@ConscriptKing @PatriarchPrimus In 1987, we got a flash of light from a supernova in the large magelanic cloud. About 8 months later, a ring of debris lit up, indicating a radius of 0.66 light years. The viewing angle of the ring is 0.808 arc seconds. 0.66 / tan(0.808/3600 * PI / 180) = 168484 light years.

@SusannaLHarris That languages evolve in large part the same way as biological evolution. Languages mutate as children learn them imperfectly, and new features are selected based on those that are more adaptive. (We also intentionally invent words, but that’s a very small contribution.)
