> gets blasted out into such far reaches the two races are never within a distance (in terms of space or time) they could communicate? I know this is not directly related to what you say, but we do have right here and now whales to talk to. And elephants too! There is this idea that to find alien minds to communicate with one has to reach out to the far cosmos. But we can't even talk to the alien minds right on our doorsteps. Maybe we should try that before we theorise that communication between two races is impossible due to distance.
