Now we know why we've never been or likely to be visited by other
intelligent species. Also, if some God presides over everything, then
he's got to be a very slow thinker since thoughts must also be limited
to 3E8 and likely far less.






What WE might be limited to, should not be taken as that other life forms
would also have the same limitations.
It was concensus at one time in history that humans could never survive the
speed of steam powered trains.

Not forgetting that E.T's who evevolved hundreds of thousands of years ago
would likely have developed technologies we could never even imagine.
Or that mankind given another 10,000 years could not master time travel, and
evolved to a form that if they came from the future to the present, we
would not even recognize them as humans.

How do you know that the flying saucers we see now, are not just future
historians ?
