Default Deep Space Travel in Perspective

The very fastest space probe to date will take :

10 years to reach the very nearest star

400 MILLENNIA to travel from the center to the edge of our galaxy

Well over 6,000 MILLENNIA to reach our very nearest
neighbor galaxy, Andromeda

Keep in mind, that only a measly 2 MILLENNIA ago, will take you back
to the start of the Roman Empire !

Be sure to pack a lunch for these journeys ...

Whooops !

Getting sloppy with my math.

Should be :

The very fastest space probe to date will take :

140 MILLENNIA to reach the very nearest star

24,000,000 MILLENNIA to travel from the center to the edge of our galaxy

Over 75,000,000 MILLENNIA to reach our very nearest
neighbor galaxy, Andromeda

Keep in mind, that only a measly 2 MILLENNIA ago, will take you back
to the start of the Roman Empire !

Be sure to pack a lunch for these journeys ...

If you would learn proper English and do the proper math you would immediately

see that this is all nonsense.


You could cross the entire universe from one edge to the other in only eight

years.



And you would have artificial gravity all the way.

My "English" has absolutely nothing to do with anything.

All my analysis, bends over backwards, in favor of your perspective.

i.e. - I assume the very highest theoretical speed of c . Practical
or realistic speeds will obviously be far less that c, but even
assuming c at all times, then travel times would be as excessive as
I've cited.

Even if you assume a 1 g acceleration for the 1st half of the journey
and -g deceleration for the second half, then you would still never
achieve any speed in excess of c, as that is clearly impossible. This
is dictated by the laws of physics.

Actual travel times will always be far in excess of my estimates which
are based on the simple relationship distance = speed x time.

You could cross the entire universe from one edge to the other in only eight

years.

Do you realize how ridiculous that is ? ! Among other things, the
universe is obviously infinite so it can't, even in threory be
crossed.

And you would have artificial gravity all the way.


Ridiculous ...

Ridiculous …



More nonsense. What can you expect from an atheist? Oh I know it all created

itself somehow.

Everything stated by this athiest has been clearly backed up and
proven by the math provided.

You should try doing the same once in a while.

itself somehow.


No, because it wasn't created at all. It was always there, and will
always be there. Obviously NO God.

My Bull**** Meter is pegged all the way!

Show your math or go home empty-handed...

Well show a little respect then and capitalize the letter 'g.' Then you might

see the dawn patrol.

You would not know math if it were a pit bull and it bit you on the leg.
