EartH help: People usually make space ships, and rockets to travel out of earth. - Help.com

no because our position cannot be changed or we all die. we are perfectly far enough from the sun that the water doesnt boil away and we are just close enough that we have a habitual climate and the waters not frozen. if we move we die

if we navigate out of orbit that means we won’t have the sun to depend on for warmth so we’ll probably be floating in space as a huge chuck of ice; unless we happen to float towards the sun, then we will simply disintegrate. and that’s assuming we could indeed push the earth out of orbit. i don’t really know anything about astronomy, but that’s what i think anyway!!

I’m sure it’s possible to alter the Earth’s orbit, but to actually propel it and steer it through space, with any accuracy, probably isn’t. It would require to much energy.

We can’t move away or towards the Sun, we’ll either be frozen or burned

There’s a more scientific reason why we can’t just move the Earth as a whole, but I have no knowledge in that.

You are speaking about something that is of order to a great magnitude.
The good news is, ‘yes’. One day earth will become a spaceship and instead of going around in circles, we will likey travel into the infinite and see things that our current telescopes cannot detect.
“How?” you ask. Well, Being a person of Christian faith, thus believing in the Bible, the Good Word tells us that the earth will be remade anew. Further, that the Kingdom of Heaven will come to rest upon it. The Bible tells us that there will be no need of the sun because the light of Heaven illuminates it - providing all the light necessary for photosenthesis.
There is a time, beyond what the Bible can refrence for us. A time when the sun will go into supernova. I don’t think that we will be around to get in it’s way and I don’t believe that God will desire to hold it back. The only logical thought to the matter is that we get out of its way. I believe we will. I consider space the physical measurment of eternity. I can imagine earth as also being a spaceship, where upon we shall travel.

do u mean we should not or we absolutely cannot move the earth?

For one thing, if it stops rotating it will lose its’ gravity, and its’ atmosphere. lol

both, not only would it kill us but with the gravitational pull of the sun we probably dont have anything powerful enough to break orbit

we probably can, but shouldn’t.

no, but i learned this from Futurama.
build an engine that doesn’t move a single vessel, but instead moves space around that vessel.

it’s sad what you can learn from a cartoon

even sadder when you believe it XD

hey, i honestly don’t see why it couldn’t work.
they say time and space are all relative. and if you can use energy to move and object through space, why couldn’t you use energy to bring space to an object?

whether we can move the earth is questionable, and as far as we know space is infinite so idk if that’ll work just about now.

as far as we know?
and if it is infinite it would be circular, like all modern wonders.
if you think about it everything is circular, even energy itself

that’s fine w/ me, we live in a circular universe. :)

yay! it’s all one big loop!

coolinglife wrote:
for a similar situation, can we manipulate a living thing?

Yep, clones, all the modifications to humans etc etc.

here’s a $1.75 for your thoughts…
if all things are continuous, the sun, the moon, the earth. air and water, life and death.
then logically space is the same, just one big loop
well if space is one big loop then what’s stopping time from being a giant loop?
well if time is one big loop then by definition, everyone and everything, all fate has been predeclared. logically we could never travel through time, and even if we could we could never change it. in fact the one and only thing that powers this gargantuan universe is destiny.
that means that we really don’t make decisions, they’ve already been made. we could never stop adolf hitler because it was destiny that the holocaust happened.
so by definition, we are merely robots. and there is no such thing as free will.

whatever floats your boat.

disprove my theory.
do ehht noww!

i forget who it was that said, i think therefore i am
meaning, if i ” think “, if i am capable of abstract thought, then i DO indeed exist.

you forgot ‘there is no spoon’.

but there are spoons
just no forks

There are neither - just try again to eat your speghetti with one flat butterknife:P
