Given that our star and Earth are part of a young planetary system compared to the rest of the universe β and that interstellar travel might be fairly easy to achieve β the theory says that Earth should have been visited by aliens already.
2. Boltzmann Brain
It's more likely for a single brain to spontaneously and briefly form in a void (complete with a memory of having existed in our universe) than it's for the universe to have come about as the result of a random fluctuation in a universe in thermal equilibrium

1/n The Feynman Technique is a powerful method for learning and understanding complex concepts in physics and other fields. Named after physicist Richard Feynman, the technique helps to break down difficult concepts into simple, easy-to-understand language.
A Thread π
2/n The basic idea behind the Feynman Technique is to explain a concept to yourself as if you were teaching it to someone else. By putting the concept into your own words, you are forced to actively engage with the material and identify any gaps in your understanding.
3/n To use the Feynman Technique, start by writing down the concept you want to understand in the center of a piece of paper. Then, write down any related concepts or terms around it.
