New planet system found

Wow! :shock:

There is also another planet they also saw at the star Fomalhaut. The system of 3 planets is the first time we actually saw another mutli-planet system. They formed recently so the planets are still hot and glowing, so they show up in the near infrared. The Fomalhaut planet is the first one we have seen in visible light. :shock:

Wow, awesome! The planets must be really, really huge! 0.0
 
yea hugh planets are can be caught but size of planets like earth is much much harder to catch or found or see..

Yeah, true. It's kinda like trying to find a speck of dust on a white surface.
 
We need to development trillion weapon and protect Earth from bad alien. Well, just in case. Ha.
 
wow, new planets. we need better technology to check out other planets and get more details.. and the technology to travel faster! :) ahh..
 
Red-hot planets, cool. I wonder what kind of "life" live there? :)
 
Every time more and more planets and solar systems outside our solar system are found, it means alien life out there is becoming more and more realistic.
 
sad thing is... I hardly give a shit... sorry... it's because we can't even get there. It'll take decade to reach there. If we have something like Warp 1 engine... now I'll give a shit. keep donating to NASA!

sad but true.

Even if you wanted to colonize the planet mars, and terraform it to a little mini-earth it'll take you like 2 years to get there.
 
royale, yea one day one day we will find small planets that has some life there.. but i dont think we ever can go other planets taht far.. ........... too far.. too long time to get there.. forget it.. oh well

It would take 128 years to get there *IF* we could travel at the spead of light which is 186,000 miles per second.

The reality is if there is life some where out there, it would require faster then the speed of light to even consider traveling it. This is currently impossible.

Another theory is there is no life out there yet or so scarce and far apart you might as well forget about it. BUT in another 50 billion years these new planets we see now out there, a few of them could develope in to a planet that could support life. Simple life. By then earth will be no more.
 
According to Einstein's special theory of relativity, it would require an infinite amount of energy to propel an object at more than 186,000 miles per second.

However, Dr Gunter Nimtz and Dr Alfons Stahlhofen, of the University of Koblenz, say they may have breached a key tenet of that theory.

The pair say they have conducted an experiment in which microwave photons - energetic packets of light - travelled "instantaneously" between a pair of prisms that had been moved up to 3ft apart.

Being able to travel faster than the speed of light would lead to a wide variety of bizarre consequences.

For instance, an astronaut moving faster than it would theoretically arrive at a destination before leaving.

The scientists were investigating a phenomenon called quantum tunnelling, which allows sub-atomic particles to break apparently unbreakable law

"None of the planets is remotely habitable, scientists said."

I guess by "remotely habitable" they mean the standard of life as WE know it. I suppose that since that there is no evidence of life existing in any form beyond carbon-based, any speculation isn't necessary or even valid in this context.

The scientists can call us back when they have humans doing the experiment. :P We're far from transporting at light speed as the fastest manned travel is around 25,000 miles per hour.

I know, but it is fun to speculate that it might eventually happen.:)
