inertia

WHat is the biggest problem to ultra fast space travel?

it's inertia.

What is inertia? Inertia is why seat belts are required. When a car
crashes into anything, its motion stops but the people in the car
continue forward. Without seat belts they are pushed by inertia
through the windshield. Ouch!

Back to the spaceship. It must somehow travel with inertia controlled.
So when the space ships'  engines blast into high speeds the occupants
are not thrown back into their seats so firmly that they cannot control
the space vehicle.

Then when the space ship arrives at its destination, it must slow down
to orbit. This slowing down will make it impossible to be anywhere
but a back-facing padded seat. Again, making it difficult to control the ship.

BUT if inertia can be control and the space ship travels inside its own
bubble of space, then there will be little or no inertia affects.

That is what space engineers are working on now. When they achieve
a way for a space ship to create an inertia bubble around its hull and they
are able to push the ship forward through this bubble, we will be able to
travel in space and most likely at speeds greater then lightspeed.

We have some of the math. We have a theoretical understanding.
We just need to build it.

And that's the way I see it.

WHat if...

With the new "Kepler" (Hope I'm spelling it correctly.) Satellite we are discovering
hundreds of possible Earth size planets every months; all within a sliver of the sky.

Over 2,000 possible rocky planets to check out and the list is growing every day.

OK This is great scientific stuff. BUT, has anyone considered the WHAT IF???

Lets say we contact a civilization that can read and understand and reply to
our signals. That they can do this makes this 'contact' a possible threat to all
people of Earth. WHY? Lets look at our history. Whether we invaded "new"
countries or even peacefully arrived, the new people eventually destroy the
older existing people.

Sometimes, they purposely set out to kill the established people. Sometimes, it was
disease the invaders were immune to that did the killing at an alarming rate.

The net result is that old and establish societies were reduced to few survivors.

So now we are inviting a new society to our planet. if they can come here,
that means they are well ahead of our technology. You could say they were
superior to our technology. Maybe they might want to plunder Earth's resources.
Maybe they need our planet for their society.

Earth would be helpless to stop them from doing whatever they wanted and taking
whatever they wanted.

That is not the scenario anyone sending out signals is thinking about. But it is a
possibility - a very real possibility.

My thought is that we need to keep a low profile until we can travel through space.
Otherwise, it's like waving a red flag at a bull. The bull has to charge at the motion. And
the possible new space creatures are the bull.

And that's the way I see it...
