Why is there no other life in the Universe?

One of the chunkier presents in the Xmas stocking was Richard Dawkins The Oxford Book of Modern Science Writing. One of the extracts he includes in this rewarding anthology is to do with the power of n.  This is a mathematical constant that sets the relationship between gravity in large objects like planets and stars and the power of electrical field in sub-atomic particles that make up all matter including you and me.
The point of n is that it explains why the Universe is so large and the distances so huge between solar systems.  (If n were smaller gravity would make our planet a thousand times smaller and would crush anything but insects with very strong legs; also stars would be forever colliding with each other). 
Which got me to thinking why it is that we have not found life elsewhere?  After all - our planet is the equivalent of just one millionth of a grain of sand in a whole world of sea sand.  With so many other planets in a Universe  why has the n factor not created intelligent life on one of those other grains of sand?
So I have developed a new theory to explain this anomaly. I call it the Champagne Glass Theory. 

Imagine a flute of champagne in which the bubbles are worlds that have evolved life.  There are millions of them.  But now consider the surface of the liquid.  When one bubble rises through the surface tension and bursts - at that exact nanosecond of time - it is the only bubble bursting on the entire surface of the glass. 
I propose that intelligent life has been in the Universe before us and will appear afterwards.  But during the nanosecond that we are around (just a few million years) we are the only bubble currently bursting.
I am probably misrepresenting Martin Rees who describes the 6 numbers that govern our Universe, but it's a theory that works for me.

you're right!

When we compost garbage and recycle cans, when we clean a room and put coasters under glasses, when we care for everything we touch and touch it reverently, we become the creators of a new universe. Then we sanctify our work and our work sanctifies us.

It is an interesting theory, I believe that the universe has always existed since energy can be lost, maybe the big bang was just the bang of our galaxy.
