    Much like many of the stars we see above us right now tbf.

    Also looking at it another way, if they invented a telescope that could see even further back we'd go from seeing all those wonderful cornucopia of galaxies and stars to complete nothing (the big bang).

    Shows what a tiny spec we are in the great cosmos of space and time

    We cannot be the only form of "intelligent" life and at some point in our history our progress was aided by superior beings and our ultimate destiny to to travel deep into space and do the same on an undeveloped planet

    If not, what are we here for and when we destroy our planet the cosmos will be empty

    It all changed after Roswell 1947

    the world advanced in technology quicker in the following 60 years than it had in the previous 500

    Yep. If you travelled to a star approximately 95trillion kms away you could still watch Man Utd winning the Premier League on earth.

    Not really, the change came in 1959 when someone at Bell corporation invented a feasible transistor, a functioning prototype had been made in '47, but all the theoretical work was done in '26, long before Roswell. Before that there was the 6 years of WW2, that advanced the military sciences, producing jet flight, gyro guided rockets, computers etc.
    Before that was the invention of immediate communication, which is the real force behind the advances in technology. The better that became, the quicker thoughts could be exchanged, the faster we made progress.

    If Tribbles have at worst close to the same nutritional/toxic
    content as Earth indigenous livestock, global hunger is gone.
