That's a misnomer, actually. Television broadcasts only travel about 50 years before disintegrating into oblivion. It's true transmissions can travel for millions of years but only if either exceptionally narrow or at extremely high power, by comparison. Either way, there's no alien colony in the Andromeda galaxy who will catch first-run episodes of "The Honeymooners".
Oh My High Reviewed by Oh My High on . If Humans simply disappeared one day... I read an awesome article about what would happen if we suddenly just disappeared. - Without our body heat and electricity in our houses most buildings would begin to crumble within 30- 50 years due to foundation rot and freeze/ thaw cycles -The NY subway would flood within 2 days, all reactors would melt down in a week -Our bronze statues however would last around 10 million years and still look much the same -There would be a very real possibility that another primate would evolve Rating: 5
