I predict we’ll eventually learn that none of them have life, and we’ll likely never visit a single one.

If “life” is bacterium then I’d be surprised if there wasn’t a lot of it out there in the galaxy.

If “life” means something you might want to have as a pet — or even converse with — then probably not so much.

And frankly, if it’s habitable — then I’d just as soon we be the first life to arrive. Simplifies things.

I hope you don’t think we know everything there is to know in physics

I feel quite the opposite- that one day we will find faster-than-light travel.

I am betting it is in area 51 on the vehicles bob lazaar said he worked on, with the anti-gravity drive (yes I am serious)

Safe guess.

“and we’ll likely never visit a single one.”

The Voyager space craft launched in the 70’s have just recently left our solar system. If they had been sent on an intercept of Alpha Centauri, the next closest star, they would arrive in just less than 100K years.
