Earth:Will our cradle also be our grave?
by IronGland inwill we ever get off this rock?
we have two options for interstellar travel, fast or slow.
going fast will require technology we can barely comprehend yet, but even travelling at 99% the speed of light would only make 1% of our galaxy traversable within a human lifetime.

Anyone heard of the 'Phantom Time Hypothesis'?
by IronGland ina german systems analyst who asserts that the 'dark ages' did not exist.
the 300 years between 614 and 911 are an invention.we would then actually be living in the 18th century not the 21st.
prabably not true, but fun to think about and speculate on why the powers that be (catholic church) would insert 3 nonexistant centuries.
