Hello?

The universe is immense. 
Literally billions upon billions of planets capable of sustaining life are out there.
The universe is homogeneous. 
Physical laws that apply here, apply everywhere.
The universe is old. 
Old enough where the physical laws that caused processes that resulted in intelligent life here have had time enough to develop intelligent life throughout the universe.
Our greatest mystery then:
Where is everybody?

  1. Physical laws that apply here, apply everywhere.
    True, but it is possible that everything is unique, even the conditions 4 billion years ago.
    I am open to the possibility of there being not only one me, but one earth like our
    Earth.
