It just seems like a system that advanced would be tweaked to absorb anything and everything in my mind's eye: is the only answer, that I have. I think about how slime mold around Chernobyl evolved to incorporate radiation. Deep sea vents, where bacteria evolve to harness hydrogen and then an entire ecosystem is supported by them. I guess it just seems like wasted energy and that a civilization smart enough to get that far would have worked out some neat trick, trying to emulate nature, rather than the idea that its something that it was somehow separate from and should therefore conquer. And before you say it: yes I know that entropy is part of any system too. I guess I just think that such a thing might be more like a stealth aircraft than we think is all.
