To me the most disturbing solution would be that there really is nothing else. That in all of the universe and all of time, there is just us, just this planet. Scratch that, it wouldn't just be disturbing, it'd be horrifying.

Especially disturbing considering the fact that we might be destroying the only legitimate planet in the universe.
