To Help You You Understand Why Interstellar Travel Is Probably Never Going To Happen......

naomi: "In a thousand years, it is perfectly feasible that light years can be passed in nanoseconds." - err no it is not, there are many explanations"

"That only takes basic imagination, something this man clearly lacks." - err no it only takes basic physics that you clearly lack.

this video is quite good by a respected physicist but there are many

&t=6s

Surely the video is about the distance to the nearest star and putting that into perspective, not about how long it would take to reach it?

TTT, I haven't mentioned intellect but I do think it's rather short-sighted to assume that science in respect of space travel will not progress beyond today's capabilities.  

[naomi24]

TTT, //naomi: "In a thousand years, it is perfectly feasible that light years can be passed in nanoseconds." //

 

Not me guv.  Someone else said that.

[ToraToraTora]

AH: "

Another numpty who thinks talking to a camera automatically confers gravitas and expertise.

His theory depends entirely on the supposition that space travel will always be conducted at the speed it is now.

In a thousand years, it is perfectly feasible that light years can be passed in nanoseconds.

That only takes basic imagination, something this man clearly lacks." - well Naomi and Andy unitied by ignorance who'd have thunk it? ok Even at light speed it's not practical and that is not acheivable here's why? From about 3mins is a very good analogy:

&t=6s

Andy/Naomi watch the video. It's a fermilab PHd guy.

TTT, //Naomi and Andy unitied by ignorance who'd have thunk it?//

 

I'm not ignorant.  I take quite an interest in this topic.

[ToraToraTora]

Basically we have people with no understanding berating a guy who's trying to explain something to people with no understanding! PMSL!

[naomi24]

TTT. I don't need to watch the video.  I haven't suggested travelling faster than light.  I think you need to take a breather.  You're getting confused.

[ToraToraTora]

AH: "TTT - The man effortlessly demonstrates the limit of his own intellect." - all he did was some arithmetic to demonstrate how far away the nearest star is. Not sure why that qualifies him for abuse.

[naomi24]

TTT, I'm not sure how anything other people have said qualifies me for abuse either - but that doesn't seem to stop you.

[ToraToraTora]

11:11 ook sorry it was Ah that said the light travel stuff but still a bit rude with "He clearly finds it difficult to extend his imagination beyond the present.  I turned it off when he got in his car.  (Who is he anyway?)." - just a bloke doing some arithmetic, not sure why you seem to find that so abhorrent. He made no predictions, analyses etc.

[bednobs]

naomi, dont forget that when other people do it it's being nasty, or trolling.  When TTT does it he's merely pointing out the truth

[ToraToraTora]

11:16, what abuse have I given you?

[ToraToraTora]

namoi: "I'm not ignorant.  I take quite an interest in this topic." - then watch the video and lear why faster than Light travel will never be possible. Perhaps even AH will do that too.

[andy-hughes]

TTT - Assuming travel faster than light will never be possible is an assumption based on current knowledge.

Go back just 200 years and suggest transatlantic flight on a commercial level, you would get the same response. 

Lack of imagination.

Science is limitless in its possibility, only lack of imagination keeps it at today's levels of understanding. 

[naomi24]

TTT, I don't need to watch the video - and as for your man and his car, for all I know he may as well be Hymie's mate Phil and he's not telling me anything I didn't already know anyway.  Thank you for the apology.

[ToraToraTora]

AH: "TTT - Assuming travel faster than light will never be possible is an assumption based on current knowledge." - watch the video.

"Go back just 200 years and suggest transatlantic flight on a commercial level, you would get the same response. " - not remotely comparable.

"Lack of imagination." - The guy just did some arithmetic, he didn't "imagine" anything

[ToraToraTora]

Naomi: "TTT, I don't need to watch the video - and as for your man and his car, for all I know he may as well be Hymie's mate Phil and he's not telling me anything I didn't already know anyway.  Thank you for the apology" - It's Dr Don Lincoln, well known in Physics circles, he works at fermilab, the key observation is from Einstein's mentor, Herman Minkowski, over 100 years ago. It is accepted by physics generally. Please try and get some knowledge, just watch for a few minutes from 3mins in. Something might resonate. This is not one of hymie's propaganmda videos.

TTT - If all he's doing is 'some maths', for whatever reason, then it's you jumping to the conclusion that space travel won't happen, and using his video to support your point, which it doesn't. 

That makes his video redundant, and your premise incorrect.

Any point to either?
