That's crazy talk. Sorry.Well...
Take a Charlize Theron movie - like "A Million Ways to Die in the West". White out everything except her silhouette and all sounds except her voice.
Loses something doesn't it?
There are over 1000 credited people that worked on the movie and hundreds of uncredited extras.
Filming Charlize Theron just repeating her lines with self triggered camera would ineffably and obviously different than her movie performance and bear no resemblance to the full movie.
Claiming that all that backdrop and staff isn't necessary, is a damned lie.
Besides we don't know that we are the only experiment - but from what we know there aren't many like us.
From where I'm sitting the idea that the entire universe was created as a backdrop so that a bunch of silly hairless apes could have a nice view in the night sky, is just an expression of the outlandishly bloated ego of the human species, which is apparently infinite in some cases.
Mars had rivers and oceans and now it has polar ice caps and ice trapped in the ground. The asteroid belt and comets are also chock full of ice. There's a liquid ocean of water covering Enceladus, a moon of Saturn. Water is basically everywhere. So we can expect to find liquid water; rivers, oceans, etc., on most planets orbiting their parent stars in the Goldilocks Zone, and many moons inside and outside of the Goldilocks Zone as well.1. All bodies inside the asteroid belt - except the earth - are dry rocks because the solar output is high enough to cook off the water.
And yet actual biologists have found otherwise - did you read the article I linked about this?2. Silicon based life is less than science fiction.
Maybe. Do you have any credible citations to support this argument?Silicon based life would have a much higher encoding failure rate.
In any case, carbon is common, and clearly well-suited for life to exist within the Goldilocks Zone. So even if you're right about silicon life (which I doubt, honestly), then we're still left with a universe that's most likely teeming with life, and that life will be on average 3 billion years ahead of us on the evolutionary spectrum.
Consider how far life has come in the last 3 billion years on Earth. Trilobites first appeared about half a billion years ago. 3 billion years ago the only life on this planet consisted of single-celled organisms like bacteria. So we're apparently in a position akin to bacteria, compared to the average alien civilization in this universe.
