The universe is of infinite limits and there are billions of billions of places where life might exist, so it makes sense that there are likely other intelligent beings. Unfortunately we are unable to currently get signals from most of space. Astrophysicist Howard A. Smith tells us that we are not able to detect signals from more than 1,250 light years, a tiny speck in the scheme of the Cosmos; and in the small region between here and there, we are probably the only ones. The conclusion he makes is that though there may be millions of inhabited planets, they are currently not in our range of communication and its likely to be a hundred or more generations before they are. So for all practical purposes we are alone, and effectively on our own in the Universe. What a buzz kill for all those searching.
