Except we are already violating this by sending things out into interstellar space.
- coredog64 4y agoNot just “some things”: Nudes, a mix tape, and directions back to our house.

- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoYeah, seems to me there'd be a bit of time in there before any civilizations decided it was better to stay silent. But that time might not be astronomically relevant.
- idiotsecant 4y agoWe really haven't sent anything that's very 'loud' out into space though. A little probe without even an active transmission process is not a very loud signal. All of the electromagnetic noise we emit is barely perceptible above CMB once you get even a small distance away. On a galactic scale, we have been almost entirely silent so far.
