For your consideration:

The population of the universe is zero.

The number of intelligent beings in the universe is finite, while the
amount of space in the universe is infinite. Dividing the finite number
by infinity, we get a population-density figure so close to zero as to
be insignificant. Thus, for all intents and purposes, the universe is
uninhabited and any people you meet are probably figments of your
imagination.

-- From "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," by Douglas Adams.
