life bearing planets. The place should by rights be teeming. What are the odds that none of them want to explore and colonize? Is this an evolutionarily stable equilibrium we find ourselves in?
- sholladay 2y agoI think that, given the scale of time and planets that could potentially be habitable, there is a high likelihood for the existence of many alien species. What I take issue with is the notion that it should be surprising that we haven’t detected them. There are so many reasons why they could be right in plain sight, not even trying to hide themselves, while still going undetected. Those explanations are under appreciated in my opinion.
