Some thoughts........<br>
Quote:<br>
According to the transcension hypothesis, advanced civilizations in<br>
the universe learn to control space, time, energy, and matter (STEM)<br>
at increasingly small scales and high densities. Advanced<br>
civilizations migrate to these “inner spaces” and eventually to black<br>
holes, which are ultimate high density, high performance substrates<br>
for intelligent life.<br>
------------<br>
<br>
I agree with this statement up to 'migrating to inner spaces'. The last<br>
part about eventually migrating to black holes, I would move to the far<br>
distant future, if ever.<br>
<br>
Reasoning - Advanced civilisations that have mastered STEM will be<br>
living at small scale and at a much faster processing speed. For them,<br>
the universe will appear to have frozen in time. The available energy<br>
sources in normal space are more easily utilised. The time to migrate<br>
to black holes would be after the stars go extinct as black holes have<br>
a much longer lifespan than stars. But by the time that far future<br>
arrives, who knows what our advanced civilisation might be capable of?</blockquote><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">This is what I think, but I don’t know if John would agree.
