[OT] One hell of a stellar manipulation project
Ringworlds? Ha! Sphereworlds? Mere marbles!
You want to build yourself a 20 light-year diameter particle accelerator (or I suppose you could just use the one nature has kindly provided...)

Re: [OT] One hell of a stellar manipulation project
wouldn't it be an odd thing, to see proof-positive of advanced alien life (sphereworlds, quasars that blinked in morse code, whatever) but being only able to observe from afar, and not contact?

Re: [OT] One hell of a stellar manipulation projec
Ever seen the movie "Contact"? It's a crappy movie, but it has quite some significance regarding what you said, Puke.....

I was thinking the same.
Puke: As for not contacting them, I think that's probably a good thing
