Even radio signals are governed by physics, and feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, their top possible speed is the speed of light.   Even if life were in our neighborhood it is a relatively challenging for us to be able to hear them.   If life is further away from that, it’s even harder. Now, that’s just radio signals that’s not actual travel.

But, for the moment, let’s assume that faster than light travel is possible. Even with that ability it is extraordinarily unlikely that anyone would actually stumble onto our little rock.   The math is actually against us. It’s not the astronomical amount of stars which may or may not have plants that can sustain life that we can interact with, it is even the more astronomical amount of empty space that would have to be surveyed before you could stumble onto another viable life form.   That is the unspoken fault in the “well there’s so many stars, at least one of them has to have a planet that can support life” argument. Yeah there’s a lot of stars but there’s more nothing.
