Fleet of Stars

Ғылым және технология

Today we'll look at how to use stars, novae, supernovae, black holes, and quasars as engines to move through space... literal starships.
Interstellar travel is very time consuming, moving from star to star, but perhaps we could use stars themselves as spaceships, and move whole solar systems or even galaxies.

    Only his mirror is the wrong shape. His mirror gizmo is shown as a schematic hemisphere, but it should be a schematic paraboloid section (rotation of a section of parabola on one side of the star around a focus-center axis with the star at the focus), both for efficiency and to avoid doing bad things to the star by reflecting half of its light/heat back at it.

    Jim Bridenstine's great great grandson in the future, "We regrettably must inform you all that today has not been the best of days for NASA or Space Force. My great great grandfather took us back to the moon just when we had almost forgotten about the cosmos, I however must be the bearer of bad news. The Quasar Drive saw a massive failure when a random cat in mission control batted at the start sequence UI & knocked all the parameters off. The drive subsequently spooled up too fast, dumping all the ship's material fuel at once. This resulted in a catastrophic explosion that destroyed both the ship & the fuel we spent over 200 years gathering from the belt. On a positive note, we may not leave the system in a timely manner but a cat managed to knock every potential asteroid that could have posed a threat to Earth off the solar table."

    The GoT title sequence sure looks like a bunch of ring-worlds around a star. The other thing I thought might make GoT == ring-world: Daenarys' invasion plans that only considers a westward approach. On a globe an eastward approach is plausible too. But on a ring-world the size of Earth's orbit the two approaches differ by nearly a billion km. You could just take the shortest path to you neighbour, maybe 30 metres, or walk all the way around the globe the opposite way, 40,075 km. The seasons are wonky though. Maybe millions of years of neglect have messed up the inner shadow plates and the drift-correction thrusters. Perhaps the inconsistent winters are symptoms of thrusters over/under-correcting for drift. Shadow plates shaped roughly like hour-glasses could explain the north-south climatic differences.

    ! Anybody here heard of/played Phantasy Star III...? Well it takes place in a medieval-y type society over the course of three generations (!) and you get to pick who your character marries in each of the first two, thereby determining the stats of your third main character. Which is awesome. There're these weird tunnels you always have to cross through to get to the other kingdoms, each of which has its own climate, and the tunnels are weirdly...high-tech looking... And the "monsters" you fight look awfully robotic. But, TO US--remember, the _characters_ have no reason to be suspicious of this. (Also there's some form of magic; the game's first plot event is that your fiancee gets kidnapped by a dragon that turns out to have been a shapeshifted human.) At the end of the game, your third-generation character goes to the moon and sees a map...which turns out to be a schematic of the generational ship you've been on this whole time, the tunnels are access hallways, the kingdoms all have different biomes because they wanted the new planet they were going to go have a diversity of stuff from their home world, the "monsters" are maintainance robots that went awry and the "moon" is actually a companion helper-probe type ship. HELL yeah! :D Game of Thrones in space! Well kinda. There's a lot less blood and...erm..."forced woohoo". But still! Heck, your last character can even be kinda inbred. ;)

    The part about moving stars into closer, tighter orbits really got to me. It's almost as if you're terraforming the whole galaxy, making it more efficient and suitable for habitation. But what if we could take it even further? Move entire galaxies and merge them all into one supergalaxy. It is quite an entertaining thought.

    @@feynstein1004 let's assume a small super cluster of 1000 galaxies with an average total mass of 1 trillion solar mass per galaxy with average 500 billion stars per galaxy, we have 1 quadrillion solar mass for the assumed hypothetical super cluster. If we bring all 500 trillion or so stars in a single spherical galaxy with a radius of 500 thousand light year, we have 1000 galactic nuclei with above 1 billion solar mass each trying to keep all the quadrillion stars gravitationally bound. While trying to either remain in stable orbits with the other 1000 galactic nuclei or ending up merged in a single spherical galaxy nucleus with 1 trillion solar mass. Its event horizon could reach between 0.1 to 1 light year. The Galaxy's inner 100 to 1000 light year zone would be highly volatile. Although it might be possible to custom engineer stable orbits for such a collection of quadrillion stars systems, it probably would be comparable with the largest observed galaxy in the universe. And apart from natural evolution of galaxies, will most definitely require mastering dark matter manufacturing or manipulation, if not dark energy engineering, in order to keep such a custom galaxy stable, not including the regular maintenance of such a galaxy in cases of any supernovae and singularity formation as per normal evolution through the Galaxy's lifetime.

    Are you sure? Like the Giant Robots episode, it would likely consist of logical, scientific reasons why "sexy aliens" are not going to be a thing. On the other hand, people will probably be able to genetically modify themselves to have extra head-bumps, radically different skin coloration, horns, wings, tentacles, chromatophores and whatnot long before we meet any aliens. The critters in the Mos Eisley Cantina scenes of the future will have human origins. :)

    Why not enclose an entire solar system in a shell. Paint a similitude of the " surrounding universe" enclosed in this shell. It contains the basic properties of "reality". Using actual matter as its basic building blocks. A perfectly aligned celestial system where each planet is fixed to a specific orbit. Nobody on the inside would know the difference. Theirs also another idea which i prefer as it doesnt rely on any technology. Who knows maybe that's what the firmament is, just a shell designed to keep certain shitheads in.
