Default Re: How do you explain it?

Greetings,

You are right about the time distortion. I was just giving an example, but chose it badly.

Regarding a previous post about energy, I think it was one MIT or CALTECH graduate who calculated that to move the Enterprise (In TNG) at speed of light - 1% for 1 minutes, it would take all the energy of the earth sun burning for about one full month. So it is not impossible in theory.

One scientist classified civilizations in 3 categories:
- Category 1 civilization will harness all the energy of the planet. That means mainly: solar, wind, fosil, all mechanic energies that I can't name, nuclear, lava, tectonic energies.
- Category 2 civilization will harness all the energy a solar system will produce. That means category one plus harnessing the sun energy and taping directly into it and the planet gravitational movements energy.
- Category 3 civilization will harness all the energy of the galaxy. It is category 1,2 and a whole bunch of energy types that I don't understand at all...hehe

Currently, we are not even at level 1. We are at level zero.

Thank you
