Tom, thank you for your very honest views. I have been pondering these type of ideas since i was 7, my uncle was a rocket scientist for NASA. And he and i since i was that age up until my 20`s, would talk about space travel, i am 58 now. HE would always shrug his shoulders as to be uncertain about the future of space travel. I wish he was around now, as to grasp you scientific theory of how reality works. Anyway thanks, and i will continue to try to live serenely with uncertainty. Sabby

Thank you for posting that, this is the kind of stuff that makes me think that breakthroughs is space travel, on an intergalactic level will probably be a reality, just as planes flying around the country are now. Not to mention conscious computers, can you image talking about what we do now in space travel, several hundred years ago. I guess i would be toast. At least we can have conversations like this now.
