Out of all the planets in the Milky Way that contain life there

because based on projections if even 1 civilization went space age and began colonizing, assuming they got a headstart of just 10,000 years on us, they should be all over the place and we should be detecting radio signals from their vast empire

the fact it's completely quiet out there is spooky, to say the least. it implies we're the only ones because the odds of finding a race at our exact level of technological advancement is miniscule.

Can someone who is smarter than me chime in and answer this: if a civilization on one edge of the galaxy could broadcast a radio signal strong enough that it would reach earth, would we even be able to recognize it as something not natural? or would it be so degraded it would be indistinguishable from the rest of the noise in the universe?

It happened once with the Wow signal and we dismissed it like a natural occurrence.
We are never leaving this rock I can tell you that much.

Why the shit would aliens transmit a powerful radio signal for just a couple minutes, if it was a deliberate attempt at an alien intelligence "lighthouse".

if it was we should be getting a steady or preditable signal from the same point in space.

It was probably something else.

My guess is it was sent in the wrong direction or we picked up piece of some transmission.
I guess we will never know
