If mass, and it’s location in space effects the fabric of space time, then I wonder…
Imagine that a nearby galaxy is much more dense than our own. It is larger, and it’s constituent stars and planets are of similar makeup and average sizes to our own but on a larger scale, in higher numbers.
The entirety of the galaxy would effect space time for the constituent planets and stars. Basically, it would appear to us, that things coming from this galaxy are moving slower than us.
To them it would appear ( if they could see us) as if we are moving really fast, perhaps even as we perceive ants on a hill, or bees in a hive. Mindless from our aspect, crazily moving forward.
The funny thing is that in reality, time is faster for them, and slower for us, but the perceptions would be reversed.
Now, let’s say that each of us is sending out our own signature of technology with which we would both simultaneously be searching for, to prove the existence of one another.
In our situation, we may not be able to recognize their technology at all, even if it was exactly like ours. It may be coming at us so slowly and drawn out that for us a single moment of theirs may take us years or decades to hear or decipher. I single word may take generations of our time!
Likewise for them, our technology may seem like an incoherent buzzing, or a river of crammed together nonsense which would take so much computational power to separate the years or decades of data coming every second that it would be impossible.
Could this be why we know we are surrounded by life but have yet to be able to recognize it?
A small and crude visual representation of my hypothesis:
This line ———– represents electromagnetic radiation, travelling at a constant. The speed of light.
These dots : represent information embedded in the electromagnetic waves.
This speaker, 🔉 represents us on earth, moving at our current speed in relationship to light speed. One wave is a representation of our relative speed to the wave.
This speaker, 🔊 represents the more dense galaxy , and their relationship to electromagnetic waves. 4 waves is a representation of their relative speed to the wave.
🔉——–:——–:——–:——–:——–: We are moving slower in relation to the wave. Therefor our information lands in a smaller group. Each packet or group of information lands truncated and compact on the wave since it is traveling much faster than our information as it is attached.
🔊–:–:–:–:–:–:–:–:–:–:–:–:–:–:–:- The more dense galaxy is moving faster than us, and therefore closer to the speed of the wave. Their information is able to attach to the wave in a less truncated way. The information is more spread out and stretched farther along the wave than ours because it attached to the wave in faster relative motion than ours.
The wavelength remains constant, but the rate at which information is applied depending on relative motion in space time would be dependent on the source I think.
Whittier, Alaska, is a town of about 200 people, almost all of whom live in a 14-story former Army barracks built in 1956. The building, called Begich Towers, holds a police station, a health clinic, a church, and a laundromat. Its hallways resemble those of a school . One can often find residents shuffling around in slippers and pajamas.
Because the winters are so ferocious, the town’s only playground is indoors.

This is some dystopian young adult novel bull.
To be fair pretty much all of Alaska is some dystopian young adult novel bull in one way or another.
I have only been to the outside of Whittier, that one time I took the ferry from Valdez, and it’s grim-looking as hell.
This also neglects to mention that the only ways to reach Whittier are either the aforementioned ferry, bush plane, or a 2.5 mile-long, approximately 15′x15′ tunnel through a mountain that looks like this inside:
The AKDOT website reassures us that “During the 1964 Good Friday Earthquake (the greatest magnitude earthquake ever recorded in North America) the tunnel suffered no significant structural damage and no cave-ins.”
Also please note that though most of the population now lives in the Begich Towers, the townspeople used to reside in the Buckner Building, which is now abandoned and just. Sitting there. Empty. The building that used to be a whole town. Looking super fucking haunted:
“The constant sound of cascading water echoes throughout the complex. Bears have been reported both wandering the upper floors in the spring and hibernating on the lower floors during winter.”
that last building isn’t abandoned, it literally says the bears live there now.
“Though carbon dioxide is a waste product of combustion, it can also be a potential feedstock for the production of fine and commodity organic chemicals provided that an efficient means to convert it to useful organic synthons can be developed. Herein we report a common element, nanostructured catalyst for the direct electrochemical conversion of CO2 to ethanol with high Faradaic efficiency (63 % at −1.2 V vs RHE) and high selectivity (84 %) that operates in water and at ambient temperature and pressure.”
