waledud: I also realistically think that time travel could only exist in the realm of fiction & actually to such it has been confined so far. However, the idea has been explained scientifically to be one of the many offshoots or consequences of the Einstein's general theory of relativity. There are actually quite a number of routes to the concept but one popular one entails the warping of the space-time using some form of bridges called 'wormholes', which are essentially thin tubes of space-time that can connect 2 nearly flat regions of the 'space-time universe'. This particular idea is actually not science fiction as Einstein himself together with Nathan Rosen were able to theoretical demonstrate the possibility of a typical wormhole. The problem was that the wormhole they created didn't last long enough for a spaceship to go through but they posited that advances in civilization could make it possible to keep the wormhole longer. This ofcourse has not happened so far except in the stuffy little fantasy world of some sci-fi writer. The subject is actually a complicated, allbeit, a very interesting one & I tell you some crazy scientists are locked up in some obscure laboratories working their heads off on some cerebral theories to make some lofty time machine to bring about some expository time travel which they see as a solution to some world's great problem while you and I sit in the popcorn-cozy comfort of our sitting rooms watching 'Kim & Courtney take Miami'.

wild guy: With all these calculations about light years, does that mean what the scientists saw is actually 40light yrs old?

solomon111: This shows the validity of John's vision of heaven.

Omo Alata:

It'll take you 40 years to get there

Oluwa4Sure: People here saying they have plans to build a machine that will be 14,600 times faster than lighting. . .

I will not say that is impossible o. After all, nothing is impossible. . . .

But lets start with the argument that say we can build a machine that can run the speed of light. . .

Note today rocket run 300miles per minute on fuel, after generating so much eat.

So imangine the amount of heat it could generate if it runs 11,625,000 per minute


My argument is that where are you going to launch it? The heat such a machine will generate alone
will be enough to turn earth to ashes - lol

Billyonaire: That can be handled. What can be done is to load our usual rocket with a nuclear powered vehicle and also use the usual rocket fuel to launch a nuclear powered vehicle on board the rocket to space, when out of the Earth's atmosphere the secondary nuclear powered intergalactic vehicle lifts off from the rocket on the journey. All the heat dissipated will never find way into our planet.

oradee:

are u a scientist living in Nigeria? cos if yes,im sure u must be pretty frustrated wif the level of her science and tech...

Billyonaire:
I am not frustrated at all. I do not expect many people to understand Astrophysics very much cos in Nigeria we actually study much of what brings quick bucks and not what ignites the brainwaves.

real2fix: Pls i no go skul..... help me say dis fig in word 5973600000000000000000000kg and help me multiply am by 2 which is twice d earth and multiply d final answer by $50 million which will yeild the total amount of this planet...
5973600000000000000000000kg ....my God is rich ooooo...just help wit dis calculation

oradee:

dont worry,the same people who came up wif the word/figure for Million,Billion,Trillion..etc wld definitely come up wif a new set

babseg:

the next one is googleplex

if u doubt it check it up

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googleplex

seriallink: ^^^ Make we no mind scientist abi? But you dey use Internet, mobile phones and other things wey science do abi U dey go hospital when you sick too abi? All na science! But na God give man the knowledge sha, so, appreciate it! Don't criticise buddy~

Billyonaire:

That can be handled. What can be done is to load the nuclear powered intergalactic vehicle on-board our usual rocket and launch into space, when out of the Earth's atmosphere the nuclear powered intergalactic vehicle lifts off from the rocket loader and proceeds on the journey. All the heat dissipated will never find way into our planet.

muskeeto2:
40 light years not 40 years..

Travelling at the speed of light. for 40 years.. by the time u come back, u no go remember ur papa or market...

Beync: how can i find my way there?

oradee: but on the topic of UFO, how do we know it is one cos i know i keep seeing new species of creatures..

do we wait for the US to declare it a UFO or give it a name then it becomes part of us

Billyonaire: That's very limiting. I try to juggle many fields. From politics to science, Cosmology, Mysticism, Advanced Physics, yes I love physics and Industrial Chemistry.
