I agree; any galaxy that produces even one civilization capable of launching self-reproducing interstellar probes will never be the same afterwards; it's like a phase change. We don't observe any activity from Bracewell - von Neumann probes today -- nothing is rampaging through our asteroid belt turning it into new probes. The thing to remember is that given enough time and space, nearly every event has probability 0 or 1. BvN probes are either impossible or inevitable. |
