    3I/ATLAS: Probably NOT an alien interstellar probe

    As to why it was so difficult to come up with theoretical science, that may be how we tend to think. There is a theory about our evolution called the "social brain" hypothesis, that our large brains may be for keeping track of many social relationships. There is a sort of saturation number...

    3I/ATLAS: Probably NOT an alien interstellar probe

    Theoretical science is essential for doing interstellar exploration; it would be hard to do that with only craft knowledge, what we depended on for nearly all of our history and what we still largely depend on. Yes, one can go far with craft knowledge, but having good theories about underlying...

    3I/ATLAS: Probably NOT an alien interstellar probe

    Advancing to our present species of humanity, we as a species have been around for some 80,000 - 100,000 years Behavioral modernity though anatomical modernity is older than that.

    3I/ATLAS: Probably NOT an alien interstellar probe

    Looking at colonization of land, plants did that only once and animals several times. Why plants only once? Of animals that moved onto land, most of these colonizers have relatively small descendants. Largest and heaviest animals largest masses (all present day unless stated otherwise)...

    3I/ATLAS: Probably NOT an alien interstellar probe

    Or else there is not a single Great Filter but several filters, behind us in time, at us in time, and ahead of us in time. Looking at our emergence, there are some events that happened several times, and some other events that happened only once. Did they happen only once because they are...
