    Weird, normally it will allow me to read the story on the MSN page. This one is requiring the app.

    Has happened to me before. Refresh the page and the ‘expand article’ button will appear.

    Yeah, that’s how I got past it before. This time? Nope.

      Try the immersive reader button. Up by the favorites star, looks like an open book.

          If the light speed limit is unsurmountable, we're probably not going anywhere. Maybe J3H0V4H did it deliberately.

          Maybe for us--maybe not for others. The physical world that we know is llike a Bob Ross painting. There's the mountain, there's the cabin with smoke coming out of the chimney, there's the pine trees. But when you look around the edges there's the canvas and the tacks and the frame. The universe might be a lot more than these 5 random senses say it is.

            @Tom-K So you're saying we are one happy little accident away from interstellar conquest.

                @Tom-K Quicksilver Messenger Service was one of Jack Frost's favorite bands.

                The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                  Mine too at the time. First version of Who Do You Love I heard. Now I like George Thoroghgood’s.

                      Is that why the galaxy is so quiet?

                      If anything, technological development has picked up speed rather than slowed down.

                      There's no evidence for a limit.

                      I find e/acc a more interesting hypothesis.

                        If a civilization had the ability to search for signals from other planets even very recently, they would pass right by earth.

                        I think that there is other (intelligent) life out there but it is such a rare thing. The dinosaurs were around for millions and millions of years, and never really "evolved". If they giant meteor had not crashed into earth, would they still be "in charge"?
