Edit: This is just in case anyone is interested or wants to take it as a point of departure, for discussion. The article does not reflect my personal viewpoint, though it might reflect yours. Personally I might subscribe to the part about postbiological evolution (where animals evolve to live in cold dry vacuum instead of warm moist pressurized environments like now and start being made of other materials than meat). But that is not what the article is about.

Very interesting Marcus :cool:

I am in the process of finishing off my 'Magnus-Opus' post/short story!..called: You cannot travel to your own past history, but you can travel to other civilization histories.

I intend to make use of the content of linked paper you have provided, many thanks, amazing.

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b. I start this...
