still thinking about the potential fermi paradox solution that the reason we're alone in the universe is because we're one of the first pieces of life in it.

we're 13.8 billion years into a universe that is expected to continue forming stars for another 1-100 trillion years. at the LATEST, we're 1.4% of the way through all of reality. at the earliest, we're 0.014% of the way through. given the earliest known life started about 4 billion years ago, a mere half billion years after the earth formed, which was itself less than ten billion years from the beginning of reality... i find it entirely believable that we're just one of the first.

the universe is impossibly, wonderfully young.

tbh what this really makes me want to do is take a few tons of tardigrades, load em into various rockets, and just shoot em at space. maybe in a few million years they'll hit something, and in a few billion years there'll be an ecosystem there with neighbors just a couple stars away
