Title: Earth-Like planets
Post by: Gordon Freeman on June 06, 2015, 08:55:12 AM
Remember when we thought that Mars and Venus would be havens for life

I bet that when we get to allegedly "earth-like" exoplanets it'll be the same situation

you may be right...well know in about a three hundred years give or take?

Given the fastest speed ever achieved by a space probe, 2.7 million years. And that's just to get to Alpha Centauri.

yes within the next ten years everyone on earth will stop having new ideas resulting in almost-space-age stasis

Woo I'm so glad warp drive will never be invented~

No, rather we'll be ded before they invent it.

what if they are already invented?

NASA's already been working on it for a while; wouldn't be surprised if a few of us lived to see it.

see

star trek does matter

like, people say it doesn't

and where did your cell phone's idea come from? star trek TOS communicators... Wouldn't be surprised if you told me that's where the idea for warp drive came from...even if not it made a lot more people drive to figure out a way to make it work...

Star Trek is chock full of inaccuracies and is completely barren of any scientific credibility. A spaceship remaining intact after skimming the surface of a star by using a magnetic field? Fat chance. Red matter? The idea is closer to anti-matter than exotic particles. And I'd like an explanation of how vertical gravity works on a spacecraft.

I did some research on Star Trek's warp drive, and the fundamental idea of it transcends from impossible to complete fantasy.
Matter-Antimatter interactions do not produce plasma, they produce energy outbursts. Potentially, the heat output could warm an outside gas to ionize into a plasma. Judging by the description given on the Star Trek Wiki, the plasma created is quark-gluon plasma, which is, to my knowledge, impossible to create just from smaller-scale matter-antimatter explosions.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

If we find a Planet we'll probably get the shez kicked out of us by the native... gases ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I'm too lazy. It's basically just the same concepts

eh if anything ill do some extensive research on it, as soon as i get motivated...ill go watch a vid by neil
