And thats not being a joke, i'm serious, if we look at what NASA is doing we see that there trying to go to space to learn more answers, if we look at media movies and games we see that wonderful feeling of going to space and learning new planets, i'm not even sure we will due to wars and idiotic political stuff, but just imagine going into space and having fun in this new planets, it would be a blast to have, do you think we will evolve, or do you think that it will never happen?

No, faster than light travel is impossible.

Wormholes brah. Do you speak it?

No, faster than light travel is impossible.

Doesn't make interstellar travel impossible, just harder and more of a long term investment.

Yep! But I suggest not to tinker with anything alien we find in other planets, some things were meant to be kept secret.

So is the greater cosmic/physical purpose of human life so mathematically small that we're irrelevant (which would mean we could do what we want), or is there a greater physical/mathematical need for humans to spread and disperse energy?

?

I'm sorry, what are you asking?

Everything ultimately pulls back into the singularity. So does human life play any significant role in that, or are we so insignificant that we can do what we want?

There's really no evidence now that points towards a big crunch at this point, if that's what you're talking about.

And we're just as much a part of this universe as anything else within it.

Did you change your mind or something? Weren't you the one that said that gravity would eventually overcome the dark energy forcing the expansion of the universe?

I may have said there are certain models of dark energy, quintessence, etc., where the value of the scalar field may change but as of now there is no evidence it will.

Dark energy as we currently understand is most simply modeled as a cosmological constant which, as the name suggests, is constant for our current spacetime. Of course it could be totally wrong.

I'm tempted to switch my major to engineering physics so that in the future I would actually understand whatever the fuck you just said, but I have to stick with chemical engineering to satisfy my hopeless dream that I'm going to genetically engineer bacteria to clean up dumps and other waste sites and become slightly famous and slightly rich over it.

Fuck me.

To be totally honest, you should, I can tell by talking to you that you'd love it.

Warp drives.

Not in our lifetimes :c
