The lack of barrier between us and space has created what I and probably future scientists call the "
Manimal Sphere." This is the expanding area of the universe that Earth is filling with
Manimal broadcasts.
Manimal is a show about a man who can turn into animals that first aired in 1983, which means that right now there is a wall of half-man/half-animal 153,000,000,000,000 miles away from us in every direction, and it's traveling at the speed of light. If that didn't just explode your brain, tell your brain to quit being a fucking idiot and explode.

In the grand scheme of things, the "
Manimal Sphere" isn't very big. In fact, using Christian math, that's more like 28-- barely the distance to Iowa. The point is, we'll be long dead before that hits any star systems with cable. But if you're a couple of outer space cow rapists and you fly through a
Manimal brodcast wave, it's probably going to get you thinking.
