My first time on here so just checking things out.

The regular community is kind of small. If you're ok with that, it might be for you.

A lot of us are a bit out there.

Randoms trickle through from time to time.

Feel free to post a question. That is the point of the site. Or to rant.

You can be anonymous but moderators will technically be able to tell which user you are.

Welcome.

Purely sociological, honest question:

I've been thinking about something I heard a historian say about the middle ages.

Death related to pregnancy and childbirth was apparently REALLY common back in the old days.

I wonder if there really is a lean in men to be more superficial if it's based on that. Wanting to mate with women who have physical characteristics geared towards surviving childbirth (wide hips). I mean, that's probably not an original idea, but something that occurred to me.

Charm works on guys too tho. Personality goes a long way. In both directions. Bad personality can make a pretty girl much less attractive.

His campaign is saying there were so many no-shows because his supporters were afraid of the protestors.

The one encouraging thing is I doubt people in 1800 would have dreamed about computers or atomic power. Maybe in a 100 years there will be an radical paradigm shift that will allow for an explosive advancement in technology.

No way to know though.

so my best guess is we would have to encounter some alien tech for that to happen.

Maybe.

The other variable here is if we can live long enough for that to happen, or long enough to get smart enough to figure it out on our own.

Meaning hopefully we don't slaughter eachother or melt the planet before then. AND hopefully some natural catastrophe doesn't hit us before then.

There's the Alcubierre drive ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubierre_drive ), though it requires exotic matter.. radiation shielding.. a few other minor details too.

So that would be the star trek version, but more realistic and explained better than what I did.

Probably not, if you mean being able to travel from one end of the galaxy to the other.

I read once it takes like 10,000 years for light to get from one end of the milky way to the other.

And nothing (according to what we know about physics) can travel faster than light. We don't even come close unless we're talking about accelerating atomic particles, and even that takes us to the limits of our current technologies.

The only theoretical way i've heard of is trying to find a way to traverse the distance without acctually traversing it (via a wormwhole or something like it), and there is little evidence that this is possible through any kind of technological advance.

Then there's the star trek thing about warp drive. The way warp drive would work, would be instead of actually travelling at light speed, you would somehow bend the space around a craft such that it pushed it faster than you were actually propolsing it. I dont know if that idea is totally made up or if there is actual theoretical science behind it.

I heard there was a campaign to have people register and then not go though the campaign denied thar that would work. But i don't see why it wouldn't.


Would be better if there was a campaign to register, show up, and then have everyone boo him.
