That (those) monolith (s)

Why would we have seen them? You expect ‘them’ to colonise the whole galaxy when we can’t and probably never will

You only need 10 million years to colonise a galaxy and we may well do that.

We’re absolutely brand new and there’s billions of years before us. The fact someone hasn’t done it means either life doesn’t exist or intelligent life doesn’t elsewhere.

Unless we’re in what’s called the Zoo Hypothesis, which means they’re out there and watching us but there’s a rule that they leave us be.

That said, you’d expect a million year old civilisation to be visible right across the night sky, Brian Cox said it’s a mystery there isn’t one.

I'll tell you what, without more reliable accounts from independant witness than we've had so far, it could easily be 'faked', or an AR scuplture, (2)

There could be many that have colonised the galaxy they live in, but those galaxies could be so far away that we’ll never know they’ve done it.

There could be some that have a planet that has a longer life cycle than Earth will, who look after their planet, who control their birth numbers, where they haven’t and will never need to colonise another planet never mind galaxy.

Is that the nonsense Drake Equation?

Yeah is bollocks as if it were true and there were other civilisations out there, we’d have seen them. The fact no one has colonised the whole galaxy means we’re it.

It’s not nonsense but it is only an estimate. We have received radio signals. Radio signals are sent, they don’t just echo through space on their own.

I did read somewhere that we’d expected to see the light dimmed from other galaxies because of other civilisations using the stars as power... when we looked we saw no evidence at all and again that shocked them.

I fully expect Damocles to come on and say I’m talking shit here and I may but I’m just plagiarising what I’ve heard.

It’s not nonsense but it is only an estimate. We have received a radio signal in the past. Radio signals are sent, they don’t just echo through space on their own.

I know that’s true but radio signals can be completely natural occurrences that isn’t technology.

There has been a 3rd monolith found in california

Third monolith found on California mountain following Utah and Romania discoveries | US News | Sky News

This is either a windup, some form of commercial advertising campaign or a worldwide Banksy
