Peace has long been elusive in Myanmar.

The country has been mired in conflict since it gained independence from Britain in 1948, but it has been gripped by an increasingly savage civil war for the past four years.

A military junta seized power in an audacious coup in 2021. Since then, at least 60,000 people have been killed, 27,400 detained for opposing the junta, and 3.3 million driven from their homes.

But many in Myanmar are also fighting back.

even at sub light speeds the galaxy is a lot smaller than you might think

cool. now think of what happens to a human that travels at relativistic speed.

The speed at which we could populate the entire galaxy at sub relativistic speeds is also kinda mind boggling and a big reason the Fermi paradox is so strong.
