In a distant hypothetical future where galaxy colonization is achieved, what is the next frontier? Are we stuck where we are till the heat death of the universe?
>>16907499no. physical travel between points is so 21st century.we already know that quantum entanglement is real and we should have manipulated it by then
Seed ships are possible
>>16907499Andromeda is going to collide with is in the far future, so technically another galaxy will come to us
nothing can move c+ okay, it's robotic colonization in lieu of humans, ego-free 100% doable
>>16907499i think from some youtube video a dude told that people will put their brains inside a giant dyson sphere around stars.so if the procreate narrative will still exist (more of humans = good), then continued galaxies colonizations will lead to a giant hyper mind of interconnected human brains.hyper mind = a very close approximation to an omniscient being. maybe the next frontier will be literally creating a universe?although this hypothesis stands on "human brains inside a dyson sphere". maybe AI controlled von neumann probes will colonize galaxies, so the next natural step - superclusters and beyond (multiverse, if exists).
>>16910956What does ftl has to do with robotic vs. non-robotic colonization you brainrotten moron?
>>16907499the human race will cease to exist billions of years before the earth is destroyed by the sun when it becomes a red giant.hell if humans are around in 100 years at a technology stage above the stone age I would be shocked.don't worry though AI will kill us all in about 20 years.
>>16910986NTA but there is a problem with the faster you go the more radiation you will encounter. think what happens when your car sits in a light rain. as you start driving the rain starts to hit the windshield more and more frequently and the faster you go the more it floods your view.now replace rain with neutrinos, gamma rays, and whatever other sources of nasty particles that go right through most metals and you see problem with putting people in space ships.go really super fast and die from radiation exposure.this was written about at length in one of Robert L. Forwards books as a major problem to be overcome.
>>16907499>till the heat death of the universe?Insufficient data for a meaningful answer.
>>16907499Alien ships can go much further than just our current universe. I was theorizing how many universes were made are in our grouping. Many, and when I was in caught in a naturally occurring Tardis singularity, my captor took me to universes of different physical strengths.
>>16907499wormholes to other galaxies? Alcubierre drives? Reversing time?
>>16907499>Hyperintelligent intergalactic travellers sign peace amd secrecy treaties with the U.S and Is*ael
galaxy???
There are loads of plans being discussed at the minute. It's just kinda expensive to put into action right now. We can run sims and do calculations but putting shit in space can still fail at any time so we have to make more plans and wait until the costs come down to try more stuff. Using the moon is a big thing right now.
>>16907499>what is the next frontier?find a way to destroy the universe and end the simulation.
>>16917562>We can run sims We're going to Mars! Thank you Tesla.
>>16917578A robot colony is being looked at for mars due to the time and effort that would have to be spent making it habitable. If the robots work well not impossible to see life on mars in maybe a 100 years or so.
>>16907499yt peepoo and east azns are going exticnt , I dont know where you're getting your hopes for space colonization from
>>16907499I mean some super civilization by that point could probably spread to other galaxies pretty easily. They'd never be able to reach most of the universe due to the expansion of space, but even just reaching a tiny fraction of the nearby observable universe is still 1000's of galaxies. If their technology is advanced enough to traval at arbitrarily high fractions of c they may even be able to cross those intergalactic distances in only years or decades of subjective time for the crew.
Seeking expansion beyond what is necessary to survive and thrive is retarded. What is the point of colonizing 1 billion galaxies over say.. 12 solar systems?
>>16918725That does pose an interesting dilemma. The argument for colonoizing another planet is based on increasing a species survival against cosmic elements such as large asteroids, late stage sun activity or even ourselves. For our solar system colonizing Mars and possibly Titan fulfills those survival requirements. The argument for doing this is clear and straightforward. Doing this alone could possibly secure our survival for hundreds of millions of years. Beyond that the argument for spending more resources on futher colonization to other solar systems gets harder as there's only the threat of the Sun's death itself. Which is 3-5 billion years in the future.But at least the argument to do so is still there and coherent enough to recognize an existential threat.However what exactly is the argument for colonoizing another Galaxy based off the survival needs? The Andromeda Galaxy collision? That's around 4 billion years in the future and it may not even happen at all.
>>16918725Survival of our drive.
>>16918725>Seeking expansion beyond what is necessary to survive and thrive is retarded. What is the point of colonizing 1 billion galaxies over say.. 12 solar systems?You're basically trying to reason with cancer cells, thinking they'll change their nature by asking them "what's the point of cancer?"
>>16918740>Doing this alone could possibly secure our survival for hundreds of millions of years.>our survival>ourI like how you identify with a cancerous tumor to the point where you believe you'll survive hundreds of millions of years if it does.
>>16907499The next frontier is even worse endless wars, unfathomable suffering and untold trillions of deaths.We can't achieve peace with our own species, on our own planet. Imagine how much worse it'll be. After due to time and physical isolation on different planets, we diverged genetically and culturally. And since it's not your planet getting nuked, or sent super-viruses, or getting grey-goo'd, MAD doesn't apply.
