you do have to hope there's intelligent life somewhere out there Yunalesca Send a noteboard - 29/09/2011 07:56:48 PM
cause there isn't any here. /end misanthropy

its is interesting tho, that there could be that many life bearing worlds. as for the lack of spaceship laser battles perhaps every life bearing planet is functionally identical, save animals and things, with the sapient life forms on them at around same technological level as us. if the G-level stars and resulting planets all formed at the same time, there shouldn't be that huge a difference.

course our system might have aged slower or faster than whatever the 'norm' is, so nightly spaceship laser battles could be heading our way or we are the ones who will kick it all off.

all sorts of amazing possibilities await!

An interesting thought I had that may be worth discussion. - 29/09/2011 07:22:01 PM 743 Views

I definitely agree with the first part. - 29/09/2011 08:32:33 PM 572 Views
why do you think only those options would be available? - 29/09/2011 08:35:53 PM 424 Views
Could be cultural domination. - 29/09/2011 09:32:18 PM 441 Views

Oh yes we are. - 29/09/2011 10:27:52 PM 433 Views
Unless their advancement is so great they are VERY ethically enlightened, her fears seem valid. - 30/09/2011 03:04:40 AM 488 Views

Why do fossil fuels have to be involved? - 29/09/2011 08:33:26 PM 403 Views
Going into the fossil fuel vs wood thing - 29/09/2011 08:51:07 PM 499 Views
The big issue is energy density, IMHO. - 30/09/2011 02:53:39 AM 510 Views
That's so perfect. - 30/09/2011 06:43:31 AM 449 Views
We really have no idea how rare advance technologies societies are - 30/09/2011 02:00:56 PM 549 Views
That's a really good point. - 30/09/2011 04:34:28 PM 461 Views
The doomsdays options don't really hold up well though - 30/09/2011 05:22:57 PM 477 Views
I think we have different interpretations of "silence" - 30/09/2011 07:47:32 PM 579 Views
It kind of comes down to whether FTL is possible - 30/09/2011 09:12:32 PM 543 Views
hmmm - 30/09/2011 07:51:42 PM 335 Views
Yeah but that's just a variant of "Highly advanced aliens who for some reason are totally stupid" - 30/09/2011 10:21:34 PM 556 Views
I didn't mean to imply that were not talking to us because they looked down on us - 01/10/2011 01:07:02 AM 502 Views

thanks for the detailed answer - 01/10/2011 03:08:48 PM 488 Views
No prob, hopefully it's not all inaccurate nonsense - 01/10/2011 03:18:05 PM 524 Views
not to mention that the universe is HUGE - 30/09/2011 07:53:33 PM 413 Views
True - 30/09/2011 10:37:58 PM 377 Views
of course I can't say, that was my point - 30/09/2011 07:42:55 PM 426 Views
I was totally agreeing with you until I wasn't. - 30/09/2011 08:09:08 PM 560 Views
That's pessimistic, though. The "blaze of glory" is ongoing. - 01/10/2011 04:25:28 AM 404 Views
another thing for consideration - 01/10/2011 11:55:12 AM 411 Views
