gas blasts from a black hole?
To: BenLurkin
Loeb posits that these massive bursts of energy might actually be a part of a near-light-speed propulsion system not unlike the solar sails mankind is currently experimenting with. A planet-sized power source could potentially release a massive burst of energy that propels a spacecraft like wind on a sail. Based on the amount of energy released in each burst, Loeb says they could propel a craft that weighs millions of tons at velocities that are approaching the speed of light.Ah, the familiar "might be" coupled with the reflexive good alien explanation. These energy bursts also might be the signature of the death star, with each massive burst of energy marking the destruction of another rebel planet. It will require much additional research to confirm or disprove this conjecture, but in the meantime, the precautionary principle clearly requires that we shut down all electromagnetic emissions on Earth to mask ourselves from this potential threat. The EU is especially keen on this; I would expect them to act immediately. This evidence, after all, is already far more compelling than the scientific case against GMO's, and the precautionary principle, we are told, is a moral imperative.

“.....they could propel a craft that weighs millions of tons at velocities that are approaching the speed of light.”
The practical problem is that the speed of light is too slow. IF these bursts really were signals, they were sent millions of years ago. In eternity, God’s people will travel at the speed of THOUGHT. THAT’s more like it.

Dont be fooled by plagiarists. Read Venus on the Half Shell by Kilgore Trout (Philip José Farmer).

I thought that was Vonnegut, but you’re right. Funny stuff, indeed.

Farmer asked permission of Vonnegut to write under that name. After one book Vonnegut withdrew any further permission.
