Let me explain. Faced with the complete lack of evidence that another planet is harboring life somewhere in spite of the high probability that a form of life is emerging in the universe (what is commonly known as the Fermi Paradox), scientists are regularly made new hypotheses to explain the phenomenon. </p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmb86G4Nptnis5fyQULjddEKhgqvoFq4nQu3xqFBgKreg1/main.png\" /></p>\n<p> One of them is the transcension, developed by John Smart. It suggests that the process of evolution of our universe leads all advanced civilizations of the universe towards the same ultimate goal, that of transcending our space-time world through virtual worlds created by us.</p>\n<p>According to Smart, as a species moves into its advanced technology stage, it develops virtual environments in computers that are infinitely smaller than the ones we use today. Thus, the advanced species do not colonize the outer space, because such a process seems obsolete to them. On the contrary, they tend to colonize the interior space.</p>\n<p>This theory is based on progress in virtual reality. It implies in particular that we have never met our extraterrestrial neighbors, because they would have abandoned the space conquest in favor of virtual reality.</p>\n<p>If this theory were true, then we could reasonably answer your question in the affirmative. </p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"p3y9shhhx","appParentAuthor":"a3d","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
