Found: Firm Place to Stand Outside Solar System

[Spartan117JMC]

EARTHLIKE PLANET FOUND... SEARCH FOR GLIESE 518... choose first video

[xxLeGiiT]

Still from the motherfucker video????

[InsanePickle007]

WHy do they think all life has to have water or same conditions as humans do??? What if they live off of gases??

[jwm239]

3600 degrees F - but a solid surface - sounds like a great spot to take up hang gliding, thanks to all those blazing hot thermals.

[Spartan117JMC]

@jwm239 if u got atmosphere... n' winds that is

[notonome]

500 light years away, that by the time we get there it will be like earth.

[mskiRED99]

wohhh a mskired99 planet outside the solarsystem

[Deckerb8529]

The bible is not "wise and just". It's a collection of legends just like Greek and Roman mythology.

[11thirtyfour]

Wow! I think those scientists deserve Nobel prize! They think there can be life somewhere else! Wow, must have taken them a shitload of time to figure this one out...

[st4ticblu3]

Ah crap, you found my home planet. Gotta tell my peeps. :p

[CABasque]

Blah Blah Blah Blah did you say something. I sorry it sounded like nothing.

[thorn9apc]

there is no news in this video

[Warmagus]

My nuts need something solid to rest on; like your chin biyayayayayayaaaaaaaaaatch! :D

[radsujanto]

I still dont see the point of them telling us this... it's just the same old thing 'there are prolly lives out there'

[chairde]

Well they mean that a 'GAS' planet is one where life won't take hold. In fact water is needed to exist for life as we know it to thrive.

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

I don't know how firm it would be when your legs turned into red goo.

[treid100182]

keep searching.

God knows the GOP is trying to destroy our planet, so we better find another.

[Kirkinho08]

they were just stating that they found a rocky terrain planet which isn't common at all most are gaseous that we find as for getting to one i would say 4 guys 4 girls picked out to be astronauts or already astronauts give them the best ship where they can some how produce their own food and fuel and have them reproduce on the way there and train the children growing up to take their places when they die and have those children reproduce and so forth but no clue how we could do all that xD

[bulldri9]

i welcome the aliens! beam me up Scottie!

[3star2nr]

good stuff I want to have sex with alien women

[bboucharde]

Wait in line!

:-)

[TheRedneckJunkie]

hey? we can start an alien prostitution ring ; )

[Saur]

Only Lando Calrissian can pimp hoes intergalactically. The rest of us have to simply learn to accept our place in the universe.

[TECHKLEC]

So, at 500 light years away, it would take us a minimum of 500 years to get there, disregarding acceleration and deceleration time traveling at 186,000 miles per second.

Hmmmmm...doesn't seem like wel'l be doing anything like that very soon!

[Eddyking5]

Light speed ma' man.

[TECHKLEC]

Yeah...it kind of kills any notion of interstellar travel and UFOs of extraterrestrial origin coming to Earth.

[telepylus111]

There is no speed limit to light.

[TECHKLEC]

Yes there is.

Light travels at the same speed even in fiber optics and lasers.

There are theoretical conjectures of light traveling at a faster speed, but nothing like that has ever been proven nor has it been put in to practice..

[Cre8tvMG]

Isn't saying there is no speed limit to light like saying 'there is no weight limit to 1 lb'? It is what it is. Light travels at 186,000 miles a second. That's not a limit, it is a trait. It can't go faster or slower. And, E=MC2 means that to accelerate anything with mass to the speed of light would require essentially infinite energy, so there is really no way to get humans or spaceships to approach even a small fraction of that speed. Unless TV scifi shows are real and reality is fake...

[telepylus111]

Even Einstein theorized that light has no speed limit, do a little research.

The human bodymind is a SpaceShip capable of transcending time & space. I'm not certain who first theorized this idea, Jesus?

[Cre8tvMG]

Well, I read the whole book and never spotted the Bible verse where Jesus said that his bodymind was a SpaceShip capable of transcending spacetime. However, I did misstate the speed of light, which never varies in a perfect vacuum. However, travel through transparent matter can only slow, not increase, the speed of light. And there is a big difference between theorizing and being right. Einstein also theorized a cosmological constant, later discarded... after he "did a little research."

[LMichaelL65]

Yeah... i read that whole book... several times... I would not trust what it says if my fucking life depended on it!

[Cre8tvMG]

Which is ironic, LMichaelL65, since it does....  :-)

[leesha]

Maybe, maybe not, depends on if there is a god.

[ananiasacts]

@LMichaelL65, What's wrong with you? Too moral to believe people should be stoned to death for thinking incorrectly? Aren't willing to have responsibility for your mistakes transferred to someone else? Perhaps you don't believe children should be punished for the sins of their distant ancestors. Gosh, where could your morality come from if not from the beautiful and just wisdom of scripture?

It boggles me too. There must be a giant void of some kind in the mind of every believer.

[meattank16]

fyi, you're completely wrong about matter "slowing down" electromagnetic waves. Did you ever take physics?

[Cre8tvMG]

"since refraction can make objects appear closer than they are, it is responsible for allowing water to magnify objects. First, as light is entering a drop of water, it slows down." From Wikipedia.

No, Meattank16, I didn't take physics, I've just studied it for 25 years since college. And anyone can read 1000 physics articles online that agree that light propagation through matter changes the relative speed.

[meattank16]

You just used Wikipedia as a source? I hope you know that all your credibility has just been destroyed.

[Cre8tvMG]

Wikipedia is very accurate on science issues. And you can find the same info at MIT, UW, or other college sites. I referenced the wiki because it was universally known and accessible.

The articles on science in wikipedia are generally posted by grad students and college professors, and are thoroughly referenced to text books and peer review articles. You can't discount a fact merely because you have an ad hoc disagreement with the sourcing.

[8593jose]

um is it posible to change the speed of light?

[Cre8tvMG]

Yes, the speed of light changes depending on what the light is going through. From Wikipedia:

"The speed of light (usually denoted c) is a physical constant. Its exact value is 299,792,458 metres per second.[1][2] It is the speed of electromagnetic radiation (such as radio waves, visible light, or gamma rays) in a vacuum, i.e. where there are no atoms, molecules or other types of matter to slow it down. It is often approximated as 300,000 kilometres per second or 186,000 miles per second."

[Cre8tvMG]

"Researchers at the Rowland Institute for Science slowed light to 38 miles per hour in 1999,[1] and researchers at UC Berkeley slowed the speed of light traveling through a semiconductor to 9.7 km/s ( 21600 miles per hour) in 2004. This was in an effort to develop computers that will use only a fraction of the energy of today's machines.[2]" Wikipedia, 'slow light' page

[ananiasacts]

@8593jose, experiments have been done that slow it to walking speed, even stop it completely, trapping the information it contains in a condensate of atoms and then restarting it on it's way.

[weeba2933]

We need Goku's Instant Teleportation

[EUROTRASHSPAMMER]

That sounds nice, but...

[TheSmoonge]

yeah 500 years on earth would pass but to the person going at near light speed only a couple of years would have passed.

[H3TCykaCT0]

Provided relativity isn't a theory full of holes, oh wait, it is!!!!!!!!!

[RationalTheism]

Good.

We need some aliens to spice things up.
