this page is existing permalink for the following question:
If aliens exist, they might kill us as per the dark forest hypothesis; but if we are alone in the universe, then if we die, that's it, no more life. Which is more terrifying: the possibility that aliens exist, or the possibility that we are alone in the universe?i think the latter is the true one because i usually feel alone in my own home. it's not really terrifying to me though, because i've gotten used to it; so the aliens existing would be scarier.
