The First Civilization to Emerge in the Galaxy
Cool Worlds・2 minutes read
The text explores the fictional civilization of the Imins living near the early Milky Way, evolving under intense blue light and developing unique genetic traits due to their environment. As scientific evidence suggested their uniqueness, the Imins faced denialism, leading to the creation of the Last Hope Project to preserve their knowledge in a time capsule transmitted across the galaxy.
Insights
- The Imins, a fictional civilization living near the early Milky Way, evolved unique traits under intense UV radiation, such as blue pigmentation, lighter frames, and a genetic repair mechanism for UV damage.
- Despite facing denialism and anxiety about their uniqueness in the universe, the Imins created a time capsule called the Last Hope Project to transmit their knowledge across the galaxy, using a complex structure around their star with messages from children, poets, and philosophers.

Recent questions
How old is the Milky Way galaxy?
The Milky Way is an ancient galaxy, existing for 13 billion years. It has observed the universe's transformation over its long lifespan.
How did the Imins evolve under intense light?
The Imins lived near the outskirts of the proto Milky Way, orbiting a bluer, more massive star. They evolved with blue pigmentation due to the star's intense blue and ultraviolet light, developing unique genetic mechanisms for UV damage repair.
What was the Last Hope Project created for?
The Last Hope Project was formed by a minority of Imins to design a time capsule that could transmit their knowledge across the galaxy. This project aimed to preserve their civilization's information for future civilizations.
What caused conflicts among the Imins?
The deterioration of the ozone layer in the Imin's atmosphere led to famine, ecological refugees, and conflicts over resources among the Imins. This environmental crisis sparked turmoil within their society.
How did the Imins transmit information across the galaxy?
The Imins devised a complex structure around their star to transmit information, using intricate shapes and mathematic encoding. Over billions of years, this structure survived but became distorted, containing messages from Imin children, poets, and philosophers.

"Evolution of Imins in Ancient Galaxy"
- The Milky Way is an ancient galaxy, existing for 13 billion years, observing the universe's transformation.
- The Milky Way is currently in a less active phase, having grown through the cannibalistic behavior of neighboring galaxies.
- Imagining the early years of the Milky Way, a fictional civilization called the Imins is introduced.
- The Imins lived near the outskirts of the proto Milky Way, with a home world orbiting a bluer, more massive star.
- The Imins evolved under intense blue and ultraviolet light, developing blue pigmentation due to the star's characteristics.
- The Imin home world was smaller, with a weaker atmosphere, leading to a bluer sky and higher UV radiation.
- Life on the Imin planet initially developed underwater or underground due to the high UV radiation.
- The Imins evolved with lighter frames, slower metabolisms, and a unique genetic repair mechanism for UV damage.
- The Imins were deeply social, fearing solitude, and their culture revolved around the search for alien life.
- The Imins faced denialism and anxiety as scientific evidence suggested their home system was unique, leading to the widespread use of numbing drugs like CFCs, causing ozone layer depletion.

Imin Time Capsule Transmits Messages Across Galaxy
- Scientists made a controversial discovery about the ozone layer, but society and science outlets largely ignored it.
- Imin astronomers concluded they were likely alone in the universe and decided to create a time capsule to preserve their knowledge for future civilizations.
- The Last Hope Project was formed by a minority of Imins who worked tirelessly to design a time capsule that could transmit information across the galaxy.
- The ozone layer continued to deteriorate, leading to famine, ecological refugees, and conflicts over resources among the Imins.
- The Imins devised a complex structure around their star to transmit information, using intricate shapes and mathematic encoding.
- Over billions of years, the structure survived but was distorted, containing messages from Imin children, poets, and philosophers, eventually becoming undetectable.
