Oh and than tpu for removing your caps. The post is much more approachable now.

BTW just to add I believe when tpu said our solar system edge is 40 years away you may have been referring to how long it would or has taken one of the satellites to reach our imaginary end point. Which is only dictated by the speed of the body traveling. Which I have no clue of the top of my head how fast it was traveling. It would be much faster as far as viewing the edge because of how fast light travels to our eyes and forty years is not even close to that mark. I'd have to use a formula to figure out exactly how long light takes to travel from our imagined edge to our earth. Since my time is almost up until Monday someone else will have to do the calculations if this detail needs to be discussed further. I'm thinking hours to days not years. Definitely not years.

Aus, his 40 year guess wouldn't be accurate in any case. The Oort Cloud is believed to be at or near the edge of our solar system and it is about 50,000 AU (astronomical units) away. A conversion of that would be 79/100ths of a light year which is approximately 288 days out (approx. 9 months 18 days) at light speed.

Excellent cormac! I was going off of memory for the most part and I thought I had a reference to one of our satellites reaching our edge being about 40 years or so. So i figured that may have been his talking point.I appreciate the solid info and the reference to the point considered the edge.  9 months and some change... excellent! I knew it wasn't years due to the closest star being only a few light years away itself.  Anyways I was hoping someone would chime in with more specifics. I tip my hat to you

im guessin jus to give number
but i thin it would take us longer than nine months

OK light from our sun takes roughly 5.5 hours to reach Pluto our farthest known satellite in our solar system and the light from proxima centauri takes 4.2 years to reach earth so there are at least some references when considering this topic.

light from the sun takes 8 minutes to reach us
but we cant travel at the speed of light

[Aus Der Box Skeptisch]

What are tpu arguing this is why I identified the speeds to which I was discussing so there would be no confusion. The potential for how fast man can travel is exponential up to the speed limit of light so for discussion purposes I am using a constant. To many variables with any other discussion as you can constantly move faster and faster just by propulsion itself. Its not like here on earth where resistance is considered. Anyways way off topic and I gotta go for now. See you Monday.

[Aus Der Box Skeptisch]

Besides you started with light traveling to our observation. So I continued on with the same constant.

I hope so, unless you have an FTL drive stowed away in your garage.

Naw, Really? Thanks for stating the obvious.

But surely your argument about life "out there" must also apply here "as above, so below" and all that. If life out there is impossible thus life here must also be impossible.

when u let ur brain free and just think space is really a bunch of nothing that made somthing ov time.

it blows ur mind like jus think of endless space with little particles  that eventullay became mre complex particles
jus imagine a space of nothing and then rocks floating around in space and now we are here.
it jus blows your mind after u open your mind in the first place to comprehend it

That's just the problem.  Our comprehension of the space time continuum is incorrect.  Light is an illusion of a reflection from energy sources not within our realm of solar activity, it is not traveling as believed, but a remainder of the ever evident presence of the energy applied only.  If you could focus clearly upon a celestial object millions of light years away, closely enough to see from an orbital view, THAT would be a reflection of the given star in respect with right here and now.  Anything in between the void is an illusion of an energy signature, and can NOT be brought into focus.

It blows the mind alright to try and fathom the realism.  However just like in the ancient days gone past while figuring out that we are not the center of the universe, the sun is not traveling around the earth, the earth is indeed round...  We are mistake to believe that we see the cosmos as it was 'billions of years ago'.   I don't care what modern day science tells you THAT is a misconception of an entirety that we do not understand in its fullness.  Sure we apply our latest technolgy across our solar system, try our best to focus on the great beyond, theorize on that which we only fathom to contemplate, and then unfortunately incorrectly deliberate to the most educated majortiy that ruled on the accepted opinion from simple devices made on this planet.  The elemental forces of the Universe are NOT subject in respect to our mere mortal reality, and being like nothing upon this world they do not follow suit to our data ananlysis.   Understanding this is the first step.

I don't mean to undermind and agravate everyone, as I know you believe what you have been taught.  Still facts and truth are not always as simple nor as seemingly evident as first assumed, just look at the history of astronomy throughout the ages.  Learning from our mistakes is advancement in technolgy and intellectual graduation in scienctific relations..

we are here due to chaos -
the chaos theory

every individual animal plant and human are unique and so are planets
there is no planets out there like ours. we are hopin we can find something like it

we are the definition of life without us its no life

i understand what u saying but nasa have plenty of objects that they shot into space and have kept up with the object travels and time so nasa should have a good idea in understanding space and time even.
we all no light isnt instant right?
so we know that light takes time to travel over a distance

Light takes time to travel within the realm of our respective observation.  NASA does it's best, and at it's upmost understanding realizes that admitting their mistakes doesn't settle well with share holders nor grants of future fundamental factors.  Assuming much more than what is known is what they're really good at.  Such as proposing that with millions of stars bearing even more planets in just this galaxy alone, could possibly point to our planet being the only one with life evident to pertain is not only naive, selfish, ridiculous, but simply WRONG.  Life DID NOT originate on this planet.  Our DNA was put into a biological form in a world that changed because of mistakes made in the ecosystem.  Once upon a 'time' death was not even in the picture.  That 'time' will come again.
