There are various views regarding extraterrestrials; But the theory of the dark forest has managed to make fans of space creatures anxious and think.
Fermi’s paradox has plagued scientists for years, and many have tried to answer it. With 2 trillion galaxies in the visible universe, why have we never been able to communicate with a space civilization? The dark forest theory gives a terrifying answer due to the silence of aliens. An answer that should worry us about space exploration.
Aliens are hiding in the dark cosmic forest
Some people think that we are the world’s first advanced civilization and that other creatures are in the early stages of evolution. Some also believe that life exists only on Earth. Another group considers the astonishing vastness of the universe and the great distance between galaxies as the reason for our lack of communication with aliens. Although in the dark forest theory, not only the possibility of the existence of extraterrestrials is not rejected, but trying to communicate with them is a big mistake.
This theory is based on a simple idea. Living things are always trying to survive and will stop at nothing. Also, the world does not have unlimited reserves, and various creatures have to compete with each other to dominate these reserves. Such a thing can be well seen on the planet. Proponents of the dark forest theory believe that extraterrestrials are definitely competing for valuable and scarce resources.
According to this group, an advanced civilization sees only one option after reaching the possibility of deep space exploration. A powerful civilization must destroy other advanced beings in order not to be in danger of being destroyed. Thus, the universe can be compared to a dark forest, behind the trees of which armed civilizations are waiting.
Advanced civilizations have realized that extensive contact with other extraterrestrials may threaten their existence. That’s why they try to walk slowly in the forest and even erase all the signs related to them. In such a world, other creatures create real hell and are considered a constant threat.
Proponents of the dark forest theory believe that there are many advanced civilizations in space. These civilizations probably realized that a dangerous civilization is destroying others and therefore do not announce their presence publicly. While humans are walking in exactly the opposite direction. We are like a naive bird singing on a tree branch and wondering why no other bird answers. The answer is quite simple. Falcons roam the galaxies.
Of course, there is one point that the proponents of the dark forest theory ignore. If a space civilization wants to destroy others, it has to send its military fleets to different stars and galaxies. Even if the civilization in question is able to travel at the speed of light, such a journey may take thousands or millions of years. By this time, the target civilization has advanced greatly and may have reached a high level of technology.
Therefore, it seems that the best thing for advanced aliens is to stay in a small area of dark forest and observe silence.
