Professor of astrophysics at Princeton University, J. Richard Gott will talk about his work with the physics of time travel and helping people quantify how vast outer space really is, as well as the "Doomsday Argument" which shows how statistically there is a 95% chance of human extinction within 9,120 years.
bkmk
Extinct in 9120 years.
Morning or afternoon?
(The plumber’s coming in the morning.)
Good think he is working on time travel. In 1911 year we can just go back to the beginning.
Imagine, there will never be a time when people didn’t have indoor toilets.
At the rate we are going, I think he is a little optimistic on his date.
I don't think this is correct. I get 93% chance of human extinction within 8,953 years.
Here’s a question.
We all know that if a man gets into a space ship and travels away from earth at a significant fraction of the speed of light C when he returns many more years will have passed on Earth than he experienced on his space ship.
What if you parked an eternal man in a spaceship, strapped on massive propulsion units to the Earth, and blasted it away at a significant fraction of C. When the Earth returns, will the inhabitant of the space shop have experienced many more years then the inhabitants of the rocketing Earth?
What is it? Majority rules?
Only if the space shop became a barber shop.
Whenever somebody posits the extinction of the human race, they commit a religious reduction ad Hitlerum.
When Jesus Christ ascended, He was seated at the right hand of the Father. That is His Session. The Son of God or the Alpha is now also the Son of Man, or the Omega, and has been in Hypostatic Union since the first Advent.
During the Church Age, believers today have the same access to God, as provided by the Son, during this period of hypostatic union.
All things that have been created or could be created have been created by Him and stand under His authority. Today, He is both God and human.
Humanity in Him, is now higher in authority than the angels, although prior to our receipt of a resurrection body, they still have more power over man. Through faith in Christ, though He controls all history.
Prophecy regarding Israel still has not been fulfilled, so humanity will continue to exist for quite some time (gross understatement).
Conclusions that mankind will go into extinction, or any other such reasoning, should immediately trigger a error message to those making such conclusions,, even if they haven’t understood the theological doctrines regarding the hypostatic union, which is central advancing in Christianity.
oh no! we’re gonna DIE!!! AAAARRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!
that said time travel is an impossibility. unless you can show proof of all those people in strange clothes attending historic events, such as the crucifixion, critical battles, etc..
Forget time travel, how do I tunnel myself over to a alternate reality where Karl marx was never born?
I appreciate the dilemma of your argument. I suppose one would have to take into account whether or not we take the freeway, and whether or not it’s regular or premium. Oh, and if we’ll have more than one driver.
You may be right, but 97.16% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
Air when and where? The program sounds interesting.
I think you must mean Hyperspace Bypass. There are no freeways in space silly.
We’re DOOOOMED ;-)
HERE’S A QUESTION:
If the “Universe” is everything there is, and it’s “expanding”, what is it expanding in to?.................
LOL. I dare you to find a Hyperspace Bypass. (But if you do find one, I’ll guarantee it won’t be under the administration of the California Highway Department. They don’t have the budget.)
Time dilation occurs as a result of acceleration, so the “eternal man” would be much older compared to the accelerated Earth.
