How advanced do you guys think the most advanced beings ever in the entire timescale of the universe evolved to be? Could we even fathom how they think?

>> No.4166634

We hardly know anything about how we think.

>> No.4166640

Oh look, it's time for absurd hypothetical questions.

>> No.4166683

If the universe is infinite (at least in dimensions greater than 3) than the function of their intelligence is

Lim x → inf F(x) = y^x

where y is the difference in intelligence between the smartest man and a single ant.

But the universe is not infinite.

it's not infinite in 3 dimensions, and possibly not in 4 dimensions (we have to see if it ends to know for sure) but it entirely possible that its infinite in 10 or 11 dimensions.

but like.. what if it is bro... that would mean that like, everything that you could ever think, has happened like... an infinite number of times already. picture a pink elephant that flies... in an infinite universe, and infinite number of pink elephants who fly exist.... and like, in an infinite universe every single possible permutation of yourself has happened. like there's a permutation of yourself that's totally identical in every way, except right now you're reading this and he's taking a dump into his own mouth.


totally.

Any hyper-advanced civilization would likely be spending their time in a virtual heaven where minutes out here seem lime millennia to them.

Probably a couple dozen matryoshka brains in some dense star cluster exchanging information by laser communication.

Unless you can fuck physics and get FTL, in which case much larger.

Its probably like 2001, they've all transfered their consciousness to light.
