The Milky Way could be teeming with interstellar alien civilizations — we just don't know about it because they haven't paid us a visit in 10 million years.
A study published last month in The Astronomical Journal[$] posits that intelligent extraterrestrial life could be taking its time to explore the galaxy, harnessing star systems' movement to make star-hopping easier.
The work is a new response to a question known as the Fermi paradox, which asks why we haven't detected signs of extraterrestrial intelligence.

Doesn't that strike you as too convenient?
Exactly the sort of nonsense an advanced civilization would invent if they wanted to quarantine us.

Wow. Self-centered much?
If you knew anything about anything, you would know that speed of light being a constant is very important. One thing it prevents is the entire universe from "happening" at the same time.
