In another effort to make you more knowledgeable, I am going to reveal another previously unknown piece of information. Today's lesson is on... intergalactic space travel.
Theories on how to travel to another galaxy abound. Some say the solution is simple. Others say it is nearly impossible. Here are just a sampling of the theories:
-"Just strap a jet pack to your back."
-"Utilize the nothingness of space as a fuel!"
-"Build a time machine, and go forward in time, and bring back a Space Tram©"
Obviously none of these will work, so we might as well give up. Traveling to another galaxy would take to long, and would be worthless.
"I reckon you might was well give up." - Henry Winters

Jet pack won't work.
ReplyDeleteKeely, weird science and fringe science people might beg to differ with your dismissal of utilizing the nothingness of space. Even mainstream physicists might disagree since we now know that space is full of hydrogen gas that can be scooped into a Bussard collector and even without hydrogen, space itself has odd spacetime and gravity properties.that might be used for propulsion.
The third idea of using a time machine is probably impractical though traveling through space at relativistic velocities pretty much _IS_ space travel though us IGT people propose time dilation compensation technology.
Giving up is not an option despite what Henry Winters says since we want to go deep into space and a comet like the one that hit Jupiter or a wandering black hole or the sun going nova or nasty aliens showing up in our neighborhood or simply the Earth becoming uninhabitable due to climate change or bio-terrorism or nuclear terrorism using plutonium or overpopulated (optimum pop one billion) or global police state/garrison state or some other scenario might make us want to depart Earth en masse.
