      Gradually realising that in 17776, yeah, Steely Dan probably is still together

      17776 is in the general neighbourhood of a point which I think about sometimes: the romance and tragedy of deep space probes

      Ironically it's not the probes themselves in the story which got me thinking about this again. It's the light bulb

      The probes in the story are just people, having conversations. The bulb, however, like the REAL probes, is inanimate. That's crucial

      Deep space probes represent the width of the physical footprint which humans have left on the universe. They are our high-water mark

      They are (from one particular angle), uncontestably, the most significant thing humans have ever done

      There are of course many ways to gauge and compare the significance of human activities. But "distance from home" can't not be one of them

      what makes the probes more significant than our radio transmissions then? their ability to stay perfectly coherent at that range?

      The width of our radio shell is just a different way to measure. You get a bigger number out, but photons, not physical matter

      Or you can measure lives saved. And then you're looking at semi-dwarf wheat and the eradication of smallpox, not deep space probes

          There's a whole bunch of metrics, but this is one of those metrics
