>>17031974AI will solve this.
well, he already has 25M subscribers. he can post whatever and will get a massive reaction
Obviously humanity will never leave the solar system.Satellites, sure that's doable - and has been done - but a habitat that can support humans indefinitely in empty space? We don't even have such a thing (other than the planet Earth itself).Maybe they will invent new humans that have no respiration or metabolism.

>>17031974They're right and it's a pretty obvious problem that's rarely addressed. Pushing the craft forward is by far the easiest problem. It's not just that colliding with a grain of dust will produce a powerful blast; much of that energy will come in the form of highly ionizing radiation. Obviously the best protection is moving the pseudo-Whipple shield really far in front of the craft so that the expanding sphere of radiation and plasma attenuates as much as possible before colliding with the craft. The problem is that the scale is fucking nuts. Just think about it; if the craft is moving at 30 000 km/s (~10% c), and the shield is 30 000 km in front of the craft, that would imply a ~1 second delay between a collision against the shield and the craft plowing through the resulting blast.It gets even better though: all this dust is MOVING! Specifically: a component of that motion will be perpendicular to the ship's direction of travel. Some of it will be moving at several km/s. There's no way around it the shield needs to be incredibly wide. That also means you'll be colliding with way more crap than you'd otherwise have to (and be bathed in the resulting radiation).Maybe someone already tackled the problem rigorously but I haven't seen any convincing solution, or proof that these events would be unlikely enough to just be ignored.
>>17031974because Earth is flatsaved you time
>>17031974There’s not much of a reason to leave the solar system for a while, but if all goes well, we should be very advanced in just a few thousand years, and it will be trivial to colonize other star systems even if it does take 10,000 years to get there, with some sort of combination of AI, cryogenesis, genetic engineering, cloning, immortality, giant spaceships, etc. Even if our colonies lose contact with Earth they’ll have all the data they’ll ever need on quartz chips that will last the whole journey (see Project Silica).
These guys never consider the possibility of waiting for rogue planetary and stellar bodies to drift by and then catching rides in their orbit.
>>17031974I tried watching last night before switching it off half way from low tier and wondered the same thing. How much knowledge the public has to know before they start to watch normal science. It literally a month of study and these clips become worthless.
>>17031974Within our own solar system we are shielded in a sort of field, so to speak.At the edge of our solar system when an object attempts to leave this protective field, it is met with the terrific powerful forces of everything outside of our solar system, a moving wall of rotating, spinning and orbiting mass and energy making up the great Orion Arm of the Galaxy.It might be analogous to something like being in a position standing still on a train platform, and stepping onto a passing magnetic bullet train going 250,000 mph
>>17032899They said within millions of years we will be closer to centre of galaxy and we could hitch rides on passing systems.There was a star that passed through our system 1 million years ago. I had a future jump to the end of Earth's time (It was a million years) and I was placed in with some miners to help drill a hole for what was coming. Later observations I saw a mass hit a Neptune moon and decimate it. At the time I didn't know much and the future people didn't have me help them calculate it. I saw the final ending of the Earth and 3 spaceships took off. One in the wrong direction, it was smaller and had an interesting dispersal from it's engine, like a large 4x spray.
>>17032899Sure let's just hitch a ride with some random object going who the fuck knows where in some random direction.Brilliant
>>17032866Is maneuvering not an option? Would we not have equipment sensitive enough to detect small fast objects like that and course correct very slightly far ahead of time? What about interception with high powered lasers? Kinetic solutions? Angled ERA? Spinning very long wires?Or just brute forcing with a hollowed out asteroid(s)?How thick would lead/water need to protect the crew from radiation?
Its a good thing too.Humanity in its current state is unfit to travel past the solar system. We would drag all our dregs along and they would destroy, pollute, and exhaust anything we found. Humans would be like locusts among the stars.Currently only a vanishingly small fraction of all Humanity is fit to exist as a space faring species. Only if that small fraction became the absolute sum total of all Humanity would it be ethical and feasible to travel among the stars.
millions of goyim will watch a half hour video telling them space big and crashing bad and basedjak over it
>>17032904I think it is the last known star to pass extremely close to our solar system was Scholz's Star, a dim binary system consisting of a red dwarf and a brown dwarf. It grazed the outer edge of the Oort Cloud about 70,000 years ago, coming within roughly 0.8 light-years (52,000 astronomical units) of the Sun. It would disturb some icy cometary bodies towards our sun.
