Re: A serious issue with space exploration

– the reason why much good SF, such as “Contact”, tells tales of humans finding such systems already built by ancient civilizations, rather than building them ourselves
Just as we discovered radio waves then invented a radio receiver -transmitter, or discovered other properties of quantum mechanics that advance communication, we may just find a vast network of communication system that been in place for thousands of years. To be connected to the universal web of information. That's all you would need. Any ideas on this Craig ? it would have to be faster than light communication for it to be of practice use, unless it was in the form of a embedded information a “Basic Guide to the universe.”

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
