Kindle Notes & Highlights
“The apparent size and age of the universe suggests that many technologically advanced extra-terrestrial civilizations ought to exist. However, this hypothesis seems inconsistent with the lack of observational evidence to support it.” Or “Where is everybody?” The Fermi Paradox Enrico Fermi, Los Alamos, 1950
“If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don’t understand quantum mechanics.”
“Who knows? It’s not as if they could anally probe him or anything.”
They actually believe that we exist in a huge VR simulation from someone who came before, and that the race that created this universe live in a reality created by a race before and so on and so forth ad infinitum. It is quite a thought, a huge recursive arrangement of many universes.
People often mistake the Fermi paradox as merely being a problem of distance. It is not—it is a problem of time as well.
