I'm not sure an article talking about stars formed a few hundred years after the big bang is worth a read- 832 replies

If they bored into another dimension for energy and the beings that lived there altered physical constants in our universe to extinguish their consciousness they could certainly go extinct regardless of how far they'd spread

Worldbuilding Consequences Of a Faster Heartbeat
NFUN replied to Spacescifi's topic in Science & Spaceflight
they can summon shardblades faster -
depends if the landing was soft enough. If the retrorockets didn't work well as some think and would've killed passengers, one fatal accident in 23 launches is pretty bad

NFUN replied to Spacescifi's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Let's be real. Whether or not it's viable doesn't change that it's insane -
[New] Space Launch System / Orion Discussion Thread
NFUN replied to ZooNamedGames's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Oh is that what they're trying to do? Sure had me fooled given literally everything about the project (except, I suppose, the cost) -
how. the whole pluto debacle is because of how it isn't gravitationally dominant. webb won't be able to detect smaller bodies that would form rings, nor any other likely edge cases

SETI-related discussion, split from another thread.
NFUN replied to mikegarrison's topic in Science & Spaceflight
if an alien's appendages aren't capable of building a radio then they aren't capable of using or making electricity, rockets, or anything else that would qualify them as technologically advanced. The assumption isn't that every intelligent species will have them, it's that every technological species will... actually, no, it isn't. There's actually no assumption or logic of any sort beyond "this is a thing they might do and it is a thing it is feasible for us to check with the telescopes we have, unlike any basically any other test". Nobody is making arguments that are taken seriously that if we don't find radio signals with SETI (or even more generally, if alien life isn't generative radio signals) then there is no alien life out there -
keep in mind that they're never in a line on the same side of jupiter
