For my friend... We noted lessons learned from our familiar in One Man's Best Friend Part 2 and that feisty feline's seeming ability to leave us clues regarding a potential hereafter in Believe It or Not . Which we followed up in A Ticket to Ride? and now following up on and concluding Fermi's Paradox?...
With a current estimate of 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe, and assuming that most of them are like ours, as in 200 billion stars etc. That means 36,000 planets in the observable universe of which we can assume 42% (5.82/13.82) existed after the 8 billion year incubation period, leaving a little over 15,000 possibilities spread over the last 5.82 billion years.
"Coexistence? Over that time span and distance, for all those ET's, UFO's, grays and little green men, good luck out there." - Fermi's Paradox?
Hypothetical: let's say that guesstimate above and the question that Fermi's paradox begs, where is everybody?, are true. If so, we could be one of the EARLY intelligent life forms. Suns now have a longer life span, with most all the necessary elements for creating life -- i.e., [suppose there are] greater chances of intelligent life and its surviving long enough to develop the technology necessary.
We could be coming into the golden age of intelligent life with the persistence and technology. Given that scenario, it could also be possible that we are in a sim, created by aliens or ourselves, not in the past or present, but in the FUTURE. Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive!
There are many tricks we can use to reduce the computational power needed to simulate a universe to a degree we can handle. The most obvious being: Don't render anything no-one is looking at. If you feel a slight tingling sensation in your body, this might be because you are familiar with Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and the observer...
