Current Events > A good explanation for why Earthlings haven't discovered E.T.s yet?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I agree with this because everything in the universe has an ultimate speed limit - nothing can travel faster that this (light, matter, energy, information, etc.) There could be something like wormholes or Alcubierre Drives but I'm tempted to believe such civilizations that could harness these technologies would be very few are far between (assuming such methods exist.)

Cosmic Background radiation deter these highly intelectual being from ever visiting earth!

Not trolling, I firmly believe other alien life has discovered us, observed us, how vile we are and were pretty much like "Naw, fuck this" and had no interest in first contact.

Look at humans as a whole and tell me if you are another race of alien, would you be in a hurry to come to earth and be among us? We are a horrible species. I'm entirely convinced we would be viewed as a race of cockroaches to a higher, intelligent being.

^ reminds of the They're Made Out of Meat short story:

The two characters are intelligent beings capable of traveling faster than light, on a mission to "contact, welcome and log in any and all sentient races or multibeings in this quadrant of the Universe." Bisson's stage directions represent them as "two lights moving like fireflies among the stars" on a projection screen. One of them tells the incredulous other about the recent discovery of carbon-based lifeforms "made up entirely of meat". After conversing briefly about it, they both deem such beings and communication with them too bizarre and agree to "erase the records and forget the whole thing", marking the Solar System "unoccupied".[5]

This is what I feel is the most logical explanation. Any UFOs that are seen are probably just black budget tech.

Anything could be possible though. Especially if you consider the possibility of a species having billions of years of evolution on us. Maybe they've been here before. Maybe they never left. Maybe they're inter or extra dimensional beings. Maybe they are us, but from the future (sounds lol-worthy but it's a plausible theory according to one model of space travel). Maybe we're in an alien simulation right now. There's so many things to contemplate or imagine.

Our understanding of physics could also be totally wrong or we could have major holes in it. Like how we use dark matter and dark energy to explain the vast majority of the universe which isn't observable to us.

i doubt life is so special that it only exist on earth, i'm guessing ETs are too far away or too primitive (like they're still in bacteria or small creature state)

I really don't get this mindset. Even if they were more advanced, they would likely have started out the same as us.

Maybe there have been civilizations on other planets, but their suns exploded, or an asteroid hit them, or their planet lacked the resources to sustain them before they could leave the galaxy.

What if were the last backwater island in a post-apocalyptic sea of dead empires?

I think it's closer to Mass Effect. There's a whole galactic civilisation out there but we are too primitive because we haven't started exploring space yet so they observe us.
