Honestly were probably all going at the same rate. Unless someone can correct me, if life can only exist from a planet like ours being a certain distance from a star - wouldnt the big bang send the amount of matter in motion to create everything at the same rate our solar system was created?

I probably worded that weird, but Im sure someone could answer it. Basically if life exists outside our solar system, it started at the same rate ours did. Unless of course you account for natural disasters (would the dinosaurs have been intelligent beings one day?), but then you have to account for whether if the amount of time lost from a species like the dinosaurs going to extinct or other sort of Ice Age periods is enough time for a species to invent intergalactic travel.

I get what you're saying, but we don't know enough about how life began here to really know that.

Edit: Also, Dark matter seems to have a lot to do with distribution of matter.
