Given the enormous probability of other life in the universe, I've
often wondered if the reason that we've never encountered them is
because there are certain technologies and experiments along the path
to knowledge that inevitably end up destroying your planet.

Solar system eating black holes could be just that experiment.

Just a thought, :)
