Happy to send it to you when it is presentable. Still rather messy,
but we will hopefully soon finish it and send it to PNAS. </div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>### Are you mentioning there the Shiva-explanation for the empty skies? I mean the possibility that the physics of our part of the multiverse is such that technogenesis leads early-on and with a significant probability to the discovery of a simple method to trigger a false vacuum decay, thus erasing the civilization and its universe, along with any civilizations that managed not to become the destroyers of worlds.</div><div><br></div><div>The observable world seems to be consistent with such an explanation. The probabilities surrounding the Shiva explanation are the opposite of the black-box explanation - it takes only one in any number of budding civilizations to trigger a superluminal erasure of a universe, before any of the million civs ever get to see light from their neighbors.</div><div><br></div><div>Rafał</div></div>
