The Purpose Of It All?


PUurrr...pose? Why, you poor, lonely guys... (Agneta F)

We may never know what made the whole world, but at least we know that the world will not sustain life forever. There's a rapid increase of space in our universe, but the energy amount here is constant, so the energy possible to exploit will be increasingly difficult as it spreads out in an increased volume of space as the billion years pass by. We will be trapped in our own galaxy - The Milkyway (together with Andromeda and some small neighbour galaxys) with stars that at the later stages won't radiate enough heat. Even the black holes will eventually disappear.

This goes for every galaxy in the universe - there's no escape. What to do then? There's no other option but to find out everything about the nature of 1-particles, 2-energy, 3-time, 4-space and 5-dimensions and how they relate to each other. The sooner we find out, the better... there might be some sort of loopholes that let life survive by altering one or more characters belonging to some of 1-5, or all of those - meaning we have to take the ultimate step by creating a whole new universe.

The "old" universe, our own, may not survive into a new universe... so a sort of doomsday machine will be constructed, either by us (our descendants) or an alien civilization. An AI will calculate the exact moment before a civilization in our galaxy will not be able anymore to slurp up enough energy from their nearby stars and be forced to invade other star systems with life already present, and decide to "push the button".

There's a possibility that this type of AI already is constructed by an alien civilization... so possible hostilities between aliens and natives at a star system might get the AI there (or at the other star system) to push the button EARLY. This threat will keep civilizations at peace with each other. So there's little chance of Earth ever being invaded by hostile aliens. Every civilization would want to build a doomsday machine that has this ability to keep the civilization from going to war with other civilizations. If a primitive civilization doesn't have a doomsday machine, one will be placed nearby, but out of reach for that civilization. Probably would it have a scrambling effect on intelligent signals that reach a primitive civilization (to be on the safe side).
