Wallowing in irony
I'm almost done reading this book called "The Singularity Is Near" by Ray Kurzweil. Kurzweil is a scientist/inventor who thinks that there most likely isn't any other intelligent life in the universe that has had an industrial revolution yet, because according to him, one a species hits an industrial revolution it only takes them 300, 400, or 500 years to start colonizing the entire universe (a task he predicts we will be well underway by the end of the 22nd century).
His ideas are well argued yet absurd, but if they hold weight, they make a good case for why there are NO INTELLIGENT ALIENS, period.
Did he also prove that travel over lightspeed is possible? If he didn't, they might just not be coming because it would take them too long.
