In 4.57 billion years our solar system went from creating simple bacteria to a large group of species. Several of which highly capable of making fairly intelligent decisions, one of which capable of having the indulgence of believing that it can think. That’s us.
The sun has an estimated 5 billion years to go before it turns into a Red Giant that in its very early stages will wipe out truly every single idea that exists inside at least our own solar system.
Unless radio waves that our planet started emitting since we invented radio are seen and understood (which requires a recipient in the first place), that will be the ultimate end of all of our ideas and culture. Unless we figure out a way to let the ideas cultivate outside of our solar system. Just the ideas would already be an insane achievement.
But imagine going from bacteria to beings, colonized by bacteria, that think that they can think, in far less time than the current age of our sun. Unless, of course, bacteria somehow arrived into our solar system from outside (unlikely, but perhaps equally unlikely than us ever exporting our ideas and culture to another solar system).
Imagine what could happen in the next 5 billion years …
