The reason we haven't found any other sapient lifeforms yet? It's because we're the FIRST, & the others are just getting started. We're going to be the ones everyone looks at as having mastery of reality bending powers & having unlocked all the secrets of the universe. How do you think humanity would cope with that kind of weight?

The universe is far to old for that to be the case honestly our species entire life span is like a nano second in the grand state of time.

But if that were the scenario hopefully we can advance far enough to establish a larger presence in our galaxy instead of ruins on our only planet.

Theres a story in Hindu mythology that humans came here (into this universe) from another universe that died/got extinguished. Pretty trippy stuff. One of the more interesting concepts in general though is omnipresence, which fits into with how time itself is an illusion.

I would wonder how that would be possible considering there are millions of species here on Earth that are older than us.

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.

Not really. Different solar systems/planets/stars are older than others and formed under varying circumstances. The universe is roughly 13 billion years old, while Earth is only 4 billion. Earth was ultimately formed from debris from the sun.

For all we know, there could be millions of highly advanced societies than have risen and fallen billions of years before us.

I think what he is saying is that the blast from the big bang should have evenly distributed everything in the universe.
But there's more at play than that.

Yeah, I get that. Theoretically it should have.

It boggles my mind what is out there. I'd really like to know...but I guess I should be satisfied with knowing things people 1,000 years ago didn't.

Probably a very low chance of that happening in this galaxy alone. Add 2 trillion other galaxies in the known Universe with 14 billion years and it's probably next to impossible we're the first.

We send out a ship but it's manned entirely by clones of Captain Kirk and Commander Riker.
