What’s that saying again? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence? I don’t think we’re quite there yet, but for all of you MOdified Newtonian Dynamics fans (and Dark Matter haters) out there here’s a bit of good news.

    A warp drive is one of the few innovations that might save humanity from our current peril, here’s hoping

      Huh, why do you think that? Why would faster than light speed technology have a different impact on society than our current space technologies? (Assuming we don’t encounter aliens)

        I mean we’d all still be fucked but a generation ship could give hope to the survival of the species as a whole

          We haven’t even gotten people to Mars and it would “only” be a couple of year trip with current technology. I can’t imagine society making a generational trip happen any time soon. Sorry for being a Debbie downer.

            I mean society as a while sure won’t, but desperate times and all that, unlikely for sure but it’s a glimmer

      If humanity has proven anything it’s that technology tends to make things worse.
