>>13757067>The expected dimming of stars by a technological civilization, is very easy to check forAnd how many stars have we checked? And how many are there in the universe? There are billions of stars that we haven't even discovered.
>This matches poorly with the amount of expected life-bearing worlds and the age of the universeWhy do you expect life to be so common? Just because the universe is very old? That doesn't mean life must have arisen at the beginning of the universe. There could be millions of alien civilizations that have started developing several thousands of years ago. That doesn't mean they must be so advanced that they can colonize the entire universe.
> if technological civilization would have arisen during the Jurassic era of earth, where there certainly was large complex life, a Jurassic civilization would have had enough time to not only colonize and envelop every star in our galaxy, they would have had enough time to do the same with every galaxy in our local groupStill just assuming bunch of stuff for no reason. So be it, a technological civilization didn't arise during the Jurassic era. How does that say anything about life in the universe now? You just keep assuming that alien life must have started long time ago.
And you are assuming that they would want to colonize the entire universe. Why? Is it because that's what you would do? As a human? Are we talking about humans?
>The fact that we see zero evidence for any civilization doing anything like this is a statistical paradox.I know it is hard to wrap your head around the fact that universe is really big and that we haven't even seen a significant portion of it. It would only be a statistical paradox if we had.
