I did some research on "The warp drive" concept, and it sounds very tangible in theory but in practicality, "cleaver" admits one would have to manipulate the 11th dimension to form the bubble behind the ship (how the 11th dimension will be manipulated is still unknown by cleaver). But they were able to estimate the amount of energy needed "If" the "technology" was available (to manipulated the 11th dimension) which would be the same amount of energy if you were to convert the whole mass of jupiter into pure energy, via the "E=mc^2" formula, this is energy far beyond humanity can currently envision creating, thus at present I don't think the warp drive theory is possible, maybe in a another several millennia, but the concept is very tangible I give it a 15/10.we do know how big the sphere is, i dont see it as pointless discussion its just fun discussion lol. we have no idea what is Outside of our Sphere of SPace/time and that is intregeuing to the extreme to me. but now you go and hit on the other thing that teases my attention, space travel and living in space. i had actually not heard hawkings theory but it sounds very interesting. it sounds like for it to actually work you would have to go INTO the black hole, even if not all the way. you would have to go past the Event Horizon because That is where things get pulled in past the speed of light. Trying to hang around inside of the event horizon, which sits at massive temperatures due to colliding matter, and which is probably where the most radiation is for 5 whole years sounds just about as difficult a task as time travel itself.
Worm holes is definitely something i would love to learn more about as i see these as the path of least resistance to ANYWHERE and if you can bend the fabric of space, i think that at the same time you could bend time since they are very closely linked.
Another thing you should look at is the Warp drive. i know it sounds too much like star trek. i actually never watched that and found out about the warp drive, we are actually working on this technology. the idea is to Bend space behind you, making it wider like a giant Wave in the space/time fabric, and then shorten the space in front of you. Your Spacecraft would sit in between these two portions of bent space and almost literally "Surf" on the big wave to speeds greater than that of the speed of light. Some scientists in the US have actually succeeded in Bending Space, but only a very very very small amount of it, there is actually a vid out there where you can see them doing it but i cant find it now.
i havent even talked about housing and inhabiting other planets but as i said before id love to talk more about it. This Thread Was mostly for me and lord to discuss the Nothingness outside of our space time and those possibilities but as it only says Science Conversation in the name im sure Lord wouldnt mind if we expanded a little bit![]()
Regarding the black hole time travel theory, yes I do agree with you that hanging around in the event horizon for 5 years is rather far-fetched, the pull pressure by the hole is simply too high, BUT what if the shuttle was moving at extreme speeds around the circumference of the black hole a little distance out of the event horizon, would the speed over come the pull of the black hole? Or would it still swallow the shuttle? What you think. But in theory one wouldn't have to go into the event horizon for time to slow down, in fact the time above and around the black hole is still moving slower than time on earth and else where (but not so much as in the event horizon) so I think one should still be able to travel in time just by hovering beyond the event horizon of the black hole.
Now regarding the interstellar space travel and inhabiting other earth like planets, this is quite a fascinating possibility, just imagine if we were able to inhabit other solar systems out of our galaxy the milky way? Now each star in the sky that we see, represents a another sun (so to speak) with planets (roughly 8) revolving around it (solar system), now there is roughly 500+ million stars in our galaxy alone, now multiply 500 (stars) million by 8 (representing planets) then that is roughly 4.+ BILLION planets! in our milky way galaxy alone lol, our universe itself harbours 80 million galaxies, these numbers are really really really hard to comprehend by the human brain so don't even try to calculate the amount of planets that is in our universe (there trillions)!, so without a doubt i believe that there are INDEED other habitable planets and intelligent civilisations (millions maybe) apart from earth and us humans in our universe, we're just too far apart in space and time to reach each other.
Sorry if I'm going too deep, I'm really into these stuff.
