>>7533954Indeed, that's what I'm talking about.
>>7533930See, everything comes to the scale of space again.
We can observe galaxies 'billions' of light years away from us, but we can't see the wildlife of these exoplanets near us. We can't even tell the exact color of these planets, if they are green, containing lush forests, or blue, possibly filled with water, or whatever.
Well, if we share links to the wiki, here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nearest_terrestrial_exoplanet_candidatesEven these are just "candidates" for being Earth-like, meaning we can't tell if there's any wildlife there or not. But with the possibility of having 'Earth-like' life being pretty high.
And as for the possible sentient life species that "must make themselves present to us" — well, again, they are most certainly, if they are capable of space travel, are just passing by us not even knowing we are there, because even in the scale of our own Solar system the Earth is like a grain of sand compared to the beach.
If Earth was 1 millimeter wide, the Solar system would be just a bit less the size of a football field.
Seen Earth at night pics? I just hope someday humanity makes a telescope with a resolution high enough to be able to discover and observe something like picrelated somewhere else.
Imagine what an uproar, at least in the scientific societies, it will make.
