Well... FTL isnt completely impossible. Its just very hard to create on practice. Man can hope.

All of your political beliefs are stupid bullshit that normal people laugh at, too.

Because if it weren't, there would be nothing to dream about.

And Haruhi would destroy the universe.

UFOs are real bruh

and that's why i'm a singularityfag

How exactly did you "find out" that UFOs were bullshit ?

FTL, causality, relativity, pick two.

I'm not too serious but IDGAF this is an animu chat site on the internet.

Fucking this

100% possible (if you ignore the mind uploading retards) and still super exciting

Space exploration dreams are so 20th century...we strong AI, eternal youth and FIVR now.

Well, now we need strong AI, are we even fucking sure that this is possible?
I want to beilive, but still.

Because you are a normy. Now open a real book of science.

possible = doesn't violate physical laws

Strong AI is possible.

if physical laws limit possibly, could FTL be possible in a singularity since the laws of physics as we know them don't apply in a singularity?

>get interested in reality
>drink the dogma kool-aid

Current physics is so incomplete as to be laughable. Saying that current theories are immutable laws is as ignorant as Kelvin proclaiming that physics is done, or any other tiny-minded garbage from some scientific albatross.

What would you recommend? Not op but asking what You would read.

>Get excited about UFOs, find out they're bullshit
Well, actually we can't truly say that alien craft have never visited the planet earth, and there are some downright weird occurrences in history, like the pre-romantic painting showing large floating objects over a city.
It's just unhealthy and dumb as fuck to assume anything about them, since aside from whatever was written about them, we can't learn anything else about them.
I haven't seen any UFOs in modern times that haven't been identified at some point.

>Get excited about antigravity, find out it's pseudoscience

Well that's your own goddamn fault for having a misconception about the nature of gravity.

>Get excited about FTL travel, find out it's impossible
FTL as many conceive of it is impossible, yes.
I personally am very skeptical of the alcumemere drive, mainly because muh exotic matter, but hey maybe if you believe hard enough you can will some into existence, all tinkerbell style.

>Get excited about CERN's top secret time machine
I think you mean sern.
El psy kongroo.

>Get excited about telekinesis and telepathy, find out it's impossible under some inverse law
It's impossible under a lot of laws.

10/10 plan send me a postcard from space to let me know how it goes

Where?

The Al-memierre drive is a gedanken-drive, not some car from the dealership.

The differential geometry underlying the general relativity provides ample room for improvement, not to mention the fact that the drive does not rely too heavily on quantum effects.

Hence, room for improvement. Don't crust the dreams of OP.

What's so incomplete?

I hate AI so much.
It will ruin my space exploration dreams. This is not what I signed up for, especially given that I'm too poor and too tired to get a second degree in an AI/Neurobiology/EE.

Just give me my 6 month cargo ship trips to jupiter and mining facilities across the solar system.

Are you serious?

But user, AI could be the key to space travel. Shit's a long ways away. Humans die, but if you got one guy to be smart, and upload his conscience into a spaceship, he can be smart forever.

Humor me.

The speed of light will likely make impossible the exploration of the vast majority of space.

Trillions of galaxies are already beyond our reach because of the expansion of the universe...countless worlds will remain forgotten until the end of time.

BUT imagine having an AI that would create and let you visit an equal number of worlds in virtual reality (matrix style, not the current goggles). Doesn't that sound good?

Real space exploration will belong to robots. Humans are incredibly inefficient for that.

i double the question

WHERE DID THIS LOW ENERGY MEME COME FROM

>BUT imagine having an AI that would create and let you visit an equal number of worlds in virtual reality (matrix style, not the current goggles). Doesn't that sound good?

It's fake, so no. Fuck that shit.

What's the difference between fake and real anyway?

The whole point would be for it to be indistinguishable from reality.

One is fake, the other is real. One is boring, the other is interesting.

But it's not real. Not interested.

Why are you obsessed with it being real?

Because I'm interested in real things, not fakes. Reality is more important, more exciting, and contains more meaning than any fantasy. The only reason you'd cling to VR is if you're mentally a child with nothing but a selfish desire to have everything revolve around you. There's nothing to be gained from a fake universe.

Seven seconds in and it's already bullshit.

What's the inverse law in regards to telekinesis?

What is there to be gained in a real universe?

Things that aren't fake, clearly.

>Are you serious?
>Humor me.

Humor me too.
We've obviously got a long way to go with dark matter/energy.
And Engineering has a long way to go before we declare were finished.
But how would we know how close we are to the "end of the book" in physics?

>please just answer me
Not him, but...
OP seems to have run across someone claiming psychic powers are impossible because the brain has limited power (energy per unit time), and if some 5th fundamental force exists, it's likely to obey the inverse square law, and thus have little impact on things beyond a certain distance.

If that's the case, it's a fairly weak argument being used against /x/ level ideas.
It brings to mind an image of two infants fighting ti the death.
Telekinesis and telepathy can't even get past Hitchen's Razor, so there's little point in refuting them with actual physics.

Report frogposters.

Singularity is a messianic delusion

Umad fucking nerd?

Veeky Forums is 18+. Come back when you're older.

Well you've pointed out yourself that the model cannot describe what 96% of the universe is. The model also fails to describe what space is, what gravity is, what quantum objects are, why the speed of light and many many other things.

>Report frogposters.
They're not as bad as the gorillaposters.
Maybe I should force a meme.
All hail the mighty catposter!

Ah okay cheers user, just wanted to see what he meant

>cannot describe what 96% of the universe is.
We can describe dark matter, just not very completely.
And your 96% figure serves as an emotional appeal, not a rational one.
Baryonic matter is obviously the most important matter to US.

>The model also fails to describe what space is, what gravity is, what quantum objects are, why the speed of light and many many other things.
That's a gross exaggeration.

still catposting.

I'm sorry pal but nobody knows what dark matter is. That is not a gross exaggeration it is a fact and it's clear that you don't understand physics, because if you did you'd know that physics understands very little.

I'll take FTL and Causality, don't need relativity where I'm going.

Experiments like the delayed-choice eraser prove causality is an illusion. Deterministic reality is an archaic worldview.

Because you can't have sex. As I said, there are strong limits on real space exploration.

I was like you so I understand what you mean. You think that it would be like a movie. I cannot convince you until you give it more thought.

Very original criticism. Now you will say that futurists predict immortality to be reached when they hit 80.

>I was like you so I understand what you mean. You think that it would be like a movie. I cannot convince you until you give it more thought.

No, you're not on the same level I'm on. If you could prove to me right now that this world was fake I'd immediately spend the rest of my life trying (if futilely) to crash the simulation and get out. The knowledge of unreality would utterly flatline my enjoyment of the world. I don't want to live in something that was constructed for my benefit, I want to live in a world that exists by itself and for no pre-ordained purpose. I want to see the wild universe, no matter how dead, bleak or empty it is.

And how are those different from real things?

And that is exactly what I meant.

Try to think this: you will forget about the fakeness. You will consider that world as real as this one. And you will feel the same way for that world as you feel right now for this one: but it will be a new world and you will see things that you could never see here.

It will not be a lucid dream; it will be one of those dreams when you really think that your dream is nothing but real life.

>Try to think this: you will forget about the fakeness. You will consider that world as real as this one.

No, I'm not going to delude myself into thinking a gigantic toy is the legitimate version of reality.

>UFOs
>Bullshit
Stopped reading there

How can you simulate it if it doesn't exist? And you know they whole point of space travel is to find other places to live and gain resources right? When Earth gets hit by an asteroid good luck sheltering in your stupid simulation.

This new "simulation" meme is the most defeatist attitude I've ever seen. If we put our minds to it nuclear rockets can definitely get us to nearby stars and as for other galaxies warp drive still hasn't been disproven.

Planets are probably the worst places to gather resources from. Asteroids are plenty and ready for extraction.

Also I have never said that space exploration shouldn't be pursued. I have just said that what you can do is really limited. We may expand in this galaxy, maybe even in the nearby ones, and that's about it. Even if we go further, consider that communications also travel at c, and at some point it will take millions of years for a probe to say "yo I have found a nice planet".

And how many "interesting" planets do you think we'll find? Let's say 0.01 per star, it's still nothing compared to what you could generate with a powerful computer.

>How can you simulate it if it doesn't exist?

Are you trolling?

Trump

I don't give a fuck about virtual reality I just want to visit Callisto and Europa and Io, Uranus, Titan and distant cold trans-Neptunian objects.
pls :(

Choose Titan or the cold distance.
Some choose Uranus for linguistically-motivated reasons, of course.

>omg FTL is so cool I love science xD
>wtf it isn't real???

Please learn at least intro physics

>Why is reality so hopelessly low energy?

Because you are "low energy" you fucking idiot

Fuck off and go argue your philosophy trash over there.

It's not about philosophy, sperg

Reality is a thing, what is perceived by your brain is another one. It's very easy to trick you into thinking that something is "real". You only see a macroscopic and limited portion of reality.

>any "amazing" technological advancement will be regarded as normal 20 years from its conception

>implying there is a real boundary between the definitions of real and imaginary/fake
>all things real had to start as imaginary/fake concepts

heh, not very high level if you can't see beyond semantics

You only say this because you place little value on the world around you. Your argument is a sign of your own shitty perspective.

I hated it from the first moment.

they're literally just big iPhones

they were never some amazing new unbelievable technology like iPhones were

There are two sorts of people in this world: those that have seen UFOs with their own eyes, and those who don't know what they're talking about.

>This is what apolitical people actually believes
Heh

everyone post frogs

>if physical laws limit possibly, could FTL be possible in a singularity since the laws of physics as we know them don't apply in a singularity?

Different singularity.

The only way I would think long distance travel in relatively short time would be possible is through shortening the distance. I'm not a physicist (so this may just be straight up sci-fi), but I'd imagine the way to go would be creating wormholes.

Those are the same.

This. UFOs are real.

Fuck off with your /x/ meme

>an extraterrestrial intelligence lurking in the numbers of pi
can't really watch your videos but this idea is presented at the very end of sagan's contact(the book.) actually I think its like the last sentence that ellie finds a coded circle in the numbers of pi. youre videos seemed to reference SETI and the golden voyager record so this shouldn't come as a surprise or you already know this since sagan was heavily involved in both.

anyway the book leaves it ambiguous whether its a message from an intelligent creator(god) or aliens or both. actually I'm pretty sure it was hinting that an intelligent creator put it there and the ayy lmaos told ellie that the creator put it there and that she should go and look for it.

The only thing that eraser proved is that photons cannot behave either definitively as a wave or particle. Complementarity can easily exist along with causality.

I'm quite sure that space, gravity, quantum physics, and the speed of light is understood in the current state of physics.
