No, I don't have those channels unfortunately.



That will be a very interesting thing. Now they'll just have to make travel even faster.


Has anyone else seen any cool planets lately?

That would work well for ferrous metals, anything else will still collide with you.

Space is full of ferrous metal, mostly iron, but its also full of plenty of non-ferrous metals like gold, and we cant be sure that there arent items flying through space that are comprised of organic material. We havent encountered it but other galaxies could have much different materials floating around.

If im putting my thinking cap on with the future in mind i can only think of some sort of reactionary laser gun that emits lasers to obliterate things in front of you, however this still does not account fully for the disbursement of the material. Even if you blew a rock to dust as you flew at breakneck speed towards it the dust itself could destroy your ship at certain velocities. And magnets cant work 100% effectively unless we come up with some sort of super conductor to generate that amount of electricity, which even then may be too weak to stop collisions.

My gut feeling is that "warp speed" is a myth as far as real world application goes, the 3d mapping will be too difficult to guarantee you wont get killed by a pebble. I see colonization as the only option for humans to crawl across space.

warp speed/light speed etc is not possible as far as we know with the knowledge we posses atm,future may yield more breakthroughs. we could probably travel near the speed of light but not entirely, as when an object reaches lightspeed it also has infinite mass which means we would need an infinite power source to sustain it. then there is the time displacement, travelling at those speeds if earth even existed you would return to your earth an alien yourself. best bet would be to setup refueling outposts/bases on mars first then reach for outskirts of solar system. mars itself is also a risk due to the proximity of the asteroid belt, which in theory could of destroyed mars atmosphere and and trace of life on the planet.

Planets are good i guess, but after putting telescopes in outer space and actually finding out how far apart everything is and how getting to one would be pretty much impossible, I'm left with the possibility that string theory suggest the probability of multiple dimensions as ones that we might not be able to see, but ones we should really start considered as not only probable, but also highly likely.

Because manipulation of the electro magnetic field will only have an effect on ferrous metals?! Right:

basicly everything that has electrons (any matter that could damage a shapeship) can be manipulated with electromagnetic fields.

in theory we live in a universe of ten dimensions,i guess we would be 3 dimensional beings or live in the 3rd dimension however way you look at it. but what if one stage of evolution is evolving towards another dimension almost like ascending in a way. maybe that could be the future of exploration and understanding of the universe.

Sweet thread man! Some awesome pictures in here

Like interstellar right?
The other dimensions provide shirtcuts in travel, black hole

exactly. except in interstellar im sure we built them/created them sometime in distant future.

I have dont very little research in this but i found this:



wouldnt that mean that any electro magnetic barrier would need to adjust to what it is encountering based on whatever that thing's molecular makeup is? Which seems impossible when hurtling through space towards it.



i think the mars outpost will be sooner than most people think, i cant remember but i thought the journey was around 8 years with modern spacercrafts last time i read into it. That # could be way off.
