Right, but, what does it all mean?
- 01acheru 6y agoMaybe nothing, but just the fact that we're talking about it is something, IMHO.
- todd_t 6y agoIt means we won the cosmic lottery.
- mmazing 6y agoOr - there's tons of lottery winners and we're bad at finding them.
- pklausler 6y agoIf qualifying as a technical civilization can be defined as being able to launch a self-replicating interstellar probe (a/k/a a Bracewell-von Neumann probe), we can be confident that our galaxy has not yet had one. Once those probes are out there, they'll saturate the galaxy permanently; and once a technical civilization can launch one, it'll happen eventually. A modern billionaire could probably fund such a project now.
