>>19914367>Easy logic, actually: if you know for sure there's an inhabited house 4 blocks this way, and your house is randomly flooded, frozen, incinerated et al. , why gamble on another house that *might* be 4 blocks the other way?What?
My point is that we KNOW there is no civilization 4lightyears away. And if there were a space faring civilization at Alpha Centaury, they do not need us to contact them, they would have the tech to easily know everything about us without us contacting them.
