True. But 1000 years is a blink of an eye in the age of the universe
and much of the universe is billions of years older than us. If
post-sing civs built on a large scale we should see their efforts
somewhere among the older star systems.

I think it more likely that post-sing civs go tiny and speed up their
internal processing, thus freezing the outside universe from their
perspective. Speeding up your thinking changes everything.
