Are we, the human being, alone in the Universe? Given another 3,000 years, will we find ET, Aliens in this Universe?

Lol, 3000 years! If civilisation still exists it would have long since grown out of the silly twentieth century inspired obsession with space boogers. Movies as a form of entertainment will have long since become obsolete, and their obsolescence will take their corny space operas with them.

The universe is huge (as people keep saying). So huge that it is utterly impossible to ever examine all the planets in every galaxy in the universe. Hence it is impossible to say if ET exists or not. What we can do is look a all planets in detection range. If ET is not detected then we are alone. Since we have already spent hundreds of years observing the sky, and decades deliberately searching for ET, with no success, and since this search is looking pretty tedious and absurd and due for closure, you can confidently claim that we are indeed alone.

Think what a profound and awesome discovery that is.

Cheers!

The Drake equation pretty much says it's next to impossible that we are alone in this galaxy, let alone this universe. And this equations works on probabilities and statistics with other theories and mathematics and it says millions of civilizations in this galaxy alone.

Adding to the fact that we have made contact with a non-human intelligence with a large brain in comparison to its body size living in a world that's as alien to us as outer space, and that's dolphins.

Plus adding the fact that NASA researchers found traces of methane on Mars, which may indicate the presence of biological life. NOT necessarily intelligent, but when you do the math...

The chances of other life existing in the Universe are astronomically high. The chances it visits Earth are astronomically low.

No one can predict what will or won't have happened in 300 years, nevermind 3,000. Except that nobody will be denying anthropogenic global warming by then.

While it's *possible* we're alone.... I'm doubting it. Although there's no proof currently, the sheer number of planets - and their locations around stars - makes me think there's going to be at least a few like Earth - in the 'Goldilocks zone' from their sun, and capable of supporting not only life, but a civilization.

Will we find them.... I'm guessing we will. We're already planning devices that will assist us in our search; and - we should warn ourselves - if *we* can do it, a more advanced race can find US as well...

3000 years isn't very long at all - humans have been around for about 10 thousand years and only in the past 100 years or so we've developed methods for communicating beyond our solar system. As technology advances, we'll get better, but we've only discovered like 0.0000001 percent of the stars in our own galaxy.

According to the experts we will find some within the next 20 years.

Yeah, there's already aliens studying us. There's photographic proof.

Nobody knows. There is no way to know. But most people assume we are not alone.

I just hope to have found my keys by then
