Maybe we are late in the universe, perhaps universe used to be a lively and vibrant place homing millions of civilizations. Now, we stand as the last remnants, hence, possibly the most advanced. (lemmy.world)

There must surely be someone out there in some galaxy or solar system somewhere.

The universe is simply too big for there not to be.

It's insanely big so no matter how small the chances were for our lives to exist someone or something must also have achieved that somewhere.

There's a saying in the astronomy circles. Things happen either once, an infinite number of times, or never.
