>In order for intelligence to contact us, they need some spaceship, radiowave, message that goes faster then the speed of light. With the age and size of our universe, going light speed wont cut it.You need something faster and this is is physically impossible. Of course it is possible given they live within the neighborhood, but still ridiculously unlikely on account of how far away galaxys are from each other, and the fact they are generally accelerating away from each other
Why are you making this assumption? It is false. They could have had plenty of time. You're just thinking in terms of human timespans or even known biological timespans.

>That's my point, there is no reason to think that we will ever get the message, though it is certainty possible. Im saying it is akin to waiting for signs from a metaphysical realm because that is literally what it is. We have no idea what reality is beyond what we see.
By the logic of the Fermi Paradox we'd expect it except if one of the many resolutions to it are true. We can't make any conclusion on whether we should expect it but based on avilable data it would seem rather likely. Also why do you compare it to signs from a metaphysical realm?
