Their calculations all seem to depend on (much) slower than light speed travel.
Is it beyond the realm of imagination that if a civilization reached a sufficient level of sophistication to being "colonizing the galaxy" they would know how to travel at least faster than 1/10th the speed of light (the number mentioned in the article)?
- nazgulnarsil 17y agowe can already build a ship that would go 3-5% the speed of light (Orion). Assuming that a civilization with a million year head start could only double/triple this performance is laughable.
- fh 17y agoTrue, I think that their ships would go at least a hundred times as fast. Oh wait...
