No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century That human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space No one could have dreamed that we were being scrutinized As someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water Few men even considered the possibility of life on other planets And yet, across the gulf of space Minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded this Earth with envious eyes And slowly and surely They drew their plans against us

Suppose there ARE other beings out there…

Why is it always assumed that they would be way more advanced as we Are?

Assumed astronomical time frames are such that it is assumed that extraterrestrial life would either not yet be intelligent or have been intelligent for much longer than humans have. /evolutionthink

As a practical matter nobody is colonizing alien solar systems. Based on the (putative) impossibility of exceeding the speed of light, even to implement two-way communication is just too hard. And the payoff is hard to envision.
