The intermediate ones (still in corporeal form of some kind), fast asleep I reckon, tucked up in their cryogenic chambers for millions of years as they travel round the galaxy in pre-planned synchronised waves first outwards and then reconverging to compare notes. That would explain why they don't bother with radio signals or any detectable activity - What would be the point when their plans are already decided and they are in transit anyway?
If you think about it, once all physical laws are established and experimentally confirmed to theoretical limits (and those do exist), then all that remains in the way of novelty and exploration is nature's variety, and that means having to up sticks and turn nomadic. An alien civilisation that stayed put would inevitably end up in terminal decline sooner or later.
Assuming (as most physicists do) that dark matter exists, if there wasn't such a heck of a lot of it (more so than Baryonic matter), one might be tempted to speculate that it is simply exhaust from innumerable interstellar space ships, circling the Galaxy for aeonsWork in the public sector?
