N could be 0 or it could be 100 trillion. All that's really understood is the Universe is really big and the more we look at it.. we realise its bigger than really big, based on light speed to us we only see like a speak of sand at the beach.

that's actually the conclusion of the research, the more they plugged in more reasonable distributions of uncertainty, the more the equation proves we are alone.
but the Universe is really big so of course there is intelligent life somewhere else isn't proven either, in fact, all the attempts to prove that have been futile. + the Gaian Bottleneck reveals how difficult and time consuming it is for life to reach intelligence stage. Life will go extinct first, usually, it shows.
