I thought that, mathematically speaking, with the galaxy basically being infinite that not only are the chances of there being intelligent life out there quite possible, but odds dictate that it's possible that what is happening on our planet everywhere with everyone right now is happening on another planet. That's exactly like ours in every way.

Now what are the odds of another life bearing planet with advanced life forms being close enough to us that we may actually meet before our sun goes supernova or we destroy ourselves?
