They're too faint to be detected at any significant distance, but they do exist. At about 4 years and 4 months those waves reach the triple star system Alpha Centauri, around 6 years they reach Barnard's star, and at 7 years and 10 months they reach Wolf 359. I'll be able to join the Wolf 359 club in about 3 months. Joe ID: 577996 ·

Ok, the Borg collective was at Wolf 359 in StarTrek. Of course they really didn't anything but chewed up ships of course. I think it was 39 starships and around 11,000 people. And this was from one Borg cube. In SFC III I can take one out with just one starship (just have to use the right tactics). Never surrender and never give up. In the darkest hour there is always hope. ID: 578212 ·
