I am an Astrophysics student from Australia exploring science communication. I was never destined to be a scientist. And yet, through science communication on KZbin, my life was changed. Creators lit a spark of curiosity in me that I've never put out. Come along for the journey. It's going to be a long one.

We just cannot imagine the distances involved. I would respectfully suggest that ‘time travel’ at light speed is only a theory, and in reality is impractical if not impossible. We are stuck here forever, polluting our way to extinction. Maybe I’m another billion years or so everything will start up all over again? Oh no, not those pesky dinosaurs again! 🤪🤪

[@RedWhiteAndBlue4evr1]

The truth of space often does. Thats why the whole alien visitation/abduction nonsense either irritates or tickles astrophysicists. Quite simply, life like ours must begin on a planet with gravity. Our bodies evolve with gravity as a constant influence. In just a few minths the human body begins to change dramatically in space. Our muscles atrophy, and our bones begin to move apart since there's no gravity compacting us any more. So even with the old dream of sending a colony across the stars in a starship, having children and grandchildren, great grandchildren, etc...they'd need to be on a craft eith artificial gravity. The only way to simulate that would be low gravity orbit requiring massive amounts of fuel or the one you've seen in movies: a spinning craft. But they'd need a ridiculous amount of replacement parts and after a few decades they would begin to degrade. Sooner or later there'd be a catastrophic event. And all this is completely disregarding food and water. 🤷‍♂️ So I'd love to jump ahead in time by decades to see what the future is like. But other than better pictures and data from outside the solar system I doubt we'll ever know of other life definitively, even millions of years from now.

[@percival8193]

@@MitsukiDiablew not humans fault either necessarily. What I'm eluding to is the nature/origin of existence that is duality. Action reaction, cause effect, yin yang, evil good, creation destruction, etc. The opposing forces in the world birth everything we see and interact with. Life and death are the quintessential ingredients for all happenings. That is, control/order is a byproduct of manifesting chaos and vice versa. Its a level playing field until one decides to tip their own scales and label their experiences. I was more or less attempting to say that we can tend to limit ourselves due to our seemingly habitual ignorance and insecurities. Channeling the mystery and navigating through projections/illusions is the foundation for a fruitful being. Think of oneself as a conduit. True tranquility lies in the gentle release into the rivers current
