New Deep Field JWST picture just dropped: We can't be alone

[MischievousMonkey]

We're not alone on this planet and don't give a fukk about the millions of complex life forms we're eradicating

These space fantasies are silly

I think there is still a long long way to go before we can create portals that can bend space and time

and you would most likely be right.

A) We need to discover the breakthrough, if it even exists.
B) We'd have to be able to engineer the tech that uses it.

Static electricity was first noted 2400 years ago.
Nearly 300 years ago Benjamin Franklin proved static electricity and Lightning were the same thing
Maxwell's Equations were nearly 200 years ago that set the ground work for radio waves and transmitting signals (that can be converted to data).
We now have computers and many believe we're at the limit(?) of what we can do with Radio Frequency (RF) and need something new (photonics).

If we manage to make a crazy discovery today, there's no guarantee we won't be able to make full use of it for centuries. Especially with how complex funding is. Historically, major discoveries are actually a small pieces.

Looking at the moon understanding it, finding ways how to get there with space travel, etc. is one thing.
Discovering the fabrics of the universe that you don't even know how to observe in the first place is a whole other.

The universe is beautiful but that's it, vast spaces of nothing separating galaxies and clusters far beyond our reach.

I'm all for space missions and exploration but first we must focus our efforts and resources on improving our way of life here on Earth.

I really enjoyed studying Electromagnetism and light in university.

 

[Paper Boi]

of course we aren't.

Assuming that all this were possible, to create such a portal it would require a lot of energy that we do not have available on earth, and yet there would be no way to predetermine your path once you enter it.

You are more likely to be trapped inside it forever, as we can see in black holes when once you pass through the event horizon.

The bending of time/space by humans has already happend on a smaller level. Some researchers are thinking of using the technology as data security.

Time/space is truly a fabric...the researchers were able to transfer data from one end to the other while hiding it temporarily... they bend/fold the fabric like you're folding a blanket (or bending paper even)and hide the data, open/straighten the fabric/blanket and it's at the other end of the fabric/blanket.

IN space movies that's how the hyper space theory works. Bend space/time basically pulling your location closer to you like pulling our socks from the other end of hte blanket closer to you.

I saw this experiment years ago, we are still light years away from teleporting physical objects from one point to another

According to the theory of relativity you can bend space and time with the presence of massive objects, basically you would have to create something as dense as a black hole which would require a monster amount of energy in addition to other variables, it is practically impossible with our current technology.

Who knows, maybe thousands of years from now if humanity will still be around
