What if there was once a sentient civilization tens of millions of years before us, but then it either destroyed itself at some point (leaving behind what are now our uranium deposits) or was wiped out by a flood basalt or something? What if the feared “bad ending” for humanity a la a nuclear war is the only civilization apocalypse that has already happened?
Heisenberg, Ohm and Schrodinger are in a car. They get pulled over. Heisenberg is driving, and the cop asks him, “Do you know how fast you were going?”
“No, but I know exactly where I am,” Heisenberg replies.
The cop says, “You were doing 55 in a 35.”
Heisenberg throws up his hands and shouts, “Great! Now I’m lost!”
The cop thinks this is suspicious and orders him to pop open the trunk. He checks it out and says, “Do you know you have a dead cat back here?”
“We do now, asshole!” shouts Schrodinger, getting belligerent.
