Voyager 1 is the man-made object furthest away from Earth, not quite 14 billion miles, away, 17 light-hours. And it's taken
43 years to get that far.
The idea that "The recent dispersion of tiny satellites to the far reaches of the universe gives us the statistical evidence" is utter nonsense.
Well, these are claims by Stephen Hawking, Yuri Milner, and Mark Zuckerberg. You know they are lying somewhere. In fact, now that I have been digging into this since
Toddsterpatriot is too stupid to find out answers from his own atheist scientists, I'm not sure if they've gotten off the ground yet with their confetti satellites. Basically, the billionaires lost their money if they could not launch.
Anyway, I'm not sure how far one can get with theses satellite since it's the opposition's ideas. I'm the one who gets a good laugh when they fail.
You don't even know what "the far reaches of the universe" means. To think that we could send probes there and return data within our lifetimes is absolutely ignorant horseshit.
Sure, it's Alpha Centauri. Again, I'm not for sending confetti satellites there. Why waste money?
Laser beams are great for short to mid-range weaponry like China has developed to shoot down satellites.
Do you know the problems powering satellites even tiny ones for long distance travel with laser beams? For one, clouds and atmospheric conditions could cause you to lose your satellite or it loses its source of power.
Beam powered satellites and space craft are the wave of the future, but still have problems to overcome for long distance travel.
You're really not very good at this.
Alpha Centauri is 4.37 light-years from the Sun. Voyager 1 is travelling about 17 kilometers per second.
At that speed, it will take 77,117
years to get there.
Meanwhile, your claim that Alpha Centauri is "the far reaches of the universe" is
astoundingly ignorant. The Milky Way galaxy is estimated to be 170,000-200,000 light-years in diameter.
The observable universe is estimated to be about 45.7
billion light-years across. And the universe is far bigger than we can see.
There have been exactly
zero probes launched as you describe.
You should stop insisting you be taken seriously. You simply don't understand the basic concepts, and you're too stupid to want to learn.
Haha, you dumb twat. It isn't my ideas that I am talking about. (If it's about me, then when someone mentions lasers and satellites, I think of the military weapons that China has built to shoot down US communications satellites. Now, that's a real threat.) Instead, it's those of atheist scientist and departed Stephen Hawking. He wants to take those confetti satellites to Alpha Centauri in search of other life which may as well be the far reaches of the universe
if we are searching for life. Atheist scientists think that searching out to Alpha Centauri would give them the best chances of finding life. If there is no life until out there, then it will demonstrate that life is rare, i.e. no aliens, which was my point. Instead, they think they'll find life due to evolution and presumably abiogenesis.
Furthermore, didn't I mention the James Webb telescope already? That would be my idea of looking at the far reaches of the universe which will probably be what will hopefully come to fruition. The laser beam from Earth propelling the confetti satellites may not even be feasible. A waste of $100 million that fits the topic of this thread. Milner has already said they'll give up in 2025. That's what I've been talking about.
Okay, now what am I supposed to learn from Voyager I that you brought up? Don't you think I know how it is propelled? How is that related to the thread?
Instead, your point is how vast the observable universe is and how my saying the vast reaches of the universe doesn't fit. With the universe, even the vast reaches is not enough as it keeps expanding.
Anyway, your small dick point is to attack me as knowing nothing about science instead of learning from what I have to say and have said.
