english: They're going to be ahead of us, maybe by a few thousand years, maybe by a few millions years, but substantially ahead of us, and that means, if you can understand anything that they're going to say, then you might be able to short-circuit history by getting information from a society that's way beyond our own.
non_english: Biće napredniji od nas, nekoliko hiljada godina ispred, možda čak i nekoliko miliona godina  ispred nas, ali sigurno napredniji. Znači, ako bismo razumeli bilo šta što nam oni govore,  to bi nam dalo mogućnost da izmenimo istoriju pomoću informacija  koje bismo dobili od društva koje je puno ispred našeg.
