    If you are on the side that the law of large numbers dictates that there must be intelligent life out there, would you contend that none of them are more advanced than we are?
    I'm counting on it, but I'm also counting on the fact that they are using VonNewman replicating probes and the odds that their probes roll while we are sentient enough to notice them are infintesimal

      Answer 2: One J won't acknowledge that movement between solar systems is dangerous and hard. When Kevin Seitzer indicated the number of deaths we've had in our own attempts to get off the planet, he didn't even get into cosmic rays and how the human body would atrophy in space.
      I mention cosmic rays and nobody makes a Fantastic Four reference? This place used to be so much fun.

        Replicating probes would be a good name for probes that replicate.

                          John Ringo wrote a book about such probes. His coauthor Travis Taylor is a PhD Physicist.

                            Steve's Mean would be a great name for a band.

                              Actually, it would be an "average" name for a band! Math joke!

                                I responded in the other thread before seeing this ... I think I should be worried ...
                                It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.
