Summary

Imagine, if you will, a universe where humans are not explorers of the cosmos but mere exhibits, watched over by beings of unimaginable advancement, our every move monitored for their scientific curiosity or perhaps their entertainment.

Silent and unseen, these cosmic observers could be lurking just beyond our perception, their eyes fixed on us like patrons at a galactic aquarium. With no signs and no contact, they scrutinize our behaviors, making notes in logbooks we can only dream of deciphering. This sinister yet strangely compelling notion toys with our understanding of our place in the universe and pokes at the pride of our species with a cold, alien finger. Are we alone, or are we an attraction?

This Case FIle, join the Theorists as we go ape on the weird and wild idea of…The Galactic Zoo Hypothesis
