At the big bang there was a set amount of mass/energy and as such the universe as a finite supply of energy/mass (spread between the 4% we can detect, the 22% of which is dark matter and the 74% of which is dark energy (which is very rough of course)).
Lets see if I understand this right.
The current theory can only account for 4% of what we can observe, so the scientists have invented Dark Matter and Dark Energy both of which can not be currently proven, so:
a) Keep the Big Bang theory alive.
b) Make sure that the current understanding of physics doesn't dissolve in a puff of logic.
c) Make sure that people don't find a Babel Fish and make God disappear in a puff of logic.
TBH, I find all of this Dark Stuff to be very fishy, even more fishy than EVE's own Dark Shikari who seems to appear on just about any EVE thread with more than 10 posts

Holy Necro, batman.
And here I was trying to give valuable input to the discussion.
Either way, I have a problem, something I'd like to understand:
Quote:
...fabric of space is expanding
This I have a beef with. How do you explain it? I mean... what is this "fabric" of space? It's not like space has an axis to measure distance by, so all distance is measured by comparison. Also, afaik, the existance of an "ether" has been disproved.
Also, if you say that it is "expanding", you imply that it has boundaries... which I'd like to see. This would only make sense in a 4+ -dimenionsal space continuum, where this self-contained 3d system expands within a higher dimensional system. Which wouldn't make a difference for the distances between matter though, or would it?
It's really late, and I might just be spewing baseless gibberish, but if anyone could explain these things to me, I'd be a grateful bugger.

It has come to our attention that this thread was never answered, hence in the spirit of all things investigative I present AU as I believe we see it at CCP.
149597870.7 kms to the AU.
Thank you very much, I'm here all week.

WRT flying to another system:
While it should be theoretically possible, I don't believe it is actually possible.
My theory is that EVE is, contrary to popular belief, essentially a "sharded" MMORPG. However, unlike other sharded MMORPGs, players in EVE can move between the shards.
My belief is that each system is essentially a separate shard, and the jumpgates are the inter-shard connections. From a programming perspective, this makes a lot of sense in that rather than deciding which of the 30000+ players are close enough to see. the server only needs to know which players are in each shard.
This would mean that you could fly forever in the "right" direction, but never reach another system. |

But there should still be the option to slog through it the old fashioned way. Also, many stars, especially nearer the center of a galaxy, are sometimes within a LY or less of each other.
Maybe a new module to increase warp speed - that way you could go 20-50AU a second and in theory, get to the next system in an hour or two.
Well at least in game mechanics, it takes a buttload of capacitor to make a 161 AU jump in Oipo. Seems like the amount of cap needed to make longer warps goes up exponentially. In T1 barges (which are known for being VERY ineffiecant on capacitor for warp usage) I can make a 20 AU jump no problem. Even with Warp operation V and both cap skills to IV, Oipo takes like 3 jumps to make it across.
So i am assuming no ship carries the capacitor to make uber long jumps in between systems without having to recharge and just be a boring tedious process.

I gather certain ships can achieve 13.5AU/sec while in warp. That's equivalent to 810AU a minute, or 6,480 times the speed of light.
And if my calculations are correct (I make no promises here ), it would take a ship travelling at 13.5AU/sec five hours to reach our nearest star (alpha centauri) from Earth 
That is ofc not true. There's no people on this Earth who could tell you how much time it would take (if any) to cross an arbitrary distance at an alleged speed of 13.5AU/sec.
And even if you travelled almost at the speed of light, it would take a ridiculous amount of time for your ship to get to the nearest star from the viewpoint of observers remaining on Earth. It would have no practical benefits to have people aboard. And even if you had only comps inside the ship, it would take anywhere from decades to an infinite amount of time for the ship to return, depending on the distance travelled.
