@@thavambase6907 Those signals travel at the speed of light. So even if the alien civilization capable of producing those noises is only 500 light years away from Earth (a speck of distance, in the big picture) it would take 500 years for those sounds to reach us. Meaning that only signals sent out 500 years ago would just now be reaching us. By then, that civilization, for all we know, could have ceased to exist. It's just too much time. Too much distance. If there is no rate of speed faster than light, then the universe is quite simply too big to be traveled in a timely manner.

[@EpicGamerBoy22]

Us, humans are 1,000,000,000 times closer to the size of the observable universe than to the smallest length possible also known as the Planck length. So that means we’re actually huge but the universe just has a huge broad spectrum of sizes. This would mean that light speed is NOT slow as for it to move across a size that’s on the big side of the size spectrum, it’ll take a very little time as opposed to the size of the whole universe compared to the Planck length. So if there was a scale ranging from the Planck length all the way to the observable universe then the distance that light speed could travel in a certain amount of time such as the age of the universe would mean light speed would be would be BILLIONS AND BILLIONS times closer to the size of the observable universe than the smallest length ever known and considered the smallest length possible. In conclusion, we are huge and light speed compared to the known sizes of the universe, light speed is actually very fast.

that pretty much means the only ways people can communicate with others on different planets are... 1.)

The lifespan of a human needs to drastically rise to above 1000 years (what would not make it really better to communicate, but better possible since time feels shorter at least for communication in our own solar system) 3.) finding a way to move planets so they are close to eachother without the gravity pulling each one together and find a way to keep life possible for humans because that would be pretty hard too. there might be more ways but those seem like the easiest to me... i would like to see what your ideas are! :D

We’ll have to create some kind of communication network in the solar system with a new technology like we did with wireless repeaters. Imagine hundreds of little satellites orbiting everywhere in the solar system, and capable of transmitting faster than light. No idea how it would work but I think it would be interesting to study.

[@CakeFlowet]

Transporting data on a spacecraft that could pass the speed of light will probably be the final and best form of long distance communication. Since nothing can physically go faster than light, I'm just gonna assume that's how it's gonna be. There are possible ways to go faster than light like bending spacetime to basically make us go faster than light without defying the laws of physics. If it's possible, manually transporting it would probably be more feasible than using light to transfer information.

[@intasarbatool5522]

It doesn't matter how many satellites you put in space for a faster communication network, it will be the same. This won't get light to go any faster, nor they can communicate faster than light itself.

@@intasarbatool5522 there has been a few successful experiences of « teleportation ». A Chinese experiment found out that atoms have « twins » that behave the same with huge distance between them.

Us, humans are 1,000,000,000 times closer to the size of the observable universe than to the smallest length possible also known as the Planck length. So that means we’re actually huge but the universe just has a huge broad spectrum of sizes. This would mean that light speed is NOT slow as for it to move across a size that’s on the big side of the size spectrum, it’ll take a very little time as opposed to the size of the whole universe compared to the Planck length. In conclusion, we are huge and light speed compared to the known sizes of the universe, light speed is actually very fast.

The best way to avoid this issue is to find something faster than light. Entangled particles have been known to instantly flip their counterpart's state when observed, and this is theorized to be not limited by distance. Imagine someone built two computers, each with a chip of entangled particles that the CPU was able to control and interpret. One computer could be sent to another planet on the outskirts of our solar system along with a colony. When the colony landed, they could sent messages to earth via the entangled computers instantaneously regardless of the distance between them.
