To Help You You Understand Why Interstellar Travel Is Probably Never Going To Happen......

TTT, which bit of 'I take quite an interest in this topic' and 'I don't need to watch the video' don't you understand?   

[ToraToraTora]

If you takle such an interest why are you so against learning?

[naomi24]

TTT, I'm all for learning, TTT, which is why I don't need to watch that video.  Go patronise someone who appreciates it.

[ToraToraTora]

AH: "

TTT - If all he's doing is 'some maths', for whatever reason, then it's you jumping to the conclusion that space travel won't happen, and using his video to support your point, which it doesn't. 

That makes his video redundant, and your premise incorrect.

Any point to either?" - yes it's my conclusion, care to explain how we may achieve interstellar travel? I guess you have not looked at the video, so impervious is your anti knowledge shield.

I'm boggled by the reactions  to this video.

All we need now is someone to complain about him speeding 

[ToraToraTora]

11:49 so you accept that faster than light speed is impossible?

[andy-hughes]

TTT - I care just enough to advise you that pointless egotrips by people with a video camera and an inflated sense of self importance are a waste of valuable time.

However, I don't care enough to watch them do it, and then exchange in navel-gazing debate about a future neither of us will experience. 

Have a nice day.

[naomi24]

TTT, I very rarely say anything is 'impossible'.  Have you looked at the link I posted on your other thread?

 

This thread was about the possibility or otherwise of interstellar travel.  I think by gnawing at the 'faster than light' suggestion, you've derailed it which is a pity because it's an interesting subject.

[ToraToraTora]

OK enjoy your little world.

[andy-hughes]

Ok, enjoy your patronizing of people who don't care.

[ToraToraTora]

I will, you don't care because you've just just found out how little you know.

[ToraToraTora]

Anyway we are continuing over in the more general thread:

You may be, I have better things to do.

It's ok to go whizzing thru space but you have to have somewhere to go. Finding Earth like planets which are habitable isn't easy:

The fella in the OP's video looks like Chris Lintott co presenter of 'The Sky at night' He also co-wrote Bang! with the late Patrick Moore and Dr. Brian May.

I find it amazing that our nearest Star 'The Sun' Light takes 8mins and 20 seconds to reach us here on Earth. And we're an inner planet of our own solar system.

[ToraToraTora]

....sunlight takes 4 hours to reach Neptune!

[tomus42]

I don't really understand why the man in the video warrants any insults.

He's simply explaining scientific fact in a reasonable fashion.

[andy-hughes]

Tomus - From my perspective, almost every link to one of these talking heads, links to someone prattling on about stuff very few people care about, and this is another one of them.

I usually manage a few seconds, but they never have anything of interest to say, and I find their assumption that they are worth attention is irritating. 

Still, takes all sorts as the saying goes.

 

[tomus42]

It's just a bloke explaining something andy. He didn't prattle, he didn't proffer any ridicilous conspiracy theories, he didn't do or say anything remotely contentious or offensive.

It's odd that some people seem to have been triggered by it.

[andy-hughes]

It is tomus - its just the way some AB'ers post things like this, and expect everyone to take it as something we can't live without.

Have a good night.
