We know this for 2 reasons:<br>
<br></div><div>1) This picture is of things as they were only a few hundred million years after the Big Bang, and that's not enough time for life, much less complex intelligent life, to evolve.<br><br></div><div>2) There wasn't even enough time for stars to cook up the elements that life needs, life Carbon or Oxygen or Nitrogen; what you're looking at in pictures like that are just Hydrogen and Helium and a very very small trace of Lithium. And you can't do much interesting chemistry with nothing but that. <br>
