If you take the human sits in the middle, if you take the scale of a human, and then you compare the scale of a human to the scale, let's say, of a hydrogen atom, and then you compare it to the scale of the observable universe, humans sit almost exactly in the middle of that scale from the hydrogen atom to the observable universe.

But below the hydrogen atom, there is probably...

A hundred million to a billion times more scale deeper and deeper down.

Richard Feynman, the Nobel, you know, the legendary physicist, always used to say there's plenty of room at the bottom.

There's much more room at the bottom.

In other words, as an intelligent species, an intelligent civilization progresses, they're not likely to kind of become space faring.

as such, you know, and kind of exploring the cosmos, they're much more likely to go deep down and kind of instantiate themselves at the lowest levels of reality.

That's where all the space is.

It's not out there, surprisingly.

All the space is downwards.

Now, once an intelligence achieves that, and you have to imagine that probably there are probably billions of these civilizations that had already achieved this before we even

popped into existence, before we evolved as a species, they would effectively disappear.

They would become effectively part of the fabric of space-time itself, exploiting the fundamental computational structure of the lowest level of reality, basically, and that's where they reside.

And there are probably far, far more, probably millions or billions more of those types of civilizations than there are ones like, I say you and me, like us as humans.

Right.

And so then you ask, well, if that's the case.

If we're interested in contacting so quote-unquote extraterrestrials, why are we focused on this tiny sub-population of beings that are likely to be floating around in metallic disks or whatever?

We should in fact be focusing on the much more abundant ones that are

perhaps at the deepest levels of reality.

And how would we do that?
