No matter all of the math and the speculation that comes with the thought for example behind the conspiracy theory of area 51 and the government hiding the wonders of space from the world, there is no absolute answer that proves there is actually aliens or other lifeforms in the deeper parts of space. The distance between stars is so great that observation is impossible, we simply do not have the resources in order to do so. Scientists are left with is guessing in a scientific manner, hopefully. Guesses are the best thing that can be done provided with the information collected so far. The closest thing that is used, that is some sort useful, is the Fermi Paradox. The Fermi paradox or Fermi's paradox, named after physicist Enrico Fermi, is the apparent contradiction between the lack of evidence and high probability estimates for example those given by the Drake equation (Used to estimate the odds of finding intelligent life in the universe), for the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations. During the 1980s, many scientists wrote papers about the Fermi Paradox. They considered technical and sociological arguments for why they could not find evidence proving the alien's presence. Some scientists insisted that there was no paradox at all and that the reason we do not see evidence of extraterrestrials is because there is not any evidence (SETI Scientists. "Fermi Paradox."
