Are we really alone in the universe?

[IndVet]

Interesting study suggests the answer is, that we're early.

If beings are advanced enough to travel to us they are smart enough not to make contact.

I have not read the link yet.

Aliens are already here. Some even participate on OSA.

I also haven't read 'all' of the link. Just enough to see that I wasn't really interested.

First one to say: 'There's one in the White House already!' I agree he is an alien, just the illegal kind from Kenya.

They are already here.
Just go sit on the park bench at the local Wally World.
You'll see all kinds of Klingons, Romulans, Feringi maybe even a Tribble or two.

What? None of you has seen Men in Black?

If you consider the vast distances involved, it's no surprise we haven't found anything yet. Even the evidence of our existence in the form of radio waves has only traveled around 100 light years from earth. Plus these early signals would be weak and not in all directions. If an alien civilization had a telescope powerful enough to observe the earth from 65 million light years away, they would only observe dinosaurs. And we are in an entirely different location far, far away in space now as opposed to then. Every star you see in the sky is in varying degrees of the past.

I seriously believe we are not the only beings in the universe.

We are not alone!

Maybe when we find our way to the Intergalactic Union Diner out there at the corner of No and Where, the other galactic races will figure we've advanced and are mature enough to let us know they exist too. Otherwise, like all smart, mature adults, they know enough not to interfere with the process of natural selection.
