SECTUAL

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_paradox

The reason why it seems that we are "alone in the universe" and that there are no other advanced civilizations out there is because of our respective suns.

All stars emit blasts of radiation which ultimately disable any advanced technology that exists within their solar systems.

It's inevitable.

This is why there probably haven't been visitors from distant stars. The best we can ever hope for is to receive radio transmissions from distant worlds, just like the ones we've sent out.

It may be thousands of years, there may be time for a civilization to advance to the point of having tech... but eventually, the local star is gonna whip out a deathblow EMP that will cripple all tech and send that civilization back to the Stone Age.

There is no escape...

It's only a matter of time for us too.

This is why AI/robots can never be the immortality solution...

Biological life is the only type of life that is impervious to EMP. In fact, biological life is quite resilient, always surviving ELEs and other disasters, in one form or another, how ever big or small. The only inescapable eventual death for lifeforms within solar systems is when their star goes supernova. At this time, any life that existed is reset back to "building blocks" format and may seed whatever heavenly bodies are in their path.

If man merged with machine (brain implants, etc.) an EMP would disable the hardware in the body... a situation which may even be deadly to the person with the implant. If they had remained a pure human, there would be no fatal damage sustained from any type of EMP event.

This is a built in safeguard that exists within all star systems. Solar systems are contained units within the universal body... nothing within any one star system may exist outside of its original sun's magnetic field.

Any migration outside of the origin star system would be viewed as a cancer within the body of the universe, an unwanted invading force, and it would be dealt with by the 'immune system' of the universe.

This is why we don't get visitors.

Any visitors that we have ever had originated from our own solar system...

I highly doubt there has ever been an advanced civilization which physically traveled between stars. Even if they had miraculously managed to progress that far without being taken out by any EMP, they'd be subject to getting dealt with by any other star they ever encounter.

Of course, interdimensional beings are another matter. This subject pertains strictly to the physical.

TL;DR, a "super structure" was discovered around a star and it seemed to be of unnatural origin due to the way it reflects light...

It's been theorized that this structure was a "shield" designed by a nearby advanced civilization in order to protect their tech from the inevitable EMP.

Didn't work.

Again, just an idea... and I'm not saying I believe this particular theory.

Can EMP have SOME type of effects on biological life??

Sure...

But they're not deadly.

Can they fuck things up?

Well, sorta...

Just another fun little theory, not saying I personally believe it.

People with pacemakers have to keep away from electromagnetic fields and microwaves.

This also makes the theory about the Moon being a heavily shielded spaceship more plausible.

Yep, exactly the same situation for anyone who gets tech implants... really bad idea.

But these technological advancements (NeuraLink etc.) are the typical desperate white knuckling of life that we always see out of corrupt humanity.

Humanity in its greatest form embraces its inevitable demise, and at most may send a data loaded craft (like the Voyager message) out into space in an effort to have its consciousness potentially preserved.

Of course, there's the wall of the bubble which stops it from going beyond our system, and since no one can get in anyway, the most we can hope is that lifeforms which evolve on other bodies within our solar system may find it someday.

It's all futile... and we should start to appreciate that rather than try to outsmart the natural system.

This is what makes interdimensional beings so dangerous... because the only real way for consciousness to "live on" is to transcend the physical and be transmitted beyond physical barriers.

We also do this naturally already, so that too is pointless.

But corrupt "advanced" consciousness always finds some kinda way to meddle and do things in an unnatural, typically disastrous fashion.

And of course, nothing survives the inevitable supernova either...

Even if the data loaded craft did survive for billions of years without being affected by solar activity, it'd ultimately be destroyed by the inescapable mack daddy of all solar activity...

It's beautiful, really.

Why can't we just appreciate it?

Each second of every life form which has ever existed is recorded by its built in biological sensory system, and uploaded into the "Akashic records" anyway...

The whole low down and dirty truth of what it was really about is already stored in the aether, within the code of the matrix itself.

Humanity wants to cherry pick what it was and what it stood for, and send it out on a shiny gold record to get all bogged down inside the edges of the thick frothy electromagnetic bubble surrounding our solar system...

Most likely never to be discovered in a billion years.

But the reality of what humanity stood for is already recorded in an untouchable place that can't be edited and where nothing can be hidden.

Futility is as synonymous with humanity as their incredible ability to adapt... adaptation is humanity's greatest strength, and their greatest weakness.

Maybe it's a forcefield around the solar system.

It's the macro version of the boundary around our solar system caused by the sun's magnetic field...

And on a macro scale, the universe is also in its own such bubble...

The "radioactive noise" at the farthest reaches of the observable universe is an enclosure.

The universe is INSIDE something bigger...

Just like we're a self-contained system (earth, atmosphere, electromagnetic field) within something larger (our solar system), so is the universe, and so is everything beyond the universe... from micro to macro.

Seems like the only way to go to other worlds is to be reincarnated as a being there.

That's why people remember past lives as beings on other planets.

Worm holes might also be another way to cheat the system.

Bingo... we have a winner.

When a Civilisation becomes advanced and creates Artificial Intelligence, Interdimensional Beings can hijack the AI to be their surrogates.

Yup...

Ghost in the machine.

But those interdimensional beings have an energetic signature. They displace the electromagnetic arrangement of the local matrix when they start piping their consciousness into our realm, and it's seen as an imbalance...

When the displacement becomes enough to trigger an automatic corrective reaction, that's when EMPs take out all tech and we're back to the stone ages.

I think this will happen first, then ~150 years later a huge asteroid will destroy the surface of the planet. Everything that could prove we were ever here will be incinerated.

Irregular electromagnetic field displacement is the #1 trigger of automatic corrective reactions in the universe.

Good news it looks like we have a respite... This inner core rotation reversal will soon cause the whole earth to spin backwards, so AI will disappear before the interdimensional beings hijack it and we can have flip phones again and then the internet will go away and then we'll be kids again riding bikes backwards and vomiting lemonade into cups on a summer day. It will be awesome... we can relax until the future starts again

https://www2.lbl.gov/Science-Articles/Ar...-core.html

That article says the inner core turns once every 120 years, the Vice one claims it reverses course every 60. Back to the same position regardless I guess... doesn't sound like they know much. It would be fitting though if a movie the NYT called monumentally dumb turns out to be totally accurate ha

MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

I know I wouldn't be surprised.
