Title: Week 6 Discussion
Course: ASTRON103: The Evolving Universe: Stars, Galaxies, and Cosmology (001) DHH SU18 > Section: Week 6

Pop culture is riddled with massive galactic and intergalactic civilizations, governments, and societies (i.e. Star Wars, Star Trek, Babylon 5, Dark Matter, Farscape, etc).

In reality, do you think a society on the scale of an entire galaxy is practical or reasonable?

What would be some issues and drawbacks that would need to be overcome?

Would a model of numerous entirely isolated and independent civilizations work better? What problems might this type of society result in?

Note: You must make your own, original response first in order to see other students responses. You can then comment on various responses throughout the week.
