Well have any of you even heard of the Drake Equation? The Drake Equation IS the probability of us existing here, and we can use it to further estimate how many intelligent civilizations there are per galaxy. Multiply that by the hundred of billions of galaxies in our universe, and we find that we really aren't alone




I mean from even moderate analysis and estimates we find that there may be as many 2-3 intelligent civilizations in each galaxy, thats a staggering number for the entire universe.

We just aren't that special.

Science and Nature forum, I'd be willing to presume.
