Scientific paper
Evolution occurs in any system that possesses degrees of freedom to allow the appearance of new entities and constraints to select a few of them to become part of the system which in this manner continues to evolve. The limits of growth in a finite system, which will be imposed on all stellar civilizations by the colossal distances that separate the stars, will become the constraint that will affect the natural selection of these civilizations. Those that will manage to overcome their innate tendencies toward continuous material growth and replace them with non-material goals will be the only ones to survive this crisis. As a result the entire galaxy in a cosmically short period will become populated by stable, highly ethical and spiritual civilizations.
