what if we're first?
or FTL travel isn't possible in our universe?
- nh23423fefe 4y agoSure, have a different prior if you think those assumptions are relevant. i don't P(what if we're first?) ~ 0 P(or FTL travel isn't possible in our universe?) ~ 1
- blibble 4y agowhat's your basis for these assumptions?
- nh23423fefe 4y agoUniform distribution of appearance of life over stars. Special relativity.
