you do have to hope there's intelligent life somewhere out there

cause there isn't any here. /end misanthropy
its is interesting tho, that there could be that many life bearing worlds. as for the lack of spaceship laser battles perhaps every life bearing planet is functionally identical, save animals and things, with the sapient life forms on them at around same technological level as us. if the G-level stars and resulting planets all formed at the same time, there shouldn't be that huge a difference.
course our system might have aged slower or faster than whatever the 'norm' is, so nightly spaceship laser battles could be heading our way or we are the ones who will kick it all off.
all sorts of amazing possibilities await!

An interesting thought I had that may be worth discussion.

why do you think only those options would be available?

Well just look at the history of Earth. And the cultural/advancement disparity would be FAR greater. *NM*

Could be cultural domination.

In one particular space opera, it's a mix and probably the best situation possible for humans.

Unless their advancement is so great they are VERY ethically enlightened, her fears seem valid.

Yeah but that's just a variant of "Highly advanced aliens who for some reason are totally stupid"

Re: If life formed, why might there not be fossil fuels equivalent to, or greater than, our own? *NM*
