We may not be alone in this Galaxy

[lilsniffs3]

Edit: Pluto is not in Our solar system anymore. Its not even techinically a planet. It was found to be an asteroid

It's an asteroid? I thought it was a dwarf planet.

We are not alone in this galaxy

Theres Jesus.

There is no room for that on charas.

It's an asteroid? I thought it was a dwarf planet.

Perhaps you're right...but i was under the assumption that as of recently, it was declassified as a planet. I thought it was considered floating space debris that was mistaken for a planet. Its too small an far away to stay in orbit of the sun.



The mass thing...30 times the mass equals 30 times the gravity.
Im no astrophysicist, but i dont think that the plantets more rapid year (50 days to rotate the sun) will help aleiviate the massive gravity any. And I have heard nothing as to the length of the planets days.

Im not saying colonization is a destined fail. Im sure after some test tube babies were created in simulated enviornments, and put through a few hundred generations of incubated simulations and clonings and genetic splicings, we would have a version of ourselves that would easily adapt. Im sure with proper aparatus and technological research we could even live there ourselves, albeit uncomfortably...
the 45 lightyears thing is a big obstacle though, but with technology and whatnot its not that far off i think.

I canīt wait until we can prove it to the ignoramuses. Yes, not skeptics, ignoramuses.

You are aware there's a HUGE difference there, right?

[Dominicy]

Uh oh, we're getting into scientific stuff *Jumps into hidey hole*

Being 100% honest, I don't care one way or another.  I mean, it's 45 light-years (or something) away, something tells me it's not going to effect us.

Perhaps when we learn how to move 300 times the speed of light, THEN I'll take interest in this.

[Fisherson]

Hmm i have an idea on that.

No but seriosly,it possible to fuel a star ship for a life time with
just a tea spoon of antimater.That's a fact.

[Bluhman]

Sure, but that would still take way too long.

And I'm pretty sure stasis is a Sci-Fi only thing for now.

[Fisherson]

Well,no,we have a form of stasis.We just don't have good reviving process.

[Tomi]

Considering it is physically impossible for anything with any mass to move the speed of light, moving 300 times the speed of light will also be impossible.  According to theoretical physicists, the most likely way we will have of traveling that distance without some kind of stasis method requires our knowledge of warping space-time, contracting the space in front of the ship and expanding space behind the ship.  But there again, how likely is that anytime soon?

You ARE aware that anitimatter is not yet proven to exist, nor do we know the qualities of it, right?
Youre just spouting out science fiction.
Its by NO MEANS a fact.

Let's see the universe is infinity big meaning theres infinity many stars and planet, meaning theres an inifnity big chance theres life on one of the infinity many planets.

[Uberpwn_w00t]

Let's see the universe is infinity big meaning theres infinity many stars and planet, meaning theres an inifnity big chance theres life on one of the infinity many planets.

I agree with Red Fox 1000%
 
Supposedly the universe goes on forever, right? Foverever is big. Very big. Now, we know there are other planets. Itīs proven.

Somewhere in that infinite space full of galaxies, suns, and solar systems, there has to be at least one planet that supports life. To believe otherwise would simply be foolish and self-centered.

Oh yeah, and sorry for kicking the thread, (not really, it has only had 4 days of inactivity) but Iīm in a hotel at Carillo Puerto right now, and it doesnīt have internet, so Iīm at a little internet café place. I couldnīt pass up the opportunity to say this. xD

Tatooine is a planet proven to have life.

[Grandy]

Tatooine is a planet proven to have life.

 Didn't it explode?

[lilsniffs3]

No.

That was Alderaan.
