The "Zoo Hypothesis" suggests that alien civilizations are aware of Earth and have deliberately chosen not to interfere, treating our planet as a protected nature preserve or a cultural experiment. Under this theory, they maintain a strict policy of non-contact until humanity reaches a certain level of social or technological maturity. Our perceived solitude is therefore an intentional act of cosmic quarantine, ensuring that our natural development remains unpolluted by external influence. We are not being sought because we are being actively avoided for our own good.
