    We've only had telescopes for 400 years, roughly one millionth of a percent of the age of the universe. Before then we confidently stated that the earth was the center of the universe and locked people up who said otherwise, and now we've written off there being any chance of intelligent life outside of humans?

    We're nothing if not cocky.

    I'd say that it's more likely that we're not intelligent life after all.

    I was only joking

      Here's some relatively rigorous thinking on the subject:

      Education is extremely important.

        Of course there is intelligent life on millions of planets.

        And why assume any of them operate at the same speed as us?

        Their super-brains could have clock speeds a million times faster than ours.

        They could evolve from slime to supermen in a matter of (our)days, and they could come here to visit just hours later.

        They are so fast, we would all appear to be soft statues to them.

            We may be about to create intelligent life. I occasionally wonder what happened to God. Maybe it was us. And maybe we're next.

              I agree with that there almost certainly is developed life out there, more than just a single cell or two.

              But what is you guys definition of intelligent life?

              For example, would the dinosaurs be considered intelligent life? They were around of 100's of millions of years, and while they could think, they never really evolved too much.

              And if it was not for the "Meteor of Death", they may still be the top of the food chain today.

                Tools are a pretty good indication.

                    When the aliens come they'll undoubtedly take the piss out of our piano playing and hammering no end. It would be like going to see a Neanderthal play, and all they say the whole way through is 'Fire, Good!' and all the other Neanderthals nod their heads and applaud and shit, and you'd be sat there thinking 'When's the fucking intermission? I really need a drink or I'm going to start screaming'

                    That's what the alien landings are going to be like.

                      @Horace

                      Great podcast. Alot there to wrap your head around. Certainly challenges conventional thinking on the subject.

                        Adds a lot to the discussion, I think. Could be a basis for another series of books somewhat like Foundation.

                          NASA releases report on UAP (UNIDENTIFIED ANOMALOUS PHENOMENA)

                          Interesting report, but in the end, doesn't really say anything. "We think that they can be explained by non-alien means, but we are not 100% sure. More investigations is needed."
