## So physics that we know is taken seriously but assumed to be primitive. It is assumed that there are means to communicate over cosmic distances more or less instantaneously but physical travel requires that the travelers essentially commit to being settlers of the target of any journey which would separate them by cosmological or even intersectorial distances. Thus any expansion done after reaching the level at which it could be accomplished must be done within a relatively small radius of one's homeworld. ''Communications'' however are not limited and thus a larger, higher level universal culture exists which perforce does have the ethical level we assume for the endpoint of development. | ## So physics that we know is taken seriously but assumed to be primitive.
