Astronomy - X/O Planet Ping!................
VIDEO AT LINK........................
Only 11 light years away? Heck, let’s hop on over there right now!
How long could it take?
Seriously, though, we may have telescopes that could image this planet in the coming decades...and that’s pretty cool.
Well, its only 45 years til Zephram Cochrane invents the warp drive...
Too bad even 11 light years is an unfathomable distance that no biological or mechanical entity can successfully transverse given the laws of physics. However radio wave which earth has been transmitting in analog for over 110 years and in digital form for over 40 years have been out there for others to hear. One day some interesting communication may be received from those who can never visit but can send and receive. Who knows? There may be a whole chain of civilizations that are linked and transmit to each other.
Interplanetary-web!................Alien pr0n...............
A trillion here, a trillion there, pretty soon you’re talking real distance!..............
Sure lets just drop in on them, I’m sure we’ll be welcome. They may even want to “serve man”. We may even show them the way to our planet, all they will have to do is follow the trail of discarded plastic.
On a slightly similar note, The Magic Carpet Ride turns 50 next year.
I like to dream, yes, yes
Right between the sound machine
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near
To the stars away from here
Well, you don’t know what we can find
Why don’t you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
Well, you don’t know what we can see
Why don’t you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound
Take you away
Last night I hold Aladdin’s lamp
So I wished that I could stay
Before the thing could answer me
Well, someone came and took the lamp away
I looked around a lousy candle’s all I found

‘Second star to the right and straight on ‘til morning. ‘.........................
“There may be a whole chain of civilizations that are linked and transmit to each other.”
VISAR good, don’t trust JEVEX.
I wore that record out.......................
Are these glowBull warmist astronomers on the left, assigning planet genders?
At that distance, they are stepping out of bounds when they say that it is “earth-like”.
And an artist’s conception means nothing.
X/O = Exo as in Exoplanet.................or kisses and hugs..................
By ‘earth-like’ they mean ‘rocky’ as opposed to Gas Giants, locate din the ‘Goldilocks Zone’ and less than two Earth Masses...............
Meaning with their exceeding rudimentary information due to the distance “earth-like” might as well be like saying _________ (fill in the blank).
