Thats a nice theory... But by said calculation, there is no life in the universe, hence, we dont exist.
I think whilst there may or may not be other life, I would imagine that it would be a LOT less likely that there is no life, and that we reside on the ONLY life supporting planet in the universe. In the galaxy, yes, definitely. but in the Universe... Infinite stars, each with the possibility of having orbiting planets, some of those planets being in the right conditions to support life..
The chances are there. as is the possibility... Im not saying "intelligent life capable of traveling faster than C, or capable of navigating wormholes in order to come here, abduct humans for probing purposes etc.. or doing flybys of populated areas." Im saying, Life. Germs growing and forming... Over time, evolution, etc. maybe more life, multi celled organisims.. in time maybe human like intelligence, maybe even human like form..
There is no way of saying "There is NO life in the universe appart from on Earth" Unless you've been there, you have absolutely NO idea. Nobody does.
Any answers in this thread are purely speculation. Chances/theories/possibilities etc. None of these can ever prove or disprove the existance of something that we can not possibly observe... It can give us a set of numbers with varying accuracy on which to make our hypothisis. But at the end of the day this will always be exactly that. A hypothesis.
I
THINK its very unlikely that we are the only life to have ever lived in the entire universe, or that we are the only current living life in the universe. I do doubt that any other life has ever visited us (the chances of finding something the size of earth in an infinite universe would have to be statistically insignificant) however I do think that it is very narrow minded to assume that there is no chance of life, let alone no life out there somewhere.

It can be proved mathematically.
To paraphrase Douglas Adams...
Space is infinite. There are an infinite number of stars, many of which have planets, so there are an infinite number of planets. We know of a few which don't have life, therefore there is a finite number of planets with life. If you divide any finite number by infinity the result is zero. So the probability that there is life on any planet is zero.
Seen plenty of UFO's, no aliens though. I'm sure someone can identify them, but to me they're UFO's.
