      I find it so strange that anyone thinks humans could be "alone in the universe." The universe is vast. There are clearly tons of aliens. And if they're developing technology at a similar pace to us, then we're probably all about to meet each other soon. It's going to be bizarre.

      Even if the universe were teaming with technological advanced species, there's still the reality that you can't travel faster than light, which means for all intents & purposes we might as well be alone in the universe. There's no effect way to meet ET.

          And even if something were capable of traveling to meet us, they'd be so technologically superior to us we would be below the level of an insect to them in terms of intellectual comparisons

          The idea that any intelligent life could build spaceships that could hold up for millions of years is pretty ludicrous.

          something with constant acceleration like an ion drive, laser/sail, etc could achieve a significant portion of the speed of light and, with time dilation effects of relativistic travel, make it there in human lifetimes, theoretically, as long as they're ok with a one way trip.

          I read “Ender in Exile” and “Speaker for the Dead” this year, and the effects of relativistic travel make for fascinating chronologies.
