re: Would ET's risk navigating the Oort Cloud to visit Earth?

It would be simple to navigate it, because a kilometer isn't jack shite when it comes to the Oort cloud. It's like asking will I directly hit a Humpback Whale when crossing over the Pacific. Sure, you may come close to one, but the chances of you directly hitting one are slim to none. In fact, I'd say it's even more preposterous than that. The cosmos is simply massive, and the asteroid belt is much more densely packed than the Oort Cloud is, and none of our probes have gotten even close to hitting an asteroid. It's really 99.9999999999999999999999999999% space compared to that remaining minuscule portion that isn't. You in all likelihood wouldn't hit any other object.

This theory is complete bullshite. A tree on the golf course is 99.99999999999999999999999% air but I still hit a limb 99.999999999999999999% of the time I try to hit through one.
