or technological civilization doesn’t last long enough for it to happen”.


I have a feeling this will turn out to be the case. I think civilizations either destroy themselves or its inhabitantts evolve to a state where they don’t care anymore. Or they fully embrace Liberalism and regress back to the ooze.

Vast distance? Piffle! Means nothing to a pair of entangled particles, they can effect each other regardless of distance. Tremendous temporal separation? Piffle! A photon crosses the Universe remaining in the present moment of it’s creation, regardless of how far it travels, because it is not traveling anywhere, it is traveling a specific when.
