You should start a thread, it's an interesting avenue of discussion I think...

I agree. However, I am - as I think you know - not one of those nutters with a crazy idea who just leaps in and starts promulgating it without something of substance to back it up. I've been accumulating data and understanding on the topic (at a very slow, episodic pace) for a decade or more. Still miles away from having anything that could even constitute a half-baked hypothesis.Perhaps one day.

It has been an interest of mine for many years as well, I waver back and forth about to some extent, the current data would seem to caution against it but that can be debated i think...

Well in the book I am writing a third, fourth, fifth, and etc. Species is the agenda of the main species in the story. To procreate the universe with an abundance of life, in the hopes that different species with different perspectives could yield new scientific discoveries.
