Is anybody out there?

I was just reading that today. Then I got depressed when I realized how far 1400 light yrs is away.

-Pluto is something like .0000031 light yrs away......and it took our probe about 10 yrs to get there.
-Kepler is 1400 light yrs away.......and we not even sure 100% that it's a habitable planet.



PS. I'm likely completely off of the measurements above......I know this.......leave me alone......

Close enough. Considering the Milky Way Galaxy is 1000 light years across or so, hey it is just in the backyard.

I wonder if God planted dinosaur bones on those other planets too.

Wait till you see the unreleased pictures from the superzoom to the planet.....they have candid, uncensored shots of a barfnar quagaling a narbtard's porbakweef.

Type of stuff that would make Jenna Jameson blush. Deep web stuff.

Another little tidbit for all us amature astrophysicists on here.

Here's How Many Intelligent Alien Civilizations Might Live In Our Galaxy

The scientists at the Creation Museum disagree!

PORBAKWEEFS!!!!

I'll bet they're not natural.

120,000 light years. Your sentiment stands.

Thanks, left out a couple of zeros. They call me ol' fumble fingers

Space exploration gets me excited and depressed at the same time...

I love hearing about all of the new discoveries, but it sucks that I'll likely never have the chance to see what ultimately comes of it if we find other intelligent life.

Actually , I think they are closer than we think.

Dude made a warp drive, and it's being tested.

If you can make it to the middle of this century then you will more than likes live long enough to see some pretty cool stuff.

Everyone needs to understand something. If a person tells you they have violated a law of physics, they are wrong.

That is an incredibly uneducated statement. Newtonian physics and Quantum Physics violate each other in locality principle. Plus other break downs on the Quantum level.

This is part of the reason for the grand unified theory. (Among a lot of other things).

 

[RacerX.ksr]

I'm glad you are not capable of understanding what I said within the context of the thread. It's what makes you so much fun.

 

[-LEK-]

Sure thing guy. You constantly make statements unsupported by facts, yet I'm the fun one. God bless you.

He does a good job researching topics, or at least counter arguments, before he posts. His ability to articulate is what makes it convincing.

 

[warrior-cat]

The biggest problem I have with all of this is, up until now, the clearest pictures we have of Pluto were distorted pixel like blurred images. Now, bodies much further away are being touted as earth like even though we can't really see them, or at least make out anything with clarity.

 

[Stonewall12]

To answer the OP


no

 

[jwheat]

That warp drive could be a game changer. All this gets me excited. They are definitely out there and they can get to us. It wont be too long before we can get to them. The only question is do we want to?

 

[-LEK-]

To answer the OP


no

Thread closed. No more talk needed. Might as well shut down all the advances we are working on. Its settled. Thanks!

 

[Kaizer Sosay]

Just nod if you can hear me...

 

[cawoodsct]

Yes, we are their experiment.

 

[Wall2Boogie]

Somewhere Tom cruise, Kristy alley, and John travolta are all saying I told you so. Now sign your contract sea orgs!

Just answered the question.

This thread can go on for a year, don't matter to me hoss.

Since the thrust is provided by electricity from a solar source you have to wonder how far they could get from a source of solar energy, like our sun, before the thing quit working?

 

[RacerX.ksr]

The experiment, conducted at the Johnson Space Center in Texas, found that an electromagnetic drive, or “EMDrive,” was able to function in a vaccuum — something that even NASA has stated would defy the laws of motion.

NASA touched on the idea of warp drive on its website last month, calling the idea of traveling at light speed “simply imaginary at this point.”

“There are many ‘absurd’ theories that have become reality over the years of scientific research. But for the near future, warp drive remains a dream.”

It's settled science.

Who is calling it settled science?

I can't read

Re read the article again champ, you missed some obvious stuff. No one is close to a working warp drive. I forget this whole science stuff is over your head.
