Decebal posted:There's literally no way we would ever run out of planets. The Universe is infinite after all. Watch less science fiction you fuckman. There are a ton of planets up there but 100% of them are useless lumps of freezing or boiling rock. [e] They're also too loving far away and we will never break the speed of light.

Germstore posted:It's possible that the first species are only now beginning to take to the stars. Spreading across the galaxy takes a long long time assuming no amount of technological advancement can make FTL travel happen. Evolvng from dirt to a human takes over 4 billion years, the galaxy is only 100,000 light years across. Even limited to c, and generously assuming that we can accelerate up to 20% of c we still arrive at a figure of 500,000 years to travel from one point on the circumference completely across to the other. So 0.0125% (1/8000th) of the time taken to evolve Donald Trump. Given that development of another species could easily have started a few million years before it did on our planet we are forced to ask, if alien life exists in our galaxy, why are they not here yet?

Decebal posted:Let's focus on more real & feasible projects, like fusion (which, by the way, is only a decade away) Fusion has been a decade away for quite a while now, 1920 if this is to be believed. Long loving decade. http://sciblogs.co.nz/guestwork/2015/03/11/the-longest-decade-the-quest-for-fusion/
