Civilizations elsewhere...

Since all methods for traveling near the speed of light or actually beyond it seem to be impractical, we must see what can be done at low speeds..

"Despite the huge number of planets, the combination of conditions needed for an advanced technological civilization eliminates so many that the incidence of possible civilizations is relatively slight. Then there is the problem of communication. Distances are so vast and the time for messages traveling even at the speed of light is so immense that messages sent by a civilized community might not reach us for centuries. And then there is the problem of interpreting the messages. Just as man so far has been unable to translate the language of the dolphin into human terms, so the language of distant civilizations may pose problems. There is much to be learned before we will be able to communicate with, and perhaps learn from, the nearest civilizations that undoubtedly exist."

The patient and steadfast shall be rewarded. Be vigilant.
