I think it's pretty obvious that we aren't alone in the Universe but the odds of us running across intelligent alien life are slim. I think they exist but doubtful that either one of us can actually travel to the other solar system.

And this here is the significant problem. If humans were to completely die out in, let's just say 5,000 more years -- that'd mean that modern humans as we know it have existed for about 20,000 years. And modern as a means of agriculture and sharing ideas, not hunter gatherers.

The universe as we know it has existed for a little over a dozen billion years, which means that our race would have died 700,000 times.

Which means that super intelligent forms of life could have existed and died hundreds of thousands of times over, or that we will die before they even begin.

It's a cold fricking universe, and I really hope we can achieve a level of being able to survive galactic catastrophe to keep our race alive and eventually dominate reality.

'Cause Jesus told meh.
