Habitable Exoplanet Confirmed

[kingGhost]

travelling at light speed or faster

ummmm.....

[esfandyar]

take a note from Star Trek and be like the traveller. All you gotta do is think it, and it will happen. The power of thought people ok??!?

Data is the best bro. Did you see him look at Jordie, like, are you seeing this shit too bro? Good times.

travelling at light speed or faster

ummmm.....

yes we can obama poster

i'd like to see your math on that haha...

technically if you could bend spacetime and create a shortcut, you would technically be travelling faster than light, but there's no way to accelerate past the speed of light.

ahaha

data is emotionless but expressed dumbfoundedness.. poor form data but at the same time he banged tasha.

[jrisreal]

remember if you're travelling at light speed or faster, you don't age as quickly either.

that's what i hear anyway.

still... 20 or so years to get there. LONG

knell, it's this sort of thinking that is going to prevent me from carousing with hot alien chicks on far away moons.

[fractal]

what about sailing on a stream of tachyons?

[knell]

hey kG, i even gave you a feasible way of traveling vast distances! we don't need to go faster than the speed of light if we can make things come closer to us! you'll be carousing in no time.

oh and finji, it's ~5.6 earth masses (minimum). so pretty flippin big.

[fractal]

loops/wormholes won't work unless we can manipulate cosmic strings imho

[nowaysj]

Are you saying we'll be traveling in a giant rainbow colored penis? Cause I don't know if I'm down with that.

[knell]

yeah the science is way off, was just going for a long shot because i want to go there, damnit!


oh and this from the wiki is interesting:

In October 2008, members of the networking website Bebo beamed A Message From Earth, a high-power transmission at Gliese 581, using the RT-70 radio telescope belonging to the National Space Agency of Ukraine. This transmission is due to arrive in the Gliese 581 system's vicinity by the year 2029; the earliest possible arrival for a response, should there be one, would be in 2049.

...And:

No.

Turns out it's not actually an exoplanet but an ex-planet (or so they say.)

The Exoplanet That Wasn’t There
