    Maybe there is, maybe there isn’t.

    The odds of existing within a region close enough to find each other is rather small. The odds of existing during the same time period in history are infinitely approaching zero. Humans have existed for a very short amount of time, and we’re currently more likely to wipe ourselves out than we are to leave the solar system in a spacecraft.

    That doesn’t mean life couldn’t possibly exist, just that it’s extremely unlikely that we will ever cross paths.
