I’m game. But there are some BIG problems do doing that. The same problems that any other civilization out there would face.

Given the age of the cosmos, they’d have had the same amount of time to get to where they are. Which is a good indicator of why we haven’t heard each other.

My own suspicion is that in this galaxy, civilizations - if they’re there - are spread pretty thin. And if they’re in another galaxy, we’ll never know of them, nor they of us.

Thus Fermi’s question.

I can relate to that and quite another possibility.
