You do know movies aren't real, yeah? And it didn't bring her to an imaginary world. The being she made contact with took the form of her father because she couldn't perceive it's true form so it took the form of something more calming to her. But those are movies. Reality is different. God isn't hard to fathom? An invisible being that created the world in seven days?
Yep, they've landed on the moon and Musk has already had rocket tests where they re-enter and land. There has to be some form of terraforming in order for humans to exist on another body within our own solar system. Ultimately, because if we don't reach out and migrate through the universe we run the risk of facing extinction as a species. There will be plenty of people that want to make the trip. The difficulty will be in finding qualified candidates. Musk has enough investors along with his own capital to foot the bill.
Man, is THIS a thread I wish I had time for... I think I have a break in my schedule over the weekend. I will eagerly be revisiting this.
It will eventually happen regardless of when the calendar date is, but I read recently that 2024 may be in play.
if Elon Musk has all these ideas and concepts and somehow the money to back some of them, why isn't he working for NASA to cut their spending ??
What I mean is.....essentially what you are saying is it's easy to believe in god but all this time travel and alternate reality stuff isn't possible. I think if you're able to believe in a sentient being that created the entire world....you should be able to believe anything.
believing in God is not easy BWW. It's taking a leap of faith as they say to believe in something you can't see or feel. that's why they call it "believing." believing in time travel is a different type of believing for me and it's something that is to me not possible. im not talking about time is slower in space and the space station. you can believe or not believe in anything you want BWW. I never said you can't. that's your freedom to do so. i would love for time travel and alternate realities to be real. again, my Mom, died 26 yrs ago today. i would love to go back and see her and my Dad. i just don't believe it's possible like they show in Back to the Future. To me the past is over. What I typed 10 min ago can't be undone. i can't go back and see myself typing a post and change it. it's over.
It's not only theoretically possible, but the idea is grounded in fundamentals that we will have to know in order to start moving farther into space.
It's theoretically, mathematically, and physically possible. It just seems absurd because we haven't done it yet....the way an airplane would seem absurd to someone living in the 7th century.
I get it cat. But you DO believe in god. Yet at the same time you're struggling to believe in things that, unlike your god, actually have some theoretical possibilities. I'm not questioning your belief. I'm questioning your inability to believe in other things that would seemingly be just as far fetched as a god. Time being slower in space is exactly what time travel would be based on. Einstein said time and space are one thing...spacetime. You move through time just like you move through space. It's the same thing. You're simply cherry picking what you choose to believe in and worse yet your inability to believe in something like time travel is based on movies. Sorry but...I have an issue with that lol.
I had a REALLYYYYYYYY long post. It covered both sides, God and Science, whether it be atheism or not. Heck it never even touched on them again after the first paragraph. But then I accidentally closed the tab. I can accidentally go back a page or refresh but closing a tab kills my already typed shit. Basically I can imagine the universe just starting since time technically didn't exist before then and with space and time being interconnected I'm cool with that. Same crazy thinking exercise as if there is or isn't a God and what, why and wtf was that was before or created it. But it's crazier to think that if the universe is infinite and going to a heat death then we are so young in the lifespan. About 14 billion years. It may be a quadrillion more before the universe goes to shit with stars starting to die off on mass, galaxies no longer existing and absolute chaos. Then all protons and matter are decayed, then it all goes to black holes. But even then 10 to the power of 100 years from now until even all but the most massive of black holes evaporate. Only ones at least as big as 10 billion suns will exist. Then once those are also gone everything will be quiet as the universe slowly cools as everything gets spaced apart perfectly. A whole googol years later and the universe will forever and always be what it is. Just a nothing with no entropy whatsoever. So we are living in this really small time in the life of the universe not even taking into account infinite time after that? Is that really how the universe works? Or is there something else, whether scientific or something science can't or may never even be able to explain, God or otherwise? P.S. You can travel forward in time but it is changing you relative time with speed since space and time are space-time. You will see time normally with everything going as fast as you but your "pocket" of space is seen differently. Heck technically every time something moves it goes forward in time faster than something slower. You just need ridiculous speeds for it to matter in a lifetime. Although I believe satellites have to be adjusted for this sometimes at the less than a microsecond level. Sorry if it's confusing. I had something way better and I forced myself to get something put down while I still had it in my head.
I watch a Youtube video the other day that showed the future of the universe all the way up to the time the last star dies and all light fades out. It was somewhat depressing.
