We're so early in to the life of the universe and even stelliferous era (less than an hour in human lifespan), yet the majority of stars that will exist in the universe have already been formed.

Right now is basically the end of the golden age of the universe for life, with zero signs of any other intelligent life. If there were thousands of other intelligent species out there in our solar system, at least one would've tried to colonize it with self-replicating machines millions of years ago.

That needs some classification. What anon means by that is "Population I" stars (like the Sun). Metal rich stars that formed from the remnants of earlier & heavier stars that went supernova and formed all the material for the later generations of stars to form. This is important because there's a growing consensus that for life to form all those elements need to exist (e.g. carbon) and in enough quantities. That could mean that while intelligent life on other planets is possible, now is the only time that could happen. We could very well be the first.

The earth is flat and stationary with a dome. The whole board is a complete fraud, much like /x/.

The reason why all humans on earth share the same time frame is because were all moving at the same speed together. (Clarification: What do I mean by sharing the same time frame? If you ask everyone to count out 30 seconds in their head, provided they're not on drugs, most people will come pretty close to eachother as opposed to 3 minutes, or an hour, or a year. Everyones 30 seconds is the same). We all share the same slice of time.

If you were to speed up, your time frame or "slice" shifts away from everyone else. You age slower while everyone else ages quicker. Its time dilation. However, this time slippage isn't in effect for everywhere. As your slice of time shifts away from Earth it starts to align somewhere else in the universe. Depending on your speed and direction of travel, you could share the same slice of time with an alien planet in another galaxy.

Are you suggesting we really are one of the first intelligent life and more is to form and come after us? Damn it feels good to be part of an ancient alien race.

nta, I'm >>16957058 - but to answer your question: yes. It's a simple solution to the Fermi Paradox, if the universe is so old why isn't it teaming with alien civilizations? Life as we know it, it needs a solar system with the conditions, resources (heavy elements), and time to evolve. Turns out the earliest that could happen with any reasonable likelihood was, well.... now (give or take a billions years or so). So yeah, to use a sci-fi trope, we could very well be the First Ones.

that image is so embarrassingly fake its laughable.
the light source is the Sun, so whats the dim light that is lighting the Moon? there shouldnt be one

>>16957041
our Sun is surrounded by a gigantic 3D hologram that is displaying a fake image. there are no galaxies beyond our Sun, other stars, nothing.
its also designed fool you into thinking everything is so far away its impossible to travel to, so give up trying.

its also

>>16957204
It's almost as if rock doesn't reflect much light.

>>16957224
and yet the reflected light from the Moon can light up the countryside at night sufficiency enough to see where you are going

Sit down and read.

i do like the reframing of separating sections of the universe like this, we could be in a slow or fast section and countless civilizations or life forms right now could be at their beginning or their end

>>16957239
yeah

>>16957239
The sun is almost 400000 times brighter than the moon. The only reason we can see at night is because of the biology of our eyes, they have special cells for low light vision (they can see light and dark but not color).

>>16957204
That’s the light side of the moon, it just looks dim because the earth is brighter

>Earth is not flat but hollow
>Ganymede and Europa are inhabited by amphibian ayys who come here to harvest seaweed in both poles
>They use the polar holes to travel and slingshot their ships into space, also to travel from both poles, imagine it as a cylinder inside a ball
>The moon has ancient monoliths, five in total
>The moon was created by a celestial event impact, ripping out a chunk of Earth. Ayys helped stabilize the chunk forming our current moon and establishing a watch point
>We really landed on the moon, but ayys sent us back and since then all moon landings are forbidden
>NASA discovered an outsider planet that will also repeat the near extinction event, forming another moon by "grazing" Earth
>Impact zone is estimated to go from the south of the US to the Caribbean

Of course this info will reward me with another permaban

There probably isn't a need to do that
