Our earth is only 4 billion years old in a universe that is 14 billion years old. What could a species learn, create, and do that has a 2 or 3 billion year head start on us? what about 10?

they probably have better memes.
I'm of the boat that there probably was life, but nothing advanced enough for long distance space travel and communication. Most planets are gaseous or liquid so it would have been sea-like creatures who wouldn't have been able to survive on land anyways let alone space.
Before early stars started to die there weren't the complex chemicals and elements that we think are necessary for life to exist. In fact one of the only reasons they think earth can support life is due to a probable neutron star collision that happened in our area of space before the sun existed.
Yea Earth is very fortunate to be in it's current position in space lol. The conditions for life are very specific and somehow it got us here like 10b years later.
Ooh, fascinating. Do you happen to know where I can read more about that neutron star collision? (Found an article, but no mention of a link to life)
I haven't been able to rewatch the entire video to confirm, but I'm fairly certain this video discusses it.
