Well I stand by my original post. I think we are playing a dangerous game, asking for trouble as the saying goes.


I don't want my tax wasted on this futile search and I think we would be far better off spending our resources on making our planet more sustainable for the longer term. Mind you I don't hold up much hope for this either as brave and unpopular decisions will need to be made and politicians don't do that.

There's probably a large meteorite heading this way with 'To Earth with love' written on it, bringing an All Life Extinction Event with it. Just saying

but as you suggest, if you can bend space/time maybe you don't have to go from A to Z via B,C,D etc

maybe you can go direct

To us the concept is unfathomable - say a bit like an ape given a phone and understanding how his grunts might be heard by his girlfriend holding a phone 100 miles away. Or even a human in the 15th century looking at a TV screen.

And then of course the sun has to die at some point... That won't be good for the earth either.
