Efficient intergalactic travel methods are crucial for large-scale colonization, with discussions focusing on concepts like wormhole travel, hyperspace, and long voyages on massive ships. Quantum entanglement is highlighted as a potential but currently impractical means of communication, as it cannot transmit information without breaking the entanglement. The feasibility of long-duration space travel is debated, with some arguing that advancements in technology may render current methods obsolete. Concerns are raised about the potential dangers of harnessing vast energy for travel, which could also serve as weapons. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the need for breakthroughs in physics to make intergalactic travel a reality.

Who’s going to pay for your Tang and PB&J? :D A lot of fuel, food, water, air and energy for a 40 year trip IMO.

As if warping space and time to travel faster than light wouldn't require a stupendous amount of energy.

LOL! Possibly true. :D

I was thinking of my own theories on FTL travel which the technologies are quite simple compared to the usual line of physics (Einstein). ;)

Arctic I think he is referring to the theoretical possibility of parallel dimensions basically. And that all of them basically exist overlayn each other. Kind of like ethereal realms or what have you. They all exist next to each other you just can't see them.

There was a special on pbs about a book. The elegant universe. It goes over that concept. The videos may still be available for download.
