    Because the chances of Earth being a one-off are vanishingly small given how large we know the universe to be.

        Given how insanely vast the universe is it is still a near statistical certainty their is currently other sapient life out there. The is also an extremely high chance that other sapient civilization lived and went extinct in many different parts of the universe already.

        The universe is only about 13 bn years old with an at least 100 bn year habitable lifespan. We showed up pretty early, don’t you think? What’s to stop others from evolving?

        What about it indeed? What we know is that time and space are the same thing per Special Relativity. What now?

        If you want your mind bent out of shape, study Einstein’s equations and come to admit that large-scale reality doesn’t play nice with our intuitions, based as they are upon small-scale physics on our own little planet.
