Premise of project Diaspora
- From the view on a clear night, and our knowledge of phyics,
we can infer that a boundless, existential refuge lies open to us.
: cf. `^*- It rests on two physical facts — the limit of light speed and the vastness of space` @

a formidable barrier
- The limit of light speed turns distance into a formidable barrier.
+ Quote Einstein’s 1905 paper.
: e.g. http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/specrel/www/ :
For velocities greater than that of light our deliberations become meaningless
… [it] plays the part, physically, of an infinitely great velocity. …
Velocities greater than that of light have… no possibility of existence.
hazards are confined by the barrier
- Ultimately the barrier is impassable to existential hazards.
- All are confined to finite volumes of space.
we are not confined
- The barrier is not impassable to us.
- This gives us reason to believe that, by way of an ever expanding dispersal,
we can escape all existential hazards.
/ Those hazards are confined, but we are not.
