There are also hundreds of other theories that can potentially explain it. Like, 100 years really isn't a long time on cosmic scales. Maybe we're late to the party and intelligent life wiped itself out already. Maybe we're early, and we will wipe ourselves out before a new intelligence even figures out where the copy paper is.

For as big as space is, time is bigger.
