Everyone who is saying that 100 years ago people didn't think we could even do the things we do now should read about Leonardo da Vince. He 500 years ago and pretty much came up with the blue prints to many machines used right now.
Someone mentioned cars. The fastest car we have now roughly goes the speed of sound. That's quite a difference from the speed of light which is still not even close to how fast we would need to go for true interstellar space travel.
The Voyager space crafts are moving around 35,000 mph. At that speed it would take the craft over 80,000 years just to get to the closest star which is around 4.3 light years away. The Milky Way is 100,000 light years across.
Before some of you start realize that nothing, and I mean nothing has been proven about multiple dimensions, worm holes and all that jazz. Yes we know that black holes, through gravity bend space time. Actually what we know is that it changes how we measure space time. Every thing is is theoretical.
Are you starting to see how far we would have advance to make this happen?
yeah, but you got to think about it, Leonardo Da Vinci lived in a time when most people thought that he was a lunatic. times were much more strict back then, the church would hardly except anything new and so it was difficult for almost ANYTHING new to be made.
times have changed, humans are more open now. we will except almost all new ideas that are put foword.
also, you do realise that the theory of relativity, though imenslly excepted, is still just a THEORY. it is not proven, though 99.9999% likely to be correct.I'm not sure how that changes my point about Vinci. My point is that there are some really intelligent people who have a good idea where technology is going in the future.
oh sorry i thought that you were saying that because Leonardo D Vinci came up with those stuff back then we should be more advanced now or something like that lol.
but yeah, i agree with you now that I know what you are talking about.
