>>13361660I'm the OP of that post. no idea how or why it devolved, I likely dosed on some sort of drug.
What I meant is that there probably is other intelligent life there, but it takes light 300 million years to transmit that data. if the earth is among the first celestial bodies that can sustain intelligent life, we wouldn't know whether or not this was true until we had come within <.1 kiloyears. otherwise, the light being transmitted is still in the midst of traveling, while the more local version of telescope images, no matter how large or sophisticated a telescope.. except, of course if we could create highly contracted tunnels in space, sparse particle regions. The the speed of light is not violated since the distance the condensed particles must travel is now shorter. Although, that's not to say that the speed of limit, or planks constants, hold any meaningful value or meaning by themselves anyways.
