Michel Mayor, Nobel Winner in Physics: "Humans will not migrate to exoplanets"

This has always been the case. At least in my eyes.

What he said is absolutely correct. Y'all be thinking about warp drives and faster than light travel but those things are only in movies.

You cannot move a physical object even close to the speed of light. The best case scenario would see Humans on a planetoid of some sort that will travel for tens of thousands of years to another star.

When they say they found a planet around another star, they are not able to see it physically. They measure an almost imperceptible wobble of the star and assume that planets pulling on it as they orbit are the cause.

None of this is ground breaking stuff, you just have to

He’s right Humans will be stuck on this planet because the galactic community won’t let it happen

All they gotta do is create an Einstine-rosen bridge. The gate itself would have to be launched into space like now.

People put too much stock into titles and don't use reason.

He is making a prediction. Just because he says it doesn't mean its true or that it is likely to be true.
We don't know any developments that are around the corner.

The earth can never die it will just find a way to heal itself of the cancer and be reborn.

Well there's still the chance of asteroids, the sub exploding, maybe a black hole somewhere, or the Earth's core just dying but that's probably millions of years into the future

Iant tlaking about current tech levels

"We must take care of our planet, it is very beautiful and still absolutely liveable."

This is the only planet we have, yet we treat it like shiit.

We have to do better.

lol at the reasonings going on in this thread. no man has ever been to space because there is a barrier. they tell you, in there own way. but like has been said, the propaganda is laid on so thick, you cant perceive a world where this is the case.

The sky is made of glass, lol.

 

[Neuromancer]

He said using the means we have today. He's 77 he won't be around much longer to see what we develop.

at Flat Earth idiot squad again ruining science threads

But dude is probably right, although I doubt anybody read the article for his actual reasoning.


Even with the fastest spaceships we could build it would take hundreds of thousands of years to get to another solar system. Even if we could travel at light speed it would still take decades to get to even close stars.

How are humans supposed to survive a trip that long?


His point is that it's probably not a good idea to ruin Earth thinking we can just jump ship once it gets bad enough.

im noticing lately all one of these scientists/physicists has to do is make a statement and somebody gonna write an article about it. It almost reads like an old man saying "look at me look at me".

We could have a breakthrough at any time enabling us to travel the stars. We may already have it, the tech just hasent been released to the public yet. Just cause he couldnt develop an idea nobody else will?

 

[Maddmike]

I believe the capability to move something at the speed of light will be possible but just wont be that useful as far as travel. Who's going to navigate at those speeds, what if you hit a piece of space debris and finally, how if the hell will you stop

People treat the planet like we treat out bodies - terribly.

Think he meant black people not going.
