How would we use wormhole technology when the nearest black hole is a lot further away than the nearest solar system? |

I believe some of us may have already left our solar system and came back. |

I think the ones that claim to have left should have just stayed gone. |

Nah, I think we'll destroy ourselves before we work together to get out of this dump of a system |

Of Course We Will Leave Our Solar System Buddy. We Already Could If We Wanted to but to travel where you know and there would have to be people who will not go insane on the vessel we can already grow food even steaks seriously and we can reuse water on our ships but we cant go to other solar systems and stuff scientists believe the closest one is 9 light years away or something like that |

Second the space travel through worm holes could actually be possible with magnets! because people believe magnets are actually bending space time with there field so it is possible to create a hole with powerful magnets and computers that can locate these worm holes |

actually thanks to relativistic time dilation, a spaceship travelling under constant 9.81meters per second acceleration would be able to cross the entire galaxy in a span of time measured by the astronauts as about twelve years. it would only take some 800 years of relative time for the same ship to reach the edge of the known universe, though by the time they got back some 20 billion years would have passed on earth and the sun would have long since boiled off the oceans, expanded to a red giant and possibly engulfed the earth, then shrunk into a white dwarf. of course the closer you get to c the more energetic the cosmic background radiation gets, to the point where if you go fast enough it becomes powerful enough to melt and boil all known matter. science fuckin owns |

I actually JUST got back from the omeganomia galaxy a couple of hours ago... It was alright. I kinda missed earth though.
I did. Edited by allpetsgotoheaven, Dec 31 2009, 04:16 AM.

It's almost impossible to tell if there is a black hole near by. The only way we can tell there is a black hole anywhere is when it is eating a star. |

Yeah, but black holes are all trifling and dramatic about their weight, and stars are so high calorie. If you catch one eating a star your just gonna piss it off! then its gonna go some some crazy diet and end up in tears on the Oprah show....who fucking wants that! |

Not going to happen under democracy. Getting to space on a big scale would require building a Space elevator and that's very expensive. We'd need a technocratic (and benevolent) dictatorship to come up with the money and organize workforce. Under democracy such a project would end up as endless pork. Once we get off the planet in large numbers, colonizing the solar system and building an interstellar spaceship would become inevitable. |

i agree definatly not in our life times we'd have to update our way of transportation to make it their fast enough and our spacecrafts would have to pilot through the kuiper belt |

That's what generation ships are for. But like I said, getting into space in large numbers is the first step and that requires cheap way to get to orbit. Simple rockets ain't gonna do it. Space elevator is the best bet despite heavy starting investment. Once people get used to living in space, generation ship equipped with nuclear powered ion engine is the logical next step. That's couple of centuries in the future, if something unforeseeable happened with technological advances. |
