Not bad, but Neil could have provided better answer. There are a few concepts of realistic interstellar travel that do not involve warp drive, although they would not work for the intergalactic travel. I mean, they could, but it would take orders of magnitude longer to get to Andromeda and would likely involve multiple stops.

Well in reality traveling to other galaxy will be far easier than to travel within in our own galaxy if you may ask way is that simple because of( worm hole and warped drive/warping the space and time )we can use our the black hole in our galaxy to do that or I should say the black hole is doing for us after all black hole had mass that is enough to bend the time and space with its gravitational force so if we able to use the black hole we can In a sense travel through the time and space and go to the other galaxy but there will be still a problem with this method simple because black hole will only help to get the other galaxy but we have to travel within that said galaxy for that we don't have technology to be able to travel within the galaxy that Includes our own galaxy too

@maxer1312 жыл бұрын
Basically the theory behind this is that if you have an object that has enough mass, it distorts time and space around it, making it essentially fold so that you can step across that much shorter distance in a shorter time. The same method of travel is used in the book “A Wrinkle In Time”, also a great book that I heavily recommend, but the issue with this, at least currently, this is something that needs to be toggled on and off, but you can’t just make mass or matter vanish, so that means you would likely need to construct this huge item of mass every time you wanted to travel, and then break it apart and store the pieces far enough away from each other that it still doesn’t have the same effect. But it’s a theory that definitely works and we have proof of it working in observable sections of our universe

Not only did he explain the obvious question as in depth as possible, he also added the war thing meaning fuck it, we shouldn't do it even if we're capable because we're too immature and fight all the time here, of course that would just start more wars anyway. You know, Star Wars.

His last point was something I've put some thought into. I love movies like Starwars but when I consider what it would be like to have an intergalactic war I suddenly realize how bad the situation really is. If as he said we go to space and we are still killing each other back on earth. On a planet made to support life how the heck are we going to keep from killing each other up in space where resources are scarce. I can't see a way that would happen as such I think before we consider going to space we need to first grow to love each other as brothers and sisters here on earth. I was surprised to see him say exactly as I had been thinking. He's really someone who considers things really deeply and expresses them in ways that makes sense to the audience what an amazing man!

His pause was not a moment of loss of thought but the understanding that we do not comprehend on the same level that he thinks. Like a person who speak multiple languages and still has to think and mentally translate himself to communicate in each language. I hear someone speaking French, I can for the most part immediately understand what was said without having to think about. BUT, I still have to mentally translate myself from English to French before I can reply.

crichton55 that's actually pretty much the truth. We aren't intelligent enough to have been visited by them aliens. The distance factor is also true. It's not about having a machine that can break the speed of light, you'd need to break universal physics to do that which perhaps is preposterous. Bending space and time to do impossible shit is just a science fiction cooked up by us here. We don't know what kinda science fiction the aliens might have. Also why is it OK to believe that all aliens are powerful and intelligent than us? What if, imagine for a second, the notion of flight is still science fiction to them? Why do we shun ourselves down just for the comfort of having found a bleakly legit reason that we aren't alone in the universe? Think about it... :D

dk0bl1v10n Actually the time dilation is due to relativistic speeds, but inside a warp bubble it's the space around you that stretches and move, you are barely moving. So your time dilation will be almost non detectable. Look up Dr White researd on the field, it is very interesting.

I'm a Trekkie here. The Delta Quadrant is the top fourth of the milky way(I think the top upper left). I can remember they ended up in another galaxy one time. It was the TNG were Wesley and the Traveler made the enterprise go really fast. Now according to Voyager, who are stuck in the Delta Quadrant, it would take something like 75 years at maximum warp(warp 9.9) to get back to the Alpha Quadrant. In other words, even Star Trek can't really go to other galaxies.
