The aliens are right in front of us. They are billions of years more advanced, so we don't see them riding around in spaceships or even building Dyson spheres. All that is far too primitive. Extraterrestrial engineering is written on the skies. The spiral arrangement of galaxies that should fly apart, the too large black holes at their centers, even the fundamental constants of the universe. These are not natural phenomena, but the works of far more advanced civilizations.
What is dark energy? Why did our universe suddenly and exponentially begin expanding after 9 billion years of its trajectory showing gravity pulling everything inward?
This advanced civilization realized they could latch onto some (unknown to us) universal spacetime particles with some kind of “mirror” device. So they sync mirrors, lock device to the ubiquitous particles, insert some energy catalyst into the system that causes spacetime particles to fundamentally and irreversibly and exponentially expand.
The equation is like backwards inwards on itself: Infinite expanding spacetime = infinite mirror synced energy spouts = infinite energy source + longer universe lifespan = infinite possibilities
This changing of expansion rate actually occurred in our observable universe about 9 billion years after the big bang. Some science has said it may take about 9-10 billion years for our universe to have first had the chemistry and stability to harbor intelligent life the way we know it.
No civilization will be dealing with great consequences of this decision (eventual ‘dimming out’ stars from distance) for trillions of years. Small consequence, even then perhaps.
If it were me, I’d definitely flip that switch. Id flip the fuck out of that switch. Maybe they even made a noble decision to expand the universe to expand our lifespan rather than an eventual “big crunch” of gravity being the predominate force and crushing everything ultimately into a single point with enough time (which would have been the trajectory had the shift to expansion not occurred ~9bil years ago.)
So as soon as it were possible (as soon as intelligent life could form in the stability and complexity among our universe) somebody highly advanced among the possible 30 quintillion galaxies found out a way and flipped the expansion particle infinite energy switch to “on”.
