When we look at the predictions for how long this universe should exist in the state that allows for life and for stars and planets that we find in our galaxy, it tends to be about 100 billion years. This universe is only 14 billion years old. WE are an early intelligent life and WE get to be those aliens in saucers given a little forethought.
