Aliens and Deep Space
Inarguably, we have had no confirmed contact with Aliens.
Why ? Because practical deep space travel is clearly impossible.
Do the simple math :
Distance = Speed x Time
Distances are far too great, Speeds are far too slow and
Times would be prohibitively far too long .
Note that our fastest space probe so far is slower than light by a factor of nearly 27,000 .
So a one way trip to our very nearest neighbor Alpha Centauri at only 4.367 LY
would take 118 Millennia, where i Millenia = 1,000 years.
Even in the extreemly unlikely event that speeds could be increased to near light speed, times would still be prohibitively long.
Confirmation : It is very likely that sentient space faring species abound throughout the universe yet again no confirmed contact so far.
