My own theory is based on certain things that the "little flying guy" (sorry major brain fart) said. My theory is that the fore-runners are exitnct in one sense. Humans are the fore-runners. What i mean by that is we are the last colony that the fore-runners placed anywhere. When their civilization ended, for what-ever reasons, Earth was cut off from what-ever happened to the fore-runners.
The Sgs 343(?!?) what-ever his name is, mentioned that he was surpirsed that MC did'nt bring proper weapons, wondered why he was so unprepared, wondered why MC didn't know the proper protocule, also was very excited about the entire human history. Also seeing that he thought the MC was sent by the "fore-runners" based on the armor MC was wearing, it goes to show that our technology isn't far off from the fore-runners tech. It could be that we as a species came to the same technological conclusions as the fore-runners because it could be an ingrained memory of the ancient past. Or maybe i'm reading way too much into a simple coment. :)
