No Surprise: Astronomers find no signs of alien tech after scanning over 10 million stars

Astronomers find no signs of alien tech after scanning over 10 million stars

So read a recent headline.

This gets to the Fermi Paradox, namely if there are aliens from space out there, where are they?  While some will make strained arguments, the fact is that there just isn't any evidence of them at all, and with this, there's now even less.

This is answered neatly by an interview of a scientist in the Smithsonian's Air and Space magazine some years ago. There isn't anyone out there.  I.e., there's no life in space.

Most people don't like that idea, but frankly the odds against life being anywhere are profoundly long.  There shouldn't be life here.  Nobody ever has been able to get over the profoundly improbable act of life coming forth from nothing much in the first place nor been able to explain it.  And even if it can be created from elements that are dead by their very nature in some freak way, which seems frankly impossible, keeping that thing alive is almost impossible.  

And yet people don't like that.  

It makes us unique in a disturbing way.  Nothing should be living anywhere at all. And life, no matter how long it might take, shouldn't evolve into a creature like us. .  let alone just one creature like us.  

It would mean that everything is extraordinarily unlikely, and extraordinarily fragile in some ways at the same time.

It also suggests, indeed demands, an outside element to it to make any sense at all.

Which gets to another point.  If there are those who hold themselves to be scientific, or non scientific, who demand the presence of corporal being who are out there somewhere, in spite of the lack of evidence, why do so many of the same people resist the evidence for non corporal beings which is much more abundant?
