Point of order. Astronomers and Physicists don't even agree, anymore on the
essential facts. Age of the Cosmos, for example. For me, I'll go with the
quasi-mystical conclusion that we inhabit a Neural Net, aka, The Universe is
Autodidactic. Feel free to make it all dead empty, or, filled with Saucer men.
Yes we can be happy with a majority conclusion. Unless, its based on improved
equipment, it all starts smelling like a religion JC, but it now has the aroma
of snippets of several faith. Meh!

I could explain the existence of no Dyson spheres in the Milky Way, and I could
explain the existence of many billions, but I could not explain the existence
of just a few thousand; the idea that we just happen to exist during the tiny
sliver of time in which that would be the case seems too improbable to
consider.

I think dust could explain the Tabby star observations much better and
certainly more simply than ET can. It's mind boggling to suppose that we are
alone in the universe, and it's mind boggling to suppose that we are not, but
one of those things must be true, and I think one of them is significantly more
likely than the other.

And perhaps a simpler explanation is that ET does not exist because we are the
first, after all the observable universe is finite in both space and time so
somebody's got to be first.

I think so, too!
