"universe"

Proxima, a slightly smaller red dwarf than Ross 508, has been frequently observed by astronomers as a giant flare in the past.

The mass of a star cannot grow indefinitely, it can only reach the "Eddington limit" at most, so beyond this threshold, it will soon "eject" the extra material

Compared to radio messages sent by humans, this method seems to be more suitable for intelligent civilizations to announce their presence in the universe, because this method belongs to the "broadcast" in space, and intelligent civilizations in all directions can be observed

In theory, when a civilization develops into a civilization that can cross the stars, there is basically no risk of extinction

Scientists using modern observation equipment have determined the size, position, distance and other data of most of the objects in our galaxy

Although the Earth is just a "grain of dust suspended in the sun" in the universe, for us humans, this "grain of dust" is irreplaceable.

A rigorous discussion of the unknown is not possible, so it is necessary to narrow down the universe we are discussing to only the universe we can see

Intelligent life is rare in the universe, or perhaps it is just wishful thinking on our part. As mentioned earlier, just in the galaxy, there are hundreds of millions of planets that have the natural conditions to nurture life, so a reasonable speculation is that life has evolved on many planets, and even a number of planets have evolved intelligent life.

Since gravity is actually a manifestation of gravity, and the magnitude of gravity is proportional to mass, for those objects with smaller masses, their own gravity is smaller

Whichever way you look at it, humans cannot be the only intelligent creatures in the universe. As far as we know, the universe has existed for at least tens of billions of years, so a reasonable speculation is that there is probably an advanced civilization in the universe that is hundreds of millions or even billions of years ahead of humans, and if that is the case, their level of technology is something that we humans simply cannot imagine.
