Most of the alien civilizations that ever dotted our galaxy have probably killed themselves off already.
That's the takeaway of a new study, published Dec. 14 to the arXiv database, which used modern astronomy and statistical modeling to map the emergence and death of intelligent life in time and space across the Milky Way.

Most of these other civilizations that still exist in the galaxy today are likely young, due to the probability that intelligent life is fairly likely to eradicate itself over long timescales. This is not science.
It is pure speculation, based on numerous assumptions.

Now all we have to do is go out there and gather the evidence.

Well it does destroy.

Oh, on 2nd thought I should not discount San Francisco, CA.

Rubbish indeed. As I read, I knew they couldn’t resist mentioning the “climate change” hoax. And they did.

Dystopian view of this galaxy. Of course they could be dead because the Dark Forest Theory is real; its just not our turn yet. But in another galaxy far away ...

Let me get this straight. We have zero proof of any other civilization ever existing in the Milky Way and now they “theorize” that it’s probably full of dead ones - maybe that’s where the dems got all them extra votes.

Another effort at explaining away the Fermi Paradox. We are alone, and they know it, but can’t accept it because... God becomes a reasonable answer.
