Very few people will like this because it isn't fun, interesting, cool, or scary, but here goes. It's worth sharing and comes with its own set of
implications to consider that, in my opinion, are indeed very interesting to consider. I call it the boring isolation theory.
1) There isn't life anywhere in the universe, whatsoever, except planet Earth. If there is, it's incredibly basic; microscopic with few cells. This
hypothesis would be based on the fact that up to now, no concrete evidence of any kind has been officially found, and we can only go off of what's
official, otherwise aliens exist because someone says they were visited, abducted, talk to them, etc. Granted we haven't visited a planet except Mars
with rovers, and there's billions of them, I'm not denying that. It's just that when I see our planet from outerspace, it has nice blue and green
colors, it looks alive. Every picture of other planets is just a giant barren marble, or something trippy like Saturn, Jupiter, etc that clearly isn't
"alive", just has an atmosphere of different chemicals and weather literally out of this world. That's because we're in the sweet spot of our solar
system and Earth is made of the perfect stuff for life to form on, I know. There's equations for how many likely Earth-like planets there could be in
the universe too, but that doesn't mean it's true. Can someone make an acceptable equation for how many of those planets would have the PERFECT
conditions and elements, not just within a generic range? What about out of those that had life, how many would have species evolve that became
self-aware and intelligent? How do they even know if we're not a fluke? More on that below.
2) If there is mammal, reptillian, amphibian etc life of some kind spread here and there, albiet extremely rarely to the point that you could visit
solar systems your entire lifetime in your starship and never find it (It's fast but it's not THAT fast. Come on, humans made it), it probably isn't
self-aware and intelligent. Follow me here. Planet Earth has had life on it for how long? I don't want to look it up but we can agree that's a long
time. In that time, dinosaurs came and went, several eras of creatures, all kinds and species in fact. Amazing examples of evolution. Then, for some
reason, apes and only apes out of EVERY species that EVER existed evolved to have some intelligence and a unique social structure, the interaction of
which caused a sort of exponential effect on their further evolution as I understand it. Then there was some sort of genetic mutation which led to the
evolution of homo sapiens? I'm sorry, I haven't read up on it in quite a while, please excuse me. Regardless, homo sapiens became the only species
that ever existed on planet Earth to evolve to this level of intelligence as we put it out of simplicity. We are leaps and bounds ahead of everything
on the planet and everything that's ever been on this planet, indigenous of course. SO far ahead that if you look at it the right way, we stick out
like a sore thumb. How could this even be possible? Dogs have social structure, packs, hierarchy, interaction. That species never took a next step.
You'd think even now especially with all of the human social interaction that they get and the HEAVY breeding would spark something, anything, but
nope. We have how many ethnicities that look different because their dna is slightly different? Well, what about K-9's. They'd have the equivalent of
hundreds and hundreds of drasticly different ethnicites. None of that matters either. What makes anyone think that on a distant planet that has
conditions for life, one single, special species, or more than one for that matter, would even evolve if you consider the freak occurence that is
us?
Your thoughts?
