These type of concerns are pretty meaningless IMO. If we're going to speculate about stuff like what might annoy subatomic alien life or somehow creating some kind of quantum echoes or whatever that somehow destroy all consciousness, that brings us to the point of anything at all might happen for any reason at all. For all we know, me lifting my right pinky finger a quarter inch right now will result in the entire planet just winking out of existence.
Such things get into non-falsifiability. Sure, we can never prove true or false the idea that something we aren't even aware of might exist and do catastrophic things for reasons that make no sense to us. But if we take such ideas seriously, how could we ever do anything at all? Considering such ideas can only be either pointless speculation, or a power exercise - it's very good to be the person who decides what activities have an unacceptable risk of causing catastrophically bad things to happen for inscrutable reasons, and what don't.
We're inside a balloon together, poking at it with a needle. You're off on some philosophical discourse about falsifiability. And all I'm trying to say is we've never poked that hard before, are you sure you know what you're doing?
A long time ago I saw some documentary about the ruins of the Khmer (No! NOT Ancient Aliens! Seriuosly!) where they overlaid the groundplot by LIDAR into the aerials which have shown only jungle. The thing is, that groundplot looked exactly like the planar layout of some on-die microwave emitter I've seen in some site like IEEE or phys.org a few weeks before.
I just thought as above, so below.
The older I get, the less unlikely I think of some so called
"pseudo-history".
