Space Travel Question...

[smokey]

The universe at the beginning exploded with incredible force. Some physists say that the expasion rate has decreased. But with how much?

Well if the initial force was light-speed, then warp (at a multiple of light speed) would be sufficient no matter what the current speed is.

We should just travel trough sub space transform our ship into some thing able of riding in between the empty space of empty space. The entire universe and even empty space is made out of strings of absolute nothing but a sub form of energy folding in on it self created by the laws of the corporeal stasis of the emptiness amassing on itself other to form mass :O

So long as we don't fly trough a singularity or get lost from the grid we can travel instantly where ever we want. So I say phase shift space ship is the way to go because mass is bound to the speed it can travel along/trough the corporeal state of empty space but what about moving time-space and swamping it with a other point in time-space?

Flying through a singularity would be the ultimate suicide, I think a wormhole is a better idea.

I suppose I did assume that we would have telescopes powerful enough. I took this as a given, seeing as we would have technology to travel faster than light. But it would be pretty awesome - just having a powerful telescope sitting a few thousand light years away, recording what happened. Very sci-fi but maybe possible one day.

It would be more practical to is some way harness micro-wormholes and then send video cameras to a certain date to observe. No need for amazing telescope technology.

How big a problem is it?
Point A (us in warp drive spaceship) with a straight line to Point B (A star), taking into account stellar drift of both us and the star, along with gravitational effects cause by other objects, such as stars, dust clouds, dark matter, along the beam of light from the star to us, over the period of time we are observing the star.
Pretty easy to calculate, when you consider that this has to be done constantly for every visible object in the flight path of the space, over the duration of the trip.

We just hope a new star was not born on that path

Awesome hyperian.

To see what was happening on earth 2000 years ago, you have to travel 2000 light years away. I wonder if the remaining photons will have enough resolution so that you can see what was going on.

And, I bet that it was overcast when all the cool stuff happened.

ROFL

If we do find a way around all the planets, stars and debris, we should turn our telescopes back to earth and see what was happening in the past. Imagine seeing the 2000 year old light from earth, and looking at jerusalem to see if jesus is there, or 5000 year old light while looking at the giza pyramids while they are being built.

Cool idea indeed , BUT if we can travel at warp speed we not need the telescopes, we could leave earth 3050 and return 2000 BC, time travelling here we come
