a lot can happen in a billion years

Not saying it's impossible, just extremely improbable for the universe to be so deafeningly silent if life really can evolve

In a galactic sense Radio waves are fucking slow(766mph). Any civilization that had developed radio would have to have done so thousands upon thousands of years ago.

We've also found bacteria on other planets before, which, does count as alien life.

It's not a question of whether or not alien life exists. We know it does. The question is regarding civilizations.

We know that planets habitable by creatures like us are are fairly rare also.

The closest habitable exoplanet is 4.25 light years away.

edit: wtf did i get that 766 mph from?

that's not right

radio travels at light speed

Yeah I was gonna say

yeah, that's sound waves that are 766mph

bad search string

We never did find bacteria on other planets dude, that was all hoaxes or just plain old contamination

A few times misinterpretations of data

I belief that when looking for aliens we are only looking for shit that we can perceive and that's understandable, however when we look at the world from the point of something small like fungus, it becomes clear why we seem to be so lonely in this universe

If you look at fungi on blue cheese, you'll realize it's the *only* fungi on the cheese, and that's what we are maybe

All of life on earth could just be the fungi on this universe that's going to get eaten in a few billion years because we populate just enough of the cheese for it to be good and some fucking alien nigga is gonna eat our whole universe on a slice of pizza

An ant has no absolute idea what shit like electromagnetic waves are, there could very well be entire other universes constructed withing the electromagnetic world yet we fail to see it because of on how huge of a scale it is to us and we will most likely never perceive it

That's why we haven't met any other life forms

Because the fact that we are in the top layer of reality, over microbes, over atoms and other shit is just such a small chance compared to what we could be

Look at the life of a cell of penicillin fungi on blue cheese

It's whole life cycle is a few years

At most

Well not

Depends how long it takes to make the cheese

But anyway that cheese is the very beginning of its universe and also the very end

Simply put it: the chance we are experiencing the universe at the top is just plain microscopic

Look at how microbes are simple compared to humans

Now imagine it the other way

If we were the microbes with our level of complexity, some alien could be so extremely complex we wouldn't even be able to wrap our little minds around it

He could just start us and an entire another evolution of sorts by putting us in another Petri dish, another universe if you say

You know, just a few people's worth would be enough to kick-start everything else

The entire development of technology might just be a thing that all the carbon based lifeforms go through

Like stages of life of fungi

We're going to Mars now, in a few decades we'll most likely be having cities there

It's like we're releasing spores

my bro got left this voicemail yesterday while he was working

You had the absolute greatest opportunity to make this into a shitpost

But no
