First contact (10,000s-100,000s) – Humanity encounters intelligent extraterrestrial life – After millennia of exploration and expansion, humans make contact with other intelligent life forms in the galaxy. Diplomacy, trade, and cultural exchange between civilizations begin, potentially leading to the formation of interstellar alliances and the sharing of advanced technologies.
Galactic civilization (100,000+ years) – Humanity forms a united, galaxy-spanning civilization, cooperating with other intelligent life forms in the pursuit of scientific knowledge, resource management, and interstellar governance. This era is marked by unprecedented technological advancements, exploration, and cultural diversity.
The era of post-biological intelligence (500,000+ years) – As technology continues to advance, biological life may become less prevalent, with post-biological or digital life forms taking precedence. This transformation could lead to the emergence of a universe dominated by artificial or post-human intelligences.
The eventual fate of the universe (billions of years) – Theories regarding the ultimate fate of the universe include the Big Crunch, the Big Freeze, or the Big Rip, but the actual outcome remains uncertain. Humanity and other intelligent life forms may attempt to influence or adapt to these cosmic events, seeking ways to ensure their long-term survival and legacy.”
