This is off topic, but I am almost done with the book The Dark Forest, and the concept kind of terrifies me regarding extraterrestrial life.

Yeah, Voyager's already gone, it's too late.

Voyager is also very slow and will soon be very cold. I wouldn't worry. The book's premise relies on fictional physics pretty far from anything we know in the real world --- things that would cause all sorts of thermodynamic and information-theoretic havoc --- so I wouldn't worry.

You think that’s scary, just wait until you watch Jaws. Giant shark will eat you up.
