We could go across the galaxy as nomads.
Right.
But it would take us uh as a species many, many, many generations.
And in fact, this is one of the interesting points that often comes up when people talk about the Fermi.
Paradox, right?
Where are the aliens?
If they are plentiful, why haven't we seen any of them?
And the math is relatively simple.
Because if you have infinite energy sources, and even if you could travel at generation ships at, say, close to the speed of light, in a few hundred thousand years, you should have versions of your intelligent species all over the Milky Way galaxy.
We should be able to see tracks.
and planets that have lights in the dark and all kinds of stuff everywhere.
Because
you could do it.
Yeah.
That's right.
So we you know, the sun's been around for four and a half billion plus years.
