So why haven't they come calling? Assuming no FTL travel it could just be that they are far away and don't even know of our existance. If lasting technological civilizations are fairly rare (say a handful per galaxy) and there is not FTL, it could easily be that there is none of them (even there colonies) anywhere near us. Even if such civilizations are so rare there could be a trillion of them in the universe, but the universe is a stageringly big place. Definitely, plausible reasons......although I would assume that we will discover FTL travel in the next 500 years. I have wondered if the reason is that planets supporting life all developed at pretty much the same pace and so civilizations on those planets are simply at the same stage as we are. ted
