YANA.

But seriously, I'm not sure that there is anything out there and it's entirely possible that intergalatic life won't exist at the same time.

Otherwise, if all those planets and solar systems are real, then yes, there is no way life has not developed millions of times on other planets and on many of them, evolved u sing the same laws of physics we have here. In fact, due to the age of the universe, if our perceptions are correct or even close, many life forms must have evolved and advanced past our current technological state millions and millions of years ago.

There are actually many ways.

It is, in fact, the main reason I believe travel beyond the speed of light may actually be impossible. If it was possible, the universe would have pretty much been explored and populated by some other life forms by now.

Few problems:

1) That presupposes that life got to a technological state more advanced than ours somewhere else, which is completely unsupported

2) That presupposes that life would be populated throughout existence, which is also unlikely given how vast it is.

3) That presupposes that we'd know about said life, which is a false assumption. For instance, they might go to great pains to conceal themselves or possibly even exist outside the visible spectrum.
