"Advanced civilization"

Whichever way you look at it, humans cannot be the only intelligent creatures in the universe. As far as we know, the universe has existed for at least tens of billions of years, so a reasonable speculation is that there is probably an advanced civilization in the universe that is hundreds of millions or even billions of years ahead of humans, and if that is the case, their level of technology is something that we humans simply cannot imagine.

Intelligent life is rare in the universe, or perhaps it is just wishful thinking on our part. As mentioned earlier, just in the galaxy, there are hundreds of millions of planets that have the natural conditions to nurture life, so a reasonable speculation is that life has evolved on many planets, and even a number of planets have evolved intelligent life.
