I was thinking today that life on other planets must have certain givens to be considered an advanced culture. I was most interested in the everyday items that are design principles that are necessary for engineering and daily life. Such as: paper clips. A wound up piece of wire used to hold paper together. Pens. I'm curious what brands of pens exist in the universe. Toilet paper has got to be a given for an advanced life form. Screws. An inclined plane used to hold two items together to make something. These simple machines are universal concepts that every civilization needs to enter in to a different age like the cell phone age or the wireless age. The wheel and the physics of gear dynamics in relation to chronicle time tables. Such as the discovery of the circumference and latitudes of the planets each life form inhabits. Chaos theory in math that explains weather and ocean patterns. Dimensional computations that reveal the fractile construction of the universe. All of these building blocks and stepping stones are plateaus for the enlightened to understand before they can embark to the next level.
Having these fundamental similarities between worlds can be a key element to understanding where these design principles are leading us in to the future. Is it possible that through the random organization of tools and the application of physics might there be an overall pattern that results in time travel. The universe is so large that even some of the light we see in the sky has already been extinguished by time. If we were to travel from one star to another there might be only three answers. A space ship that can reanimate a life form after centuries of distance. A colony ship that would require a stable gene pool for interstellar breeding. And time displacement where a body of mass could be dimensionally reconfigured in space and positioned in the universe within subsequent relation to its origin. I have been personally working on my time machine made out of an old Barracuda, some duct tape, and a microwave, but I always end out in space because the damn planet keeps moving around the sun.
