Nuclear Energy - A nearly unlimited future (Carl Sagan)

There are those who see nuclear energy as nothing but a destructive force, failing to realize that it is the fundamental energy force of the universe, which in human hands, can lead to a future of nearly unlimited endeavor by mankind.

Here Carl Sagan, a man who frequently spoke of the madness of nuclear weapons speaks of the great promise of nuclear energy in peaceful applications.

@mik3p0wer It makes perfect sense. Look up special relativity, spacial relativity, time dilation, and FTL travel. It's all there. You're traveling at speeds that beat light to it's destination. Such incredible speeds you're traveling thousands of miles in micro seconds. Think of it like the sound barrier. Planes moving so fast that the sound has to catch up moments after it has already past.

@OpenMawProductions still makes no sense

@mik3p0wer Relativity.

any1 explain how 50 years in space traveling at light speed would be 10000000000000000000000 years in the earth?

Damn right. Nuclear energy is cheaper to run compared to shitty wind farms. Too bad the left wing govts around the world are all dumb hippies that don't believe in this. Even Labor's darling Ross Garnaut said that Nuclear Energy is not to be dismissed when trying to cut our emissions down.

so why dont we do this

So instead of putting the thousands of H-bombs we have stockpiled on a project like this, we decided to just let them sit around in warehouses. Nice.

@focista6 - Well you know, depends of many things like: Education, mentality, knowledge, etc. And keep in mind: Nobody's perfect. So yes, you're right but you must respect the differences.
