Question

in which civilization we exist

Answer 1

It only took five minutes for Gavin Schmidt to out-speculate me.

Schmidt is the director of nasa’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (a.k.a. GISS) a world-class climate-science facility. One day last year, I came to GISS with a far-out proposal. In my work as an astrophysicist, I’d begun researching global warming from an “astrobiological perspective.” That meant asking whether any industrial civilization that rises on any planet will, through their own activity, trigger their own version of a climate shift. I was visiting GISS that day hoping to gain some climate science insights and, perhaps, collaborators. That’s how I ended up in Gavin’s office.

Just as I was revving up my pitch, Gavin stopped me in my tracks.

“Wait a second,” he said. “How do you know we’re the only time there’s been a civilization on our own planet?”

It took me a few seconds to pick my jaw off the floor. I had certainly come into Gavin’s office prepared for eye rolls at the mention of “exo-civilizations.” But the civilizations he was asking about would have existed many millions of years ago. Sitting there, seeing Earth’s vast evolutionary past telescope before my mind’s eye, I felt a kind of temporal vertigo. “Yeah,” I stammered, “Could we tell if there’d been an industrial civilization that deep in time?”

Answer 2

We exist in the civilization of " Science and technology"

• Every where around us there are machines.We are surrounded by them
• Everything happens due to a reason. Only if you refer to science science can only answer.
• We can travel from one place to another in seconds
• We can communicate effectively and efficiently.
• We have no bounds to getting information . We can google anything with a click.
• We have so much to entertain us the T.V the mobile smartphones.
• We can send expeditions to the Space in almost no time.
• Satellites depict the weather .

And on and on we will the examples flow.

Hope you got your answer.
