34. What is the likelihood that humans on Planet Earth will ever acquire evidence that life exists elsewhere in the Universe? In considering your answer, take into account that life forms have existed on Earth for about 3.5 billion years. For > 99.9% of that time, life on Earth has been composed of single-celled or multicellular forms lacking self-awareness. To address this question, assume that hypothetical life forms on other planets in the Universe develop within the same time frame as that on Earth. Limit your answer to a few bullet points or sentences.
