According to AI, the most distant detectable star is 28 billion light years away. Our sun is 8 seconds away.
In decimal point terms the sun is .0000158 light years away and that star, Earendel, is 28,000,000,000 light years away.
It's just mind boggling what we're learning via the Hubble. Even just looking at the Milky Way.
Life could be so advanced in other places that the equivalent of them looking at us could be like us looking at a couple of cells. They may not have contacted us due to our primitive nature. It could also mean that anybody looking at us is in fact looking at the past. They might see an unhinabited earth or even dinosaurs and say "Nah, don't need that. Nothing there for us."
