Fun game! My personal answer to the Fermi paradox is that multi solar system civilization is very very hard, and multi galaxy civilization is functionally impossible. Speed of light is slow, space is big, and resources are concentrated. If there is a species with the capability to spread through their entire galaxy, they aren't in this galaxy and they aren't close enough to reach us.

Mine is they got too advanced and went multidimensional. Sticking to 3D is very primitive thinking when you can manipulate higher dimensions. Primitive 3d species will always think to conquer 3d things.

  Common formulations of such theories that might be imaginary have additional spacial dimensions as microscopic not someplace you can really go.

    That’s what primitive 3D species always rule out. No offence, we are all so obviously primitive just by how much we don’t know.

      We know enough to know that macroscopic higher demential spaces connected to our apparently 3 dimensional space aren't a thing. Having limits to our understanding doesn't mean all things are equally possible. For instance there aren't any 2 dimensional beings because it's impossible to slice a mathematical pure plane and have macroscopic objects exist in that plane even fields surrounding a singular atom exist in 3d.

        For sure, what I mean is they could be playing with different universes. Or found a way to manipulate time. It’s crack pot stuff but it all looks like it till it happens. Show a cave man an DJI drone being controlled and sending back live videos, they will also say it was impossible due to their understanding

My answer is that the values we multiply are too uncertain to give meaningful prediction [1] [1] https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.02404 https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.02404
