OT (Really don't want to crowd the Dell thread with OT posts, so this is my last of the day)

the galaxy would be saturated with signals
If the universe were that crowded the night sky would be light instead of dark. There is much more space than there is matter.

hired on with an SETI project in the '50s, now you're retiring, I'd be proud to be involved with the discovery of pulsars and the background radiation left over from the big bang. Those watchers found more than static even if they didn't hear an intergalactic I Love Lucy show.

Matter created Mind! If ... true, scratch the laws of thermodynamics, for the effect is greater than the cause.
Thermodynamics is in great shape. Entropy is on the rise as a whole even though there are areas of local complexity. Many effects are greater than their cause, imagine the last straw on the camel's back. Really the question is why after 4 billion years we aren't smarter than we seem.
