Our earth is only 4 billion years old in a universe that is 14 billion years old. What could a species learn, create, and do that has a 2 or 3 billion year head start on us? what about 10?

they probably have better memes.

    It is extremely unlikely that there is any life from 10 billion years older than we are, as the first generation stars probably did not provide enough chemical elements to form life to their planetary systems.

      I’m of the boat that there probably was life, but nothing advanced enough for long distance space travel and communication. Most planets are gaseous or liquid so it would have been sea-like creatures who wouldn’t have been able to survive on land anyways let alone space.

        Before early stars started to die there weren’t the complex chemicals and elements that we think are necessary for life to exist. In fact one of the only reasons they think earth can support life is due to a probable neutron star collision that happened in our area of space before the sun existed.

          Yea Earth is very fortunate to be in it’s current position in space lol. The conditions for life are very specific and somehow it got us here like 10b years later.

          Ooh, fascinating. Do you happen to know where I can read more about that neutron star collision? (Found an article, but no mention of a link to life)

      On the other hand, findings from JWST are challenging our understanding of early universe galaxy formation with observations of large galaxies forming earlier than we thought possible. So who knows?
