For more than 40 years, Seti searched Cosmos to get signs of intelligence outside the ground, and struggling with Fermi is a paradox: if the universe is very wide, where is all foreigners?
Among the many theories – life, evolutionary obstacles, or communications barriers – one of the relevant matters emerges: “Solve the sustainability”, Popularmechaanics.com.
In 2009, this theory was proposed by scientists Jacob the era of Maysara and Seth Boom, that advanced civilizations adapt to either the limits or collapse of their environmental planet.
Instead of building a huge structure that can be discovered such as DYSON fields, sustainable foreigners may integrate technology with nature, making it invisible to research.
In a new study, the philosopher Lukáš Likavčan returns this idea, framing technology and history on a planetary scale. He argues that viable civilizations must fold technology systems (their human-making systems) to the biological ocean-advanced technology may become inconceivable of nature.
Humans, in this opinion, from temporary rulers: Our creations may develop sustainable or lead to collapse.
This challenges the endless growth. As Haqq-Misra and Baum noted, there may be foreigners but avoid rapid expansion, and has not left any trace. Or, previous civilizations may have risen and fell without residues that can be discovered.
Likavčan cited the development of the author of Sci-Fi Karl Schroideer on Arthur C. CLARKE. If it is true, we have searched for wrong signs.
Can we balance progress with sustainability? Or are we, like countless civilizations in front of us, disappear into a cosmic silence?
