Why Interstellar Travel is Physically Impossible.

Aliens are not coming to visit.

Even robots atrophy.

Poor old chap .
One of the last few wedded to "Grit "Physics .

Just shows how a very capable brain can still be completely Cognitively Rigid .

Mention Consciousness to him and he folds like a squashed tomato .
Let alone , Soul,
The flicker of Consciousness that lasts the Eternity.

Already.

Humans have the ability to travel great distances in space. You just need a giant ship full of fuel and food and a lot of people. The only problem is, the people who originally embarked on the journey will be dead before they reach it, but their descendants will make it there.

The interesting thing is though, it would take a couple thousand years to get to an habitable planet in a nearby solar system, so you would see wars waged on this ship. Many empires would rise and fall before it reached its destination. Their culture would change dramatically from the culture they once had on Earth. They would be unrecognizable to us back home.

Susskind went into the physical effects prolonged languishing in space would have on the human body.

The astronauts from the space station evidenced that.

Thank God for that. There are already enough creepy things on this earth that bite, sting, and try to eat us.

you dont think eventually man will discover that we dont know everything about science and discover new ways to do things?...i mean some one back in the 1800's never thought we would be just were we are now...

 

[ShahdagMountains]

There’s an answer to that.

But l won’t.

Biology always gets you in the end.

Unless they find a way to manipulate that.

if man wants to go into space he will find a way...

I won't deny that there are other forms of technologically-advanced life forms out there, but I do agree that interstellar travel is a pipe dream.
