We might be alone and there might be life elsewhere. The idea that we haven't been visited doesn't prove anything. That's all as I need to know.

though, as per my last post in this thread, how do we know we haven't been visited? We are only going on humans' interpretation of 'intelligence'
we (generally) assume other intelligent life would be in what we know as humanoid/animal form, and our interpretation of life/intelligence. The sheer scale of the universe and almost limitless possibilities that a universe that size possesses means (imo anyway, though I've not got around to putting out thesis and papers etc) we really could be the ants in an elephant's consciousness.
Then again, we very well could be the elephants, and the rest of the universe comprises of ants.
