Comment We're doomed (Score 1) 199
I knew it! When life reaches a sufficient level of "intelligence", it naturally wonders about its place in the universe, and builds bigger and bigger machines in order to find the origin of everything. Errare humanum est: The thing sooner or later blows up in the face of the creator, and he/she/it travels far far away on a meteorite ... the pattern obviously repeats itself (cf. CERN LHC). Aaargh, we're doomed! Corollary: Could it be that supernovae are a sign of intelligent life?
