I'm 100% sure they exist and I'm 99.9% sure there won't be any contact over the next 10 years. It's entirely possible there will never be, though I do hope otherwise.

Yep, 10 years is too short.

The universe is so big there must be life somewhere else. I’m also wondering is there is any more dimensions (4th dimension and upward), where there would be life that we can’t interact with…
