If an extraterrestrial warp drive collapses, we might be able to sense the resulting gravitational waves from Earth.

We need to just work on making our own. Then the Vulcans will find us.

That’s assuming they actually use a Star Trek style warp drive when we ALL know they are actually using Navigators to jump into the Immaterium.

Whatever. Just track their warp signatures.

I propose detecting atmospheric anomalies induced by their infinite improbability drives.

Pretty hard to detect. But… probably easier than finding the petunias I guess.

It did not. That never happened. No one has ever gone beyond Warp 10. It’s infinite speed. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

So civilizations travelling at ludicrous speed won’t be discovered, so sad
