@any person in this thread who is going to say "technology has grown immensely in the last few millennia and therefore in the future we will probably be able to do currently outlandish concepts X and Y"
no pls

-
it's a while. which makes it an [i]especially[/i] chaotic system.
-
The time scale was chosen to allow for space faring tech to be sufficiently developed and provide a time for significant travel to happen with sub-luminal speeds. While there are seeds of FTL travel scattered here and there, it's not enough for me to be able to back up a claim that such a thing would be developed.
-
absolutely. hell i wouldn't even rule out FTL travel. my post was designed to combat the people who like to say "of course we'll do it, we've done so much so far!"
-
I know. I wasn't criticizing that, just explaining why I chose what I chose. 3000 was long enough to have [i]something[/i] happen, but 5000 would leave the door far too open I think.
-
I wasn't exactly saying you can extrapolate what would happen over a period like that. Just that it was a sufficiently long period for any number of (physically possible) things to happen(again on a human scale). Making a denial that something would happen be just as arbitrary as an affirmation that it would.
-
of course! i was just saying that you can't conclude anything. this is one of those "i didn't say i was scared" moments from jurassic park isn't it? XD
-
Haha I guess so.

Fine... [spoiler]*walks away from thread*[/spoiler]
-
D: no come back ugh i can't ever calculate the true ramifications of my posts :( [spoiler]but seriously, it's not a valid argument given how many lurking variables are at play. it's like saying "look this squirrel has been traveling in a straight line for 50 meters and picking up a lot of nuts. this means that it will hit point X on the straight vector and pick up whatever nut lies there."[/spoiler]
-
But my squirrel runs on a track!
-
I don't think anybody has said that yet
-
then maybe my post is working?
-
I AM BEOPOST! THIS IS POSTA!

pooossst!
