Re: Alien Life
The way I see it, you've got several billion years with no intelligent life on a planet, followed by a couple million years of intelligent life with no more than Stone Age technology, then a few thousand years ramping up to interstellar travel, and the rest of the existence of the universe to explore.
The odds of a starfaring race encountering a race still inside that tiny window of technological development, where we are now, are so low that I think the aliens would see us as an unprecedented opportunity to study how a pre-interstellar society functions and evolves.
