How many intelligent alien civilizations are out there among the hundreds of billions of stars in the spiral arms of the Milky Way? According to a new calculation, the answer is 36.

I haven't read the articles, but after learning more about the various forces and energies which are fairly abundant in our galaxy and the universe I'm less sure that there are any other advanced lifeforms in our galaxy or the universe. I definitely believe that the physical nature of our universe does tend towards creating life, but unfortunately there are a lot of other forces in our universe that easily disrupt and/or destroy life.
 
I trust in the theories of Carl Sagan:
Core Research - The Carl Sagan Center for Research at the SETI Institute
I used to share my bandwidth with SETI years ago. They used it to search for radio signals.

"The SETI Institute’s first project was to conduct a search for narrow-band radio transmissions that would betray the existence of technically competent beings elsewhere in the galaxy. Today, the SETI Institute uses a specially designed instrument for its SETI efforts – the Allen Telescope Array (ATA) located in the Cascade Mountains of California. The ATA is embarking upon a two-year survey of tens of thousands of red dwarf stars, which have many characteristics that make them prime locales in the search for intelligent life. The Institute also uses the ATA to examine newly-discovered exoplanets that are found in their star’s habitable zone. There are likely to be tens of billions of such worlds in our galaxy. Additionally, the Institute is developing a relatively low-cost system for doing optical SETI, which searches for laser flashes that other societies might use to signal their presence." https://www.seti.org/seti-institute/Search-Extraterrestrial-Intelligence


"All in all, Hubble reveals an estimated 100 billion galaxies in the universe or so, but this number is likely to increase to about 200 billion as telescope technology in space improves."

At times, I'm sure there are few advanced lifeforms on our home planet. As for forces that disrupt and/or destroy life, I believe the absence of Earthlings may work in other world's favor. (-;
 
Take the videos that appear to be very convincing against the incredible distances from Earth to stars/planets outside our solar system and it then seems impossible. Bottom line I will not live long enough to learn the truth because it is a long way off.

Considering theories behind wormhole travel along with different dimensions, extra-terrestrial life seems absolutely possible and most believable.
 
I have a thought that we are on different 'dimensions' at different stages of out life, String Theory, which I liken to the vibrations you might get when strumming a guitar, (one wave after the other) 🤔. So we are being born in one dimension, at a different age in another and so on and so on. That's why I wonder about the concept deja vous. I think neurologists explain that away by our brain taking a second or less to compute what one has just seen or done??? So perhaps it is only us that exists in this vast universe.
However I've read Erich Von Daniken and listened to David Icke and tried to get to grips with his book, and it is quite compelling that there is extra- terrestrial life and they are here among us.
On a lighter note, sometimes the behaviour of my o/h leaves me to wonder 'what planet he's on!!! 😃
 
I'm a non believer in life like Earth elsewhere. For me Earth is a fluke in the universe. The combinations that created the Earth and life on Earth are unique. And it's just a temporary thing. Not as much fun as the alien concept, but there you have it.
