HYPRESPACE
|
Isaac Asimov said of warpspeed or hyperspace...
"Anything moving at the speed of 186,283 miles per second can move from New York to San Francisco in 1/60th of a second, but any object would take 4.3 years to reach Alph Centauri, the nearest star; 540 years to reach the brightest star, Rigel; 30,000 years to reach the center of our galaxy; 80,000 years to reach its far edge; 2,300,000 years to reach the Andromeda Galaxy...from where we sit here and now, its a very, very weak maybe."
Arthur C. Clarke said...
"...that ultimate 670,615,000 mph will be totally inadequate to meeting the challenges of intersteller space."
