    Could be, but I don't think we'll ever meet them!

    I think there is because I can't see out of all the planets in the universe, were the only one to have life on it.

    There are 400 billion stars in our galaxy and over half of those stars are Accompanied by planets/planet, our galaxy is only one of billions of galaxy's in our universe, and our universe might not be the only universe out there.

    Part of me dies inside, when people say cold heartedly:"there isn't life out there" because with those numbers its impossible that there isn't intelligent life out there. And drakes equation suggest that our milky way has multiple intelligent life forms. (if somebody asks:"why haven't they visited us" I might just kill my self BTW)

    It is an inevitability that there either has been, is, or will be other (intelligent) life in the universe besides humans. Whether two of those species will ever meet is a completely different question, though. If the universe will exist for eternity, there probably will be a time where they will.

    I'm convinced that there is life somewhere but I'm not sure if there is intelligent life.

    The important question is not if they are out there, but if they are asking the same question right now. Wondering if they are alone while we sit here on our asses hoping to catch a glimpse. They are out there, but I doubt they are highly advanced enough to visit us yet.

    I don't mind. By the way, it isn't inevitable that there was, is, or is going to be intelligent life, nor is it impossible that there isn't any.

    That probably depends on the full size of the universe, its age and its maximum age. Of course, there's still a minimal chance life won't appear anywhere else, let alone intelligent life, but I do believe it's much more likely that there either was, is, or will be other intelligent life than humans being the only ones.

    Well, as far as civilizations meeting at what not, in the future, we could build a robot, send it to the moon and build a factory to produce more robots, send them to another moon, build more a base and more robots there, send those two other moons, etc.


    I probably explained that terribly.

    Yes, yes you did. I don't see what robots have to do with intelligent life, other than needing intelligent life to exist.

    Wait, never mind, I forgot to read a word somewhere. Anyway, that would take ridiculous amounts of time and resources, and will probably end up going terribly wrong at some point.

    Gotta love them statistics and probability maths. Now, I haven't read the entire article, but it doesn't seem to take a lot of things into account. I do get the overall point, though.
