That is not visible, and there is no need to ever go anywhere. The only people who believe this are nerds who are desperately trying to convince the rest of us that doing things outside is not cool.

You obviously don't believe we're all computer simulations etc. so congratulations on being sane.

-Troika- posted:The fact that the universe isn't infested by self-replicating Von Neumann probes is pretty good circumstantial evidence that there's no other intelligent life. It might be that other races aren't dumb enough to do that. I mean, we've already got the theory and are pretty clear on it being a terrible idea, so maybe we won't do it. It's like nuclear war, it's just too dumb to actually have happen, contra Donald Trump.
