I suspect the answer lies in different dimensions myself.

It's one answer to the Fermi paradox of why we don't see evidence of civilisations in the cosmos....apart from the fact that life is reasonably rare.

At some stage all advanced civilisations discover extra dimensions and exploit them hence disappearing from this one.....or we could be seeing ourselves from the future visiting the past.

Who the feck knows....it's an endless and enjoyable topic of speculation.

Are you quoting somebody here? Is this what you believe?

My last line tells you.

It's one of the available solutions to the fermi paradox.

I don't tend to believe things that can't be demonstrated in some way. So, what is being discussed here is strictly within the speculation context.

Of the solutions to the paradox I'd put it in my top five and it's probably one of the more hopeful ones.

I dont understand half of this but my vocabulary has risen greatly. I think there must be ET out there somewhere. We are in the goldilocks zone from our star and there are more stars than grains of sand on earth so there has to be other planets with sensible life on it. Evolution isnt selective to our planet surely.

And it isn't selective enough on our planet. Matthew Kelly, for example.

I think they are incredibly small or incredibly huge. We either can't see them as they are so small or we are so small they can't see us and we are a bit like a harmless virus inside them so we can't see them.

It's almost certain that lower forms of life survive on planets around other stars....bacteria, microbes...maybe even Piers Morgan.

However, most other stars are not as mild mannered as ours and that high activity along with lots of other factors even if you have the goldilocks zone...factors like iron core magnetism to protect the atmosphere from the solar wind, pressure, rotation speed, wind speed, the atmospheric and earth composition....lots of factors pool together to mostly make life much more unlikely than likely in significant forms.

Primitive life is much more likely than the kind of development time needed for intelligent life.....hell, the change from single cell to multi cell seems so unlikely that it could be in of itself very rare.....making intelligent life even more unlikely.....remember Earth has been around for four billion years and gone through many extinctions before mammals and then eventually we turned up......the talented ape.

However, if we take the high probability that intelligent life turns up many many times in a universe of such unimaginable size you have many other factors that could get in the way of us ever knowing about it.

But up to now, we at least can't say we have proof of any intelligent life having reached the stage where they have made a detectable difference to any solar system that we observe with our current technologies......a couple of interesting systems is all we have....well and the 'Wow' signal.

Personally I think we will eventually find something as our technology improves.....but once again, it's all speculation.....that is if you go with the premise that all advanced civilisations don't destroy themselves or discover and hide within other dimensions or that we are the first.

My mind was completely blown when I found out just how much smaller the Planck length was from our ability to detect the smallest sizes.

There is so much more that humanity has left to learn.

Surely we can detect a bit of 4 by 2 by now.

It'd be preferable to detect a 7 of 9,,,,but only if she was the nineties version.

What we can actually see and try to understand bearing its position in the universe is a pinprick on a football pitch. The age of the universe is still a bit of a guess I reckon. Those professionals involved must be so head f***ed. It does mine in thinking about it periodically so 24/7 it's got to send you mad.

The existence of life in our Galaxy is not in question. The important one is whether it is possible to do interstellar travel within the laws of physics, in a way that allows for practical visits to other solar systems. Since we have absolutely no information about the nature of extraterrestrial life or it's technology or a total grasp of physics, that question is impossible to answer.
The only people who might know are those who have kept such visits secret from the public or work on back engineered alien technology without even realising it.

It's easy to dismiss this stuff when faced with the deluge of nuttery you see on TV but it's not so easy to explain many WW2 pilots seeing 'foo fighters' or dozens of navy personal seeing underwater UFOs or pilots describing craft that can fly at incredible speeds and turn at right angles sometimes with radar confirmation and on at least one occasion, on film. There is a ton of stuff that has no explanation at all other than the conclusion that no one wants to accept.

Watch the skies.
