>they would have colonized earth by now
Unless their fastest spacecraft hasn't brought them here by now...
or they never built spacecraft...
or they built spacecraft and died out before they got here...
or they aren't hell-bent on expansion...
or they come from a world so different from Earth they wouldn't/couldn't live here...
or they DID come here a billion years ago, and went extinct after a few million years...
or they have a moral objection to interfering with us...
or they were stopped at some interstellar border by a different species...
or they DID come here (pre-Cambrian) and we're their descendants...
or they DID come here (as hominids) and we're their descendants...
or they seeded Earth with life 4 billion years ago...
etc...

>I just don't get how this makes sense
Are you comparing any actual data for either the cow or the car, or are you just thinking about each and trying to guess at this based on how you fell about cars vs how you feel about cows.
And are you really only eating one cow a year?
...pleb

Let's not forget that cars have emissions control systems, while cows don't.

Code Monkey here:
IIRC, much (most?) of our DNA is superfluous "legacy" code that doesn't do much, if anything.

>infinitely large chaotic system
>inevitably

"almost certainly" yes.
"inevitably" NO.

For instance, there's no guarantee the digits "123456789" can be found in the pi.
Oh, I'm 99.9999999999999999999999% sure it's in there, BUT there's no magic reason it HAS to be in there.

I'm a white American man, but I drive a Jetta, work from home, don't water the lawn, probably waste less food than average and I don't buy a new iPad every 2 years.
Most importantly though, I don't have any kids.
If you decided to have children, you've chosen to have more impact on this planet than I ever could, even if I ate a cow a day for the rest of my life.

>What if you have two rockets travelling away from each other, then both turning around and returning to meet back where they started? So it's perfectly symmetrical.
If the acceleration is symmetrical, the time dilation is symmetrical.
If the time dilation is symmetrical, both twins come out the same age.
