Althego: the real answer is: If the software breaks in orbit around Proxima Centauri you don't have to wait years for the update. You just have to fix it yourself.
<Althego>
i wouldnt let a ship there without an ai
<Althego>
that should be able to come up wioth a solution
<Althego>
provided it doesnt kill everybody on board :)

oh, new mutation found in the Amazonas region!
<Mat2ch>
Althego: AI will probably never work with todays computers.
<Mat2ch>
Althego: we aren't even close to have something like an AI...
<Althego>
also not close to sending a ship to proxima
<Mat2ch>
tbh, I'm waiting for the next big breakthrough. Should happen the next few years
<Mat2ch>
either fusion or ftl or maybe both?
<Mat2ch>
I guess a good fusion drive will have something to do with a good ftl drive
<Althego>
fusion lol, that is always decades away
<Althego>
ftl requires a new paradigm to work
<Althego>
which can happen, we dont know dark matter, dark energy and quantumgravity. maybe these are related
<Mat2ch>
there is no Dark Matter ;)
<Mat2ch>
that's what I'm guessing. Some old dark matter scientists will die, their assistents take over, take in new ideas and figure finally out, why the formulas are wrong
<Mat2ch>
and from then on it's going to go fast.
<Mat2ch>
and it looks like there might be soon a Cubesat that will test a QI horizon drive in space...
<Mat2ch>
sooooooooooon(tm)
<Mat2ch>
how long will it take to build? 2-3 years?
<Althego>
dark matter is the placeholder name of the effect
<Althego>
whatever it is
<Mat2ch>
But you can't call something "matter" if it doesn't exist at all.
<Mat2ch>
Then call it "dark effect" or "unknown gravitational effect"
<Mat2ch>
I'm really looking forward to that QI Horizon drive test. If it works then Starship will loose 3 of it's 6 engines ;)
<Mat2ch>
also travel time will be a lot shorter...

we have heat and electric capacity, yet there is no heat or electric fluid
<Althego>
these are just names
<Althego>
for historical reasons
<Mat2ch>
The problem with dark matter is that they really believe that it is matter!
<Mat2ch>
It just doesn't interact with anything else than gravity
<Mat2ch>
and now for something completely different:
