And we have – touch dark matter – got here without triggering the apocalypse.

For now.

And one of the BIG reasons we’ve made it this far is science fiction. It turns out that fusing leading ideas from science and philosophy into narrative structures is an essential survival quality for sentient life.

If we ever do contact the alien other I have no doubt they too will have scifi – just not as we know it.
