You have to remember that Earth is a "backwater" planet. We are fairly far out in one of the spiral arms of the galaxy, meaning we are far younger than those towards the center. The likelyhood that a race older than us would be using radio waves, which is all we are currently able to scan for with SETI, is fairly low. To a more advanced race, radio waves would be akin to what we think of smoke signals.
Considering the sheer number of solar systems in our galaxy, let alone others, it's pretty naive to think we would be the only form of life in the universe.

Yes you're right our govt would not reveal the knowledge of life from somewhere else. But look at it with the cold eye of science; our universe is immense. Our galaxy, the Milky Way is 100,000 light years across, it is one of an estimated 500 million stars inside what is called "super hoops" each of one of these "hoops" is 1 billion to 143rd power in circumfrence (like a centillion - 600 zeroes) If you subscribe to the "big bang" theory the outer edges of the known universe is 13.835 billion years old, the inner ring, like the rings on a cross section of a tree, the one we live on is only 453 million years old. 1) with this kind of time expanse it would be absolutely ridiculous to think that we are the only thing the universe has been able to produce in that much time over that much space and available resources. 2) find the "drake equation" on the net or library its out there and does a better job of explaining the probability of life beyond the earth. 3) In relevance to time we are very very young in the grand scheme of things and have only, in the last 35 years, begun to look out into and beyond our own back yard, we have a long long way to go to truly become citizens of the universe. A good place to start would be . . .

Another shallow thinking moron brought to you by Yahoo Q&A.
Look idiot, the only reason man has yet to occupy outer space is 1) the technology isn't quite there just yet, and 2) The money required to close the gap in this technological deficiency isn't there yet either. As soon as the problems are solved, mankind will be on its way off this planet, and into the galaxy.
And as far as governments concealing "dark secrets" about life in outer space? Just another moronic concept I'd expect from a shallow thinker such as yourself.

the explanation we ought to anticipate there's a actuality is that throughout any different case there is not any communique possible. case in point, till i anticipate which you're a individual or a minimum of a working laptop or laptop application, and not a trick of the suggestions, i could haven't any reason to respond to this question! genuine? Or flow, or bypass to artwork or perhaps open my eyes...EVER! The meaning of each and every action we take is contingent upon there being a actuality. It isn't clever to doubt that actuality. it is extremely a priori needed that we settle for that our existences in this international are as they seem! And that our senses at the instant are not intentionally mendacity to us yet are often exceptionally stable. yet in simple terms that lots! not extra! the explanation we don't go with to have self belief that we are brains in a jar in some trick is that that is going previous the minimum point of assumption. that may not the way issues seem, even although that should be the case? genuine?

Sounds like the 'it isn't meant to be' argument. Perhaps there 'isn't meant to be ' a cure for AIDS? or 'There wasn't meant to be' a vaccination against Polio or Small Pox? or 'There wasn't meant to be' a treatment for Diabetes? Scientists persevere, and 'what isn't meant to be' eventually happens, because it IS 'meant to be'. Now whether it is financially worth our while or not to keep exploring space wwould be another matter to debate. But the fact something hasn't yet been found is definitely not an evidence that it is not meant to be found.

yes there is life, not we have not yet found it and we might never prove its existence, but there is life.
Would all the governments in the world participate in the cover up you think? Come on, they cant keep their mouths shut about anything
