this market will cuntinue until humanity either makes contact with another intelligent life form; resulting in yes, or until humanity discovers that the visibile / reachable universe containes no other intelligent life forms or civilisations; resluting no
@HarrySeaton8da7 i agree it is very unlikely this never resolves no. Lol. Which is why I bet on no.
The question is will we make contact with another intelligent lifeform. Not, "will we discover intelligent lifeform." Of course I think there is other life out there, but I doubt we will make contact, most definitely not in our life times.
@HarrySeaton8da7 At this point we can be pretty confident any intelligent life would be outside of the Milky Way.
I would put contact with intelligent life in the next 50 years at near 0% given that almost any potential life hosting planet is way more then 50 light years away.
@firstuserhere suppose it would, however I don't think I would count human made intelligence.
