As it is said above: highly improbable.

However, this actually started to get on my nerves as much as 'the aliens are everywhere among us wohoooo' bullshit. What is the purpose here? Questioning the math? Questioning the laws of physics? What's the idea?

I think this is the good old anthropomorphism in the new age. Humans inherently think they are special in the universe and that any extra terrestrial intelligence of course should contact, may be even seek for them. It will look equally stupid, but for the sake of looking for a logic in this; if you can pitch something like this while the matter of size is clear, when you don't even have the technology of transportation in your star system -let alone the galaxy- any practical technology to seek life at least around your neighbourhood that means you are expecting a call. How laughable is that? Why? Why do they think some ET should contact human civilisation? Same vision of the middle ages with the world in the center of the universe.

Pretty much with in the same vision, we can also assume that may be they marked our species as reavers and programmed the traffic to avoid the region in general for extreme caustion.

So it's pretty much the otherway around. Even we manage to spread to other planets and moons in Solar System and live hundreds of thousands, millions of years, it is possible we might not get a contact. Ever.

Yes, we are that fucking small. Yes, it's that big. Get over it. 

 
   

I suppose? Gosh, Baruch, is retirement not agreeing with you? You never needed much to launch an odd statement. But you seem to be going to extremes immediately as of late, in al threads I happen to read your posts.

Don't feel any different.  With this string I am trying to massage the semantics.  Two cultures speaking past each other.

It is the "EU is god" and the "Dems are god" people who are extreme.  Idolatry, like primitive man eating Amazonians.  The psychopathy is strong with this decade.  We need more drugs, more protests, more STD.  Then we will get our groovy back.

Hm. Fooled me. How is Braveheart about anti-semitism?

He did say "Not about Braveheart".

Better than fearing Nazis under your bed.

For anyone interested:

1) City of Heroes is back up
2) it's on a test server (characters will get wiped)
3) the test server is still slightly unstable, but it's more stable than it has been previously (lag spikes and disconnects are fairly infrequent now)
4) Everything is a Nemesis plot
