Astronomers using data from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescopes and other telescopes have performed an accurate census of the number of galaxies in the Universe. The group came to the surprising conclusion that there are at least 10 times as many galaxies in the observable Universe as previously thought.

It's pretty much inevitable that life has evolved SOMEWHERE else in the universe. Life has been around for about 3.8 Billion years on Earth , but intelligent life that can seek and communicate across the expanses of space have only been around for about a century, a miniscule percent of the time life has been here.
The odds of intelligent life in our neck of the woods at the same time as us is pretty small as well......the universe is just that vast. Intelligent life that has the ability to communicate is the needle in the haystack.
There is some evidence for sort of what you propose.

the way I see this new info.... Is that 10 fold the number of Galaxies just on the data this 14.5 billion year (observable universe) bubble gives us --->>> brings up serious Questioning of the Big Bang Theory itself
my own pet theory is that multiple Big-Bangs happened at once & each Big-Bang center point was more than 14 billion light-years distant from Its' neighbor... and that's why we see galaxies slamming headlong into each other... which should not happen if the big-bang was just one singular event happening at just one single point in the Infinite Vacuum of space-time...
in my pet universe theory, separate universe big-bangs are expanding, and slamming into each other

This was a year ago I remember when it first came out. Or else I'm having a serious mendella effect.

And you forget that it would be very unlikely intelligent life even exists in our galaxy. Meaning we would have to travel to another galaxy to find intelligent life. Meaning it's highly unlikely any intelligent species comes in contact with another.
