For how quickly our technology has progressed and how long the universe has existed for, literally any civilisation that has survived has had the time to fully colonize a significant portion of the Galaxy. But we see nothing, not even a trace. We’ve had civilisation for maybe 4-12k years depending on your definition/sources which is an insanely small fraction of the time the universe has been around. So the paradox is if we got from monkey to space in that amount of time and the universe has been around for millions of times more time, why do we see nothing?
