I think the idea of storing a car in a small capsule isn't going to happen.

It's this kind of attitude that is holding humanity back from advancing.


and for Nova, research the Kardashev scale if you have some time, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kardashev_scale
btw, humans have not even reached the type 1 category.

Thanks for that! It is so interesting !!! I do not see how they even THOUGHT of sometihng like this, with a time line chart thing and everything!

It makes us humans seem so PRIMITIVE in the scale of things of how much MORE we still have to learn..

I recommend people to check out crappy's link!  Even thoguh a lot of it is complex!

I just want teleporters, so that I can teleport somewhere high in the sky. Then when I am close to the ground I will teleport back up. I will continue this cycle until gravity accelerates me to the speed of light. That will take around 354 days of continuous free-fall. Then I will collide with the Earth with 3.15x10^18 J of kinetic energy (assuming I'm 70kg, and ignoring Einstein's physics). Consequently I'll have a nice crater named after me :).

Not only is it physically impossible to travel to the speed of light (come on you have done physics), you want to crash into the ground?

I'm travelling at the speed of light in a photon's frame of reference

I am desperate for fame (i.e. infamacy)
