@Demobot1 Any idea how hard it is for us to just send a probe to Saturn? Our fastest ever vehicles have reached some 65,000 mph, at that rate it would take some 70,000 yrs to reach the NEAREST star system only 4 light yrs away.
We have good reason to believe the speed of light (actually speed of causality) is an absolute limit. All our physics falls apart if it's not. Traveling even 20% light sp. is incredibly problematic for us to contemplate, hitting a grain of sand at that sp is like a small nuclear blast and space ain't empty.
There are some 500,000,000,000 planets in our galaxy, sure they could be visiting every one over a mere couple million yrs, not a long time. But the best evidence we have is UAPs, no sign of them at all the millions of stars we've look at for decades.
It's also highly likely that technological civilizations are inherently fragile and snuff themselves out as fast as they arise. I don't see a way around that, could be a lack of imagination or not.
WE are near the point that a single individual, any of us, can terminate our civilization, send us back to the stone age. How do we avoid that when we know there are millions of individuals who'd definitely pull that trigger if they could?
