I found the article quite entertaining. On a television program (The Universe) it mentioned the warp drive and said that if you warp space time 100 times the speed of light (space-time expansion can exceed the speed of light) you could potentially travel 100 times the speed of light without even moving the ship. I think that this in the future could be very useful if we have to migrate from Earth (overpopulation or the fact that a Wolf-Rayet might be aimed at us).
I really didn't understand the article(although Howard did because he's Einstein and I'm Patrick from Spongebob Squarepants), but like Howard said, this is an important just in case if we have to move a mass of people to our emergency planet when it is the end of the world(or overpopulation).
This article was informative but confusing. I agree with Howard because we need to evacuate this planet incase something happens to earth or just when we need more space when there is over population.
I agree with everything that everyone said here, but I think Howard might be a little too paranoid. I mean, a Wolf-Rayet now? Plus, even if the stellar wind that is causing the stars to move toward us, it would probably take a long time, even if their mass is decreasing rapidly, because of the immense vastness of space. However, I do understand your concern for overpopulation because with the current rate of birth, in about maybe, 25 years or so the world will be overpopulated. There's just no more space! (okay right now i'm having this freaky vision of people just squeezed together over every possible inch of land that's possible to stand on. EEK!) However, if we were to colonize another planet, we would have to take a variety of different aged people, because of the lack of time dilation when the warp drive is in use. If we want to start a new colony, then we need to have as much people as possible so the genes get spread out as they have here on earth over so many years of evolution. I also hope that someone figures out how to generate exotic matter in less than 25 years, because the article says they don't know how to yet. (I think I put way too much info in this post. : )
Howard indeed makes a good point. If we were to be forced out of the earth, or supposed to migrate from the Earth to another planet, this will be very useful. Declan is also right, soon we will be overpopulated and we may have to colonize other planets. Perhaps that is another reason why we should further research other galaxies and planets, for signs of life. Even if the planet were to not have as much oxygen or has a lack of say water, maybe overtime we could evolve within our own species. Just like animals and the old primates. That would be a huge breakthrough, but it would also mean starting all over in science. Not to mention, if we were to start a new colony on another planet, we would need to somehow make enough money to fund for both planets. Not to mention how to transport goods back and forth, and all that. On the contrary, the whole "two planet" concept could be profitable, because there may be somethings nice that grows in the other planet's conditions, but do not grow on Earth's conditions. That way we could trade our goods back and forth, almost doubling the pace of living thing's evolution. By the way, this is all assuming that we were to migrate or overpopulate. The world might just make a huge agreement so that you are only allowed to have one child, but that would most likely render useless. If you actually read all this, congratulations, you just wasted some time of your life.
I agree with Arjun, because he is right that there may be some goods found on the other planet could be traded for goods found on our planet, but remember, the other planet could be uninhabited or have no life, but conditions suitable for life. Even if it had an atmosphere such as Mars's, we would still be able to construct "living-domes" as stated in my first reading assignment. We could also live in space colonies, but that possibility is ruled out because of the weakening of bones and muscles. The only way we could stop that is by creating an artificial gravity field which could be created by rotating a spaceship, but that would take enormous amounts of power. It would not mean we would have to start over in science, if we lived in the "living-domes" I mentioned earlier, we would take some of our technology on earth and possibly have new resources on that planet and we could make new additions to our technology we already have.
