Comment on Either the aliens have listed Earth as a no-contact planet or we are probably alone in the universe.

It boils down to one thing let’s say they find us or we find them. They set out on a trip to us traveling at near C speed. By the time they reach us we may not be around anymore as thousands of years have passed. The universe is so vast not only do catch them in space but also in time. The lack of contact is just a series of near misses.

I love this! This is exactly what I think too. It’s just a matter of misses.
Like space-time is so mind boggling that the idea of aliens is most likely just us from a time before but we will never know because by the time they (we) return, we’re already gone. Some sort of paradoxical loop
