Ist das Universum wirklich ein „dunkler Wald“ voller feindlicher Außerirdischer, die sich verstecken? Es ist eine der am wenigsten überzeugenden Lösungen für das Fermi-Paradoxon.

I really enjoy Liu Cixin’s ‚The Three Body Problem‘, but like a lot of sci-fi, I think it fails as a good description of a likely future. That’s because it’s structured for good dramatic story-telling. It has ’special‘ heroes, born with unique destinies who are on hero’s journeys, and those journey’s are full of constantly escalating drama and conflict. Great Screenwriting 101, terrible model of actual reality.
If simple microbial life is common in the Universe, with current efforts, it’s likely we will find it in the 2030s. Real ‚first contact‘ will be nothing like the movies.
What doesn’t make sense to me with this theory is that surely the aliens are hiding because they have a reason to. But in order for them to have a reason they must have already suffered some bad consequence from contacting other life forms.
If statistically life should be everywhere, it seems unlikely that ALL alien life forms decided to hide and they did this millions and/or billions of years ago already (because that’s what we see when we look out at the universe). So for this theory to work, ALL alien life had to already start hiding a long long time ago (in a galaxy far far away???), which means they had to already be advanced enough to hide at that time. And they ALL had to do it.
IDK just seems nearly impossible statistically.
The only way this sort of theory makes sense is that we are in a nature preserve of some galactic governance and intentionally kept in isolation. Nothing we can observe suggests this is the case.
If we want to get dark: we are alone.
If we want to get real dark: we live in a simulation.
