The Milky Way is probably full of dead civilizations

Most of the alien civilizations that ever dotted our galaxy have probably killed themselves off already.

That's the takeaway of a new study, published Dec. 14 to the arXiv database, which used modern astronomy and statistical modeling to map the emergence and death of intelligent life in time and space across the Milky Way.

Most of these other civilizations that still exist in the galaxy today are likely young, due to the probability that intelligent life is fairly likely to eradicate itself over long timescales.

This is not science.

It is pure speculation, based on numerous assumptions.

[BradyLS]

Now all we have to do is go out there and gather the evidence.

I didn’t realize how far Socialism had spread. Pity.

[Texas Fossil]

Yes. Pure BS. Total rubbish.

[Hegemony Cricket]

Oddly enough they still managed to vote for biden in overwhelming majority

[Texas Fossil]

Socialism?

Bump

Well it does destroy.

Does it destroy alien life? I’ve never seen any.

Oh, on 2nd thought I should not discount San Francisco, CA.

[Blennos]

Rubbish indeed. As I read, I knew they couldn’t resist mentioning the “climate change” hoax. And they did.

[PIF]

Dystopian view of this galaxy. Of course they could be dead because the Dark Forest Theory is real; its just not our turn yet. But in another galaxy far away ...

“We had to run an article on aliens and the drake equation and somehow connect it to climate change.”

Ah, they had Leftists!

[grayboots]

Maybe Ancient Aliens will do an episode on this. For some strange reason, I love that show!!

[Diogenesis]

there are two reasons.

1. they made a black hole for a PhD expt.
2. they developed 'wymn' like the LEFT has done. <= dont miss at 1 min.

The Drake Mistake.

[trebb]

Let me get this straight. We have zero proof of any other civilization ever existing in the Milky Way and now they “theorize” that it’s probably full of dead ones - maybe that’s where the dems got all them extra votes.

[maddog55]

This planer is one of them..

[maddog55]

Planet damn it.. One finger typing on a phone!!

[Russ]

Where’s the EVIDENCE? Where’s the PROOF?

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

Another effort at explaining away the Fermi Paradox. We are alone, and they know it, but can’t accept it because... God becomes a reasonable answer.
