If this discovery were proven true, then the universe humans live in would be shown to be \u201clike a biological system that maintains the longevity of its genetic material through multiple generations,\u201d Loeb wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Loeb put forward the idea of a scale of developed civilisations (A, B, etc.) and, due to that fact that on Earth we currently don\u2019t have the ability to reproduce the astrophysical conditions that led to our existence, \u201cwe are a low-level technological civilisation, graded class C on the cosmic scale\u201d (essentially: dumb). We would be higher up, he added, if we possessed the ability to recreate the habitable conditions on our planet for when the sun will die. But, due to our tendency to \u201ccarelessly destroy the natural habitat\u201d on Earth through climate change, we should really be downgraded to class D.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever considered the notion that everything around you was cooked up by aliens in a lab?
