I have just watched Michio Kaku on a short TV interview and am afraid disagree with something he says.........
He was discussing types of civilizations and expressed the theory that at a certain level a race can be considered immortal because it can stop ice ages and other much larger events which would be able to effectively wipe our race out......
Now I am NOT going to have this out at the legend himself and appreciate it might just be 'one of those things' lurking around in Science classes even if just there for theory but I am afraid I have to disagree with the idea that a civilization can ever be literally immortal -
bigger things have bigger problems..........with there being an infinite universe these things are always in proportion.......so it doesn't matter what size you are - the fight is always the same...........
Is the term Immortal being too literally interpreted in my rough explanation? Or would someone out there agree that in an infinite universe (one with no known end) it is absurd to say that the bigger a race gets the more immortal it is?
