I like to think of it as the Earths / a planets / the universes, automatic debug function.
This would apply to all, habitable planets in the universe.
This is only my personal opinion and pure speculation.
It looks oldly to me that evolution would coincide, directly and proportionally to the elements surrounding a species, during their existence phase.
The elements are present and used via, processes available / developed, during that stage of their evolutionary progress.
Eventually there will be a point, where either consumption of the available raw elements is ceased / alternatives sourced, or the inhabitants of the planet erradicate themselves via over population and stripping the planet of it's available resources. Rendering them obsolete as a species.
If evolution does not provide a means do develope alternative resources / find them, then the game is over, we lost.
So the question is, have we already lost? Or are we just skimming through by the skin of our teeth..?
