Expect to hear that a lot from certain people tomorrow, when there's supposed to be a major exoplanet discovery announced.

I've read everything Zecharia Sitchin has done and remain skeptical, but you never know.

It appears our closest stellar neighbors have a satellite with mass similar to Earth's. If our civilization lasts long enough, if our technology is clever enough... maybe it will be our first stop along the way.

Well done, ESO.

I saw this on the interweb news... this one's only 75 trillion miles away and the surface temp is a balmy 2000ish degrees!

With current technology we could get there in about 10,000 years! Big smile

It would take the curret fastest man made machine around 300,000 years to get thereStraight

Woa at the distance that "Nibiru" is to us, the Cataclysm will take quite a bit to come here ... I better sit ...

I wouldn't let your guard down. That's just what Nibiru wants.

Judging from what i've heard from the Nibiru enthusiasts, planets can really sneak up on you. They're just suddenly right on top of us one day after being distant or completely unknown. Like horror movie villains.

Clearly the safest course of action is to be in a perpetual state of panic. Expecting it to strike any day.

Quite disheartening when you stop and think about just how long ago the Early Bronze Age started ..

Well we do have the technology to get there in much less time, it's called an NTR engine( nuclear thermal reactor) wich can( in theory) acheive half the speed of light, but the acceleration is too brutal for humans to handle the G-forces, so we would have to limit it to a maximum of 1/10th the speed of light, wich in any case would still take 45 years to get there, so the crew is 30 odd years old at the start of the trip, ends up in their 70's once they reach the destination....P



We just have to settle with terraforming mars within our lifetime and be happy about it....Blink

Ah, Nibiru. Apparently you can it from Antarctica but nowhere else on Earth. And it has the annoying habit of showing up for stretches of 2 or 3 frames on camera. Sneaky planet, that one.

As for exoplanets, I enjoy hearing about more being found. It means someday, we'll push into space and explore them. I look forward to that day.

It's not quite the day after tomorrow but: That Nibiru sensation wasn't just wishful thinking

Are they edging closer? just what is out there in those big clouds of gas, that, by all accounts should be moving like there was a big bang.....

I mean, if the Cosmic Microwave Background can appear 13+ billion years back in time, and the initial expansion was faster than the speed of light, then that blast wave would have passed through a medium with less contents than depleted vacuum.

Ironically, seeing a light source as it appeared 13+ billion years ago means light emitted from that object probably went in the other direction too... faster that way also.

There's estimated to be all kinds of wandering planets out there, and they're just difficult to detect because they don't cause a star to blink when they orbit, which is how we find most planets.

My problem with the Nibiru theory is i've thoroughly studied Zecharia Sitchins work, and his own estimates place its return somewhere around 2065 iirc. His translations also mention it being visible in the sky with no catastrophes happening. In one of his last interviews on Coast to Coast he did his best to separate himself from all the false claims about Nibiru people are attributing to his work.

To complicate things further, the most controversial of his translations, the "lost tablets of Enki" have no record of existing aside from his claim they do, and his translation of them is all that exists. So it's kind of like those golden plates Joseph Smith supposedly based Mormonism on.

All the wild claims falsely attached to him stink like disinfo to me, and after years of accepting Zecharia's work at face value, i now think he himself was spreading a little disinfo.

This would take a whole other thread to tackle. P I tend to believe the electric model of the universe as opposed to the standard model, and that alone would take some explaining.

Good luck with that. A combination of two factors, the first being it's gravity/mass being about 40% of Earth's, and no magnetosphere to shield the atmosphere from solar winds makes that practically impossible.

I've... seen things you people wouldn't believe...

Yep, this is true. We would disagree on string theory though, one of the 'key principals' for me, learning as I go, was the unidimensional relationship surrounding pairs, meaning for every 2 points that could be connected with a line there would have to exist 2 points that were forever to remain unconnected - Which I attempted to use to understand string theory.

As for the Nibiru stuff, I have no idea what it's actually about. I just referred to a 'planet that was nearby' as opposed to the cited news article that discussed a planet several magnitudes of distance further away.

somebody kickstart the damn martian core then.

Better grab a tunnelling train made of unobtanium and set up nukes around the core and explode them in a synchronized fashion. That should make the ***** spinnin' again.

Onwards from the 5th of February has a good one, David Dunham of NASA was tempted to reveal a new form of Target painting, using Paint on an Asteroid to change it's direction.


However, it has been found that the Asteroid is going to pass between us and the Moon, and just under Satellite orbit.

Articles:

David Dunham 4th March 2012

Quote:
NASA expert David Dunham suggested: “We could paint it.” The paint would change the asteroid’s ability to reflect sunlight, alter its spin and change its temperature. However, even taking the asteroid off course could be dangerous when it returns in 2056, according to Aleksandr Devaytkin the head of the observatory in Russia’s Pulkovo, as told to Izvestia in Russia recently

NASA Table of permutations

Impact is less likely in February 2013 than subsequent visits could be, although the majority of informatics known about the Asteroid can lead to deviation in the liklihood of impact beyond February rendering all the assessments obsolete.

Another link showing the likelihood from August
