Eh. It’s not like we’d be getting anywhere at sub-light speeds regardless and a working Alcubierre drive isn’t exactly right around the corner.
On the other hand, it might make it harder for anybody with working FTL to get to us, which is probably a good thing. If they saw how we’re conducting ourselves at the moment, orbital bombardment would be the best we could hope for.
Dammit - I just commented that on another post. This one is better.

Somewhat ironically… actually using an Alcubierre drive has been theorized to…
…well, basically, when you ‘come out of warp speed’, turns out you’ve been accumulating, and energizing, a whole bunch of exotic particles and radiation along the threshold of your ‘warp bubble’…
… so when you uh, decelerate/stop fucking spacetime so hard… you spew out an immense amount of exotic particles and radiation.
You just have to come out of warp right next to your target planet, and that’d probably boil off a good portion of its atmosphere, and give everything biological on the side facing you lethal radiation poisoning.
Yeah +1 on “it started slow but got better”. Not amazing or anything, but good enough that I wished there was more when I got to the last ep. But I do remember thinking it was bad early on and just kept watching out of boredom more than anything else.

Even in Battlestar Galactica they talk about the dangers in going into FTL near (or inside) another ship.

According to the beliefs of the religion I invented and I don’t usually talk about because no one asks and starting a cult is too much trouble to bother, there’s only one intelligent species per galaxy, you’re only allowed to meet the neighbours once you manage colonise it all.
Some other said that the universe is in a giant black hole, this also explain the acelerated expansion into it. We’ll seeAnyway the Earth don’t exist anymore since a long time, until the spaguetification, not even when Andromeda crashed with th Milkyway, maybe still when we know that we are NPCs in an Galactic WoW computergame.
Nothing to do with it, currently there are a growing numbers of hypotheses about the Universe, since the James Webb Telescope had trashed most of the old astrononical models. I’ve seen more than 5 changes of hipotheses to explain the differences between current observation and what before was taken as valid theory, fucking up the astpnomers and astro-physicists. These for sure had needed some colored pills with an whisky, putting years of work in the trashcan. Now the era of Brainstorming to fix it.

We haven’t even gotten to the dark age of technology yet. This knowledge must be lost pretty soon. Or maybe discovering the Eye of Terror is referring to first contact of some sort.
Does anyone know if this is related to this void we seem to be in, and if it’s promising at all? The connection to OP’s post is that I’m thinking this void was observed via redshift and this new thinking could change our understanding of our place in the universe as much closer to everything than it appears.

Maybe that’s was the objective. Aliens find a little planet in the middle of a space desert, untouched by any race. It’s a nice experiment, they came here, dropped some DNA (either like that awful movie or by masturbating hard) and left. Now they’re just watching and laughing and laughing.

Then again, it may not be. Rain overnight as well, unless there is not. The news is all supposition lately. Hail may kill you today, but it may not.
uncertainty is the human condition

Nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

So you wouldn’t even have to nuke it from orbit.

There was a series on Netflix that used this. It was alright though probably got cancelled. Can’t remember the name of it.
It was called “Another Life” and it was pretty bad lol
It started out pretty bad, but by the end of season 2 it has become really solid 👍
oooh I might have to revisit then, Im almost done rewatching king of the hill

That show is just so good, I’m not surprised
we’re under galactic quarantine until we get over this whole fascism thing we’ve been doing the last 20k years
If we’re really lucky, they could also be Ferengi.

We are the ferengi
“orbital bombardment”
They’d punch us in the eye?
Wilson, King of Prussia!
Good thing everyone and everything I know is here on earth.
It’s also right next to a giant chaos star apparently.
Explains American politics, MAGA = Tzeechian cultists
Only if you believe their leaders are playing real 4D chess
Otherwise, I’d say they’re more like a nurgle plague.
I sprained my nurgle the other day. Still swollen
Chaos star, you say?
Trapped, or imprisoned?
Intergalactic time out.
Exiled
Imagine the answer to the Fermi paradox being that the aliens found us and immediately quarantined our entire planetary system.
cough
They didn’t destroy Earth to build a bypass, the bypass was built around us
Username checks out
Dumb nerds. There’s a fucking crosshair pointed at us and they’re more interested in us in a void. /s
That's why no one ever comes over to visit

Would you please go into extreme detail about your religion? pretty please?
I want to send money and start a franchise.
Did they get back to you at all?
They asked for extreme detail, it could take a while.
Sure. That’s why.
A plural Z void?

You know how the military clears the area of a target for range practise?
The Vogons will be along shortly to clear out the rest for a hyperspace expressway.
Not if Kronos wins office
We’re being shunned by the galaxy.

I understand perfectly.

Sounds like this discovery places us IN the Eye of Terror.
Not only that, it’s the biggest void we have ever discovered!
“We found a hole!”
“Holy shit! Is it like the previous one at all?”
“It’s exactly like the previous one, only BIGGER!”

It is technically remotely their problem.
Imagine humanity’s ships emerging from “the dark realm” leaving other species’ empires realing in shock.
E Pluribus Anus?
So, if we ever reach the edge of the universe we’ll find out it’s just the inside of someone’s skull.
We might be inside a black hole
