Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve decided to make the announcement of my recent discovery here on FR in regard to dark matter. It’s rather quite shocking once you think about it and I’ve thought about this long and hard but its implications are, well, earth altering. While it is true that man has contemplated trave
Sorry about that, got knocked off.
A sketch of the luminous part of a galaxy surrounded by a much bigger halo of invisible dark matter. We detect the presence of the dark matter by its gravitational effect on stars and gas within galaxies and on other galaxies. But because it emits little or no light, we cannot see it directly. We do not yet know what the dark matter actually consists of.
I believe Dark Matter, once understood, will be the key to universe travel. As we all know, our current capabilities of space ship propellent will not allow us to properly reach light year goals, or to go to possible inhabitable planets. All energy sources are developed on earth and I think that is a mistake. This idea came to me in a dream. What is one area that we have not looked for alternative energy sources get us where we would like to go? Space. Dark matter is dark energy, and powerful energy that keeps solar systems together. I propose we embark on understanding this capability, develop a multi, human-generational space team that will perpetuate itself in space as it travels to other worlds and possibilities. They would have to rear their replacement platoon to take over as they aged. The eggs would be in hibernation until rearing would occur. This would probably begin around sixty years old. Their life on the ship would be their world. Just like the monarch butterfly that flies from the north to the south. It is not just one butterfly that does it, but multiple generations going down, and coming back. comments? (if anyone steals my idea for a book, movie, t.v., I'll sue you, because it is already in the can.
