BaalChatzaf Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 We have finally found a near earth-size/mass planet. It is Kepler - 186f which revolves around an M size dwarf star 490 light years from our Sun. It lives in the "goldilocks" zone of its earth star and if it has the right kind of atmosphere (that is not yet know) it can have water in the liquid state which means if oxygen is present in the atmosphere it could support our type of life, maybe, maybe.....That is the good news. Here is the bad news. Since the planet is roughly 500 light years from here, with current propulsion systems it would take 5 million years to get from Here to There. Consider that our race has been on Earth only 250,000 years (give or take) that is 20 times longer than we have existed on our planet (approximately), so do not make any serious plans about moving there anytime soon.For some reason I am reminded of a song I once heard"All in a dream, all in a dreamthe loading had begun,sending mother nature's silver seedto its new home in the Sun" Ba'al Chatzaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GALTGULCH8 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Giordano Bruno was right to teach that the Copernican theory was correct and that the universe is inhabited by many worlds. He did not deserve to be burned at the stake for heresy and the Roman Catholic Church brought shame on itself for its intolerance of dissenters. As I understand it the Inquisition existed for centuries and the world is not yet free of such inhumanity.gg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is the Church. First it burns scholars who have alternative views then it turns the Church buildings into chambers of sodomy. That is some track record. Has the Church ever done anything good?Ba'al Chatzaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
