- Stand by for an animated exploration of the famous Fermi Paradox. Given the vast number of planets in the universe, many much older than Earth, why haven't we yet seen obvious signs of alien life? The potential answers to this question are numerous and intriguing, alarming and hopeful.

“Saying there is no life in the universe because we haven’t found any evidence is like going to the beach and scooping up a glass full of water, and saying ‘there are no whales in this ocean’”-Niel DeGrasse Tyson
True. The problem with us humans is that we think that we know everything about the universe but we can't even explore our own solar system. I'm expecting something beyond we know now. And i hope we'll get there.
Problem with that is we know for fact there are whales in our oceans because we seen them. Not a very intellectual fellow.
Nohuddle that's because we live in human distances and lifetimes on a small Earth. And It still took thousands of years for humans to discover whales exist until we moved near oceans. Apply that to Space and its hundreds of thousands or millions of times greater in time and distance.
NoHuddleNoMercy it’s a metaphor jackass. Yes we know there are whales but he was putting it in layman’s terms to make the idea of the size of the universe more understandable.
Not to mention at one point in our past we didn’t know whales existed. But exploring the oceans enough we found them

Then there is a Creator...
Yes there comes. God

Yeah what if we're just an experiment in some random entity's fish tank, one of many waiting to be sold at it's garage sale.
we can think anything but none leads to sure conclusion may be it is what it are
Ryan Stallings I'm sure they have advanced telescopes that can scan planet's in a minute so they should notice us or some structures.
We still haven't found intelligent life, even here on Earth.

We're violent, destructive and territorial. I would keep my distance if I were an alien.
Even us humans we can only do so much, aliens that have or will come here will be way ahead of us we can barely make it to the moon and back let alone fight aliens.
Many alien civilizations could probably destroy our entire planet but ok
@ Tatiana Ferreira Thats not true were most likely not going to put up much of a fight against alien life, we will most definitely be destroyed or erased from existence, plus I dont see the point of us trying to fight back anyways, we are very fragile in most ways, NO! in a alot of ways, Also we don't know much about them but you can not deny the fact they are so ahead of us in technology and what not
You just typed that on a iPhone…we’re worth talking too

Why? Its exciting to think what's out there. I think you feel that way because you don't truly believe that there is alien life out there.
Alienphobia
We can't even get along with our own kind, we don't need to get on the bad sides of extra-terrestrial life too.
xXSnobasocksXx Exactly. I think if anything is out there, than they are so far away they are pretty much safe. The closer they are to humans the worst.

@@BriggsDCory You forget what humans do to their lesser intelligence species in earth.
Why assume an alien would even have a concept of “advanced”. This is part of the problem. Assuming aliens would think anything like a human. One thing I will say is human are stubborn and arrogant, and can rarely imagine another human being experiences a different reality, less alone an alien. Humans think that everything that exists HAS TO be confined by time. Everything has to have a beginning, and everything has to have an end,just because they do. And they cannot imagine it and other way.

Humans haven't even been living a million years to even noticed other life forms in the universe.

You are not alone in this
Maybe they were sending signals but we didn't have the technology so they gave up :/
That's probably how it would work out. One possibility is that other civilizations have come and gone. You won't know until you know.

Lauren, no that doesn’t make sense. Humans can send signals that any advanced society can detect as coming from an intelligent source. Why send a signal to outer space in a form that only your own species can detect?

@@challengesman5399 u are being overly sensitive man,calm down
@@nolongerhuman9809 he has a point tho, we shouldn't make fun of autism. We should make fun of haters instead.
One of the biggest reasons, is probably because as we look "back", further into space, we see things as they were not in present time, but sometimes millions of years ago. Perhaps millions of years ago some of these places WERE desolate. But now? If we could see back there now, as it is, or even travel there, it could be overrun with life.
I think this comment is absolutely brilliant! I've never thought of that before. The light and info being received from those stars is thousands, if not millions, of lightyear away
I'm thinking the same thing. They could be looking at out galaxy just forming.
Or you could consider the fact they, as said, have much more advanced technology and science and are able to manipulate space-time to travel "faster than light" (I put the quotation marks for a reason).
Unless it's just physically impossible, which would be very interesting.
I have always thought the same thing and maybe that is part of the answer to the Fermi paradox
that seems plausible and thats why the signals we receive but can't see the lifeplanet sending it
The thing is, maybe we (and them) have out-developed technology to a point where it cannot develop much further and this is somewhat the furthest that technology can go. Which means that a cost-benefit analysis would result in a negative by any civilization to send thousands of things into space. Why would they? Especially if they might already understand a lot of the universe and don't feel like they need to explore much more. Having reached the limit of technological development also means might mean that they cannot reach other solar systems (just like us) with spacecraft or it would not be realistic (just like for us with our current technology).
This is why we will not see leftovers of such alien materials that quickly and often as you might expect at all. Maybe never.
Maybe if one civilization has actually survived millions of years and can travel between star-systems to survive dying home-stars, they can detect us. But again, their cost-benefit analysis would result in the question: Is it worth it to travel passed a thousand or million stars away just to reach a civilization that they don't know whether we are dangerous or not? Or to send signals to us while we might be a dangerous more advanced civilization than them? (how would they know for sure)
Even if there is already an entire network of civilizations in some places of the Milky Way galaxy, they might see us as a primitive, basic species that should just be left alone and not bothered. Like how we are slowly getting more respect for nature and we want to leave habitats alone and let animals in the wild just be themselves without disrupting their environment. If they already know about our existence, why would they bother letting us know? In what way would they benefit from letting us know that they know? They don't really care and maybe already know a lot about our milky way, not having much left to discover or explore.
And then for the sad theory: We might just be an incredible coincidence. Think about all the random events that were needed for our planet to thrive with life. 1) Our planet being on the exactly right location from our star (the sun). 2) our planet having exactly 1 moon that has a good effect on our climate regulation (ocean tides, shifting winds). 3) Jupiter being on the exactly right location for us to throw many incoming asteroids away from us instead of towards us. 4) Earth having exactly right combinations of materials, subtances and gasses, forming and maintaining an ozon layer that is perfect. 5) Our star (the sun) throwing off less violent flares, having less aggressive activity around it than other stars. And having the exactly right amount of mass and size. 6) Earth having the exactly right size and mass to not create certain problems or risks for supporting life for an abnormal long period of time. 7) Evolution taking place and the coincidence of one-out-of-a-million species and variations of all the animals on earth (->the apes) accidentally evolving into something with larger-brain-capacity and complex brain-acitivity in the skull due to a coincidental biological/genetic effect, becoming something with higher intelligence. Possibly, we were never meant to be this advanced. That could be a diversion, an abnormality between the millions of animals/species on Earth. Or a wonder, a miracle, however you want to see it. So maybe, we were never meant to be. We possibly shouldn't exist and or an error in evolution. Could be but I like to think not. I see the more beautiful side of it. We were meant to be.
We have just had a small amount of time to develop on Earth. Some animals here have been here for 10 to 50 times longer than us. Maybe any planet like ours experiences mass-extinction events more often than we have found out by our research. Maybe the next mass-extinction event can happen any time now. A time that gives any civilizations too little time to grow very advanced.
This is a good comment
Damn boii, that's long
@VIJAY MANE how do you know? What other evidence do we have except that thousands of species on our planet seem to require very similar things and we see no life on other planets of our own solar system besides maybe under the oceans of Jupiter's moons that have similar compositions to Earth.
Why would any civilization send ultra costly huge spaceships into space endlessly to travel for something that would not be beneficial but just be some information and of which vehicles most likely would have to outlive the length of how long the species on their home planet would even still be alive there to send information back to... the people on the spaceships will even forget why or would want to just live their own lives and make the best of it generations later, by just settling somewhere.
Love this comment
We all experience the same speed of light so for ufos to.exist even if the ufo spacecraft actually made it here they would be likely dead. If there are alien forms either they are no advanced or close enough. Math shows the distance we can see it would already be too long for them to survive. Its like you said. Maybe they cant evolve in technology or maybe if they did... like I said, the speed of light is the same for us all.
The narrator seemed so happy talking about the universe
What if they are less advanced?
It would still be a cool discovery, and evidence that life exists outside of earth.
+External Vines Then we can Enslave Them.
+Neo-Nuclearcrazed Valeniret don't get me started with slaves and being less advanced 😂
+Neo-Nuclearcrazed Valeniret that's just unnecessary, chill
Exactly what I was thinking
The question I would like to ask is : Why do humans on earth still make war with eachother instead of investing our time and resources into advancing our technology. Why do the sane and moral people allow the greedy and corrupt to lead? Imagine a world where people wouldn't have to work to stay alive, but rather work to better mankind. A world where our technology has become so advanced that it serves us and we only work on improvement. A world where technology wipes poverty and hunger from the table and unites mankind without destroying our individual and national independence. This can all be achieved regardless of our religious or political differences as long as everyone starts to focus more on peace and advancement instead of just surviving and existing. If you look at what the World has to offer, you will see that in almost every country in the world we have brilliant people with unique ideas that can positively change our world.
+Adriaan Cilliers You are wrong it cant be achieved regardless of religious differences because religion at its core its rejecting the idea of mankind controlling itself but it promotes the ideology that god is exclusive and man can't control each other . The only way that your beautiful dream can be achieved is by realizing that religion has been always in front of technology revolution stopping and slowing it down.And there should be an nuclear event that will bring all of the humanity together to work in harmony and peace.
+HyperCoder Thats a answer I would expect from a typical atheist that doesnt understand the core of the majority of religions in the world.
I wonder the same thing on a daily basis. if we can understand that simple concept why doesn't it happen? whatever the answer is I think it's what religious people call "the devil". …i have my doubts of course(question everything) but the Bible really does have some good knowledge hidden behind all the metaphors
because a majority of the population is stupid and refuses to think for themselves
Yeah true
Now if the aliens are like cows, they will not spread out in the galaxy even after a billion years of their spawning.
If there is no limit of how big , the universe is, then there might be no limit to how small its constituent particles are.

Maybe they are really far and are looking through a microscope and see dinosaurs not us..because of how long it takes life to travel
Jalen Thomas light*
Well if life is as rare as it seems, any signs of life would be interesting enough to investigate...
jrag1000 it doesn't seem like it should rare so If we're going by odds..unintelligent life would not seem interesting enough to investigate
You'd have to think of it from the perspective you have now, let's say we witnessed signs of life on mars we would not simply ignore that, the main reason we are in space is to see if we could exist somewhere other than earth. Think of it on scale, microscopic earth in the gigantic universe. If you managed to escape your initial planet you would continue to attempt to delve farther into space. It's a curiosity endemic to intelligent life I'm sure.
jrag1000 do you realize we don't have telescopes that powerful? If you think of it from were we are now then what I said wouldn't even be plausible ..I'm saying a species more advanced than us clearly

I think life could also be possible on extemely hot/cold planets, the only thing is, we think life isn't possible on those planets because we can't life there. For example: we can't live beneath the water, but fish can. Maybe there's somekind of life that can survive in extreme conditions that we cant.
Like water bears? They can survive in places like the moon.However I think the reason we don't see life grow on other planets might be because there is no food on that planet to sustain life . Our life started because primordial soup had been spewing out of the sea bed . Presence of amino acids can be at play here too.
But can I ask u... Why a fish need to be smart? It's a fish.
I wish in heaven we can get all the answer and truth in visual that we cant solve in this planet called "EARTH".

jrag1000 Or they are just so advanced, they don't notice us and they don't notice us. Like when you walk down the street, there's a worm on the side of the road, but you don't notice it, but that worm could be screaming as loud as it could, we still don't pay attention.

The Pug Warrior maybe you don't, but I don't see bees making making technological scientific and social advancements. Have you seen or heard bees sending rockets into space? or mapping the human gnome?
But we do stick our hands in beehives and study, track, and release papers on them. We have studies how they communicate, social structure, and eat their honey. We have superior intelligence and we still study bees.
Maybe they communicate using a different method to radio waves. Maybe they are so different to us we can even register them with our technology.
*can't.
maybe we are a alien
Fester Blats
It's a myth that the radio and TV waves from our planet travel on forever. It's just like shining a flashlight into the distance. It eventually spreads out so much that all the energy becomes dissipated. Even if we sent one single strong and concentrated signal (like a laser) it would only be able to contact a very specific point which would also reduce the chance of any real communication. That of course also assumes life on the other end is even attempting to (or is able to) receive the signal from us.
3:30 the video made that exact point, stop being so desperate for people to think you’re intelligent

Our description of life is very limited. The only life we examine is here on earth. That limits our perception of life. Maybe it could be formed anywhere. We have seen organisms on earth that can survive in -400°C, and also 800°C. Why can't it happen somewhere else. Why are we only looking for "Earth" like planets for life, knowing life can adapt to anything. Maybe life is out there, but we don't know how it looks, because our perception of life is small

Also alien: ow, they have many diseases, never mind...

You are exactly correct. That means their is absolutely no hope for life beyond us.
@@micah.1009 Millions? 13.8 billion years.
It is against all odds that we humans are either special or alone in this Universe. Regarding the absence of evidence about extraterrestrial life, I believe that we are looking for the signs of the life as we know it, because this is what we can perceive, detect, and establish. By definition, it is impossible to imagine, let alone explore, the unimaginable. However, can living organisms depart from the norms we are used to? Can life have other forms?
If the UFO sightings do correspond to extraterrestrial visitations, and it is becoming harder with time to refute such phenomena, the visitors are - in comparison - surely more (technologically) advanced: given that the other planets and their natural satellites of the solar system do not seem to come anywhere close to life-sustaining habitats, the visitors must have (at least) solved the problem of travelling effectively through space-time. This basically places them several notches above us. In that case, the hope would be that they are not only more intelligent and advanced, but also wiser than us humans.
The ufo's are technology created by the us.
This video is 8years ago, and still relevant.
What if WE are the most advanced?
That'd be cool.
GMD Mcahill no, not really

I also have this question. I don't know if TED has already made a video on this but how do we know that the conditions similar to Earth's are the only conditions life can form or live under. Can't the conditions of something we consider inhospitable be the right for some other alien civilisation?
That's what I too think bro
Yess...the only thing close to an answer I've found is about possible life on Titan.. Titan has ethane and methane lakes. Scientists do say there could be different form of life there..one that is adapted to methane
They can handle this. They're are intentionally keep some distance as this time as we become more conscious.
@@mridhulml9238 There is a really high chance of life on titan. Not because they can be adapted to methane but because of methane. METHANE CAN'T OCCUR NATURALLY. Only life can produce methane. There is a really high chances for life to be there. We can't be 100 percent sure tho but usually methane is decomposed by bacteria and all the conditions are right for life. Maybe we'll get to know aliens in our lifetime.

We're proof, that life can evolve anywhere.
That's entirely incorrect. All we prove is that life can evolve here. We do not have proof that life can evolve elsewhere.
I'm a pretty big believer that life exists somewhere else out there, but your statement just doesn't make one bit of sense at all.
A random planet, that formed around a completely random star in the perfect position (randomly) to create random lifeforms based on it's own ecosystem probably original to it only seems pretty much like proof to me.
Adrenalin844 "Pretty much like proof" is not "proof."
When we find, or are able to create life on another planet, we will then have proven that life can exist elsewhere. Until that time, it will always be "pretty much like proof" but not proof.

You seem to have an absence of imagination, don't you?
I'd rather think of us not being alone.
Not we. But some organisms that live in the deepest parts of our oceans,and some microrganisms that can survive in radiation that would kill us in seconds
technology may vary.. the techonology we use to find aliens may be different than that of aliens used to find us or other aliens..so it may be due to techonology mismatch..
so if
2+2+2=6
similarily
1+3+1+1=6
and
1+2+3=6
i may be using different digits to reach at 6 but the conclusion is 6..
we are using different techonologies for same solutions..
Thats true, actually we can reach it if we have great technology
What you say could be true, we have never been to or seen a planet that has had the correct circumstances for life, so who’s to say the life on that planet would be anything similar to life here on earth. For example bob Lazar was a man who supposedly worked at area s-4 on multiple crashed ufos, whether you believe him or not he has proved many things to be true that weren’t always the case, what I mean is he said the craft was run of a element not fount naturally here on earth element 115. When his story broke everybody thought the guy was a physcho until a few years ago when the scientific community announced the new element “element 115” which was the exact element bob lazar explained. If you interested I recommend watching his story he has also come out to prove much more things. Anyway my point is the craft that visited us had this element in abundant and in a table state, we had to learn to make the element and still can only achieve a half life state meaning it dies after a period of time. What if there planet of home to different chemicals and coumpound making giving them or us an advantage when it comes to using our resources

I have a theory, I saw a different documentary to this one ages ago, it was very scientific and told me that the 2 most versatile molecules in the universe are carbon and silicon, because they can both form complicated structures. So in theory, if there was a planet somewhere that has lots of silicon, and other molecules, there maybe a combination of molecules for a silicon based life form, and if that was to happen, or if it has happened, that life form would most likely be the most successful type of space explorers possible. Our own technology has gone through the roof since the moon landings, and it’s all thanks to silicon chips, and right now we are on the cusp of creating a silicon based life form. What if it’s not a coincidence? What if our constant hunger for newer better technology blinded us to the fact we were given this tech in the first place, and we are being steered towards creating an artificially intelligent species that they could turn on us at anytime. Am I completely nuts?
One of the best explanations I have heard for the reason we haven't encountered aliens is we may exist at a different time. For example, imagine blinking lights on a Christmas tree. Some lights are on and others off, but few lights are on simultaneously.
what if we are looking through the wrong planets?what if alien life need different atmosphere unlike ours to survive?
They are quite capable of traveling across space and time and different realities.

They say we are also very concerned more with the messenger than the message; ie we're more interested in who they are than what they have to share.
Who says that since we adapted to live on earth that other species arent capable of living in the conditions of other planets
something i've always wondered
"Why can't we find alien life?"
"Because they're hiding in plain sight."
Exactly. We look to far away from us. If we were to care about any other alien life, it should be close or really advanced
My theory on this, some aliens are extra-dimensional and can travel from 3D space to 4D space. Its a crazy topic but im 100% certain it true. Read this, youll understand www.cropcircleconnector.com/anasazi/fringe2013b.html
Because they don't exist.
If other life dont, then why do we? :)
@@mysteries6894 they do exist, it is obvious. Could we really be alone in an infinite universe? Think it over, and you will know, if we managed to get life on Earth, then how can't there be other life in the universe?
The universe looks like a brain under a microscope. All the neurons connecting
Interesting video about aliens and space, good animation.
Two things to consider: 1) the age of the universe has been revised down to 11 billion years old. If the Earth is 4 billion years old, that's almost half universe's age for the Earth to form, cool, get a moon to stabilize it, collect water, and ensure its magnetic field is strong enough to filter out harmful rays from the sun. Then the dinosaurs would have to all die before any mammals can start taking over.
2) The early universe would have been too harsh for all or any of 1) to take place so if there is another form of life out there with intelligence, it would have to be no more advanced than ours. Since we don't yet have the technology or the knowledge to communicate with extraterrestrial life, so won't other life out there with us.
Also they trabel with the same speed.of life. Even if they were more advanced they are too far to get here. So they would likely be dead.

Call of duty?
Not really actually. Depends on individual beings.
Excellent narration by Chris Anderson, who is also the founder of Ted!
Life on Earth [in particular human life] came about through a series of events that all had to happen in the correct order at the right time. If not for that we wouldn't be here today. For those events to replicate themselves is possible, but how likely? And as this video illustrates, there could be life out in other parts of the galaxy, but we have failed to detect it, for one reason or another.
...or maybe life on earth is a scientific experiment of some more advanced civilization...;-)
If that's the case, we are failing.
Often scientists just observe, there cannot be any failures, in what is observed. That´s by the way a good way to see one´s own personal self:-)
We could be one of the many planets that they have been observing.
you never now
I said it tongue in cheek to start with:) But being the object of an scientific experiment, does not mean you have to be able to consciously interact with the ones conducting the experiment:)
What if the most powerful source to reach other life is our mind and how we use it...
Woow 😯😯😯😯😯😯
our most powerful tool is not our mind but that which it is made of, awareness or consciousness.
@@FreeFlow__ probably consciousness since our consciousness is a type of powerful energy which has awareness
This is exactly correct! They can communicate telempathically. But many people reject these ideas because they are not provable. One idea humans have is that there is some sort of single truth, when the ultimate truth is composed of all truths. Truths that seems opposite can actually coexist. Many scientists are not comfortable with that and so it's hard for aliens to communicate with them.
This was the best accidental asmr I've ever stumbled on
If humans start living on other plants in the future, they can turn into aliens because of gravity, sunlight and atmosphere differences.
Underrated comment
But they're still human
They would not be aliens
cells in your body think they are alone too
Do cells have a consciousness or an ability to ponder such things?
Why? Because I disagreed with your misguided religious opinion?
Are you really that terrified of differing opinions?
Sorry I've upset you so much. I do hope the rest of your day goes better.
Thake care and... GOD BLESS!
I asked a couple tough questions and instead of responding with a reasonable answer you called me a troll. Does the bible teach name-calling?
Of course it doesn't. How do I know? I've read the entire Bible. Have YOU? Most Christians haven't.
In any case, I'm glad you enjoy organized religion. I hope it continues to serve you well.
Have a good one!
You're the boss! God bless!
The distances are so vast we will never find any other life.
Ok. Just a weird thought from me...
Is there any possibility that we humans could be the alien lifeforms that we are trying to find in other planets??
possibly
What do you mean?

The moment we detect complex extra-terrestrial life, I believe all the nations on Earth will finally realize how arbitrary and harmful borders are and will begin to work together as one human-kind.
Or maybe, some of them will try to take an advantage of the situaion. Imagine some country trades the knowledge of our biology, politics, history, current limits of technology, ecology etc. for information about some advanced alien technology, which can be used to blackmail the rest of the world. For instance, imagine only one country has a supercomputer with a computing power trillions times greater than all human made computers together. Or, imagine only one country can cure any type of cancer. Or stop aging. Or travel to Mars and back in a day.
I hate borders. I hate the concept of "nation" in general... It only brings racism, wars, pain, problems, create hundreds of languages whereas we would only need 1 single common language...
Benzene I agree with you. Although the idea of countries itself is a concept that I hope will wear out within the span of the next few millenia.
Benzene No, there will always be predatory humans who will fear the aliens and want to destroy them, or take advantage of the aliens, whatever. Humans are good and bad, and both will affect the relationship between us and any alien visitors.
Benzene cute
Countless knowledge available, we just need to explore and discover. What a beautiful life.
Just like any political subject people will believe what they want to believe. That should be an insight into the idea that we create reality through our beliefs.
Like the story from star ocean game, our universe probably is just a advance simulation program or application so our planet is designed like that which far from other planets with life forms to avoid interfering the progress of civilization from each other or probably war.
An interesting hypothesis I've seen floated about is that maybe everyones listening and no ones broadcasting?
+Ned Lightowlers We are broadcasting.
+abhiraj rajadhyaksha it will take over 100 years for a broadcast to be detected
+Ned Lightowlers Maybe they destroyed themself, we have been on the verge of doing it several times. And still we are continuing.

...actually there are many similar 'suns' within a shorter distance...which could sustain life..could being the key word here. This is Nasa's Kepler program and it is advancing ... also fyi : www.atlasoftheuniverse.com/50lys.html here is a map of similar 'stars' to ours within 50 light years..
Fifty light years. Then I'm right. 50 years to the nearest alien life and another 50 years until a feedback
What if dark matter Is created by aliens to "silence" any eyes looking too far in...
You can't assume anything with out fact and even then if you make a hypothesis you need to make it a logical assumption.
I mean for all we know, WE may be the most advanced civilization in the galaxy. That might explain why we haven't found anything yet. Then again we've just begun to look...
Thats imposible, out of trillions of planet with a habitable atmosphere we might be the least intelligence out there.
Boom Wasak A trillion tries is pretty low for finding intelligence
the most convincing for me (not in this video) is that we are presently living in a tiny time frame while the rest are occupying other time frames so it would be impossible to be in the same moment.
Well said. Thank You
While I don’t doubt, there is live on numerous planets, I do doubt, that the speed of light barrier can be broken. After a period of enthusiasm mankind will conclude, there‘s a limit on technical development and redirect resources into repairing and keeping our biosphere intact.
I have a strong feeling that human are the only civilisation technologically advanced the other civilisations in the milky way are like caveman just smart enough to survive
That last scenes are absolutely Easter eggs based on '2001 a space Odyssey' ,a movie from 70 year ago... Such is the legacy of the book and the movie.
Thanks for adding them..!
mabey aliens dont want to talk to us
Scientist missions like the Kepler Space Telescope and the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) have discovered many exoplanets in space. Some of these, such as those in the TRAPPIST-1 system and Proxima Centauri b, are in the habitable zones of their stars.
I'm guessing the possibility of life as complex as on earth is only recently possible because of a variable unknown to us.
Otherwise either too big of a filter, one we crossed (like multi-cellular life), one that's ahead of us (possible self-destruction)
Or it's physically impossible to colonize the universe, thus making our search reduced to the home planet and/or nearby planets, seeing how humans are only recently capable of this after a billion years of evolution, chances are that it's quite hard, if not impossible, for other life-forms to colonize any of their extraterrestrial planets, thus reducing our capability of finding such a planet near-impossible, since it's probably quite hard to determine earth is filled with life if you looked at it 10.000 years ago.
Last possibility I could think of is: "We're still invisible", we only created tech that can see outside earth well for a small amount of time, things like radio waves and the like take a long time to be visible from outer space, so it's likely our reaches out havn't reached anything that can come by as of yet, and won't do so for the next million years
It's only depressing if you can't appreciate how amazing life and the Universe truly are.
Maybe there are intelligent life beyond earth, it's just that we are so unintelligent they don't want to have anything to do with us, like you would try to avoid a violent abusive neighbor with a drinking problem
They say we're not ready to listen.
We haven't found one yet.. because someone putted us here. And he did that for a reason. There has to be someone out there that controls everything.
I just choose to believe that other life forms out there choose not to interact with us just because we're still babies to them in terms of development
