I don't think you really know how large our galaxy is, let alone the universe. Think about it this way. The reason why we haven't found INTELAGENT life is because transmitting a signal of any type is below the speed of light, and light speed travels 299,792,458 meters per second in space. Now when people talk about light years, they are talking about the time it takes to travel from point A to point B with in a year traveling light speed. The nearest system is the Alpha Centaury which is 4.2421 light years away (Give or take.) Now they say there is a planet in the system that could support life, but life doesn't always mean intelligent life. I have stated before that life doesn't favor intelligence, life favors what ever survives best. So just because you might find some form of intelligent life doesn't mean it will continue to exist. That form of life could very well go extinct for many reasons and some thing else that is less intelligent will come out on top because it was able to adapt faster. When people think life on other planets most jumps to the conclusion that they are hyper advanced which is really dumb if you ask me. Say like finding any form of life is about 5,000 to 1. Finding intelligent life is more like 100,000 to 1. (All just a ruff estimate) Not to mention we are on the outer arm of our galaxy, we are in the middle of no where. Our galaxy is proximately 100,000 light years across, and 3,000 light years thick. The Milky Way galaxy ruffly holds up to 400 Billion stars, not counting planets. Thats a rather big neighborhood if you ask me and to say that we are the only ones with the lights on is kind of ignorent. Pluss, just because the lights are not on doesnt mean no body is home.
