Where Are We In The Universe?

Some of us might be thinking that if this universe is so big and is expanding every second then where are the other people? The astronauts say that there is 1 earth size planet that is in the habitable zone of its sun. Then where is the rest of the life? Maybe they are just type 1 civilization using their planet resources.

We don't know much maybe they are so advanced that they can't understand us or so unadvanced that they again can't understand us

There may be a great filter that is there to destroy humans or we have already passed them. Continue reading for more on this topic.

Types of Civilizations

There are 4 types

Type 1 that takes only the resources of its planet.

Type 2 that takes the resources of its sun!

Type 3 that takes resoures of its galaxy

Type 4 that takes resources of many galaxies.

We might think which are we. We are going to be type 1 in the near future.

Then there will be races to make a inter galactic civilization.

After achieving that we can be type 2, type 3, type 4 in a couple of million years

The Great Filter (Which can be a bit not so great after this)

Scientists say there is a great filter in front of us. It lies different challenges in front of us.

It is complex and maybe not even exist. 

This Filter raises two other questions.

Are there any other civilizations out there that have passed the filter?

Or is the filter just a small one and there is another bigger, larger and harder to pass one that lies after it. It just maybe that humanity needs to occupy the whole solar system and then we can face 

*voice tone changes to a very big giant*

THE REAL THE GREAT THE MARVELLOUS AND HARD TO PASS GREAT FILTER!

But why aren't we discovering aliens?

So are we behind this Filter or in front of it? And answering the question that was in the idea before this.

We don't even know if we are before or after the filter and this is why scientists (well, some of them) don't want to discover Alien Civilizations. This is explained in more detail in the video of Kurzgesagt.

Well, anyway, if the alien civilizations are more advanced and technologically better than us then we are actually behind the filter. But, but if the aliens are worse than us then we could be in front of the filter and that would prove that getting a brain is the most advanced thing humans have done.

One thing more...

We know that the planets were made by pieces of rock crashing together. And the scientists have made a hypothesis that the habitable planets could have formed millions of years ago and quite possibly life might have already generated and ended before humanity was created.

We can also think that a 4th clash civilization might be spying on us and whenever we reach the type 4 stage they would/could do one of these things: - 

  • Kill us and take our resources.

OR

  • Be friends with us try to make a type 5 civilization in which we can inhabit the whole galaxy.

Ending

This universe is spanning every second (and is so ginormous). It is very unlikely for us to think we are alone. But if we are then we must become a type 4 civilization to keep humanity alive until the universe breathes its last breath and goes into eternal darkness.

So this is me, knowledge4everyone signing out. Bye!

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.
