This is why the aliens don't talk to us.

Of course I'm familiar with Sagan's take on the matter. I first read about the Drake equation in one of his books.
The problem with most answers to the paradox, including the one you mentioned, is it doesn't account for diversity among alien life. Too fast, too slow... but nothing detectable. If they're out there it doesn't stand to reason that they're ALL too fast or too slow or undetectable for whatever reason. In Sagan's day the search was new. We've been bombed with decades of silence now. At some point the silence starts to mean something. |

Kurzweil said he thinks we're in the lead and it's going to work out. I doubt it. Homo sapiens have been around 200,000 years. The universe 13.7 billion years. Something's ****ed up. |

I have no idea about the maths but assuming it takes a few billion years at least to evolve to the point where your pollution is visible from space are there actually galaxies within an observable range that we can see in the time period that they are likely to exist and not, say a million years before they evolved that far?
