CERN Discovers Pentaquarks

[The Resonte!]

all we need to do is increase the speed of light so we can go faster

[Ad Bot]

[Mr. Hurricane]

Our current methods of exploring space are very primitive compared to how we could explore if we had an energy source powerful enough to utilize faster than light travel.

At that current equations for FTL gimmick travel call for the mass of Jupiter to be reacted with a Jupiter mass of antimatter. There is no way to harness of store 100% of that mass, and on top of that, where the forget are we going to find an anti-Jupiter?

This is all if I recall correctly, so take it wth a grain of salt.

in the anti-milky way

ha

Alcubierre drive, look it up

[TristanLuigi]

thats just our current standard because its hard to measure > therefore find something faster.but we kinda accept that its just the placeholder equation for the time being.
and it dosnt mean much.

They're not placeholders. It is physically impossible, as far as we know, to travel FTL. The Alcubierre drive doesn't actually do that, rather it bends space around the ship so that traveling at the speed of light is relative to a different configuration of space, so the ultimate trip duration is FTL but at no point do you actually move FTL.

...I was laughing at the pun
if I thought he was wrong I would have said something

and thats why we have to make light go faster

[Alkatjo]

its predicted that by 2046 we will have a fast/efficient way to effectively go faster in space without the use of expensive rocket/nuclear technology. that's in our lifetime and as research shows, we can only go further from here. remember that research effectively doubles when we gain even the slightest of new information. look at the computer chip, what could only process mere numbers back then, can now run simulations of the loving earth itself. today isn't tomorrow, hyperdrive, ftl. it'll happen eventually. be worried about now instead of tomorrow.

In other news a Princeton University team has discovered the Weyl Fermion particle, a massless quasi-particle.

yeah the future is awesome, probably
unless politics forget it up
it always does

politics was a driving factor for putting a man on the moon

politics was a driving factor for putting a man on the moon

also a driving factor in spending 18x more on military than science in the US

and that's not even mentioning ex-military

still, politics didn't 'forget up' getting a man onto the moon.

cold war politics =/= modern politics
we don't have a motivation to show off, so we
and the, 2 party system prevents anything from happening
