So what are our options, for the end of the Universe?
Is it a bit like leaving the EU, vote for either in or out? I don't want to rush it.

I've seen Star Trek. What we need to do is swing round the back of the Sun and go back to 1986. If we do that every 30 years or so we can live for ever!!

Re: Jim Kalahalliwalli or whataver
Well Kahwhatsit ended up saying he was fucked if he knew and that it was entirely possible that some fundamental aspect of current accepted theory or calculation was radically wrong. Also that as things appear to be at present everything will expand to the point of doing the heat death boogie. The acceleration of expansion in particular left him with a fucked if I know look on his face I must say.mistermack wrote:I missed it.Rum wrote:No - just the source!

Re: Jim Kalahalliwalli or whataver
The Horizon thing about controlling gravity was good, but I was dozing off as I tried to watch it.
Little bit I remember is that they are hoping to make some antimatter at CERN, so that they can find out if it is repelled by mass, rather than attracted to it.
If it's repelled, it could be the takeoff fuel for rockets of the future.
You put the energy into making antimatter here on earth, and then load it into the rocket. Unlock the rocket from it's base, and it just shoots off up into the sky, without any exhaust, and without needing to carry it's own fuel.
So on takeoff, you don't need to lift off the weight of the fuel, which is about 95 percent of a rocket's weight.
It might be a runner in 200 years time I suppose. If you need something the size of CERN to make the antimatter, I think it might work out a bit expensive.
