The books are poorly written, basically only the basic plot and some of the ideas are good. Yeah, there's a good character or two in there. I haven't watched the show. Ifi were you I'd either just watch someone's YouTube summary or get the 1st book on tape and listen to see if you want to read the rest.I finished season 1 and enjoyed it for what it was. Now I want to know what happens next. For those of you who read the books and then watched S1, do you recommend I go out and buy the books and read them right now and spoil everything?
First thing I thought when I saw that scene is how many seconds until she is gang raped. Actually surprised it didn't go there since men are bad.It is just so laughable how many women are present in a group that is purported to be a collection of the greatest minds on the planet, especially when they focus on two of them girl-bossing their way across the globe.
As if Auggie would be able to waltz into the slums of Central America, apparently alone, and not be literally raped to death within days. It is all just so fucking stupid it takes away from an otherwise solid series.

Didn't they find the universe is slowing its expansion?
Also didn't they already prove FTL is possible with quantum entanglement? Maybe I'm just mistaken and it has not been proven yet.
Relativistic speeds greater than c exist. It is why the sky is mostly black at night. In an infinite universe with infinite stars every single millimeter of the sky would be bright white. But because we are moving away from most of the observable universe at a combined value greater than C, we have a dark night sky and some stars. So relativistic speeds greater than C do exist, but the physics models are kind of iffy on how that works precisely. Having said all that, its not really of any practical use for developing FTL.More or less under relativity. Using Einstein, it basically calculates that any mass accelerated to light speed would obtain infinite mass and require infinity energy, functionally making it impossible to achieve. In theory you would only be able to achieve close to light speed, so like 99.9% or whatever, without using some type of travel method that could fold space and effectively allow you to bypass the cosmic speed limit
Infinite stars is not the prevailing theory that I have ever seen. An infinite universe is more in regards to what is possibly outside our bubble of spacetime.Relativistic speeds greater than c exist. It is why the sky is mostly black at night.

True FTL if it were ever possible is likely going to involve bending space (tesseract like effects or artificially created wormholes) or shifting objects into a higher dimension where relativity as we know it do not apply and C is not the fastest possible velocity (basically the hyperspace model from Star Wars and other shows). Unless there is some physics trick that suppresses relativity in our level of reality (which presently seems very unlikely), FTL ships that move through normal space by way of propulsion are not happening. As you said, the energy requirements become infinity and time dilation gets so crazy that navigation becomes practically impossible because the universe around you is changing so fast that you cannot account for hazards or even if your intended destination still exists.
I don't know if this is true. The effort to make another planet, even one with very close parameters to ours, remotely colonizable is very difficult. I mean our own species runs into fertility issues just by moving to higher altitudes on the surface. Slight variations in gravity, radiation, available nutrients, and a hundred other things make colonization basically impractical unless you have no other option. In this series, the aliens are up against certain death so they have nothing to lose by trying. But you would almost certainly have to engage in lengthy modifications to both your species and the intended colony to even have a chance of making a sustainable population. And if you are gonna modify your whole race into something else, you are not really preserving your race as it is. Even resource stripping is impractical, because most Ort clouds have so many comets that even something like water is much more readily available for harvest from your own solar system.feel free to read the earlier posts in this thread for the answer.
If it were possible then it would have already fucking happened a million billion times over. Sufficiently technologically advanced civilizations would of colonized the cosmos over and over and over again.
Think of it in these terms. We know we are moving away from the center of the universe and have been for a while. Whats more, there are galactic clusters moving from it in all vectors from the center and we are only able to observe the ones moving our general direction because of this. Here is the situation:Infinite stars is not the prevailing theory that I have ever seen. An infinite universe is more in regards to what is possibly outside our bubble of spacetime.
