[QUOTE=sheeny;1092477]I think life could be quite bountiful. Sentient life probably reasonably rare though and technological life forms who we think of like ourselves, extremely rare.
I've always thought this point of view held by a number of theorists is the most sensible one , after all even if life does flourish all over the universe as it probably does , evolution to sentient life capable of developing complex technology is not so likely . Even here on earth some groups of humans reached levels of technology that failed to change for thousands of years before intervention from groups with more advanced technology , perhaps they would not have changed if left?
