That's what the end of it was, my mistake. In my eyes the nature of the life would not be any different than the life that exists here. Both benevolent and malevolent forces existing in the same time and space.

Salty,

There are many existing and emerging theories that could prove our previous ideas of space, time, and distance completely obsolete.

Telsa's theories about resonant frequencies. String theory calculations tying quantum physics and relativity together use as many a 22 dimensions, most recent and credible calculations use 11 dimensions I believe. Extra dimensions answer the quantum level question of why electrons can appear to be many places and no where at the same time. Einstein's theories of worm holes bending time and space. All of these would prove we do not need to travel any distance at the speed of light to travel from one end of the universe to the other almost instantly.
