Some Thoughts
Singularity - The term is used in many different contexts, but I prefer to equate the term with Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI singularity refers to a point in time, when one or more AIs become self aware and enter a "runaway reaction" of continuous improvement, causing an "explosion" in intelligence, resulting in a superintelligence that qualitatively far surpasses the combined human intelligence. It is when we ask an "Alexa", is there a G-d and the answer comes back, "There is now!".
Birth of the Universe - The most common theory is called, "The Big Bang", which was the moment 13.8 billion years ago when the universe began as an infinitely dense object that exploded. What caused that explosion in the first place is still unexplained. What is agreed upon, is that the universe is expanding. Whether the universe will eventually contract or whether there are multiple universes (Multiverse) is endlessly debated.
Personally, I am not smart enough to have an opinion on this matter, so I plan to wait until the singularity and will then ask "Alexa".
Fermi Paradox - The Fermi paradox is a conflict between the argument that scale and probability seem to favor intelligent life being common in the universe with the total lack of evidence of intelligent life having ever arisen anywhere other than on Earth. Although, one can easily postulate that there is no intelligent life on this planet, the question is still open on whether there is intelligent life outside this planet.
The universe is much vaster than people have originally imagined. Some astrophysicists estimate, the universe is home to a hundred billion trillion stars, of which many if not most of them have planets revolving around them. In 1995 the first exoplanet was discovered orbiting Pegasus 51, 50 light-years distant from Earth. Since then, there have been more than 4,000 confirmed discoveries of exoplanets in our galaxy alone.
Despite the vastness of space, there are several plausible theories why intelligent life outside the earth may not exist:
Extraterrestrial life is rare or non-existent - Intelligent extraterrestrial life is (nearly) impossible as the conditions needed for the evolution of life with its biological complexity are almost infinitely rare or even unique to Earth.
Periodic extinction by natural events - On Earth, there have been numerous major extinction events that destroyed the majority of complex species alive at the time; the extinction of dinosaurs is the best known example. These are thought to have been caused by events such as impact from a large meteorite or asteroid, massive volcanic eruptions, or astronomical events such as gamma-ray bursts. It may be the case that such extinction events are common throughout the universe and periodically destroy intelligent life.
It is the nature of intelligent life to destroy itself - This is the argument that technological civilizations may usually or invariably destroy themselves before or shortly after developing radio or spaceflight technology.
Although, there are other theories why intelligent life may not exist outside this planet, the answer is patently obvious. Earth is deliberately being avoided to ensure that humans do not infest the rest of the universe.
