Some people seem to think this is a worthless comment, I prefer to see it as a good book recommendation. It also jives with my feeling that dark matter has something to do with life being present in a galaxy, the effect it has on the structure of galaxies seems almost... deliberate.
- errcorrectcode 5y agoNo intelligent design or superstitious nonsense here, thanks.
- _1100 5y agoGatekeeping aside, I took the meaning of the comment to be that there is something in the galaxy that has the ability to construct/manipulate their surroundings in such a way that it appears to us as “intentional, from living beings”
- pharke 5y agoYes, thank you for thinking outside the box.
- doctor_eval 5y agoLike a Kardashev type III civilisation(s). I love that idea. Edit: thinking about it more, it's even more interesting because this particular galaxy is far less dense than say the Milky Way, so perhaps it's basically unsuitable for colonisation/exploitation. It also means that the Milky Way contains a Type III civilisation.
- pharke 5y agoIt also means almost all galaxies contain similar Type III civilizations. 13 billion years is a long time, how long did Fermi calculate it would take to colonize the galaxy? 10 million years?
