In the beginning the entire contents of the universe was contained in a space smaller than a single atom.

Imagine this...
Imagine there's no theory,
It's easy if you try.
No hunch below us,
Above us only sky.
Imagine that...

"New Space" Frontier Film

We marvel at today’s technological advancement. And for good reason. There has been a hyper-acceleration in software capabilities and computing processing power.

But propulsion systems and energy production have barely evolved over the last 60 years. We’re still limited by 1960s technology when it comes to jet engines and rocket propulsion.

We either hit a physical limit or we’re just not smart enough to take it to the next level.

Is speed of light travel possible or are we forever restricted to planet Earth ?

Allegedly.



It really just boggles the mind, don't it?

There was nothing there, then in the snap of a finger an entire universe exploded into existance.

Sounds crazy, doesn’t it?

The problem is that we know the universe is expanding in all directions. We can see that it is.

And if you wind the clock backwards to the beginning of time, the logical conclusion is that everything would eventually coalesce into a singularity.

I’m not an astrophysicist, so who am I to argue?

It gets better. The physics that govern everything we know break down in the singularity. What happens there and how it happens is known but to God.

(Eh hem, as i sound like Jeremy Clarkson) Some say....

...that Paul’s seen the 1971 Le Mans movie 1,780 times, and that his second best is Wuthering Heights.

...that Paul has driven around the Sun, tho at night as it's much cooler.


All we know is he’s not the Stig, but he is the Stig’s FIA Cousin.

That's ok, I love earth and don't mind never leaving it. Even if today we already had an established colony on Mars, I doubt I would ever want to live there. I would rather be in a world where I can go outside and find a blue sky, sunshine, trees, and birds.

Yeah, I agree. I’m not itching to leave Earth either.

I was just ranting about how we’re exponentially advancing in some areas while not making any progress at all with energy production and propulsion systems.
