Animals and people en masse drift around expanding like gas molecules
out of an open bottle of pop.
They reproduce without bound to a point food starts to get noticably scare 
where they are so the move on down the coast a bit.
A few 1000s ys of random drifting and they're all the way across
the Pacific.
Hell. After a couple 1000s ys they're thinking time to go and
colonise the next planet over. 
It must be like a universal law or something.  Hold the presses. 
Call it sommin catchin like "galactic diffusion".

ABSTRACT We model the settlement of the galaxy by space-faring civilizations 
in order to address issues related to the Fermi Paradox. We are motivated to 
explore the problem in a way that avoids assumptions about the `agency' 
(i.e. question s of intent and motivation) of any exo-civilization seeking 
to settle other planetary systems. We begin by considering the speed of an 
advancing settlement front to determine if the galaxy can become inhabited 
with space-faring civilizations on timescales shorter than its age. Our 
models for the front speed include the directed settlement of nearby 
settleable systems through the launching of probes with a finite velocity and 
range. We also include the effect of stellar motions on the long term behavior 
of the settlement front which adds a diffusive component to its advance.
