Honestly, if FTL exists, wormholes of some sort will very likely need to be involved.
Either that, or our physics have been wrong this entire time and future scientists will look down upon us with pity.
Theres a civilization scale that was created to rank possible types of civilizations that may exist or actually do exist on that scale humans are currently at a .75 Once we achieve colonization we will make it to a 1 on the scale. Then next bid leap would be travel between systems in our galaxy which put us at a 1.25. Galaxy wide travel brings us to a 3 and travel between galaxies + colonization would put us at 3.5.
The highest the scale goes to is a 7 this rank is the point at which a civilization has created an empire out of galaxies and is capable of in theory creating planets its considered the god tier on the scale.
Now if we ever were to come across any race that is a rank 7 we would be nothing but ants to them they would have reached a point were the laws of physics dont even apply to them.
Non-religious people taking an authoritative tone when discussing religious beliefs can be really cringy. Pretty much every religion Iâm familiar with is about the existence of higher order beings.
This is a massive assumption considering we havenât even explored a fraction of a percentage of our own star cluster, let alone the universe.
It would be stupid if we were the only intelligent life, I just canât imagine that is the case. If they have the technology to get to our planet though that would be scary af cuz it means theyâre gods compared to us.

Mostly the cults that created the religions the mentality of being special because of divinity, that whole thing really got a kick start with roman emperors comparing themselves to gods and building statues of themselves.
I believe that weâll eventually discover that life is so abundant in the universe, it wonât even be exceptional.

I think that one of the biggest fallacies we come across as carbon based human beings is that every organism abides by our parameters of existence. Our observable universe is a smidgen of whats really going on. Our observation, which is developed only by means of genetic adaptation for survival, is incredibly lacking in regards to the various wave fields that are abound. So, to address this subject we have to discern a few rules:
- Would life behave as we know it or be subject to different parameters for existence? i.e would they even be carbon based as opposed to a data cloud like sentience.
- Would they even hail from our universe much less another galaxy, star cluster, etc.? One could argue that it might even be more forgiving in accordance with the laws of physics that inter-dimensional travel be more efficient than intergalactic travel thus leading to a higher likelihood of multi-universal sentience coming into contact.
- If they were or are out there, are the predisposed to the same sort of âprimitiveâ mannerisms we are? If a species were to be highly advanced, at least advanced enough to traverse time and space in a large capacity, they would have either never developed a need for distractions like war or other time consuming and resource vacuuming endeavors with no long term communal pay offs or have come from a non-diverse biosphere allowing for homogeneous flourishing.
I do think there is sentience other than ours out and about. The definition of life though requires nuance.
Not really. Itâs just physics. Smaller planets then ours are unlikely to hold onto their climates (hence no life), bigger worlds have far more tumultuous climates by sheer fact of it being under far higher pressures. Ours is as perfect as the chaos of universe can produce.
Hence youâre unlikely to get an alien planet which didnât have to deal with their own climate concerns.
Iâm a little amused by so many people treating Star Trek style âevolution of civilizationsâ like itâs The Factual Truth.
Well not to spoil the fun, but the reality is that even we get Star Trek/Star Wars level of technology, we will never be able to leave our supercluster of galaxies, so will never see more then 0.00002% of the entire universe, so if there is life beyond our galactic neighborhood we are going to miss it.
We base that on what we can confirm the possibility of say methane based life could exist as much as carbon. There are many elements make up the human body but which is needed to create it would also depend on environment.
Which is why we have been focused on the goldilocks zone when looking its our current best known chance to find it.
We could actually if we could colonize planets there are entire planets made of methane as an example its more a question of fuel sources once you get off world.
If you have a way to power a ship from a-b and back your pretty much focused on building better more powerful systems to shorten the trip.
Given the hundreds of billions of galaxies in the universe, each with hundreds of billions of stars, and that planetary formation is a consequence of stellar evolution, itâs numerically absurd for life to exist only on this one, blue marble.
Is that life intelligent? I see less and less of that on my own planet, so I canât say.
I believe there is but I know they sure would not want anything to do with us. I would beg them to take me with them.

Monkeyâs Paw: Granted, you now exist in an unbreathable atmosphere and all biologies are so different you cannot gain any nourishment from them.
Iâd just hope they fix things here a bit without sterilizing the human infestation.
Where they take me canât be worse and more of mess than where we are now lol
Yeah, lifeâs been a bit stingy with resources for everyone lately. Iâm rooting for you.
