RE: One Bit News - Technology - Issue 15
with our current scientific and technological progress, I can say yes we can manage to send such a spacecraft to Proximal Centauri b in the next few decades. But if we found this planet habitable, Which I exclude because this requires several conditions similar to those on earth, how can people with such mass go there? I think this will take several decades if not less than several centuries to acheave this goal.
I think travelling at light speed is impossible for human being.
Have you ever heard about teleportation ?
Anyone of you have ever heard about Philadelphia Experiment ?
yes you are right @souada. In my view, a physical body like that of a human being can not move at the speed of light. Unless we talk about teleportation. in this case, we enter the field of parapsychology and science fiction.
Hi @hasmez and @souada
It is possible for a human being to accelerate to light speed without any severe consequences, even with a moderate acceleration of 1G (9,8 m/s) a traveler will reach close to lightspeed in approximately 350 days. (remember, 1g will feel like standing on mother earth) ;)
The tricky part is that you will have to carry with you energy in some form to propel your craft, and the amount of energy needed will be enormous. That's why the suggested craft in the article above weighs in at about 1 gram.
