Milky Way may bear 100 million life-giving planets
there are some 100 million other places in the Milky Way galaxy that could support complex life, report a group of university astronomers in the journal Challenges. They have developed a new computation method to examine data from planets orbiting other stars in the universe. "This study does not indicate that complex life exists on that many planets. We're saying that there are planetary conditions that could support it. Origin of life questions are not addressed -- only the conditions to support life," http://www.sciencedaily.c...14/06/140609100725.htm

[Aliens are] always seen in Arizona, Scotland, and New Mexico. Another thing to consider is that all three of those destinations are good places to play golf. So there's possibly some connection between aliens and golf.

Human beings began to see flying saucers and alien life forms in great numbers when we started to think about flying to the moon and beyond. 100 million possible planets and somehow no one is advanced enough to be visiting us. What are the odds. Any scientists in here?

Odds don't come into it. we've only been creating radio signals for just over 100 years, so anyone further away than 100 light years, even if they have the technology to hear us AND they're actively looking for aliens, wouldn't even know we're here. Assuming someone on a planet 100 light years away hears us as you're reading this AND they decide to come visit us AND they have lightspeed technology (the fastest we believe it is possible to travel) then you're looking at a minimum of 2114 before they get here. Even if they hear us and immediately send a radio message to say "Hi folks, your BouyTax is overdue and we're coming to collect..." We won't receive the message until at least 2114.

Actually they do ... but saying anything in a place like this about "foreign music" and "experimental" and "alien" ideas is an oxymoron ... and no one believes it! Few people have an ear for something that does not conform to what you already KNOW! Same thing in the ProgArchives place. Everyone is too damn stuck on their top ten to know the difference! It's the same thing when we foreigners say something about different music's in our country and guys here (or PA) immediately say ... it's not rock'n'roll ... or ... it's not progressive! They still don't see it as "music". So that suggests that they wwould never understand, appreciate and be able to listen to something "alien". As for golf ... never played it or hit an alien with it, so not too sure!
As a wise Guy once stated from his holy chapala ... none of the hits, none of the time ... prevents you from becoming just another turkey in the middle of all the other turkeys!

Geez, the last person I expected to come along and deflate perfectly good groundless speculation with logic is Cowbell Karyn. Everybody knows that aliens possess technology to bend the space-time continuum and appear instantly anywhere they like. Usually, over crop fields in England. Makes sense, given that all aliens speak fluent English. That's why they don't land in Scotland.

As you've brought up time travel... you can use it to prove that either the life span of our universe is finite, (it will end at some point) or time travel will never ever exist...
If the universe were infinite AND time travel is possible then at some point it will be created/invented and with an infinite future to come back from our current time should be totally over-run by time travellers, which it isn't.
Therefore either, the universe is finite, or time travel is impossible, or both.

Traveling interstellar distances without messing with space/time is problematic for a number of reasons. But if you can mess with space/time - and thus come whenever you want in time - why in the $%$%$@ would anyone want to visit us now? 
 In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

Because if the universe were infinite there would be an infinite amount of time to %$&£ up and come here by accident, so we should be over-run by an infinite amount of time travellers complaining that they never intended to be here... It does explain uBubba... but where are all the rest?

The reason we can't get to other worlds is simple. It's by design you see. If we could reach our distant cousins amongst the stars the first thing we'd do is build a McDonald's there. After that, we'd likely try and figure out how to kill them - just in case. Eventually the politicians would find an excuse to try and kill them and steal their resources.
No, we're much better on our own. The aliens have already been here and said sod these fools, they have no moral compass, we're off.

There's a guestimated infinite level of tones as well as tones above and below the narrow spectrum discernible by the human ear (even dogs have a higher listening range). So the possibilities are as endless as space/time/continuum itself (itselves? themselves?)

Coincidentally...
Just the other night, I was out in the back garden doing a bit of stargazing when, to my utter amazement, I saw a flying saucer land in the field on the other side of my fence.
After a few moments, a door opened in the side of the UFO and an alien emerged from within. He caught sight of me and made his way over to where I was stood.
I extended a hand in a gesture of greeting and said, "Hello, and welcome to planet Earth."
He looked me in the eye, and in perfect English he replied, "Feck arse sh1t feck why the feck don't you fecking well feck off and arse stop fecking bothering me knob sh1t with such fecking stupid fecking nonsense arse you dozy fecking twat!"
'How rude' I thought...

You know, even as a small boy, it seemed silly and somewhat arrogant to suppose that we were the only planet to have life, let alone intelligent life. There are thousands of galaxies like our own Milky Way.
We've been to the Moon. Voyager has only recently left our own solar system.
In the big picture, we have explored the dust on a gnats butt.
We're not entirely certain others haven't been here, but we for damn sure haven't been there.

There's an interesting view of aliens' interest in Earth in the late great Iain Banks' novel 'Transition':
The significance of a perfect solar eclipse is the unusual coincidence of the moon being the right size and distance from the earth to almost exactly block the sun, producing the amazing visual displays we see.
It has been postulated that this may be rare in the universe and would potentially attract alien tourists. Hence why eclipses may be the best places to see aliens.

Odds don't come into it. we've only been creating radio signals for just over 100 years, so anyone further away than 100 light years, even if they have the technology to hear us AND they're actively looking for aliens, wouldn't even know we're here.
In their legends very, very many cultures have something that could be understood as alien influence. And those are thousands of years old at best. For example the american hopi-natives have a legend of kachina-people (not sure about the spelling), who flew around on shield-like vessels. Such heritage can be found all over the world. In the stellar scale one might think the question is not whether there is intelligent life, but whether it exists at same tenth of a second (=10 million years) as we.
