Default Re: Semi-OT: A question on Power Ratios in Sci-fi

Or generally speaking the universe is really freaking huge and what are the odds of an interstellar empire just happening to bump into us?

I mean for all we know our universe is a war torn hell hole, or a rather "earthlike" concept of nations empires and yadda yadda that are sometimes at peace and some times at war.

Either way I doubt they'd need to pay much attention to us just yet anyway, now if and when we ever get space ships we may bump into a few of them and either get squashed or just get out there and form our own little nation states.

Yah never know but I also doubt that every species out there except us is unified like we see in Sci-fi either.
