It might be that this would crush us and destroy us by collective despair more fundamentally than finding that there are hostile aliens coming to earth. |
Sounds like a good sci-fi horror novel
But with 200+ billion galaxies I think the opposite, we'll find life everywhere, and despite what our mommies told us, we are not unique or special but actually pretty ordinary.
And why no great space armadas flying around, all of us are pretty planet bound most of us can't exist outside our native planet conditions. And its slooooow to travel trough space.
