Decades to get from Jupiter to Neptune? And this is a “superhighway”? We can get from Earth to beyond Pluto in just a few years.

[Redcitizen]

Ping.

[Little Ray]

So, specifically, how the enable faster travel between the planets?

[trebb]

We are falling, fast through space...Wheeeeeee!

[Renkluaf]

I knew the Tranporter Room was real.

“ Although that paper didn’t mention Lagrange points...”

A how how how.

[Larry Lucido]

You get your kicks on √6(T)6.

[I want the USA back]

Don’t let the democrats get wind of the new “superhighway” or they’ll turn it into a toll road.

[Delta 21]

UHmmmmmm, BullSH!T !!

[Migraine]

All of this is over my head except highways and manifolds. But are those manifolds intake, or exhaust?

[ealgeone]

Yeah, but somewhere along the way they’ll be doing roadwork if it’s anything like our interstate system.

[Vermont Lt]

So, a gravity assist?

I am imagining that their statements refer to movement between planets “without” propulsion.

Obviously we can leave the solar system in a couple dozen years. Voyager has done that already.

"space superhighway"

Soon to be lined with golden arches and KFC's.........

They employed a tool called the fast Lyapunov indicator (FLI), usually used to detect chaos. Since chaos in the Solar System is linked to the existence of stable and unstable manifolds, on short timescales, the FLI can capture traces of manifolds, both stable and unstable, of the dynamical model it's applied to.

Wow. My first thought when I saw the picture that it really looked very fractal in nature. Then they mention the above. Lyapunov are a class of fractals easily generated with a program like 'fractint'. Very cool.

Stargate command found cosmic ‘Superhighways’ for fast travel through the universe.

[mikrofon]

Not quite hyperspace tunnels or slipstream portals, are they ;?
