I was gazing at the Sculptor (Silver Dollar) Galaxy on Thursday night and was wondering whether anyone (anything?) was gazing back. I wondered whether that somebody (something) was as mesmerized at our Milky Way as I was at its Sculptor, teasing out every detail possible, waiting for the atmosphere to clear for that moment of clarity etc. I wondered what name it had given our Milky Way and how we would ever travel the 11.5 million light years separating us so that we could get to know each other and share notes on our observations. An hour passed by so quickly as I wondered....
I don't know whether the evolution of intelligent life is inevitable, but I like the idea that it could be.
