Max Tegmark Quotes
The Apparent Incompatibility Between The Abundance Of Habitable Planets In Our Galaxy And The Lack Of Extraterrestrial Visitors, Known As The Fermi Paradox, Suggest The Existence Of What Hanson Calls A "Great Filter," An Evolutionary/technological Roadblock Somewhere Along The Developmental Path From Nonliving Matter To Space-colonizing Life. If We Discover Independently Evolved Primitive Life In Our Solar System, This Would Suggest That Primitive Life Is Not Rare, And That The Roadblock Lies After Our Current Human Stage Of Development-perhaps Because Assumption 1 Is False, Or Because Almost All Advanced Civilizations Self-destruct Before They Are Able To Colonize. I'm Therefore Crossing My Fingers That All Searches For Life On Mars And Elsewhere Find Nothing: This Is Consistent With The Scenario Where Primitive Life Is Rare But We Humans Got Lucky, So That We Have The Roadblock Behind Us And Have Extraordinary Future Potential.
