Keep in mind that someone has to be first! It could be us. I don't think it is, but 15 billion years is not really that long. Our star has a lifespan of about 10 billion years and we are about half way through that. The first stars had only hydrogen and helium to work with; only a miniscule amount of heavier elements. The next generation had more heavier elements but was there enough to organize into planets and complex molecules? Our star's (and system's) generation may be the first to have sufficient complexity for life, let alone intelligent life.

We just may be the first!

I think this about sums up alien life if it does indeed exsisit.

"I am mysterious, you do not know me, be afraid."

Nuff said.

(Thank Nicholas Meyers

He says that in his commentary of Star Trek II. He says it while your looking at Kahn. Its kinda funny how it plays out. One thing is for certain though; Nicholas Meyers is narcissistic as all get out. Listen to the commentary, especially his end comments. Very self absorbed BS.)

I was reading something recently were scientist has taken particles of light and accellerated them to a few hundred times to speed of light.

For all intents in purposes, this would suit the communications technologies best for the simple speed of transmissions.

If applied to interstellar communications, than this would speed communications up.
