Thanks for the correction. That means we can cross the galaxy in 65 years.

The kids better behave or I’ll leave them at a rest stop on Orion.

I'd sign up to found New America - no commies allowed.

With a properly outfitted ship it might be kind of cool to spend your life flying out as far as you can get. I wouldn't count on finding a habitable planet though. Not based on today's data. Might not be too long before our intel is better though.

Nope, still wrong; at a width of 110,000 light-years, traversal of the Milky Way would take only 11 years traveling at a speed of 10,000 times that of light.
See here.

Yes, I dropped a decimal point and divided by 1k instead of 10k. I also used 65k light years for the diameter of our galaxy.

Thanks Bobalu.

Here’s anothher half-stick.

You’ll appreciate how fantastically incriminating the early internet - before anonymizers, proxies and spoofers - was.

The time point when Norman ASA was committing heavy data crime on the net and didn’t understand their own footprints was a little later than this.

Actually, I think we have enough of this stuff to throw hundreds of people in jail.

It’s as if the universe was actually just data and we are trying to make sense of it as if it were actually physical and real... no time, space, mass, speed or even rules.

Remove the natural 'filters' of our human sensors and you might be right.
