With all of the resources in our own solar system, we could engineer 3,000 Earth-like planets. Think about that simple fact for a minute. Yes, we want to leave our solar system, and yes that would be damn interesting. But there is a very interesting logic to staying right here. You have 4 billion years or so left on our very friendly (according to Clark Kent anyway) yellow sun. Let's use it. The engineering challenge is simply that: a matter of time, money, and technology. Why would we really have to go anywhere? You you want to be careful with planetary engineering yes - but the concept that we are going to destroy the Earth is stupid. Why not replicated it? Why not make other planets for us to live on? Dyson sphere my butt.. you don't need that (though again - cool concept). You just need to tug planetary bodies into the habitable zone and terraform. Hell, you could even use one of them to build the all-time best interplanetary traveler - a planetoid with a fully und...

How a Medieval Philosopher Dreamed Up the 'Multiverse' SPACE.com By by Katia Moskvitch, SPACE.com Contributor Apr 2, 2014 7:58 AM How a Medieval Philosopher Dreamed Up the 'Multiverse' . The universe as envisioned in Goussin de Metz' "L'image Du Monde," published in 1245. Bibliothèque … The idea that our universe may be just one among many out there has intrigued modern cosmologists for some time. But it looks like this "multiverse" concept might actually have appeared, albeit unintentionally, back in the Middle Ages. When scientists analyzed a 13th-century Latin text and applied modern mathematics to it, they found hints that the English philosopher who wrote it in 1225 was already toying with concepts similar to the multiverse. The study, published on the pre-print server Arxiv and accepted by the Proceedings of the Royal Society A, has brought together two traditionally quite separate subjects: cosmology and history.
