The Law of Accelereting Returns.
Super intelligent life may well have bypassed this planet long ago.

It has. Err, their technology advancement has surpassed Earthlings before the human species existed. They haven't surpassed us as such, as they are way out in the lead. They probably have a billion years or more on us. Earthlings are not intelligent, leastwise not by their civilizations' sans irrationality being the norm. Perhaps the only similarity between us is consciousness. Albeit, seemingly eons ago they successfully out-competed their own anti-civilization that was mired in irrationality. Which they have long forgotten.
Matter and energy being the two macro components of existence, what if consciousness is the third macro component? What if conscious beings are the supreme controllers of matter and energy -- the supreme controllers of existence; manipulating the laws of nature/physics?
We know that conscious Earthlings increasingly understand the laws of nature/physics to increasingly control nature. It's how we advance technology. Because knowledge begets new knowledge conscious beings are limitless -- within the laws of physics -- in their control of existence.
