But which is more likely: will man listen to the voice of caution, or continue to strain even more to hear the faint whispers that come back from the dark at CERN? (dun - dun - dun)

Would this be a bad time to mention antimatter? :biggrin:

Ahhh - no. "Coasting" implies you took your foot of the gas and are in the process of deceleration.
Coasting as defined by motor's control training:
"The natural rate of deceleration of a motor when the power is removed. Coasting is the simplest deceleration method."...
WOW! Your grandpa knew about Helium 3 fusion prototypes being built before even Nuclear was on the block? Einstein must have been jealous. PLUS you got a time machine! Dang you da man - let me guess your ancestors were from Nibiru right?
Yale University:
"There is increasing evidence that galaxies and supermassive black holes form and evolve together, exerting mutual feedback that governs the galaxy dynamics and the black hole mass. During their growth phase, supermassive black holes are readily visible as Active Galactic...

LOL .. yeah, I was trying to blend in so I could ask a Sci-Fi question :)
But nations are seriously considering this in the near future: http://www.explainingthefuture.com/helium3.html
I know that your goal is speed; but what about slow and steady?
What if Helium 3 could be used as a fuel source, and plotting courses to moons with robotic mining missions that would set up robotic mining colonies - no humans. These "colonies" would be the galaxtic "gas stations" for future...
Hello,
Once free of a planet's gravity, isn't one then subject to the primary force that governs that galaxy (ex. the massive black hole in the center of the Milky Way), in addition to the one that governs its solar system? What are the numerical values of these forces? Variances would occur...
Thank you all for responding.
RE: ryan_m_b,
Not the BH producing exotic matter, but collecting it. My question is if a wormhole was near a BH, the possibility of the WH eventually becoming stable enough to pass through (not to collapse on the traveller who enters it); because of the BH...
"Black holes cannot "open up". Once an event horizon has formed that is it until the whole thing is evaporated thanks to Hawking radiation, adding more mass just grows the black hole."
I was referring to the Black Hole providing the 'exotic matter' for the wormhole to maintain open its...
