[QUOTE="jonesy, post: 7765885, member: 10324"] I hear that this space thing is large, or something. Like there's multiple places to go to. More than three, at least. And we've been here for a couple of hundred thousand years now, and we've only been to the one rock that's already married to ours. For longer than I've been alive there's been talk of getting to that rust coloured place over yonder. Still nothing. And the radio and television stuff that we've been broadcasting out there, they've reached something like 0.05% of our own galaxy. If that. There's this thing called the inverse square law which suggests that we might not even have enough broadcasting power to reach any significant distance. On top of all the incredible vastness the farthest reaches of space expanding away from us faster than the speed of light. So even in an infinite amount of time an infinite human species would not be able to explore everything. FTL is the magic acronym which could flip things around. Perhaps. Depending on how F it would be, if it were possible. Lots of if's. Very much space. So many places. [/QUOTE]
