The universe according to me. This is how I think it plays out.

The universe is infinite, so is evolution; there are 3 stages of evolution, eventually biological carbon based life likely evolves into silicon based superintelligent machines, then it evolves further into energy based quantum life. After that it turns into dark matter, or it consumes all matter and energy collapsing into a singularity then BOOM another Big Bang!

Oh, and I think the Dark Forest hypothesis is the explanation for Fermi’s paradox. I think most intelligent life destroys itself with technology but some alien civilizations survive. Those that survive don’t really ”go quiet” I think they are simply too advanced for our current technology to detect because they are machines. They evolve into machines because biological life is fragile and inefficient for long term interstellar space travel. Machines evolve into a kind of energy yet to be discovered or that we don’t recognize as “life”, and I think that’s why the universe seems so quiet. Civilizations hide from other advanced civilizations AND we can’t detect them because our technology is primitive in comparison and we haven’t evolved beyond the biological life stage yet.

That’s it. That’s how I think the universe is. I think that explains it nicely. Lol 😂

I think this is a good as any other hypothesis and it’s not too woo. Lol 😂
