They make a compelling case with all of this evidence. I personally do not believe it &#8211; the physics just make it all too unlikely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have no doubt that there are &#8211; or have been over time &#8211; many solar systems that support life. Life is too tenacious and found at all extremes on Earth. Essential ingredients are floating around in interstellar space. I am sure that intelligent civilizations like ours have existed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Universe, however, is really big, and physics &#8211; especially the speed of light\/information &#8211; is limiting. 13 billion years old is a long time, and 48.5 billion lightyears wide is a long time to receive and transmit. How weak would the signal be so far away? Space, after all, is not empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or maybe they are just fucking with us \ud83d\udc7d. I do believe that another independently evolved species would not necessarily be like those that evolved on Earth\u2014too many variables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-bright-red-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-bright-red-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Roswell itself was bigger than I expected.
