Good but 4.5 billions years
is the age of Earth not the Universe (pedantic)

maybe Earth is online
so it couldn't have been exploring the universe for longer than it's been around, anyway. And if it's the universe that's online, how can it explore itself and, if it did, it couldn't have been online for its entire existence 'cos it'd have to exist before it could surf? So, what're you saying, huh? Being prescriptive, I say. Bit like my GP. I need a biscuit.

Hmm. Didn't think that through properly.
