There is absolutely no basis by which to estimate the number of intelligent civilizations. There are so many factors which we cannot even begin to estimate reasonable values for, the calculation can vary by orders of magnetude depending on what value we guess for the factors which we cannot calculate.

I personally think that we are alone. The insane number of extremely unlikely steps that are required for an intelligent civilization to arise make it so improbable that its basically impossible if not for the anthropic principle. The anthropic principle only requires a single intelligent civilization to exist, it would not require more.

You only claim this because you believe that you should be seeing galaxy wide civilizations or something, and because you don't see this you conclude you are alone.
You refuse to accept the actual answer: It's not possible to ever BECOME a space faring galaxy wide civilization regardless of effort.

This is all bullshit because this scientists, try to fit the public narrative as good as they can. But matter of fact is 60-70% of all stars are binary systems, meaning they have an vast expanded habitable zone. Hydrogen and Oxygen are one of the most common elements. There for you can even ague that there are 2-3 Habitable planets per star system.

Meaning the life carrying planets in our Galaxy can go into the trillions. You can also ague that Intelligent live is an necessary outcome of evolution. If only 50% of this necessary intelligent species have colonized other planters. You can assume that nearly 50% of all planets could contain an Civilization, and towns and space ships and stuff.

But an realist would assume one per star System cause this is the only really reference we have.

Too many possible answers, too little information.
And we just started looking at space. There could've been life on Mars a billion years ago. We'll never find out until we go to Mars and find evidence. And Mars is out neighbor. If you don't even know what's buried in your neighbors backyard, how can you guess what's buried in the next town over?
To me, it seems likely that most habitable planets would have some form of life. Seems more logical because there are just so many fucking planets and even on earth, life fills every niche it can find. And how can we know that life must be carbon based? For all we know there are giant deep space creatures eating radiation and breeding in black holes. It's all just sci fi at this point until we've actually bin to a bunch of planets and other star systems.

We are rapidly approaching the point where all open problems are so complex that they are not solvable in reasonable timeframes, where "reasonable timeframe" is defined as 'within a few billion years".

Trying to understand the universe better won't kill us. The rejection of reality will, it is the primitive nature of humans that will get us all killed. Take global warming for example, everyone can see it coming, everyone can see that the earth won't be able to support basic food supply in the next 100 years, heavy metals in the ground water, plastic nano particles in every animal, it's already too late to stop irreversible damage and humans haven't stopped yet. Because of behavioral patterns ingrained in human brains over billions of years. The same behaviors that helped life survive will be the behaviors that kill us, because humans will not respond to a threat unless it is visible and acute. Environmental degradation is a slow creeping problem, humans won't respond to it until there are direct issues, like hundreds of thousands of livestock dying off, massive insect die-off (already happening), dustbowl x10, then humans will respond, but it will be far too late. The time for massive mobilization against environmental failure was 30 years ago. The life support system of planet Earth is turned out. Worst part is, any subsequent sapient life after us won't be able to build up a sufficient industrial base for space colonization. Game over for Earth based life. The great filter was set in stone the moment RNA was able to replicate itself in the primordial soup, the same behaviors that govern all life are the same general behaviors of all systems, evolution is a chemical byproduct of entropy. Humans are the logical endpoint of entropy acceleration, we burned out the planet, nothing will be left.

and one more think, he really do think like me and i sense that people I mean those with higher intelligence are increasing. I mean in future we can solve everything to behave harmonically if everyone is inteligent. In order to achieve it everyone must have implemented same basic tutorial software with all kinds of skills that could be randomized or selected but the base intelligence and logic of how to behave should be preselected. That way nobody will break any rules, theres no need for govt and rulemaking, every single person will behave like part of civilization but solo on his own, using resources he needs or maintain and do whatever he wants. In a simple effective world without need of materialism etc because the need of money and all bad habits boil to the primitive instincts. With intelligence you dont need any of those, intelligent systems in nature operates with no errors only if something stronger in order to neutralize it prevail. The logic can be programmed as we want, the world and universe can be as we want if we strive enough to understand how to operate any system and leverage the power of any system we encounter in space. Be it materials, holes, gravity, dimensions, invisible powers and things we dont understand because its from nth perspective's n'th perspective of perspective,... everything in entire infinite universe will be all the same, endlessly dying and recreating expanding cycle of time.

We truly require to put a smart computer system to our brain, with RAM and possibly any other gadget if wanted, I mean why not to have sensors, night vision, whatever on github. If you already have wikipedia, wolfram alpha, google and all sorts of AIs in your head. So with that high clock speed and bandwidth we will be able to think insanelly faster, dealing with things faster, solving anything and finding new ideas, sharing them in matter of ms with everyone in the world and their input. It will be unimaginable huge cloud of brain like megainternet. So whole civilization can probably paralelly boost eachother's "brain server" in order to achieve even more insane levels of computation. And yea that way we are unstoppable, space exploration will be easy, planet by planet teraforming, colonizing, spreading, sending more mind fragments to distant places and building life there just from molecules, speeding up processes. It all started slow but then its exponential all like all in space, all is cumulating, slowing in mass perception yet insanely INSANELY huge.

Intelligence is proven by being selfaware to a point that you put a simulated and observed world in your brain away - you just put a breakpoint (its like when u meditating), step up from consciousness and focus on environment but not yourself as who you are, because your brain just constantly complexely projects a simulation of what it would be to understand what would have meaning to observe everything that as light rays flows to our retina in data pieces that we since child decrypt and compare based on experience and memories. Everything you do is because there was a regulation in your body, an observation, an action, a reaction, observation, evaluation and another planing. All this is slow but faster than plant but they are not cognitive.

What are you going to do once you get there?

Even if you were to magically force all of humanity to come together to build a starship, that means nothing if you can't actually find a habitable planet.

How are you going to find a habitable planet? the tools needed to be able to reliably detect and study a habitable planet would cost just as much, if not more, than the starship. If you don't do that then you'll just be guessing based on factors that will give you some very vague idea of what the planet COULD be like.


This is why I can't stand you retarded popsci pseuds. You watch garbage youtube videos about how we totally could build an interstellar ship right now if we wanted to but never bother to think about everything else that comes with interstellar travel.

oh boy how gracious of them.

after 100 years of insisting it was impossible, they finally begin to admit what normal people knew all along.
sometimes scientists just deserve to grt the shit beat out of them holt fuck

Given a diameter of about 175,000 ly for the galaxy and an even distribution of 30 civilizations, they'll be roughly 27,000 ly apart. So yeah, fat chance. Maybe we'll detect lifesigns someday, but forget about communication, let alone travel.

This what people don't understand. Yeah, there could definitely be technologically advanced civilizations in our galaxy. Dozens of them, in fact. But space is so incomprehensibly big that we will almost certainly go extinct long before we have a chance of interacting with them. For all intents and purposes, we are alone.

This, humans will take over the solar system far before any interstellar colony can happen. And even then it's so far away and costs so much very few would want to foot the bill for something that will never net them a return. I could see some future despot wanting to do it so he has his own hermit kingdom, but he would need vast amounts of resources.

there you go again making your an answer to an argument nobody is making.
we fucking know we're not going to go visit them over the weekend.
stop fucking parroting this shit just so you can sound smart. we all fucking know this already.
but you dont have a fucking clue what these theoretical other intelligent civilization may poseess in science and technolgy. and even if they are limited by no ftl travel, that doesnt mean they havent been tavelling for the last 10 million years and could stop by anytime. its not impossible, as you like to claim.
your just blatantly claiming things that may or may mot have happened you dont fucking know

And the payoff is... uncertain.
At best, contact with nice civilization that will boost our knowledge. At worst, destruction of humanity. And somewhere on the middle, just planets with some resources on them, some more statistical data about solar systems.

What about the Interstellar method? Just send some dudes on a one way trip to all planets and wait for the data to come back

Interstellar is an unironic great space movie. Had actual physicists and astronomers working on it.

Space is vast, hostile and mostly dead. The only way we'll ever interstellar travel is via literal magic (wormhole and time travel shenanigans).

you have no clue why Interstellar was a great space movie because you know nothing about physics or space.

Part of me thinks we create them. All celestial bodies, just a reflection of the Earth. Telescopes can only focus so far before they create worlds themselves!

It's a no brainer to assume there's multicellular life, and it's quite likely there's sapient life. Now, advanced life? That's the question.
