pedoplanet? this is how you get pedoplanet.

as far as we know this is the pedo planet

Cool lets pack up the billionaires and ship em over there.

Found a calculator: www.calctool.org/relativity/space-travel
Assuming we want to accelerate at a constant 1g for half of the travel and then brake at 1g for the second half of the travel we would need 151 years to get there but only 9.794 years would pass on the ship. Depending on the mass of the ship we would need coupe million/billion tons of fuel (anti-matter).
Thorry@feddit.org 4 hours ago
Oh only a billion tons of anti-matter. Good thing we’ve already made a few nanograms, so in a billion years or so we’ll have plenty.

How can it take 151 years to go 150 light years when not close to lightspeed most of the time? I get the 9 year thing, but 151 years seems wrong.
ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 6 hours ago
Smarter people than me on the internet calculate that at constant 1g you only need 2.5 years to get very close to speed of light. So I guess you accelerate fast enough and reach ‘almost speed of light’ very early in your travel and total time is almost as if you traveled at speed of light the whole time.
Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 6 hours ago
The closer you get to lightspeed, the slower you accelerate (from an outside perspective). It’s actually close to lightspeed for most of the time.
domdanial@reddthat.com 6 hours ago
I just used the calc, it’s closer to 152 years. Which I assume means acceleration at 1g for about a year to reach .999c, and deceleration for the same time.
I just confirmed with dV= a*t, a year of 1g(9.8m/s/s) gets you just over the speed of light. I think it’s more complicated than that, If I remember right relativistic speeds require more and more energy to accelerate so you can’t ever “reach” light speed.
degenerate_neutron_matter@fedia.io 6 hours ago
Most of the journey is spent traveling very close to light speed. It's not a linear ramping up and ramping down of speed, since it takes more energy to accelerate the closer you get to light speed. Rather you quickly accelerate to near light speed and spend most of the trip working on that last small bit of velocity.
skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 6 hours ago
Constant acceleration at 9.8m/s^2 in a given direction will bring you close to the speed of light eventually, but yeah, I’m also not super sure how this math checks out
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 hours ago
So a bit quicker than terraforming Venus by chucking several oceans worth of ice at it, and some cyanobactera once it cools down in a few hundred thousand years.
Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 2 hours ago
I’m guessing you probably go faster than 0.9C after six months, given that the difference is 1 year.

And you’ll only need 315.3 million GWh per ~80kg person… plus 3.941 million GWh per kg of supplies, equipment and ship weight…
Venator@lemmy.nz 1 hour ago
Oh and also thats just the pure energy for acceleration/deceleration, not life support, steering, thrust ineffeciencies etc… 😅

Your statement makes things sound a bit confusing.
To clarify, if you are inside the ship, 152 years will pass.
FUCKING_CUNO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 hours ago
No, the people in the ship will experience less time then 152 years. Relativity tells us the faster an observer is moving, the slower it moves through time.

137 is my favorite and lucky number, so I’m gonna decide this is the one that we find life on.

We let Exxon and Ford build petrol stations and oversized pick ups and SUVs first, then just wait about 100 years.

We could start sending radio waves there and if something happens to be alive there, the response wouldn’t arrive until 300 years from now. 🫠
ameancow@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
And not only would something have to be alive there, they would have to have be intelligence and have formed civilization that is currently using radio technology, AND be at a point where they are actively listening at the point in which the signal arrives there, assuming we can send a signal strong enough to be received at all at that distance, which may be doubtful unless we put in a lot of effort as a species to send a super-signal to a distant star.
For reference, Earth has had life for somewhere between 3.5 to 4 billion years. Our entire species has lived for around a million years at most, and out of that time we only figured out electromagnetism in the last couple centuries, and only started actively using radio in the last century.
A hundred years out of ~4,000,000,000 is microscopically small. If another species developed their technology a century or two before or after us we have no way to know if they would possibly notice or recieve a radio signal., but it’s far more likely if the planet had intelligent life that it would have developed some number of millions of years before or after us. We don’t even know if other intelligent beings would use radio.
I’m sure there are or have been plenty of sapient beings emerging in the galaxy but they could have had entire, multi-million year epic stories play out and rise to glorious intergalactic heights with grand stellar-empires, and then either collapse in a million-year war or evolve past material consciousness, and still have been just a pinpoint in the timeline somewhere between the extinction of our dinosaurs and like, the evolution of early whales.
To say we are ships passing in the night would be a vast understatement of the problem.
