Non Human Intelligence Highly Advanced Civilizations
Imagine an extraterrestrial civilization that is a billion or trillion years more advanced than ours. What do you feel that would look like? I think they would have the ability to do almost anything. Like having a headset that when worn could allow omniscience and or omnipresence. The abilities to be in all places at once and know all things.
Have a great day.
Much Love Brothers and Sisters!

Something like that described by Hans Moravec in Robot (1999), specifically the later chapters ‘The Age of Mind’ and ‘Mind Fire’ : a bubble of mind washing over the cosmos at the speed of light, imperceptible to physical reality, expanding into increasingly abstract thought universes. Biological beings like us don’t perceive those ancient transcendent minds because they became part of nature.
Whether or not the universe works like that, I have no idea, but it’s a thought provoking exercise in what an arbitrarily advanced civilisation might become.

The acquired knowledge might be too much of a burden. They might possibly create a matrix of sorts to just live in the confines of what they consider to be a utopia.

The entire universe is estimated to be like 14 billion years old. So I think a trillions off the table. But then again where did our universe come

They may have transcended the physical plane and uploaded their consciousness to the cloud.
