  • Pah, mathematicians and their generally applicable pure approach to solutions and fancy modulus operations, who needs 'em? Computing is applied and we always work with well-defined finite precision. Granted, writing the boilerplate for all possible 64 bit integers is a bit laborious, but we’re programmers! That’s what code generation is for.

    Eh. It’s not like we’d be getting anywhere at sub-light speeds regardless and a working Alcubierre drive isn’t exactly right around the corner.

    On the other hand, it might make it harder for anybody with working FTL to get to us, which is probably a good thing. If they saw how we’re conducting ourselves at the moment, orbital bombardment would be the best we could hope for.
