Is the real reason why no alien life has contacted us is because

>>2644837
Because FTL travel is probably an impossibility. Humanity will never expand past the solar system.

>>2644837
aliens do not exist

>>2644837
>>2645014
The universe is simply too big idiots.

They do exist, but we will never encounter them.

>>2644837
They don't contact us because they don't want to disturb one of the last planets with indigenous cultures.

>>2644837
They don't come to earth because it's a shitty backwater planet dominated by below average Intelligence monkies who fight constantly

Do you think there are some humanaboos out there?

We are alone

More than likely, galaxy is full of alien life, from there, its incredibly rare for a species to achieve upper bounds of organic intelligence. In pursuit for higher intelligence, the advanced aliens may have created robots/AI. While their species may have died off, their robotic offsprings might have survived in the space.

Chances are if there's any aliens, it would be robotic in nature. With high mass becoming incredibly difficult to travel at light speed, they could simply have made micro robots to explore the universe. (Protip: Some Russian billioniare is funding a project to send 1000 tiny spaceships to Alpha centauri using lasers as propulsion and traveling at 20% speed of light. It would reach that star system in ~20 years and about 4 year communication lag in between the arrival and notification)

Now consider the possibility that our life on the planet earth might very well be due to ancient alien microrobot. The building blocks of DNA/RNA, the amino acids themselves might be remnants of those technologies.

>Murchison meteorite
The small meteorite contained 70 different amino acids, with possible 50,000 or more different unique molecular structures. Possibly accounting for roughly a million different/distinct types of organic compounds.

These types of meteorite may very well be common in our very solar system.

Perhaps we are the first.

Are we alone because we are the first or because everyone is dead?

>>2645244
Our origin species are dead.

>>2644837
It's just that the universe is so large.
If we make it off this rock, we're pretty much bound to live for billions of years more, though we won't really be "humans" anymore. Eventually, we'll find other life, and long after that, we'll find intelligent life. We'll likely have long since lived with strange creatures of our own creation, by this point, though.

>>2644837
it's a theory
