Intergalactic Travel

Since Fermi asked his famous question, "Where is everybody?" it has been increasingly realised that the feasibility of interstellar colonisation has deep implications for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. In this paper, the feasibility of intergalactic colonisation is discussed. It is argued that a civilisation already technologically advanced enough to colonise its home galaxy would not find the task of settling a neighbouring galaxy to be insuperable. Most Geocentric arguments against SETl that involve interstellar colonisation require the probability of the independent origin of a colonising civilisation in a suitable star system to be~ 10-11 to account for an undisturbed Earth. Including intergalactic colonisation in the scenario requires the said probability to be ~10-22. Ultimately therefore, Geocentric arguments approach to Anthropic Principle arguments. It is contended that a Copernican hypothesis is more likely to be a true explanation for Fermi's Paradox than the "Anthropic" view that the Universe has to be the size it is to host one civilisation (us).

This model for the NetLogo system is an attempt to recreate the experiment of Frédéric Marin and Camille Beluffi from 2018 by means of ABM. The experiment deals with the questions of how to choose the initial crew of a spacecraft and how to regulate its reproduction in order to survive a 6,300 year intergalactic journey from Earth to the distant planet Proxima Centauri b.

A quote attributed to Albert Einstein points out that intuition is the source of great ideas while mathematics is only intuition's faithful servant. Prior to being assaulted by equations, the two diagrams below immediately show a great similarity between Mercury’s precession and Planet Nine’s effect on the perihelia of several TNOs (Trans Neptunian Objects). On one side of the Sun, Mercury’s orbit displays an ascending pattern while its perihelion on the opposite side of the Sun maintains a constant level. In the second diagram, the TNOs on one side of the Sun show what can be viewed as a (less orderly) ascending or descending pattern. The greatest part of the orbit of the alleged cause of their perihelia being attracted to more-or-less the same point in space (Planet Nine) is on the other side of the Sun. 

This leads to consequences for the structure of space-time and for the Big Bang, for interstellar travel and radioactive dating, as well as for dark matter and dark energy. The proposed method of interstellar travel also leads to intergalactic travel plus elimination of distance between all points in the past, present, and future. To use a popular term, this is "time travel" which has the potential to remove the electronic and topological construction of the universe described in this article from any supernatural agency. That construction might be the result of presently unimaginable electronics, programming, and mathematics which won't be developed, in the words of astronomer Carl Sagan, until "billions upon billions" of years from now.

This paper maps out a vision demonstrating how the development of outer space and its resources can change the course of human history to benefit all humankind, in direct, meaningful ways. This will include an explanation outlining how outer space development can serve to build positive international relations between nations and end all war, conflict, poverty, inequality and injustice. It will identify global challenges, hot topics and ripe issues, and will explain how those challenges can be overcome through the use of connect the dot technologies to enable humankind to become a space faring civilization. Probable solutions for the legal obstacles perceived to be posed by the Outer Space Treaty, will also be set forth in the this paper.
