At the moment it’s one. When the human race dies out, it could drop to zero. Woolly thinking on my part.

Untrue. The Drake Equation merely tells us the average number of civilizations capable of intergalactic communication. It is possible that N << 1 and the galaxy spends most of its existence unobserved by civilizations.

What you really mean is that the Drake Equation must be greater or equal to zero.

The worst thing about the theatre/cinema is everyone else there eating and talking and kicking the back of my seat. I couldn’t imagine how bad it would be if everyone that had ever died was there. I would require my own room. And a big button to press that starts the end of the world.

With popcorn and enormous bottles of pop.

And should it happen… it will almost certainly matter very little because of the intergalactic issues as stated above.

I mean, I’d probably cover it up with some guff about humans not being worthy and the planet being better off without us but really I’d just like to try to blow the world up just to see if I could.

It’s probably why I find myself mostly siding with the super villains in films.
