Super-Earth discovered in a habitable zone

[Myth?]

Astronomers on Monday announced the discovery of 50 new planets circling stars beyond the sun, including one ?super-Earth? that is the right distance from its star to possibly have water.
?If we are really, really lucky, this planet could be a habitat? like Earth, said Lisa Kaltenegger of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg, Germany.

36 light-years

1 Light year = 9.268.992.000.000 km
In one year, with speed of 40.000km per hour ( real shuttle today travels with speed of 27870 km/h ) , we would travel 345.600.000 km
Would take us 26.820 years, to travel just one light year, or 965.520 years to reach there, or something to reach us with that speed...

this data is just approx, where measure for speed of light was 298.000 km/s ( I know its 299 792 458 m / s , so don't correct me )

... We're fucked lol

We have to find a way to go faster but again, we need to slow down too once we reach that place

[jase07]

We have to discover the worm holes. extra terrestrials use those to travel faster

We have to get laid .

Edit : Woopsy , i hate auto correct .

Let's send our troops there and do the "Avatar" on the native.

You mean laid.

Thanks for sharing.

don't worry it wont happen in our life time

[cvrle77]

I don't think it will ever happen...to reach those planets.
It's like saying time traveling is possible, and we will discover time traveling machine... Well, in case that is true, we would already see time travelers walking around, who came from future, wouldn't we?
Same with traveling near speed of light...we can't travel now, or ever will be traveling at that speed...
It's more likely that horn will grow on top of my dick, than finding wormholes which can be used for traveling... some scientists should be forbidden speaking in public.
Black hole, is remaining material after star goes boom in supernova. its the part of the matter that is so densed, that there is no space between the atoms. It is heavier than any other matter several millions of times, and one spoon of that matter would weight several millions of tons. That is why gravity of black holes is so strong, that can capture even light. There is no actual 'hole' into another dimension, or similar. (and can't actually be proven otherwise, because, once something gets near the gravity zone of black hole, cannot be reversed, and get out of it, so, no information can be ever gathered, rest of it is just an imagination) Rest of stories you saw on youtube, or tv shows, is just a merchandise for selling in public, a money maker....

Maybe there is a life, maybe they have better technologies than we have? Maybe iPhone 5 is history over there, and they have iP 72 Maybe they gonna visit us Oh sorry they where visiting us all the times, but we couldn't prove that
