im just happy its not as baised here as it is in canada, even if its still very baised here

really depends state by state tbh

tho

I just dont earn money. That way i dont have to and am also not bothered by women

I wonder. Would the same people making fun of Pence for announcing the commencement of the Space Force make fun of Hillary's vice president if they did the same thing?

Or would they cheer that person on?

more then likely if same thing happened DNC wouldn't announce it (or atleast same way)

so probably not

*wants his super soldiers*

DNC is more like 'lets do military action and not talk about it xd'

Maybe when we start researching ftl and start building ships with artificial gravity we'll attract the attention of aliens.

What do you mean by FTL though? Light reaches every point in the universe immediatly. Thats from the photons frame of reference.

faster then light presumably

Yeh

i know what FTL stands for

But the question is how do you measure the speed

this all sounds very post modern ngl

but time is not objective and that means speed is not objective, either

or rather, universal

You know what he means, stop showing off.

Listen mr Niel Degrasse Foucault he obviously meant as a whole object experiencing such travel in realtime not on some atomic level

muh time dilation

Well i dont actualy know what people exactly mean by FTL. What you would think of if you look at it from a naive pov wouldnt make sense taking the nature of space and time into account.

What they mean is RLLY FAST.

listen im all for further explaining physics but i think its pretty well accepted the common conception of faster then light travel, all im saying

Don't you need something known as an alcubierre drive for FTL?

Or is that time travel

Okay heres the thing about FTL travel. You can calculate the time that passes from the reference frame a object moving relative to you rather easily. Its the squareroot of the difference of the distance they move to what light would move in the same time squared. For example, if you see an object that takes 6 seconds to move 2 lightseconds relative to you, its the squareroot of 6² - 2².

If an object were to move at the speed of light, it takes zero time from the perspective of that object...

and negative time, somehow, if it were to be even faster than light...

What laymen mean by FTL

SHUT UP I FAILED PRE-ALGEBRA WTF IS THIS GIBBERISH?!?!?

Is that you from your starting position can reach somewhere before the light from a flashlight that someone standing next to your starting position does.

That's it.

Whether it's done through a wormhole or some other not yet understood means doesn't matter.

They just mean really really really really fast

Wormholes may be able to do that, actualy. Though there are problems with that

And it means fast from the perspective of the people at the starting point, and the travelers.

Cause, if you did that twice, once reaching alpha centauri and then back, you could be back earlier than you started...
