wtf I hate Kepler now

>>8301982
proofs?

>>8301982
>2 thousand light years away
>How does the world change?

It doesn't. There is never enough urgency to motivate a change; even 2000 years later, we haven't lifted a finger and parent tell their kids not to worry, 'if they left now, they'd take two thousand years to get here'.

Remember that time we detected a man on the moon and nothing changed?

>>8302040
what when did that happen

>>8302043
Like 50 years ago

>>8302043
1969 the first, a few more times over the next few years and then never again. Spooky

>>8301997
>>8301995
>>8301990
it's a theoretical scenario

>>8302064
Oh, then very little changes. People who didnt believe in other life before claim its a mistake or a misunderstanding, people who did believe in other life have more evidence. everything goes on pretty much as it did before

>>8301982
Is this a hypothetical question or can you cite your sources?

>>8302171
considering the green text and >>8302064
i think he's saying it hypothetical

it took me some time to realise it though

i remember, somewhere in 2009, on a forum, i read a news article that said they were shutting down LHC because it proved to be
>too complex to maintain
and they most likely were gonna use the infrastructure (the tunnel and all) to either hold races or grow mushrooms there
>turned out it was an April 1st joke from a different site that was mistakenly reposted in the middle of May
i completely lost my shit for a couple of minutes, thankfully a had enough cool left to go to the source

fk you, op

>>8302206
Are you actually autistic?

>>8302210
wow, rude

>>8302206
Oh, I completely missed >>8302064
thanks!

>>8302274
now I know how Orson Wells felt

>>8302278
People didnt just assume Wells was lying though

>>8301982
Alright bro. I'm going to work on developing a warp drive so we can go there.

>>8302053

What's really spooky is how 99% of people only think we went there once. (excluding conspiracy theorists

>>8301982
the data will immediately come into question, not only from religious types but also from contrarian scientists. There will be big debates which will automatically give credibility to both sides and ultimately we'll all settle on the comfy old "I guess we didn't really find anything"

Best scenario.

>if they left now, they'd take two thousand years to get here
What if they left 2000 years ago?

>>8301982
> Kepler has detected signs of a biosphere

Source?

>>8304705

source is >>8302064 and >>8302206

>>8301982
>Yeah, and the people trying to understand those systems didn't even take Calculus 2

Do people actually believe this? It can't just be my school that makes Chem, Biology, Biochemistry majors take up to at least Calc 3.

for some reason this meme amuses me greatly

>>8304752
well it hasnt become a meme just because of the pretty eyes
