  8.  @dankmemes7658  Let me clarify: Our current understanding of life suggests that life forms are common in the universe. We don’t have conclusive evidence yet, but the scientific logic points towards life being a common thing. For example, it is estimated that the probability of life occurring on Earth was a 10 to the 47th power chance of happening. For reference, there are roughly 10 to the 47th power of water molecules here on Earth. So we have a 10 to the 47th probability occurrence, with a 10 to the 47th power of water molecules relentlessly interacting with other molecules, over billions of years. That’s a lot of chances for a very improbable event to occur. It only needs to occur once as well. So to our understanding, Abiogenesis isn’t a Great Filter. So that means the Great Filter is likely the transition from consciousness, to civility consciousness. The formation of complex artificial bodies. Governments, militaries, buildings, ideas and technology. So our understanding of alien science states that it is extremely unlikely that other higher intelligent species exist around us. Earth and our solar system is exceptionally unique. It’s likely that the extraordinarily stable conditions of our solar system has nurtured our complex life. So since science thinks there isn’t life close to us, we’ve started searching much further out. If there was any civilizations capable of communicating with us or reaching us. We should be seeing their signatures everywhere. For example, it’s formulated that it will take humanity 2 million years to fully colonize the galaxy, assuming we don’t go extinct on Earth or our solar system first. 2 million years is a really short time on cosmic scales. Therefore we can assume other species in our position would have sprawled out to their entire galaxy, or potentially thousands of galaxies. We should be seeing artificial voids from them harvesting entire stars or building stellar engines, Dyson swarms, etc. Instead, we see only naturally explainable phenomena, everywhere we look. This leads to several possible conclusions. 1.) We are the only life. 2.) We are early to the life party. 3.) We are late to the life party. 4.) Other species are at a similar level of development to us and neither is sufficiently advanced enough to make contact. 5.) Complex life is such a rarity that it could be seperated by billions of light years. 6.) Life might transcend this reality if it’s determined to be possible and if it’s determined that it’s too difficult and dangerous to traverse the immense distances in this universe. If Quantum mechanics can prove its claims on parallel universes, multiverses, alternate dimensions or higher dimensions. Then it’s likely we as humans will aim to explore these worlds before we explore our own universe. Why go through the dangerous and painstakingly slow process of universal exploration, if you can simply portal into another world. So I’d like to end with that I understand our modern scientific thinking is incomplete. Our determinations on the probabilities of any of the above stuff could be completely wrong. But it’s the best we have, based on the most supported theories and achievable evidence. It’s why I love funding scientific projects because they have the possibility of revolutionizing the world. Even though our thoughts on alien probabilities are likely wrong. It’s amazing how well humans actually understand our universe. Granted we still don’t know so much. But the stuff we do know, we have a masterful understanding of it. Therefore it’s really odd that we can’t find any signs of intelligent life beyond Earth. What is it we’re missing? Time and effort will hopefully tell.

  9.  @dankmemes7658  I LOVE the Barrow’s Scale! I don’t know how realistic a Type 5- civilization would be. But a type 4- seems possible. I’m starting to become a believer in many worlds more by the day. I really hope they can devise some conclusive experiments to prove it. The recent experiment that suggests that anti matter is matter moving backwards in time is promising. It seems to indicate that that our universe is actually two mirrored universes, where time flows in opposite directions away from the singularity. The time universe would contain matter. The anti time universe would contain anti matter. This also suggests a sad conclusion. We unlikely could ever go and explore this anti universe, as our biological body would cause the largest explosion in the universe if we came into contact with an equal quantity of anti matter. This other universe is supposedly made almost entirely out of anti matter. So unless we can find a way to reverse our time, therefore our matter polarity, we won’t be able to visit. That’s assuming we could even enter that universe. If the anti universe is on the other side of the singularity responsible for the Big Bang. How do we cross that? We don’t even know which point in the universe the singularity happened at, because the Big Bang appears to be the expansion of spacetime in every direction, from every single point. So as you can see, there’s a lot of unanswered questions that comes along with this experiment and it creates a demand for many more expiements that are likely impossible to achieve.
