Harry may be correct about the expanding universe.
I think I have read that the universe, at it's current known age, would have had to go far faster than light speed to reach it's current size of expansion.

Hello All
The expansion is not the actual distance,,,,,,its time and space.
Observations show us that galaxies collect in clusters, stars collect in clusters, star glusters collect and form galaxies and so cluster galaxies form super clusters of clusters of galaxies and in turn form clusters and so when does this pattern stop.
The big question is:
What is actually expanding?
The universe itself cannot expand. How can infinity expand?

Well,
The world is full of absolutes:
1) The world is absolutely flat. (if you travel too far west, you'll fall off the edge)
2) Man never traveled to the moon. (It was all done in Hollywood, everyone knows that)
3) Man cannot travel faster than 35 mph or his skin will be torn off.(whoops, WRONG on that one)
4) Man will never travel faster than sound or his skin will be torn off. (whoops, WRONG on that one too)
5) Man will never travel faster than light! (maybe.......maybe not)
6) Big Bang...Steady state...Big Bang...Steady state...Big Bang...Steady state...(still up for debate??? Nothing has been proven ABSOLUTELY)
Regarding to the 2nd thingy..man never travelled to the moon?
Hmm..what about neil armstrong n his comrades..?did they went to the moon?
I also read some books that nasa wants to build a space lift from earth to the moon,i dont think its really possible n the cost would be very expensive n will bring all the world to inflation..=(

Slow down zeilouz, your posting all over the place and then some, come on now.........Do you really need someone to here to tell you we have been to the moon, stop it! / Thanks.
Now zeilouz, are you refering to the space elevator ? Start a new thread if you like, who knows you may get some replies ?
But the topic of this thread is ( HOW FAST CAN WE GO ) If you continue to post things that have nothing to do with what the topic implies you are going to bring the wrath of the Neried upon you, you don't want that.
Good day all
And thanks to all who have been considerate enough to post replies for our friend zieluoz, obviously a good kid.

I don't think breaking the speed of light will do much for space exploration! Man may send expeditions out for exploration but by the time a probe got to a nearby star; we may have learned more from observation with more modern telescopes. Space travel to nearby star-systems may be needed someday for population purposes but coming back would be unlikely. If man could control space-time bending than speed may not be necessary. http://www.indiadaily.com/editorial/1944.asp Right now it doesn't seem likely. But what do I know?

Actually my faith is pretty strong; but if you were God you would know that!

Not as strong as it needs to be. You lack faith in the infinite.orin stepanek wrote:Actually my faith is pretty strong...
