Re: I chose not to use the word probable
In terms of inteliegent life elsewhere in our galaxy, I remeber reading an article in SciAm where they discussed the possibiltiy of a civilization that collonized other planets. Even if each new colony took, on average, 1000 years before it was able to send out the next set of pioneers the entire galaxy could be "populated" in a few milion years, not that long evolutionarly speaking.
​
Really? Wow. That's some pretty solid evidence for there not being any other intelligent life on our galaxy.

Re: Well I dunno.
If there were colonizers out there planet hopping, you'd have to assume a world like our own, which already supports life, would be very desireable to them........so I don't think they'd just be lying in wait nearby simply because they're uninterested in us.

Re: Thats not the point
But, odds are, they'd be able to detect us without us sending radio signals........not to mention that if they were crawling all over the place, why haven't we detected THEM?
