so on /sci/ we often have posts about the "great filter" and the fermi paradox. i have a proposal.
for any sufficiently advanced civilization, the ultimate question (as in our civilization) becomes quantum gravity. and as 't Hooft has said, the natural laboratory for quantum gravity is black holes.
moreover, our laws of physics dictate that singularities exist as a theorem of quantum gravity.
boundary conditions represent the spots in space where physics breaks down. and in big bang cosmology, the "initial singularity" defines the spot in time where physics breaks down and "boundary conditions" are applied.
in the framework of "god" or "simulation" then the only places where those actors could exert influence, given the deterministic equations we have, is at singularities. singularities are the unique place that "boundary conditions" can be applied.
