mathematically impossible for not just one but millions of advanced alien civilizations to not exist

1) We know that life can exist on a suitable planet of the universe; it has already happened here; it has managed to achieve the 2nm transistor and it keeps advancing.
2) We know that there are _at least_ (observable) ~10 to the 24th solar systems that is at least 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 or a trillion trillion systems.
3) It's statistically impossible for them to not exist since the inverse of the number of suitable planets is smaller than the planck constant.

Main issue is that the vastness of space in combination with the speed of light limit makes it likely impossible to meet most of them.
Now there's also the interesting dark forest theory; advanced aliens are already near; but they don't think it helps them to help.
Probability itself is not much of an issue since the permutations are approximately unlimited and the probability non-zero.

The "humans are special" hypothesis is religious nonsense.
Even on earth some animals are smart and almost there.
Only this 1 solar system has almost-earths.
