Physicality

His culture was not concerned so much about physicality.

One must not be blinded by physicality.

A black announcer at CNN said, "Your body's not poor" or "You don't have a poor body." Indeed, if we think about our physicality, we wonder if it's optimal. Are we the right size, the right colour, the right age, the right whatever, etc.?

A transcendent God, like Allah or the Christian Trinity, exists outside spacetime, crafting it from nothing (ex nihilo). Extraterrestrials, no matter how godlike, likely evolved within the universe’s 13.8-billion-year history. Even if they predate humanity by eons or live in higher dimensions (a sci-fi staple), they’re bound by physicality or some form of existence tied to the cosmos. Could they fake transcendence? Maybe—imagine them projecting a voice from the sky or rewriting physics locally. But true transcendence implies being uncaused, eternal, and limitless, beyond even the wildest alien capabilities.

Their bodies started to melt, and lost what physicality they had. Pretty soon, all of the test subjects had melted together into … Those.
