Actually, it doesn't. It simply assumes that any ET civilizations out there can eventually learn to travel at an average of 1/10 of one percent of light speed. If they can do that, and each new colony colonizes its nearest solar systems in turn, then the civilization should be able to fill the entire galaxy in less than a million years. ______________________________________________________________________ Steve Sloan .........
