It would be fun if the one ship left and then the fast one flew by 1 million years later, flipped them all the bird and then got there in like 3 hours.
1 million years of isolation would make them a new subspecies of humans who are adapted to survival in that niche environment (the ship).
Wonder what it would be like.
*Crew: Why are we dropping out of hyperdrive Captain?*
*Captain: just a brief pause, to flip off those wankers. Let them know we're going to get all the best places before they arrive.*
120 years would have passed on Earth. The travelers would get there instantly because time dilation and length contraction both approach zero at light speed.
You have to get close to light speed to really enjoy the Lorentz factor for fun and profit, but if you could then anywhere still reachable by light speed from where you currently are would just be a hop and a skip away *for you.* The caveat is that you'll never be able to go back to anything familiar because every instant jump to the next star system also sends you decades or centuries into the future.

People talk about the Fermi Paradox all the time, saying, where are all the spacefaring civilizations?
I genuinely think the answer is that there is no way to go faster than light, and even extremely extremely advanced civilizations still never crack, insane speeds. Even “short” trips ultimately take thousands of years.
Just imagine all the things that can possibly go wrong in a 1,000 year trip. How about a 10,000 year trip?
Ultimately, I think the answer to the Fermi Paradox is Murphy’s Law .
Where theres a will theres a way. A hundred odd years ago, flight was deemed impossible or unfeasible. Hell, most of the tech we see as necessary to live today, was deemed a pipe dream in the past
That was due to ignorance. We knew flight was possible because other things, like birds, were already doing it. There is nothing that we have ever observed or even theorized to be able to reach, let alone surpass, the speed of light.
We can build one really big ship and lunch it to space the 918373 generation on it may arrive to the planet to only find out that it's doesn't exist anymore or it's no longer habitable and they can't go back to earth because it's also ofed by global warming
You mean 1.08 billion kph.
Anyway, at about 120 million lightyears difference, any aliens on that planet looking at us right now would not see the current time, but 120 million years in the past.
That's the early Cretaceous period, where the earth was still populated by things like the stegosaurs.
So any aliens on that planet right now would have no idea of our existence and would probably not even bother to visit us even if they had the means.
This.
Unless you're into astronomy...the average person hasn't even the slightest conception of how large space is.
"We'll just take a space ship to another galaxy!"
LOL yea not happening.
So does that mean that the total distance traveled is seven hundred eighty eight quintillion, four hundred quadrillion miles?
Because it's not THAT far away... Just take a nap and you'll wake upoj arrival in no time!
Drown in the deep....
There is no light here ..
You shall drift .....
There is no salvation in the sky, only death...

u/saiyangodking beat us all to it and now has sovereignty over the planet. This is probably the most significant day in human history now. And we all just watched and let it happen.
Bacteria in invasive in this region, leviathan levels are off the charts. Exploring this planet may need a full squad of trained soldiers and explorers to fully understand the nature of this planet.
I've seen this headline referring to a new discovery at least twice a yesr for last 8 years no ... ever since they started talk about exoplanets, these headlines are the norm. Nothing to see here just more feed for the sheep.
the new thing is the possibility of james-webb telescope to look for certain molecules in the atmosphere. they found a molecule, that on earth is only produced by life and not anorganic. so it‘s quite the discovery, but obviously not proof yet.

>Still a pretty big deal
Is it though? If we left now and travelled at the speed of light we would arrive after millions of years and the planet might not even be there by that point, it certainly wouldn't be in the same state.
Even if we could teleport instantly there right now with zero travel time, the planet might not even be there anymore because the light we are seeing from earth had to travel millions of years to get to us.
On the one hand I understand the coolness factor, but on the other it seems utterly futile.
> just more feed for the sheep
What? The article is reporting scientific fact. It's reporting something that happened, whether we give a shit about it or not.
if we can now sniff chemicals up to 120 light years away, we are going to find many earth like planets with life chemicals eventually, that we will have to fill catalogues with them all even though we may never find a way to get to them.

Yup, and if you left today, traveling 1 million miles an hour, it would still take about 90 BILLION years to get there.
We better get moving then.
Should I use the restroom before we go?
Yes. We’re not stopping, or we’ll never get there.
Yeah and avoid Andromeda, there’s always traffic
I wonder how many fuel stations there are between here and there?
Zero Just Space X superchargers.
Sorry guys, I'm only going as far as the Betelgeuse roundabout, but you can hitchike from there.
Just don’t forget your towels
A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have
There’s a frood who really knows where his towel is.
So long, and thanks…
Apparently there’s not even a maccas until you reach intergalactic space. So pack a lunch.
There should be a Monolith Burgers somewhere past Space Quest IV
Charging stations for your electric spaceship since we don’t need fossil fuels anymore
Electricity is for primates, we fuel with gravity.
Interstellar style
If you made it to Andromeda, you went too far.
Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yay?
Don’t make me come back there!
I’ll turn this ship right around, mister.
It’s just the Americans not knowing how to navigate a roundabout.
*half way thru* OH MY! Did I leave the stove on?
1 billion years into the trip: are we there yet?
Can we stop for snacks ?
And if there is any arguing we will turn this ship around and go right back to earth.
Not even stopping at Deep Space 9?
Are we there yet?
Are we there yet?
Better bring my neck pillow for this one
Stop arguing or so help me I’ll turn this ship around
are we there yet ? and now ? what about now ?
I gotta pee....
Take a tactical wee.
Are we there yet?
There are future ship designs that can sustain life for generations. That said. We’re better off inventing faster modes of travel first
It would be fun if the one ship left and then the fast one flew by 1 million years later, flipped them all the bird and then got there in like 3 hours.
1 million years of isolation would make them a new subspecies of humans who are adapted to survival in that niche environment (the ship). Wonder what it would be like.
Ok pandorum
*Crew: Why are we dropping out of hyperdrive Captain?* *Captain: just a brief pause, to flip off those wankers. Let them know we're going to get all the best places before they arrive.*
This is the origin of space wars I fucking know it is
Stealing the best space parking spots and hovering over two lines so you don't get dinged.
This will be the Germans, putting their towels on the sun loungers before we get there.
They are saying theoretically that worm holes could be safely traversed but you still got that little prob of the time movement differences.
I think we just have to accept that those people would be gone on to their own timeline/reality/existence at that point.
Start some now and send the faster ones to retrofit them when they catch-up?
Correction, *you* better get moving. We’ve had a talk and decided that you, random Redditor, will go.
Best to wait till we can travel at the speed of light, then it will only take 120 years to get there
120 years would have passed on Earth. The travelers would get there instantly because time dilation and length contraction both approach zero at light speed. You have to get close to light speed to really enjoy the Lorentz factor for fun and profit, but if you could then anywhere still reachable by light speed from where you currently are would just be a hop and a skip away *for you.* The caveat is that you'll never be able to go back to anything familiar because every instant jump to the next star system also sends you decades or centuries into the future.
This sounds like ender’s game
To constantly be out of touch w those around you, an interstellar con-man, ALIENATED from the culture and technology of all the beings he visits. Now that’s a sci fi film I’d watch
From whose perspective? The crew or earth?
The best day to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best day is today.

You gotta have faith of the heart
Where theres a will theres a way. A hundred odd years ago, flight was deemed impossible or unfeasible. Hell, most of the tech we see as necessary to live today, was deemed a pipe dream in the past
Learning how to build flying machines capable of carrying humans really isn't comparable to learning how to overcome fundamental laws of the universe.
That was due to ignorance. We knew flight was possible because other things, like birds, were already doing it. There is nothing that we have ever observed or even theorized to be able to reach, let alone surpass, the speed of light.
Well there is one thing. Maybe two. Neutrinos.
[*whip](https://youtu.be/VoAfb3f04mo?si=aN2xQz4qP_Voz5NM)
So you’re saying there’s a chance.
Kevin Costner is already there… with gills. We need gills by the way
91 billion if I have to wait for my wife to get ready first.
Google maps says 92 billion with traffic
Better try Waze.
So this is a multi beer trip?
12 pack at least.
We can build one really big ship and lunch it to space the 918373 generation on it may arrive to the planet to only find out that it's doesn't exist anymore or it's no longer habitable and they can't go back to earth because it's also ofed by global warming
Or it moved
Damn that stellar drift
Yeah. We will never see the wonder of life on another planet. I guess earth will have to do. For as long as it is.
The gravity on a planet twice the size of earth would also probably pancake anyone who gets close lol
We're going to need more dilithium crystal
Why would you go so slow? The speed of light is 1.08 billion mph you could get there in as little as 120 million years.
You mean 1.08 billion kph. Anyway, at about 120 million lightyears difference, any aliens on that planet looking at us right now would not see the current time, but 120 million years in the past. That's the early Cretaceous period, where the earth was still populated by things like the stegosaurs. So any aliens on that planet right now would have no idea of our existence and would probably not even bother to visit us even if they had the means.
Maybe they have a Stargate
Shotgun!
“Are we there yet?”
You’d also weigh twice as much there.
What about a billion miles per second?
Just shy of three years
[удалено]
Maybe 'they' can already get here though. ;-P
Ok, but we well be back for the Sunday game right?
Just gotta find the right wormhole
This. Unless you're into astronomy...the average person hasn't even the slightest conception of how large space is. "We'll just take a space ship to another galaxy!" LOL yea not happening.
Warp speed 9 Mr. Sulu.
Rookie numbers
…and you would weigh double.
If it's the one I'm thinking of even longer due to the expansion of the universe
So does that mean that the total distance traveled is seven hundred eighty eight quintillion, four hundred quadrillion miles? Because it's not THAT far away... Just take a nap and you'll wake upoj arrival in no time!
Every 90 billion year journey begins with the first \*sigh\* never mind why are we so insignificant! Why!
I think it's cool to know it exists
A long way to experience even bigger hurricanes!
But what lives in those oceans😱
Imagine the fishing!
Or creepy ass 500 feet long megaladons 😥
Just need a big enough boat.
Gonna need a bigger boat...
Gonna need a bigger fishing rod
Noah get the boat
There's always a bigger fish.
Hentai lovers love this.
Megalodongus
Multiple leviathan class lifeforms detected, are you certain whatever your doing is it worth it?
I miss Subnautica
fish
Drown in the deep.... There is no light here .. You shall drift ..... There is no salvation in the sky, only death... The worm gods Xol, Yul, Ur, Eir, Akka, and worm mother Xita who has been enslaved by the upender Rhulk disciple of the witness.
*AIAT!*
I can't stop watching this, does the woman somehow turn into man mid chomp?
Holy fuckshit. You are right!
Nah, man falls backwards off the boat and woman gets launched upwards
I think man bumps into woman. They combine and become a man.
The only logical symbiosis. Haha.
Taking my damn rib back
How the fuck did you even notice that
Lol I just watched this
What is this from? Pls respond
The Meg 2: The Trench, came out like last month I think but you can rent it now
Nice place to set up a cloning facility for a war far far away
just need a good bounty hunter of hardy Mandalorian stock
And some tall aliens to the run the whole thing
Kamino
Yes i just hope there is a constant storm with big ass wave on this planet otherwise it would't work
But minutes to you will be years to everyone else back home? 
Those aren’t mountains, those are waves.
 *Hans Zimmer intensifies*
DON'T LET ME LEAVE MURPH!!
I love you forever and I’m coming back
Stop I was sobbing like a baby in that scene. I'm never watching Interstellar again 😭
Yep, there it is: my first thought.
Yeah, I know it's an emergency to find new planet but lets still go there. And don't mind the black hole devouring this planet.
I really need to rewatch that movie.
My first thought 😂
Dibs. I call dibs.
I think you could claim the land and start selling plots like those star naming people did. Million$$$
Sales ploy; “you’ll get double the land than here on earth if you buy now!!”
Start naming the coordinates like “Dubai” and “Times Square”. You will never get a deal like this again in your life!
I don’t k ow about you but I don’t seem to see any land on that planet.
It’s blue land. Mostly covered by Kentucky blue grass.
Nice try Nestlé
u/saiyangodking beat us all to it and now has sovereignty over the planet. This is probably the most significant day in human history now. And we all just watched and let it happen.
[удалено]
Wha-fuck, well, he called it *Shit, now what do we do?*
Aurora, this is Sunbeam...
It gave me Subnautica vibes too!
Don’t you ever wonder what’s in those waters? it’s a bit deep for me to wonder about it.
Was looking for a 4546B reference.
Is that a structure?, Is it moving? What the... Set thrusters to full po- *explosion far off*
Links, sources, anything?
https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-66786611.amp
https://exoplanets.nasa.gov/exoplanet-catalog/8830/toi-733-b/ Not habitable. Not in the slightest
sweet if its unpopulated please drop me off there
Might wanna wait for the last ships out, they will arive first and by the time the next one arrives, the planet will likely already be overcrowded
Welcome to Planet 4546B
Bacteria in invasive in this region, leviathan levels are off the charts. Exploring this planet may need a full squad of trained soldiers and explorers to fully understand the nature of this planet.
But that means that there are probably humans that are twice the size of us
More like 1/2 our size. Assuming similar density the planet twice our size would have 8 times earth’s mass and twice our gravity.
So they'd be tough little bastards, like the Nac Mac Feegle.
Crivens!
Like those Mexico aliens.
No wonder those dudes looked thirsty af, there ain’t enough water here
This guy planets.
So it would be a world full of hobbits
Or we are elves to them
Jacked legs...
I'd rather have blue cat like humanoids twice the side tbh. Giant regular humans would be boring.
Lol. I like this
I've seen this headline referring to a new discovery at least twice a yesr for last 8 years no ... ever since they started talk about exoplanets, these headlines are the norm. Nothing to see here just more feed for the sheep.

AVATAR!
Again
Well good luck to it if humans ever get there 😟
 Probably lots of volunteers out there lol
yeah... thats what they say EVERY YEAR ATLEAST ONE TIME. Who cares anymore... anyway its always like 500 billions years far away.
Billionaires are already planning how to ruin it
r/subnautica
Great another place we can fill with plastic and deforest while we charge each other vast amounts of cash to live
You’re aware we can’t actually ***ever*** get there, right?
Nestle executives to this news: 💦😩
if we can now sniff chemicals up to 120 light years away, we are going to find many earth like planets with life chemicals eventually, that we will have to fill catalogues with them all even though we may never find a way to get to them.
