Earth-like planet discovered
http://www.zeenews.com/articles.asp?...sid=27&sid=ENV
Now all we need is to be able to travel at the speed of light and we could see what's up in 20 short years. Still a pretty exciting discovery if you are into that sort of thing. |

Re: Earth-like planet discovered
Wonder if it is PC to use more than one square of TP per *visit* there?

Al Gore invented it.

Now that we've found them, I wonder if they've found us yet...

Re: Earth-like planet discovered
Stupid question (I'd make it poll, but I don't feel like starting a new thread):
The only way anyone ever sets eyes on this planet is if scientists figure out some form of faster-than-light (or light-speed) propulsion or method of travel. Will mankind ever achieve the ability to travel faster than the speed of light? If you think so, do you think soon (say, within 100 years) or far off in the future?

 But a lot of very hairy and bleeding-edge math and physics are being argued by guys like Stephen Hawking as to whether or not this is even within light years of being theoretically possible. I like to keep up on this stuff (and things like string theory) just to satisfy a base curiousness but I barely understand it on a very cursory level and have a very amateur knowledge of it. Whether or not it's even possible will maybe be deduced in 25-50 years. I'd give it actually happening a 50-50 shot in the next 100 years. The problem is, the more we find out, the more we understand we really don't know anything.
