12/21/12 countdown clock.......

You could go by my prediction. I have never been wrong.

The world will end!

I just don't set a date.

I will. In about 5 billion years when the sun starts trying to burn iron and turns into a red giant. I don't know if humans will be around to witness it though.

Very slim chance on that one.

We will have destroyed the earth ourselves by then...

I agree Jukie

Probably true, but with any luck and foresight, most of our descendants will be starting news worlds on distant planets before then.
(ok mabey I play Civilization one too many times)

Wouldn't that be something...

Scientists already have a small crop of possible worlds too, now if someone would invent a space jump drive, we could send a real probe out there and see what is what...

Generation ships would work.

Check this out Here, generation ships may not be needed. Just turn the key, push the button and Jump! A to B...

It is fiction, and I will believe it when I actually see it.

Underpinning Theories
FTL: "Folding Space"

The FTL drive technology used within the Re-imagined Series might be based on the use of Superstring Theory and M-Theory that essentially enable the "jump drive" systems to "fold" space, reducing the distance between any two points by creating a "corridor" through space that links them together (essentially forming a wormhole, or Einstein-Rosen Bridge). Such "corridors" are allowed by the general theory of relativity; what M-Theory does is provide a way to change the topology of space-time dynamically.

The use of such wormholes is based on the tenet that space is curved. Hence the term "wormhole", which arises from the analogy that space can be seen as an apple. A worm can travel from one side of the apple to the other in two ways:

By crawling over the surface, or
By burrowing through the apple (creating a "wormhole").

Obviously, the second option is considerably shorter than the first.

Have you seen Event Horizon? Bad things happen when you mess with physics :)

Um, no, I'm talking about physics(nature), that movie is speculation, that's why it's a horror movie.

It is, but it does raise the point of warping space so two distant points are one and the same, and who knows what the consequences could be, (aside from a horror plot for a movie).

Then We need a guinea pig for testing, with an automatic return function.

*puts hand up* Not it! :)

The Laws of physics are as solid as a lump of rock . . .
think about it :)

So far, every time there is a problem with string theory, they add a few new dimensions. Reminds me of the celestial spheres of days gone by. There has to be a better explanation, but we have not found it yet.

Then You need to be careful or someone might rub You out...
