In a thousand years, we will have reached the limits of the possible. If time travel is possible at all in this universe, we will be doing it; if faster-than-light travel is possible at all, we'll be doing that, too. I'm becoming increasingly pessimistic about the likelihood of extraterrestrial life — if it exists at all, anywhere in the universe, I suspect it's very rare — but by the end of the next millennium we won't be alone, regardless. Rather, we will have created all sorts of new lifeforms, including other radically different intelligent beings.
