Fermi Paradox

/thread

fermi's paradox doesn't factor in time too well

[suave2000]

that seems cool and all but i don't see the point in spending so much time and money into researching that.

Brb let's make a super detailed map totally outside of our reachable scale it will only cost a couple mill. It's like ants making a super detailed map of the solar system.

Brb priorities of peace, instead of trying to deal with chit outside our planet we should get our chit together on fixing stuff in this one, at this point if we ever manage to get to another planet we're just going to phuck that one up too

[LiftLaughLust]

We cant even imagine how the stuff far into the future will possibly work,today, just like back in the past people had no idea how some of the stuff that is obvious to us now, works. I really believe that there is literally nothing that couldnt be done and its just a matter of knowledge. How do you think the earth will look in 1000 years from now?


Anyways i thought this was also interesting to post >

The universe is 13.7 BILLION years old, let that sink in.




Also timelife of the existence of life on earth

for the last 3.6 billion years, simple cells (prokaryotes);
for the last 3.4 billion years, cyanobacteria performing photosynthesis;
for the last 2 billion years, complex cells (eukaryotes);
for the last 1.2 billion years, eukaryotes which sexually reproduce
for the last 1 billion years, multicellular life;
for the last 600 million years, simple animals;
for the last 550 million years, bilaterians, water life forms with a front and a back;
for the last 500 million years, fish and proto-amphibians;
for the last 475 million years, land plants;
for the last 400 million years, insects and seeds;
for the last 360 million years, amphibians;
for the last 300 million years, reptiles;
for the last 200 million years, mammals;
for the last 150 million years, birds;
for the last 130 million years, flowers;
for the last 60 million years, the primates,
for the last 20 million years, the family Hominidae (great apes);
for the last 2.5 million years, the genus Homo (including humans and their predecessors);
for the last 200,000 years, anatomically modern humans.

Notice how the evolution started out real slow and became faster and faster. Will humans evolve further? Is there an end to hit?

And im here waxing my *******

[tricepwarrior]

Yet it's still people who believe life only exists here.

I'm pretty sure that ideology was squashed years ago. It's pretty universally agreed that there is a high chance of other intelligent life forms..

interstellar travel and wormholes, black holes, rocket travel will all be outdated means to travel once we can finally decode the universe as 1's and 0's, then be able to manipulate those 1's and 0's to the point where we can just plot out location to somewhere else without having to actually "travel" in conventional ways.

i like to think one day we'll be able to plot and plan out location much like you would in a 3d pixel grid box, or sandbox.

if we are in a sim, this could be true and we wont need to travel by rocket or light travel

[Shiden11]

I believe I am all that exists and I created all of you in my brain to keep myself from being lonely. The real irony is that I don't even like most of you but I cannot unmake you.

GBS was ahead of his time. Hopefully we'll stop being so arrogant and dumb before we manage to phuck things up outside our planet.

Assuming light travels very slowly in space, and when we look at the stars at night, we are sometimes looking back billions of years (because light takes a very long time to reach us).

What if other people in another galaxy could zoom in on us, they would see dinosaurs still moving around on the earth

[TedyP]

Am convinced we are living inside a brain or at least some kind of organism.

I'm all for the 'horton hears a who' idea.

That the entire universe is in one tiny speck of dust in a bigger world and more tiny universes are scattered in the dust that we have in this world. and it just keeps going and going and going

[stonepony33]

So sick.

[Elmorroalto]

So uhm do we eat the blue pill or the red pill?

[CellTrek]

enjoy life brahs. dont think about this stuff cause you will never know the answer

but it's so cool to think about

[Ecto_FU]

We'd total would have met some aliens if we live closer to the city.

Fukin milky way out in the sticks

[DoctorHitch]

Ayy lmao we are one big ****ing mistake brahs, but one good ****ing mistake.

[pieceofdebri79]

Assuming light travels very slowly in space

Strong assumption.

[PenorBrahNoHomo]

So many armchair philosophers/scientists. Unless you have or are working towards a degree in a related field don't bother piping up. Most of you guys are thick as phuck srs.

Im pretty sure they would have already figured that possibility out if they could zoom in on us lol.

[Come at me bro]

Yet it's still people who believe life only exists here.

Here's the deal, light can only travel so fast

When another planet looks at us they are seeing millions of years in the past

Brb why would aliens want to come to a dinosaur planet only???

And if they can actually see us to make this possible then they have godly advanced tech

If u could travel faster than the speed of light. And had extremely advanced telescopes.

You could view the past Just travel x amount of light years away from earth (while traveling faster than light at whatever x rate) and look thru telescope.


Brb I see myself typing this post.

[oe7Leo]

size is irrelevant

you could fit an entire universe into a pinpoint black hole

and no one would know

The last question was asked for the first time, half in jest, on May 21, 2061, at a time when humanity first stepped into the light. The question came about as a result of a five dollar bet over highballs, and it happened this way...

What do the 1s and 0s correspond to? And no, we're not in a simulation. Only on the misc can I find bro cosmology.

[Travis99]

In b4 were just a neuron

[therealistwat]

What if it's like Big O and there is a demuirge and existence is a simulation and the demiurge "resets" at the end for it to continue again.

What if we're like ones like in Prometheus that are supposed to create new life on other planets?

[VabaX]

In b4 were just a neuron

a neuron that takes 500million years for a signal to traverse? Yeah, fukk off. If the whole universe is a brain, then since the dawn of time, there would have been about 10 brainwaves in total by now. Wow such brain. Very intelligent. 10 ****ing brainwaves....

have you ever thought of relativity?

brb 10 million years for us could be 1 millisecond for the giant we live in *******
