## Because of the dilation of time, if travellers ''are'' willing to seperate themselves permanently in time from their homeworlds, and have the means to travel near c, they can reach any point in roughly the amount of time the Earth has been generating an EMF cone. | ## Because of the dilation of time, if travellers ''are'' willing to seperate themselves permanently in time from their homeworlds, and have the means to travel near c, they can reach any point in roughly the amount of time the Earth has been generating an EMF cone. | ||

## Although Saurians are the dominant form that develops on Earth-like planets, and Earth like planets are the majority of those that do develop SC, there is a good deal of variety and the physical constraints mean that the general culture is one that operates as pure culture if you will. The local material cultures interact with each other perforce but not as equals because even after the technological singularity which allows them to be aware of the cosmic social order, development continues and there is an economics of cultural interchange between local cultures. | ## Although Saurians are the dominant form that develops on Earth-like planets, and Earth like planets are the majority of those that do develop SC, there is a good deal of variety and the physical constraints mean that the general culture is one that operates as pure culture if you will.

## The primary relations races have is with others like themselves. However these are predominantly through the cosmic, non-material culture because the distribution of races throughout space is random. | ## The primary relations races have is with others like themselves.

## Once species connect with others like themselves, they have variously increased means to expand their material basis locally so that in that sense different broad kinds of lifeforms compete for suitable real estate in their collective neighborhoods. | |||

## The Milky Way actually has only two planets with intelligent life the other being a saurian race (SR) that reached the singularity a few thousand years ago and detected EM transmissions from Earth within a few decades of them being sent and have dispatched first physical contact teams. The actual distance to their homeworld is about 30K ly. | ## The Milky Way actually has only two planets with intelligent life the other being a saurian race (SR) that reached the singularity a few thousand years ago and detected EM transmissions from Earth within a few decades of them being sent and have dispatched first physical contact teams.

## The SR is obliged under norms of civilized behavior in the CC to make others aware of Earth but physics being done in the present time also accomplishes this so that the physics runs are for that reason unavoidably associated with first contact (via CC) . | ## The SR is obliged under norms of civilized behavior in the CC to make others aware of Earth but physics being done in the present time also accomplishes this so that the physics runs are for that reason unavoidably associated with first contact (via CC) . | ||
