Re: Alien Life
Keep in mind that someone has to be first! It could be us. I don't think it is, but 15 billion years is not really that long. Our star has a lifespan of about 10 billion years and we are about half way through that. The first stars had only hydrogen and helium to work with; only a miniscule amount of heavier elements. The next generation had more heavier elements but was there enough to organize into planets and complex molecules? Our star's (and system's) generation may be the first to have sufficient complexity for life, let alone intelligent life.
We just may be the first!
