NASA: "Earth's Human Civilization Came Early in the Evolving Universe"

NASA researchers say that future Earths are more likely to appear inside giant galaxy clusters and also in dwarf galaxies, which have yet to use up all their gas for building stars and accompanying planetary systems. By contrast, our Milky Way galaxy has used up much more of the gas available for future star formation.

A big advantage to our civilization arising early in the evolution of the universe is our being able to use powerful telescopes like Hubble to trace our lineage from the big bang through the early evolution of galaxies. The observational evidence for the big bang and cosmic evolution, encoded in light and other electromagnetic radiation, will be all but erased away 1 trillion years from now due to the runaway expansion of space. Any far-future civilizations that might arise will be largely clueless as to how or if the universe began and evolved.

Yep, about day 6.

[Fungi]

Pure speculation and fanciful conjecture.

We should leave them a message on a flash drive.

Yes, that's right. not only are we the smartest civilization right now, but we are the smartest of all time !! future civs just won't get it like we do.

[Moonman62]

Well, this is one explanation for the Fermi Paradox.

[samtheman]

I suspect it’s the right one. I do believe we are alone in this galaxy, not in terms of life but intelligence.

Big Fart after Big Bang!

[Fungi]

Sum Gai or “some guy?”

[ClearCase_guy]

Scientists know everything about everything.

They can't tell you if it will rain 10 days from now, but the rest of it? They've got the facts down cold. And yes, 100 years from now, it will definitely rain on Tuesday.

[sparklite2]

Sarcasm aside, the expansion of the universe will eventually place distant galaxies formed in the early universe so far away, light from them will be undetectable. We will be outside their light cone.

The future civilization will see nothing, giving no clues as to what happened so long ago.

[sparklite2]

Sum Gai is Chinese for “what difference does it make?”
Or not.

Although I would vary from you in that I subscribe to an old universe (not biological evolution), I like your humor. Why you ask? Because although Christians box creation into old earth and new earth cosmology, the truth is that even in a universe of 14 billion years it is obvious the creator was in a big hurry. This article is fascinating in that conditions for life are billions of years away in other galaxies, but here, they develop quit rapidly. In other words, the earth is quit young cosmologically speaking.

To me, this is another example of general revelation.

[sparklite2]

You are soaking in the success of science.
It’s only when the scientific method bumps
up against beliefs-swallowed-whole that
suddenly science must be denigrated.

[Fungi]

Seriously? I looked on the website and could not find his name.

[Moonman62]

I believe what we’ve found so far in our own Solar System, and here on Earth supports that.

[ClearCase_guy]

Real science is testable and repeatable. I am surrounded by the wonderful products of real science.

Global Warming?
Evolution?
Origin of the Universe?

Show me your Test Plan. I'd like to repeat the experiment to see if I get the same results when I do it.

That stuff is Scientism. That's the religion of science.

I'll stick with real science.

And the precariousness of our own history.
