IMO
what space traveling impossible is due to tremendous amount of time is needed with the current technology and the universe is huge.. If our earth is as huge as the universe, i think i could buy a piece of land for a few cents.

HAHAHAHA..If Earth is as big as the universe they have to pay u to make u own a land...
U have to remember, Earth is part of our Sun's solar system, our solar system is just a tiny microscopic part of our galaxy which is the Milky Way and the Universe contains millions, perhaps billions of other galaxies...
So if u ask me, space travel is impossible using conventional method..even if we manage to go as fast as light it would still take us millions of years to get to the nearest galaxy..we need space warp..or space fold..or something else.....

then 1 question arise, how do we communicate?

if we use laser, which is at the speed of light, it would take million of years just to send a message

that's true....
i think we need a far more advanced way of communicating with ppl in different planets/universe

I HAVE NO IDEA!!!!!
Speed of light is so slow, or maybe the universe is too big...oh, if we're going to figure out how to do inter-galaxy travel we have to do it fast cause the universe is GROWING!!!!

if extra solar space travel happens, i think what would be likely is that each colony would be cut off from each other. and that its basically a 1 way trip.

How about wormhole? Like in Stargate? If space travel is possible, I like to travel to the end of universe. I'm always curious if the universe ever had an end, and if so, how does it really look or feel like.

Traveling through wormhole is still a theory. We are having difficulty proving wormhole's existence let alone manipulate it to travel through

Even such technology exist, you still need to physically travel to your destination to build the 'gate', so it's still back to the good old rocket riding.

At least the possibility to travel within ones life-cycle is possible with wormhole. Who say we need to travel to destination to build the 'gate'? You watch too many stargate already.

Natural wormholes that have been theorized with eccentric characteristic. They appear and disappear at their own will, having random exits, and maybe it even takes you to nowhere. It's like playing Russian roulette with a semi automatic weapon.

So the best way to travel is probably through one that is being artificially sustained/created.

There are many other way we can produce faster than light speed? I don't really think there's only light speed that is the fastest theoretical speed we could achieve. There could be like hyperspace, spacejump,... spaceflip or etc.

Even scientists are inspired by the science-fiction films to actually thought of something new for their research. Like Star Wars it inspired scientist to thought of Hyperspace.

There's something faster than the speed of light alright. Thats the speed of God.

Sorry dude, this is "The Science Lab" Thread. Read the bold word. This thread concerns science here..no God involved.

I wonder, has there been anything out there they are working on right now, even a hint of trying to research on hyperspace or hyper jumping? Or maybe its possible they need to make a ship first that large enough to do trial runs like this, like in star trek or something of the sort.
