Are we too preoccupied with ourselves? Are we not concerned about what is happening around us, at least in our neighboring galaxies? (I don't know what is happening in the next cubicle).
When I look up at the sky at night I'm amazed at the possibilities. Everything we can imagine should be happening some where in the universe however improbable it may be. Even an event with infinitesimal probability will have a probability of one if you sum it up over space time. It is 13.7 billion years since space and time disentangled. Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the Pub, but that's just peanuts to space (Credits to Douglas Adams). When you sum up the puny probability over the mind-bogglingly infinite space you will get 1.
There could even be places were Microsoft Works is not considered an oxymoron.
Still we are apathetic. Do we think we are alone in this universe? Are there intelligent life forms in this universe? Answer kind of depends on what actually is an intelligent life form. If it is anything like the two legged, caffeine saturated life forms from planet earth, there will be billions. I will prove the existence of other intelligent life forms in this universe. Here goes.
Question: Will the intelligent life form try to contact the human race under any circumstance.
Answer: Doh
Hence the theorem.
The apparent reason for this is the fact that our TV and radio signals are hurtling through the space looking for new victims. If some unsuspecting alien happens to watch a Jim Carrey movie he will make sure that he remains at least a Zillion light years away from earth.
