I told you where your error lies. I repeat, you do have a very clear picture what your bed contains, there are no unknown factors. It is a different story when it comes to science and the universe. However, you pretend you have the knowledge to determine how unlikely an extraterrestrial explorer is, that the human race is the pinnacle of intelligent life, we know all there is to know and we won't advance further - no matter the timeframe - 1 year, 1000 years, 10.000 years, that's it we are at the end of the line. Why pump money in all those sci fi technologies, if it's not going to lead anywhere? Sure, let's call it a day and be satisfied with what we have.

Hell, the universe propably doesn't exist anyway and we just imagine shit (including aliens).

That's a bit of a hyperbole. Of course we're still pumping money in new technology because we aren't yet able to do stuff that we already know we can do. While we do see our limits right now we're still far away from even reaching that limit.

As I said before in this thread, assuming that there might be things possible that we don't think are possible today is not useful at all. It's just dreaming. If you want to assess reality you have to take the numbers and calculations you can do now. Or else you might as well assume that magic exists and throw all probabilities out of the window. That's just stupid. There are smarter people than us working to expand our understanding but right now it's best to roll with what we know and keep using the scientific method, which has never failed on us and has advanced our knowledge and understanding and will do so in the future.

By forgoing the scientific method we do all of science a disservice. I'd rather believe someone who says "it's highly unlikely because I did the math" than someone who says "it could easily be because of magic!" Because one of those people will advance our understanding even if he is wrong right now and the other one is rambling incoherent nonsense that will lead nowhere.

There is no hyperbole in what i wrote. You simply dont understand the implications. Knowledge and technology build up consecutively. What we learned  over two millenia ago we still use today. 

 

You re the one ignoring the scientific method, believing in an inadequate equation. Real scientist did the math, and what they found is the universe doesnt exist. Ergo, you believe in a magical non existent place called "our universe", the home of unicorns, fairies and FTL aliens.
