Reality may be "boring" in that earth just may be super dooper lucky to have an accidental massive moon, a liquid iron core and a seasonal tilt to have made life. We also may be one of the first early conscious life in the universe (which would suck).
The really sad part is due to the laws of physics there is only a very limited bubble of time that we can ever see into the universe even if humans survive millions of years (unlikely).
If individuals had billion year long lifespans, sightings might just be staggeringly rare.
A. “Per our understanding of the universe, which is now finally provably correct and complete, no intelligent life whatsoever could have been causally involved in the emergence of various stellar objects or humanity itself.”
B. “Since our understanding of the universe is most likely incorrect and/or incomplete, some kind of intelligent life we are not yet aware of may or may not have been causally involved in the emergence of various stellar objects or even humanity itself.”
C. “We were made by fantasy abstract creature(s) not subject to any physical laws of this universe. We should probably worship them.”
I'm not sure there's anything less "mystical" about Wolfram's postulations though. Is there a new scientific basis for these beliefs?
