[QUOTE="spiney, post: 167574, member: 192438"] Another really irritiating habit is replying to my own posts ....... But, there's no shortage of "exotic" space travel methods, any of which MIGHT get us to the stars ..... 1) Wormholes - "bridges" between the singularities inside back holes - have of course long been discussed. There's a "better chance" here, as black holes may be very commonplace, and you don't need to get 60% lightspeed first! 2) Tiny "light sail" automatic probes could use "sunlight pressure" to reach nearby stars in maybe just 10s of years. Maybe worth doing, if we know in advance there's a planetary system to look at ..... 3) If I remember right, Arthur Clarke's Imperial Earth had a "mini black hole" spacecraft propulsion system, which isn't really enough for interstellar, but would get you to Pluto in maybe 2 months! (added, see: [URL="http://blackholes.stardate.org/resources/pop_culture/pop.php?id=13"]http://blackholes.stardate.org/resources/pop_culture/pop.php?id=13[/URL] . Another really irritiating habit is re-editing my previous posts ... ). And so on ..... see: [URL="http://www.centauri-dreams.org/"]www.centauri-dreams.org/[/URL] . [/QUOTE]
