>>14035285But your approach seems stupid. The size of the universe in it of itself hasn't got anything to do with this. It has nothing to do with why we don't observe their megastructures in our galaxy (where aliens logically should have evolved) across stars we can observe (among some of which aliens also should've logically evolved).
The skyscraper analogy doesn't work because it would require the observed universe to be a lie. It would require there to be senses and things completely outside what we can even perceive (nothing to do with intelligence) which doesn't make sense based on the knowledge we've gathered on particle interactions and the like.
Mirror matter is a possible exception, but I don't see its relevancy to this. I do agree that the natural progress may very well tend to an AI superintelligence whose intelligence we cannot even fathom, a thing that could likely simulate universes and much more.
