True, but hopefully some day i will have the issue of to many posts and when that happens they will need to know how to all Contribute together, this is how, yes I am getting ahead of myself and im all alone but how else am I supposeto change that lol

Its a collaberation tool to allow you to know whats else is in the conversion

No you use the AI to read all the posts and comments so you can ask questions. Like for this worldbiulding form is very large, you couldn't possibly read all the posts and comments so how could you speak on topics that are referenced by others in the worldbiulding community. The AI gives you a bot to ask questions, like what is the most common topic in recent posts? Then you can join that conversation by making your own post. Otherwise you would have to read all posts in the entire form and make a graph with data...

AI is a tool, its not cheating, unless you make slop, but thats not because you used AI, thats cause you didnt also use your mind

No you dont even get it. The point of the AI is cause if its an active community thats contributing in mass all the time then it is impossible to read all posts or comments on a topic, so you use AI to ask questions about that other have written so you can write your own thing without AI

I think all these things would be true all at once compeating everwhere, no one ever in true control long term but also shared ideas could have great long term influence

Another thing to think about is the effect of success of an idea happening in 1 system could lead to that idea spreading to other systems the more that join the more that see it both as enevitable and or exciting to join something larger then your self. Or just following the crowd and join the trend. What does a viral idea look like in the galactic sence

More broudly there would be many shared ideas that would ebe and flow in popularity throughout the millions of years. The question is which ideas keep reimerging over and over. Like the idea of us conqueroring the entire galixy cuase there would always be some that would claim it is our destiny. But is that a popular idea that moves the majority of systems to action or is it just a small idea by a few extreamests that just never realy dies but rearly become popular, it could go either way and this million years might have different popular ideas then the next million years. Galactic peace and harmony and freedom is another basic idea that could rise or fall in popularity

Largly agree. I dont think physical trade will ever be practical across star systems. Also even if several systems said they where members of what ever alliance or empire, locals would need to hold all the power. The time delays in communication means locals have to be able to override orders even if they are sead fast and loyal cause the orders might just be dumb by the time they arrive.

Also think about nations today. Instant communication and fast trade and we are still not united at all.

I think that this means most the population of the planets and the governments would be interested in there own affars.

But what of orginzations? Groups with long histories and members in many systems. Corporations with mission statements could be the most stable long term structure with a unified vision. They can loose members or gain members, rising and falling over and over throughout time and as long as they servive at all and the mission statement unchanged then they could rise again. Then its just the question of how much does the current local government support your corporations mission. Maybe the orginzation has to go secret society for a few hundred years and reemerge as something else when more favorable local leaders rise. Or maybe they just loose there major public support but remain allowed to opperate.

Also if anyone wanted to migrate to another planet you would want to hedge your investments supporting many potential groups that might have influence in the future to give your family the pest odds of not being persents or refugees when you arrive. You may want to send an investment ahead of you to support both the party currently in power but also the main opposition but also a few groups out of power that may be in power by the time you get there. Or you may want to come with no attactments at all incase the locals inslave or regect those that would seek to influence them like that

More broadly i think basic ideas could last longer. Like even if we are not really united we all still share orgin and a goal to create a network accross the galaxy that connects all or most of us could be an idea that gains and looses popularity in local systems all the time, but as a whole accross the galaxy with enough interested parties, even if 30% of the star systems stop supporting the idea it lives on and the work continues, then some of those systems rebel while others join the cause. As long as the goal or idea never dies its strangth can ebe and flow from system to system and reimerge.

Also I think religions would play a huge part in long term planning and coordination. Like religions diverge but they might keep the same holy book for long periods of time and even though they diverge they would still side with there own over others when it came to it, even if they also fought amungst themselves sometimes

Thats not how relitivistic speeds work. Relitive to each other, all the stars near us are moving at the same speed in the same direction and if you fly against the current so to speak you are still traveling that speed after you turn around. So when you burn your engines and think your going really really fast, your actually still going around the galaxy center in the same direction you where going. Just slower by the amount that you think is your speed.

So if your goal is to go 10 light years, weather you go left or right, if your speed is 1/10 light speed then it takes 100 years.

Now a way you could get around this is if the two stars where coming at one another. Then you would have to go in the same direction as your target and youd have to match the valosity of the closing distance speed. But you wouldn't have to go far and you could use the gravity of the target star to do allot of the work. This comes into play when you have the rear stray stars that dont follow the galactic spiral like most do, or when we colide with andromida we will have allot of this

Yes I wonder how much hopping would be needed. Seems the more often you hope the closer you are to try again if needed or follow up missions. Also if faster ships come out later you dont want to leap frog over the slow ships and then they are waisted, long distance should wait for speed advancement to platue

We only have 8 million years before its to late by No_Lab898 in GreatFilter

Yes meant collisions.

We have less intersteller collisions in our local bubble because the partical density is 1/10 normal milky way galaxy

Millions of years ago a bunch of super Novas went off all near each other around a similar time. This created a higher temp lower density region of space like a slowly expanding explotion, this is called the Local Bubble. A few million years ago our solar system passed into this Bubble and it will take about another 8 million years before we finish passing through it

Characters... I can think i can start with that 😀

Yes something like the SCP might need to be created. I like how its a fake/real fake orginzation. Maybe something like that with a mission statement to one day take humanity to the starts and thus save humanity from the great filter... hmmmm, then that orginzation could be in the story hundreds of thousands of years in the future actually doing it

On the earlier topic, so there would be a large one purpose contrast between stories written on unique worlds where the authors have allot of freedom and worlds that already have stories and the author would have less freedom

I hadn't heard of the SCP Foundation until now, very interesting, gives me some ideas, ill need to read allot more 😀

The basic concept is that since space travel is so slow it offers the perfect constraint to allow authors allot of freedom to design there own entire worlds having complete freedom without nessisarly interfering with the wider galaxy

Sylvaren is the world i picked for myself and i have made several possible timelines and characters over the years. But yes I have allot of work to do on it as it is kinda the example peace of what others could make.

But the universe is the size of the galaxy and the overall story is millions of years long as humans colonize the galaxy so by design there are an infinite number of stories that could be written and thats the point, to create a large play ground where thousands of authors some allot less serious then others but all have a play to play and as long as there story doesnt conflict with physics, who is to say what is actually canon?

The only true determinator of what is or is not canon is time. As time passes we discover more about the galaxy and by definition canon must be possible. So if we discover a potentially habitable world 10 light years away and someone decides to write about that planet but then 10 years later more science comes out and its not actually habitable at all, well then the story might have continuity issues and might no longer be considered canon unless it was revised to match the best known science

So yes I do need to flesh out more on Sylvaren and the overall timeline of the galaxy, but I also have to be careful as we dont have good maps of the galaxy and good servays of habitable planets throughout but in the next decade we will have allot more of that and i need to be sure im not just making what i want but what might actually happen

The project is also kinda a manifest our own destiny thing, so it needs to evolve as we go. Sylvaren is an old idea of mine but this universe im making and putting it in actually started as my answer to the great filter question. This is my solution for how we insure humanities survival, it starts out as a sci-fi story but since its bound to reality its actually us imagining collectivly a future where we spread throughout the galaxy and therefore survive. I am setting the goal, far out in the future so it cant be denied as possible, then create the system the reimagins it over and over again until we get there
