Nothing is impossible. I think, therefore, I am. The best way to travel from galaxy to galaxy is by PURE THOUGHT! By the way, when's the next comet suppose to be here? I need to hitch a ride.....

For some interesting speculations on all of this, I recommend Olaf Stapledon, especially "First and Last Men" and "Star Maker". His hypothesis is that we evolve from discrete, disconnected individuals to components of a larger "super organism" and finally to what might be called "pure spirit". Detecting this form of "life" by crude physical instrumentality located here on Earth would be near impossible. However, the more one looks at quantum entanglement and the implications thereof, the more it's possible to believe that eventually, all the spirit in the universe eventually (re-)connects.

OK, hitch a ride, but DON'T PANIC.
