Intergalactic war theory suggests defense dominance, shaping cosmic future

A recent episode of the 80,000 Hours podcast explores the theoretical implications of intergalactic warfare, drawing on research by Beren Millidge. The analysis, based on known physics, suggests that defense would be dominant at an intergalactic scale, leading to a stable distribution of galaxies based on first-come, first-served principles. This hypothetical scenario highlights the potential long-term significance of humanity's actions in the coming centuries for the future of life in the cosmos. AI
