only if we know how to apply

I was wondering how long it would take for Warp 9 to travel across from our galaxy...
and it will still take about 5 years from one end to the other at warp 9 speed, which according to wikipedia is 22000 times faster then the speed of light

I think its just the same as us humans in every shape or form but maybe their bodies differ from ours to an extent. Remember, human nature adapts to its environment and evolve.

as for the video showing how tiny our galaxy is compared to the whole universe... im just speechless. we think saturn or jupiter is already massive but who knows what else is out there. planets the size of 10 suns!, suns the size of 100 planets!

here's what boggles my mind sometimes and id like to share my theory with you.
What if... when we die, we actually just move on to a different planet? having the knowledge we have right now but not being able to do anything about it since there is no way for us to contact planets light years away. for all you know, people who past away are just in another planet thinking how would they communicate with you, telling you that they are still alive. Maybe aliens are actually someone's relative who is searching for his family and once found, takes them away, maybe knowing of the impending danger this earth has. people who claim to have been abducted saw human shaped species. maybe they just exagerrated big eyed, or big head, since they only see shadowy figures from the bright light of the ship. Also, the whole "i got probed or experimented" claims may not actually be what they think it is. For all we know they are curing whatever sickness or problems the abducted one has before getting transported to the new planet to prevent any spreading.

think about it....

Please do some research the next time you want to go on waxing poetically about the universe.

Our sun is a MILLION times bigger than the earth.

^ I'm assuming he's correlating to Jupiter's size.

Warp 9... in Star Trek Voyager, it was predicted that Janeway would need 75 years to complete the journey from the Delta Quadrant (the other side of the milky way) back to Earth at warp 9.75, so it would take at least several hundred years I would say to do it at Warp 9 (since warp factors are exponential)
