The zoo hypothesis speculates on the assumed behavior and existence of technically advanced extraterrestrial life and the reasons they refrain from contacting Earth. The hypothesis is that alien life intentionally avoids communication with Earth, and one of its main interpretations is that it does so to allow for natural evolution and sociocultural development, avoiding interplanetary contamination, similarly to people observing animals at a zoo. The hypothesis seeks to explain the apparent absence of extraterrestrial life despite its generally accepted plausibility and hence the reasonable expectation of its existence.
Aliens might, for example, choose to allow contact once the human species has passed certain technological, political, or ethical standards. They might withhold contact until humans force contact upon them, possibly by sending a spacecraft to planets they inhabit. Alternatively, a reluctance to initiate contact could reflect a sensible desire to minimize risk. An alien society with advanced remote-sensing technologies may conclude that direct contact with neighbors confers added risks to oneself without an added benefit.

Zoo, or prison. We are destroying, Eden. Selfish creatures we have become! Devolving we are!
Great way to use the dark matter topic !!
There are many artifacts left behind by aliens. Of course, as humans pick them up, they are either repurposed or stored as a private collection. Other items that are too big like the base of the pyramid stand out and quite a lot of those abound all through out the Earth.
How could an abstract mathematical equation give such an answer? We have never been alone, "mythology" relates that. Perhaps not so much as a ZOO, but constant experiments. Why is Antarctica a no-fly zone? Who controls "Peer-Review"?
Saw it on a twilight zone episode!😉👍🏻
