Ooooh... Darn gravity...


I wanna travel at speed of light

[Jake]

ooooohhhhh a new wayof destroying everything...
accellerating a massive starship at light speed into earth...

[darkaao]

Thats really cool im glade Dr. Felber is with the U.S.A... lol...

That would be sweet going at the speed of light.....it would take around 8 mins to get to the sun...lol


not that we would send enyone there when we found them....cough,cough osama bin laden cough...

Well, that is certainly going to make traveling to nearby solar systems take less time. Anyone for a 4 or 5 year road trip to Alpha Weapon Centari?

[darkaao]

As long as i have my computer and internet

ohhh and food and water/pop

alpha... if i go on a 5 year trip in a little tin can im gonna get bored...

when i get bored i drink mt. dew... or surge...

you dont want to be trapped in a little can with me... in 0-Grav... after ive had about 5 of those things.

especially if im allowed to get on the radio to earth...

It still would take billions of years to visit other galaxies . But hey, we'd get to Alpha Centauri quite soon .

All we need to do now is to somehow eliminate intertia...

[darkaao]

lol...eliminate intertia..thats just crazy talk

[Spikeout]

Very much so

Many of the elite humans can stand up to 10 g's, right? That is acceleration at a rate of 98 meters per second per second. Light speed is 299,792,458 m/s. It would take 3,059,107 seconds to reach that speed. That's 50,985 minutes, 849.75 hours, or about 35 and a half days. If we tone it down a bit to 1 g, or the normal force of gravity, it would take almost an entire year to reach the speed of light.

Warp speed 3!

If the star you are aiming at is already burnt out, will the antigravity thingy work?

[Goto]

2100, not 2010.


Quite interesting, though. I think it will still be quite a while longer than that before we're zipping around the stars, though.

A little over 100 years ago, humans couldn't even fly. Our technology is advancing at an incredible rate. I might even go as far as to say it will be in my lifetime when we travel to other planets and maybe even to other stars.
