Are We Living Inside an Alien Wildlife Reserve? The Shocking Idea Scientists Quietly Discuss
Could Earth be secretly protected inside a galactic wildlife reserve created by advanced alien civilizations? Explore the Zoo Hypothesis, the science behind it, and what it could mean for humanity.
Rather than “shocking” I think they mean “classic 1940s sci-fi cliche” that we’re living in a reserve/zoo.

One of my pet theories, when considering physics, time, and interstellar distances, is that there is an ai system protecting life on the planet. Either left by what came before us or seeded on our planet by an advanced race who recognise they could never travel here. That race may value life as a biological imperative (like we reproduce) or the dark forest hypothesis is true and this is a way to stop life being snuffed out. It explains why the phenomenon doesn’t give that much of a shit about us, samples us from time to time, how it ended up here, how diverse it is and why when it manifests it often implores us to protect ourselves and the planet. Food for thought.
