I love this guy. I've been following him for years. He is one of the main reasons I want to be a physics major.

probably the stupidest thing i have heard...the distance across galaxy or from one to next is thousands of light years...
even if you travel at speed of light (which is pretty much not possible) it will take thousands of years. I dont see such it is possible to have such civilizations which harness powers from stars or galaxy....

@softcock
If you heard it Properly, He said to Make a Transition from type 0 to type one, we must become a Whole and MultiCultural or emerge as a single multiracial people under a new system, which sounds a bit like Communism. Now what destroys this?
Human's nature to be Intolerant to a whole race, because of Their Culture. Terrorists are intolerant.
Soft Cock, you have a soft brain.

Anyways, I was a big racist quite a while back, but I underwent an transition within myself, and I started thinking and came to the conclusion:
"We are all Human beings, Race is not Important, we are individual, if we use our individualism to cause harm to others in society, society must fight back, not cower in the notions of Anti-life/Darwinian Fallacies, no matter his Ethnic history, because that is of course history.

We are humans, War is inevitable, we are Different, but it doesn't Matter. Lets minimize the Damage.

Race Cards are played by Racists, which in turn cause other racists.

Feelings are not important, Heritage is important, depending on what country you are in you learn their country history, your ethnic background is not important, if it is to you read a book.

If you forget your Ethnic background, you might find yourself without an identity, but if you do so, you are without a life.

We won't manage the transition.
WE DIDN"T EVEN MANAGE COMMUNISM, WITHOUT KILLING OUR OWN PEOPLE in THE PROCESS.

OMFG TERRISTS? TERRANS?

I see how this will play out soon. Protoss will soon make intelligent contact with us, but we will refuse and be engaged in a never ending xenophobic galatic war fought with minerals and vespene gas. The zerg will attack both of us and we will be forced into a temporary truce. An epic war will ensue that will only be dubbed as "3v3-BGH"

Then we'll have to wait 10 years to see how it ends.....
