Strange post, but I'm drunk and feel like rambling...
Quantum mechanics, string theory, electromagnetics, gravity...a cat on the floor
wanting attention...this is reality.
If we want to move thru space at enormous speeds the gravitational force is
the answer. Combustion mechanics, pushing from the rear is akin to
projectile weapons.--out-dated and unworkable. Pulling and pushing thru space
is our true first objective.
To reach out to the star systems ahead and push from those behind is our first
hurdle. (hurtle) hehe...
What the hell am I talking about?...Moving thru space to other solar systems.
Once we learn gravity, once physics have caught up to a clear understanding
of gravitational forces will we be able to move thru space ~at the pace~ required to
explore other solar systems, but this is the first hurdle.
Gravitational forces are the least understood forces. Tesla had a deeper
understanding of electromagnetism, but we have yet to break the ice
on the gravitational force.
If aliens do visit us, then gravitational force is their means of propulsion.
We have millenia before we understand and utilize theses forces and yet I doubt this is the GREATEST force. Possibly a conjunction of electromagnetic
and gravitational forces will open up the universe to us...many, many, genius mathematicians from now.
For now (for the next several centuries) we are doomed to plasma ion generators
pushing from the rear (which offer no feasible means of stopping or correcting
the forces of inertia on the inhabitants in the vehicle we send) and we're
stuck in our own solar system as a consequence. If you are reading and understand
this, think more deeply than would be prudent..gravity is the answer. Get out fo the
box.
On a side note, listening to Hawkings synthesized voice is mesmerizing.
Wow, two Z's in one sentence.
Four lazy men have quit picking waxed banjos...
sorry, but I like puzzles...what is cool about my last sentence?
