This is just a theory that I created to explain it. It’s all speculative, and my imagination is running wild, so no worries, I’m not drugged-up making comments here, lol (no offense to anyone). I’m not an astrophysicist or anyone of authority, so take this with a grain of salt. Feel free to help me expound on this theory and provide ways to update or improve it. Here it goes: What if highly advanced ancient species from around the time the universe formed learned a long time ago a lesson about living for eons in this existence or realm, which could be that it isn’t the best way to exist because of the life and death process or the constant creation and destruction processes. They also knew how the universe would end, realized they couldn’t control the universe in this realm, and decided to find a way out. They found a way to live in another realm, another dimension with different laws of physics where such processes are controlled. Perhaps it’s a one-way train because you can’t return to our realm once you cross over. Therefore, the life we will encounter in our realm is plant life, microbes, animals, and civilizations similar to ours with similar technological characteristics. Maybe some that are a few hundred or thousand years more advanced than us or less than us, but the intelligent species are so rare and very, very far apart it’s almost impossible to make contact. The current highly advanced civilizations (millions of years) are probably very few. Maybe somewhere around 3 or 4 in the entire universe, and they know of our existence; however, they’re choosing to use their time and resources wisely to cross over to the other realm because they’ve detected evidence of it and are putting all their efforts into that. The ancient civilizations that went before them that crossed over to the other realm perhaps left marks or scars from that event in the fabric of space and time. Contacting us and bringing us with them to the other realm would probably be more costly. It would take so much energy to cross the universe to make contact with us and bring us with them a decision that isn’t practical. They could also take thousands of other species, but it’s impractical. They probably have accepted that not all species and civilizations will be able to make it to the other side and are, therefore, the pioneers for all life in our realm of existence, the first to venture into new territory. Also, crossing to the other realm probably requires an ungodly amount of energy, which is unthinkable for us. They are focusing that energy to cross over and survive in the other realm.
Update: Feel free to challenge this and tell state why this is incorrect.
