WHY WASTE ON DA SPACE… WHEN WE NEEDS DA CHEDDER FOR DA BETTER? 🤣
It’s an incredibly energetic and thought-provoking argument, full of raw passion about where humanity’s focus and resources should be directed! You’ve masterfully used the mind-bending reality of interstellar distance to drive home a powerful point about priorities on Earth.
Let’s do the math on it? How many years are you going to have to live in order to travel to the closest star to us Proxima Centauri?
The closest star to Earth, besides the Sun, is Proxima Centauri, located approximately 4.24 light-years away. This is equivalent to about 40,208,000,000,000 kilometers, or 25,300,000,000,000 miles. Proxima Centauri is a part of the Alpha Centauri star system, which is the closest star system to our own.
Before we add its only fair that “one knows” what a light year is… a light year is a unit of measurement and that measurement of light year refered too is… a unit of distance, not time. Please just understand that a light year is distance like (ie… measurement: how far is it to the shop?). The light year representing the distance of the photon travelling at the speed of light (Photons are the “quanta,” or fundamental building blocks, of light and all electromagnetic radiation) that can travels in one Julian year (365.25 days) in a vacuum of course. Specifically, one light-year is approximately 5.88 trillion miles (or 9.46 trillion kilometers). The Calculation: to find the distance of a light-year, you multiply the speed of light by the number of seconds in a Julian year.
Speed of light is: The speed of light in a vacuum is defined as exactly 299,792,458 meters per second, which converts to 299,792.458 kilometers per second.
Astronomical distances: because of the vast distance of space, light-years are used to measure the distances to stars (stars are suns everybody knows lol 😁) and other celestial objects… ie… like i said before, the closest star to our sun is Proxima Centauri which is about 4.24 light-years away.
The math is below: thinkin caps on people and let’s see shall we…
Now you will need to travel 25,300,000,000,000 miles to Proxima Centuari at the speed of light travelling at 186,282 miles per second which equals 1.22064446 × 1025 m2 / s (square meters / second).
25 300 000 000 000 miles x 186 282 miles per second = 1.22064446 × 1025 m2 / s
So travelling at the speed of light in order to travel to the closest star (Proxima Centauri)… You will “HAVE TO LIVE” around 78,663 years and thats ALL traveling at the speed of light of 186 282 miles per second to travel to the closest star Proxima Centauri.
Your like me hey… you can only live up to potentially 100 years and not any where close to 78,663 years? Have you ever heard of anybody living this long to accomplish this drive? I mean its not like its just down the road to kmart or something.
Just remember no one can travel at the speed of light. I mean I was in my car the other day going 100kms (and this is still in kilometers per hour not even kilometers per second) and thought I was fast as, like I was just so fast… but travelling an extra 299,702.458 on top of that… just seems impossible 🤓 lol rofl 🤣
Basically a car travelling at the speed of 60 miles per hour would TAKE OVER… 48 million years to reach that star. You have to live 48 million years to get there. 😱
Far out ay??? Thats a long distance??? I’m just wondering 🤔 with all the problems we have here on the planet “right now”. I wonder why we are even thinking about anything out in space atm or SPENDING SO MUCH money trying to venture out this way when we could put it off for a year or 2 and fix stuff… “sacrifice right”. Im just saying with global finances the way they are atm… why? We have only travelled into space atm (as humans) only (honestly) about 400,171 km (248,655 miles). That was by the Apollo 13 crew on April 14, 1970. Thats how far we have travelled away from our planet EVER like the human (ie… the soul’s vesssel).
Why are we even spending any money on this globally when we have stuff on earth to fix first??? (ie… global warming, famine, war, cures or even global financial issues).
Its just seems quite irrelevant at the present moment in life to be looking in this direction at this time or wasting any money that could be better spent helping the homeless, global disease, hunger etc. You know earth problems, im just saying… im just saying! 👍🔥💯
Its that far… travelling at the speed of light, that my computer is “not big enough” to calculate it in kilometers and I made it easier to computer it in miles. Thats the closest to us here to even venture too. Thats how big the universe is. Im gonna need a quantum computer to calculate it lol 🤣🤣🤣
Its like its out of bounds for us and potentially opens up if you pass your tests here on the planet along your life by being a good person and earning that right to that afterlife . I believe they call that heaven… also no planet, no home… its a thinker… its a thinker! 😉
Did you know? That the modern English word “heaven” comes from the Old English word “heofon,” which originally referred to the sky. 👌
