What is the probability that there is civilization elsewhere

39/331

About 50%

if we assume there's another civ at the opposite side of where we are then it takes 200,000 years for us to communicate. That doesn't mean it's impossible just really difficult.

a civilization could develop ftl and beat the reply message to its destination in that time frame.

>>8150421
lets start with life and maybe think of civ.

>>8150421
There are, but we will never be able to contact them nor they contact us within an acceptable time frame (before either civilization dies). More than likely we receive 1000s of alien communications all the time, we just don't know it because of extreme attenuation and interference.

>>8150425
Impossible, unless you start communicating via star explosions.

>ftl

Nothing passed 10% of C will ever be viable.

-1/12%

About 50/50, either it exists or it doesn't.

Opposite side of what? The universe? Gonna be a couple of orders magnitude longer to communicate

This. They're either too far or they're not.
