We all used to think that for just next week, but rather the Millennium, we will make contact with alien civilizations.
The fact is that, most likely, this will never happen. And all because really no one gives us any signals, and is not moved from one star to another in search of new places to conquer.
Continuing the Great silence — this is no accident.
Our galaxy is very old, so by this point we had still have to make contact with extraterrestrial intelligence, if such there were.
If you think that the aliens are engaged only in such big projects, such as SETI, you are deeply mistaken. In fact, the whole Earth is covered with antennas and satellite devices deployed in the furthest reaches of our cosmos. And yet all we hear is silence.
The fact that we still haven’t met any aliens, can be a serious indicator of our future.
Perhaps there is some technological barrier to overcome which is not yet possible. Maybe this barrier is a superintelligence or paramilitary nanotechnology.
Maybe the aliens just being paranoid and xenophobic, trying to show its existence in case of hostile neighbors. Another explanation may be that intelligent life has chosen the path of the study of the infinite reality of cyberspace is a cold and dead space.
And perhaps we really are alone in this vast space.
