RE: 1:35 / 3:36 A Time Lapse Map of Every Nuclear Explosion Since 1945 by Isao Hashimoto

Nobody has proven ETs to exist, at least in our immediate neighborhood. Odds are nearly 100% that life exists elsewhere and about 99% that INTELLIGENT life exists elsewhere. It might be found that Intelligence (such as it is) is a necessary end to the evolution (not Darwinian sense) of life.

The next question is 'Are Humans Intelligent?' What are the chances for Long-Term survival as a technological species?

IF they are here, certain conclusions can be drawn about both the possibility AND actual ease / cost of interstellar travel.

If it's cheap and easy, no reason NOT to go nearly anywhere of interest. If it is possible AND very difficult / expensive, you must choose where to go carefully. Casual drop-ins are less likely.

If an actual, living breathing ET is presented and confirmed, than it's 'back to the drawing board' on a lot of levels.

Society and societal costs will factor into IF you do it, once it is found Possible.

If you believe the Universe is, for all practical purposes, Infinite, than anything that CAN happen eventually WILL. And has had maybe 13 Billion years in which to 'do' it.

Believing that cause and effect is 'infantile' is to ignore the fact that cause and effect rules. Even in the creation of life. If you are religious, God may be taken as 'first cause'.

Believing in effect without cause is a form of mysticism.

If we HAVE missed something fundamental in physics, which is theoretically possible, than a lot of stuff is back ON THE TABLE that was previously thought impossible. Magnetic Monopoles may have some practical uses!
I'd buy a Magnetic Monopole CD Treatment Engine in a metric heartbeat.
