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.

    I'm almost always trolling, but usually in the bestest sense of the word.

    If I understand the subject better than anyone within 100 miles, and I know damn well I don't understand it at all, what am I to do?

    I'm not above posting something that's clearly wrong and inviting anyone that has the ability to shred me. But when I'm doing that I usually write it out that way explicitly.
