With those solar ships you can reach 1/2 of the speed of light, no more I read. Also you cant go faster than light, not according to Einsteins theory.

It would take 8 years to go to out nearest star with 1/2 of the speed of light.....

Well I didn't know exactly.. but still thats fast going even half the speed of light.

yea its fast, accually the closer to light speed we get the slower the time goes so, íf it would be possible to travel say 90% of light speed we would live 10x longer, so if u travel with 1/2 speed of light to nearest star (alpha centauri) it would take 8 years for people on earth and 4 years for you.

the odds that there is intelligent life compared to not is bigger.... someone proved this a long time ago (it is possible to find the formula used to calculate it... look it up!)!

:banana

That doesnt help for the majority of space though.

Like the places a million light years away.

The only way we would ever get to travel those massive distances is if space time can be manipulated.

Kind of like how a black hole manipulates it.

Hopefully, if aliens come on earth, and look for a human to clone on their planet to do an army or something , i really hope they will not use a retard like boobmaster for sample.

If there were only millions, i'd say no way in hell...

I believe the number your looking for is much much higher than million.:BangBang:

No Time
No Dimensions
and no Law of Physics

And I'm pretty sure there're a few other things missing.

Since Pics say more than 1000 words

Deepfield view from Hubble made in '98, each Spot shows a galaxy which contains 1-100 billion of stars.
Also these deepfield photographs shows more or less a picture of our universe how it looked like about 200-500 million after the bigbang, when it was a little "baby universe" :)

is 2nd earth traffic better than Chinese traffic?

Yeah, it'll be great! :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

"It appears that most if not the majority of the remaining 100 billion stars [in the Milky Way galaxy] have some sort of planets orbiting around them," said Butler. "We are edging closer and closer to planet systems that are like our own solar system."

im sorry.. i dont normally do this but..

what the HELL are you talking about??

Saw it on the news this morning!

Sort of scientits have the theory on Wormholes laid out, so time-travel is in theory possible, i have it in my Illustrert Videnskab-mag. but its in dansih. Sorry!

It's so refreshing to read all these posts from people with the same non religious pragmatic views I have on this issue.

In fact the quote above is EXACTLY how I feel, amazingly it's written as I would write it.

Hear Hear NIGHTFall!!

:thumbsup

travel via solar sails... maybe, but too slow.

maybe someday travel via stargates, wormholes, "serpent ropes" i.e. stargate movie/tv; contact (movie), etc will be possible.

stargates


serpent ropes / wormholes

peruvian gate found?

believe what you will... god or science, or mix of both, but we'll all be long gone by the time any of this is possible... and if any jump/hyper-space travel technology is possible in our lifetimes, we won't even have the knowledge of it or accessibility to it.

doesn't matter anyway, we'll all be saved or destroyed on December 21, 2012. :)

just for fun, I tried to buy 2012.com to do a countdown clock. here's the result of repeated attempts by me and others:

I don't want to destroy your dreams, but the universe has an age (~13,8 Billion years what I've heard the last time), it has an end and a start, and the number of planets out there isn't endless.

But I still think that there's life out there in any form :)

Aliens yes, UFOs I doubt it. Probes maybe.

Yes exactly what i said.

Assuming the odds of there being a planet around a star that was capable of producing intelligent life was 1 in 10 billion that means there would still be 1 trillion "earths" in the universe right now.

That will kind of give you a idea how it's suppose to work

I love this space-shit. I'm fascinated by those things.

Hear Hear!:thumbsup
