NOTE: 1 Light Year = 5,878,625,373,183.61 miles.



Nasa confirms!!! :eek:

It's about to be on...:lol:
 
500 years? That's it?
We're making progress!

Anything under a hundred, yet?

I know.



Usually, whenever news of a planet with earth-like conditions is discovered, the distance for light to travel there is usually several thousands to several million years. For me, 500 light years is progress.

I'm an optimistic thinker.

We will all be dead long before that shit is reached. :smh:

I'm hoping they are willing to leave, TODAY.

what if we go through all the trouble to get there and the planet look like this

500 light years is a big difference than 500 years.

:yes::yes::yes::yes:​
That is, if we were flying as fast as matter can fly, it would still take 500 years to get there, and we are not capable of flying anywhere close to the speed of light..
Light is the physical speed limit of the Universe (as far as we know) (scientists take great pains not to declare anything conclusively because things have a habit of being disproven) and the answerer was right, that's about 186,000 miles per second - or - 300,000 kilometers per second.

The shuttle travels at about 17,500 - 18,000 miles per hour when in orbit, pretty fast but nowhere near approaching light speed.

There are various theories about how we could bump up the volume so to speak. There's the famous solar-sail theory. A very large and very thin sail will unfold from the craft when in orbit, this will catch the stream of photonic particals emmited by the sun which will push the craft to higher speeds. Not anywhere near Light though.

Then there's the nuclear explosions. One a second for an hour. I don't think the wold has enough nuclear devices to make that one work.

Then there's the laser theory. You build a powerful laser ... well two because you'll need another on your destination planet/moon. These fire off and meet in the middle, one pushing, one pulling and the craft sails along the laser, exchanging pushing for pulling at the half way mark.

None of these ideas will approach even half light speed. We need to cheat. In theory, wormholes can exist but they would be miniscule and too unstable to allow a craft to pass through.

Then there's warping space (think Star Trek) but unlike my favourite TV series of all time, you won't travel through the universe, rather you will be still and the universe will move around you by folding in on itself.

No-one knows how to do this and we won't have the technology in our lifetime which sort of is a let down for Trek fans as Zephraim Cochrane is set to break the warp barrier and make contact with the first extra-terrestrial species (or the Vulcans in particular) on 5th April 2063. I'll be 97 then so lots of you will still be kicking your heels and having a whale of a time. But I digress ... in a fun way but I'm still digressing (I should be sleeeeeping, I've been on nightshift).

Yeah I saw this shit this morning. The question is why is the government wasting money exploring planets and solar systems we couldn't reach in 1000 lifetimes? :hmm:
 
500 light years is still pretty fucking close in terms of where everything else is in the universe
 


"No, no, no, light speed is too slow. Yes, we're gonna have to go right to... ludicrous speed. *gasp*"

No it's not. There are earth-like planets way closer. But it's still moot since, unless peaceful aliens come and share their warp-drive technology, we won't be seeing any of those planets. Hell, we can't even get to other planets in this solar system.

dont know if this is necesarily true
the guys who figured out the math behind warp bubbles are supposed to be tryin to make little warp bubbles in the lab to see how to make the math work

i think there was a movie where this was attempted and was a failure
