If human beings discover that there are other civilizations in the universe, will we actively integrate or hide ourselves?

The vast galaxy is full of miracles, and the earth of human beings is just a piece of dust. A small water-blue planet gave birth to the advanced civilization of mankind. In that vast galaxy and even beyond the galaxy , maybe there are other higher intelligent creatures. I still remember some of the science fiction works we have come into contact with. Quite a lot of people believe that there are more powerful and more ancient life outside the universe, and they were born as early as the Big Bang. You must know that the Big Bang occurred 13.8 billion years ago, and human beings were only born a few million years ago. Even our cue ball Earth is only 6.4 billion years old.

In such a huge time difference, it is impossible for us to just wishful thinking that life happened at this moment of human beings, and only the human species survived. You must know that the scale you make is 92 billion light-years, and the time of the universe is 13.8 billion years. Compared with the earth, its time and space are comparable to that of the entire Milky Way.

Although human beings have not found any traces of alien visits yet, there may be countless civilizations on the edge of the distant universe, and we humans are just a group of country bumpkins in the wild mountains. So the question is, if human beings really discover that there are many other civilizations in the universe one day, what should we do? Are you actively integrating into it, or hurrying to hide yourself?

If we start from Liu Cixin's dark forest law, then naturally all civilizations cannot be trusted. Others are hell. Once you find other civilizations stronger than yourself, you need to hide them, and those who are weaker than yourself must be eliminated, because the chain of technological explosion will Entangled in the hearts of all civilizations, lingering like a curse. Under this theory, the earth civilization can only develop obediently at home. Once it takes its place, with the technological level of human beings, it is not enough for others to attack with a two-way foil, even the simplest one. The impact of the water droplets is irresistible.

But nothing is absolute. There is another theory about aliens and even cosmic civilization, another concept that Asimov’s Galactic Empire once mentioned. You must know that if there are countless civilizations in the universe, then there must be more than wars between them, because when any formula reaches its limit, its formula operation may deviate.

There may be hostility or even war between different civilizations, but the enemy of the enemy is his friend. Gradually, the weak will form a group to fight against the strong, and the large civilizations with common enemies will also achieve alliance. In the process of constant war and alliance with each other, a whole will eventually be formed, and this constitutes the galactic empire of the entire universe.

Therefore, if human beings really discover the existence of other civilizations, and there are many large families of civilizations in the entire universe, what we have to do will naturally be actively integrated into them. However, when we are in contact with the outside world, we must first understand the situation, but we must also strive to develop our own strength. Only when our own strength is strong and we understand the situation ahead, it is safe and reliable for human civilization to join the big family of civilization. Yes, otherwise you may encounter another Trisolaran civilization, and the destruction of mankind is also in an instant.
