I’m surprised that all the answers are talking about size and not time.

The Fermi paradox is that the universe is really old and we’ve only been around for a tiny fraction of it. So there should have been at least one intelligent space going civilization what showed up before us and colonized the whole galaxy in less than 100 million years. But we don’t see any. So why is that?
