In fact, I wrote and published a sci-fi novel based on the notion that advanced aliens are out there in huge numbers and purposely keeping us oblivious of their existence due to this very reason. I use the concept of dark matter, one of the biggest cosmological mysteries facing scientists to this day, as a possible mechanism the aliens use to hide from us. Details are on my website at http://www.swahmed.com. Fully agreed with Mackay’s comment.

We are in quarantine and rightly so, in my opinion.

As futurologists we can now imagine building selfreplicating machines which propagate into space. The fact that we do not see aliens is due to their non-existence. That is what Nick hopes and I can follow his logic. Any civilization which survives the technological singularity will propaget into space with force and will populate it for good.
