Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb has an interesting theory about how we came to be.
Needless to say, when it comes to all things alien-related, Loeb is a seasoned expert. Now, he is back with a new theory on our universe and alien life and we must admit it's a rather creepy one.this week, Loeb speculates that our precious and mysterious universe could have been formed in a lab by an “advanced technological civilization.”
“Since our universe has a flat geometry with a zero net energy, an advanced civilization could have developed a technology that created a baby universe out of nothing through quantum tunneling,” Loeb wrote. Loeb goes on to say that this theory would unify our religious beliefs with our scientific ones and characterize us as a class C civilization. What's that you may ask?As a civilization that is dependent on our host star, we are only a C in the civilization scale. If we ever managed to become independent of the sun we would become a B and if we actually successfully engineered our own universes we would then be the top, class A.
So, the theory essentially assumes that a class A civilization created us. The op-ed leaves many questions unanswered like: Is the civilization that created us interfering with our lives and is it benevolent, evil, or indifferent? Perhaps, Loeb will follow through with another paper describing our creators more in detail. In the meantime, we will take his theory with a grain of salt.
