‘A shadow aspect? Is that what you guys are doing at JPL all day?’ ‘Well . . . I guess you can say that if we’re able to do this, and we really start to explore space, then we disprove the theory. The filter, if there is one, was early, was cellular. Which would be reassuring, at least.’ ‘Maybe. It’s another reason to go ahead with the mission. Unless it comes even later. The filter, not the technology that lets you explore space, but what you find – what you contact – when you get there.’
Shadow aspect… like “dark forest?” Three body problem territory here!
