Namek is the Namekian planet from Dragon Ball Z. It is approximately a 30 day trip from Earth in a ship that moves 483,780,000 miles per quarter second (holy shit right?) or 6,966,432,000,000 miles/hour. If my math is right, that's 5.02*10^15 miles away or 53.9 million AU away. That's approximately 852.31309 light-years from Earth. I'm looking for stars around that distance and one I've found is Rigel in the Orion's Belt constellation. Anyway, my reason for posting this is if anyone wants to bring to light any stars about 850 light-years away in any direction. Also if my math is wrong, please correct me. |

Looking to find some of the Dragonball Z guys? lol I mean I suppose yours is the closest and most recognizable star you'll find (in your range) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_brightest_stars After the first few, you get to stars nobody's ever heard of lol |

I think it is possible to move at that speed in space. Maybe I'm wrong but, when you're in space there's no resistance of any kind. So..... whereas in an airplane on earth when the engines are giving thrust and it just maintains your speed.. in space you would keep accelerating nonstop. ANd your body would just go with the momentum so I don't think you'd feel any kind of G's or whatever... cause there's no gravity and such. |

Well apparently nothing can move faster than the speed of light. The speed of light is about 671,000,000 miles/hour. This ships speed is about 10,382 times faster than the speed of light. We are looking at a fictitious vessel traveling to a fictitious planet at a presumably fictitious velocity. It's a stretch to connect this to another fictitious space ship, but I would say the technology to move this vessel is similar to the dark matter engines professor Farnsworth created in Futurama. They work by keeping the vessel in place while rotating the entire universe around that fixed point. And it's known the universe expands faster than the speed of light, so is it too much to say the universe cant move around a point faster than the speed of light? |

You know what's also interesting.. quantum theory. It's basically the idea that right before every action, the universe splits into two (or however many outcomes of that action) in order to accomodate every action. So there's an ever expanding amount of universes based on all of the outcomes of your actions |

That's one of the most interesting theories out there. I've watched a lot of documentaries featuring Professor Michio Kaku and his take on this stuff is just mind blowing. It's one of my favorite things to listen to and think about.
Yes! Lol. |

There's a great image I saw that shows the Earth, then solar system, then galaxy etc. etc. and keeps on going until it shows the largest one we kinda know about.. and it makes you realize that our planet is really just a grain of sand on a massive beach. So really what significance does your one life have lol. Really depressing to think about but on the other hand it makes you not worry about stupid things,

This stuff is why i applied to do physics! Seriously i get to go to university interviews and talk about this stuff, its great fun and really easy to seem enthusiastic about because its so interesting =) There's loads of bizzarely interesting things about general relativity, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light because the faster you travel the heavier you become until at the speed of light you'd have infinite mass meaning it would take an infinite amount of energy to get you traveling at that speed. |

And what would make them correct? I got my distance measurements from NASA. |

The problem with studying/working with something you love, is it can turn it into something you hate. |
