Part 4/10:
Assuming a galaxy brimming with predatory species, the idea of hiding becomes fraught with complications. The strategies adopted by civilizations intent on concealment must be sophisticated, as waiting passively usually leads to exposure. Notably, advanced species would likely evolve to employ high-resolution telescopes and other detection methods, leaving no corner of the galaxy unexplored. In contrast, life on home planets may be at risk, because hiding in plain sight comes with dangers, especially with mass extraterrestrial exploration.
