OMG..that paperclip thing just blew my mind :0
Heh.
I thought that was Spongebob Squarepants.
....our Milky Way galaxy has used up much more of the gas available for future star formation.
It was those aliens who came before us who used up the galaxy’s precious resources.
Funny, no cigar.
Only 13 and a half billion years in?
Could’ve happened 4 billion years ago.
“I do believe we are alone in this galaxy, not in terms of life but intelligence.”
I’ve often wondered why in the 130+million years of the dinosaurs, not one species evolved that was smart enough to make a civilization, but humans did in about 2 million years. Was the environment so different that it precluded inventing tools or fire? I understand the flowering plants weren’t as developed, and so the opportunities to develop opposing thumbs was decreased, but 130 million years is a long time, evolutionarily speaking.
