Earth 2.0

only way to get there would be with Star Trek technology.

 

I wonder if anything already there.

 

in all seriousness.... if it is habitable there will be humans on it. Tech level unknown

 

Well it's sun is about 33% older than ours so I'd assume that means it has been there longer than our earth also.. if that's true I'd imagine there is not only some life there but probably more advanced life than ours. But that really depends on a lot of factors.

 

Okay, so I'm assuming you know that the fastest anything can travel is the speed of light. If we had a ship that could go that fast then it would take 1,400 years to get there from here....as a light year is a measure of distance and not of time.
Now, Einstein was not happy with the Newtonian physics that defined a the speed of light (or more specifically the speed of photons through the vacuum of space), and his mathematical prodding and poking came up with the theory of relativity and then related concepts that time and space could be manipulated and warped, or bent. This remains being only a theory, but- theoretically- one could travel vast distances very quickly by making the destination fold over to YOU rather than travelling the distance. If space were a sheet of paper and you put a dot on either end you could make them become close and even touch by folding the paper. Einsteinian physics says that maybe you could do this with space and open a wormhole between the two points to travel between them. This is what the doors to children's closets are in Monsters, Inc.
Aside from just sounding nuts because I don't buy the idea that space is a sheet of paper (like some gravitational theorists say), the amount of energy it would take to BEND THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE TO YOUR WILL would be unfathomable. Worse still if someone else is trying to bend it from another part of the galaxy. So under the BEST possible scenario- having a lightspeed drive- the time to get there remains at 1,400 years. Keep in mind that New Horizons is the fastest-moving man-made object we have launched to date and it took ten years to get to Pluto. On the upside, it arrived 72 seconds early.

 

Well, lets go ahead and get a satellite into space and heading that way. We'll have been dead forever but at least I know its going when I pass. I f##### love science!

 

Just did the math.

A rocket ship going 200 Mi/h will get there in a speedy 4.7 billion years.

 

Lol
We can definitely do better than 200 mph, but we're still gonna need to crew the ship with firtile hotties with good survival and social skills.
