I prefer to consider photon-light wave duality the progenitor of what we call gravity.
Intriguing. How so?

I think you have things a bit backwards. [...] We pose no threat to them and they don't use radio for communication any more due to its low data rate.
The quarantine is so that they don't have to listen to all the crap that we pump out 24/7. We're too noisy and too primitive.

Oh, I don't go along with the quarantine idea at all, since I find it hard to imagine that every space faring civilization out there has agreed that we should be left alone until we develop more. We can barely get two people on Earth to agree on where to go to lunch.
Space itself seems like the ultimate barrier between us and the hypothetical "them." If we never figure out how to bypass it, then we might as well have the universe to ourselves, because we're not going anywhere. Maybe there's some kind of massless psi energy out there we don't understand that allows them to at least communicate in real time throughout the universe. I don't think we're smart enough to figure it out, though. At least anytime soon. So they're still safe from our jibba-jabba.
