RE: The dangers of interstellar travel

in #science8 years ago (edited)

Interesting article.
Well, the fuel problem could be discarded if the black matter surfing waves studies keeps on going ahead. If the ship takes that wave (hard enough to get it), the ship could be moving surfing on it towards wherever it wants saving all the fuel.
Light for plants, must not be a problem either because already many of the plants could grow with artificial light.
About wáter I think we could carry thousands of the gases (Hidrogen and Oxygen) compressed, what it allows a larger amount of saved space tan a liquid. Then mix them into an aboard laboratory following a similar process to the cloud's condensation.
The time, keeps on being a huge problem.

Sort:  

I haven't heard of black matter surfing. What is that? Also the gas would take a lot of space either way.

That's a bit summarized, but the universe's mass is about 70-90% this black mass. Imagine a rock and a river. If you throw into the river a rock, that rock will create ondulations on the waters' surface. Now, think about the same but with planets. Planets are the rocks and the black mass is the water of the river. The planet has a mass, and every rotation or traslation movement, creates an ondulation on the black mass.
This was an Einstein theory that couldn't be proven till a couple of months ago.
So, this ondulations could be useds to move over the space, if we artificially create a big and strong enough wave with a new ship system, and we surf that wave.
The problem is that you have to exactly take the wave in a precise point or it wouldn't works; not too far and not too near from the wave. Exactly at the point, what's is supposed to be hard enough.

That's it. Right!
What I called "black mass" it's "dark matter", sorry 😃
My English is not as good as I wish.

Now I have the doubt if my English was good enough to explain what I explained and being able for people to understand what I wanted to explain 😅

That thread about black mass could be a very interesting theme for making a good post. So if you make one work about, and it's well done as this one yours too, I'll vote high too.
Just giving you some ideas for future works :P
