It's always puzzled me. Mars, Milky Way, Galaxy. Why are they all named after chocolate ?

I'm touched at how many of you want to give me one, even if you are all big, ugly hairy old blokes. This is really the sort of time where I wish that we had more women on Bluemoon
Nice. Do you come in female?
EDIT: I should have read that last bit before posting it

Seriously flawed. Firstly, how on earth are you planning on going faster than c? It would take more than infinite energy to accelerate anything with a rest mass to past c, and infinite energy to accelerate it to c. Secondly, time dilation occurs only at speeds under c. Thirdly, simple solution to your time dilation problem. Fly at a fraction under c, say, 0.9c so your journey is only just under 10% longer and people on earth are only 2.3 times older than the length of your trip. So, if you'd aged by 5 days, they'll have aged by 11.5 days. Simples. ;)peacefrog said:Ok but, I ain't going to away games. Even if you could travel faster than the speed of light, and you could make a round trip of 5 days to away games, by the time you got back to earth you might only be 5 days older, but the earth would have moved on by about 500 years. Everyone you knew when you left would be gone.
Faster than c?
That entirely depends really. If M Theory is correct, we could develop the technology to jump into the extra dimensions thereby eliminating our law of c. In essence, c only holds true in the frame of reference of this Universe in the 3 standard dimensions. In the 11th dimension, anything goes and there is no physical reason why we couldn't travel through space or time instantly

Enlighten me. I don't know much about string theories. Also, and crucially, could it impact on our galactic away days?Damocles said:Faster than c?

After getting abit nerdy for some years on this and other subjects, I have studied alot of photo's and literature on what we are discussing here and I agree mostly with what this genius says.
Plus we just don't know without the evidence,we don't know how far away any life is,how big or small,how intelligent,how advanced in technology nor would we know their morals and intension's.
If they had the technology to come to earth do you think they would want to be known?
After the history the human race has they would not because we would have them on a slab and cut them open before they knew about it,I believe they would be so much more advanced in intelligence and technology to keep well hidden especially if they came in peace.
If they did make them self's known we would be in so much danger whether it be to take are resources or the planet.
I don't think what this NASA scientist is saying is anything too outstanding and new but i do believe NASA have hidden and messed with photo's for what reason i don't know.

Yes. I only said that to squash a trip into 5 days which would otherwise take 5 years to the nearest star system.Skashion said:Seriously flawed.

If c is not the limit in another higher dimension ( or other universe) , then maybe our existence there is impossible. If we enter, we would evaporate like nothing has ever happened. Small properties of our universe make our existence possible. If c is not the limit, then our mass will have different properties.
If c only holds here, then we are only bound to stay here. We wouldn't be us, in the higher dimension, as the laws that allow for existence are different there.
I am quite confident that aliens do exist, in fact i am 100% confident that they do. We are not special. Question is what is the probability that these aliens can have the means to visit us. That is, out of the 50 trillion trillion ( was it? ) stars what is the probability they can reach us? If we are the needle, they would have to search through 50 trillion trillion hay stacks to find us.

I suspect intelligent life has arose rather more than twice and intelligent life could colonise entire galaxies on a timescale which, considering the age of the universe, our galaxy etc., is more than akin to man colonising a planet.BulgarianPride said:If we are the needle, they would have to search through 50 trillion trillion hay stacks to find us.
But, this brings back around the Fermi Paradox. All it would take, is one intelligent life form managing not to blow itself up or die out to colonise an entire galaxy in only fifty million years or so. So, it seems to me, that intelligent life only occurs a couple of times maximum per galaxy, that or all intelligent life blows themselves up before they get to that point. Or, not all intelligent life shares the human sense of exploration and they're quite content with where they are - I think that's unlikely though unless they're very authoritarian about population control.
