IsaacGS Wrote:the fact that it has 3 suns is not the reason why there can't be life there. in fact a large number of stars are binary or trinary systems (about 1/3). It takes a long time to travel, sure, but that's far from a show stopper. Ever heard of a "generation ship"?
Beyond that, there are possibilities to avoid relativity while effectively traveling faster than light. For example, a wormhole creates a bridge which is much shorter than if you tried to go around the long way. It makes the two points physically closer, but you would still probably need to travel below lightspeed to cross the bridge. From the perspective of normal space, however, they'd have traveled a massive distance in a short amount of time - essentially, faster than light.
wouldn't more than 1 star(sun) would emit such a large amount of ultraviolet light and others that it's nearly impossible for life to form?

Quote:If BBC or MSN told me something about space travel, I would be wary, but a TV Show dedicated to "The Universe" is a lot more reliable because it quotes several professors during the show.yes a lot of show are true, but a lot are twisted (not false, but twisted) so that they get the fund for it. sometimes even organizations needed funds to do things so they twisted the truth a little bit to satisfy what the audience wants to hear. and i know this from a credible professor/astronomer
