- The notion is that wormholes may connect from black holes and that
- black holes with lots of spin may have routes in which are, at least
- in principal, survivable.
-
- First find your black hole though, and preferably one that leads
- somewhere you might want to go.
-
- In this context it seems fairly unlikely that a "white hole" could
- exist handy for ET to emerge in our neighbourhood and we wouldn't have
- noticed. If they exist they are probably quite spectacular affairs.
-
- A more credible route to FTL travel would be some kind of technology
- where the ship digs it's own temporary wormholes. Particle physicist
- aim to create, very locally, conditions similar to the early moments
- of the universe. Quark soup. Maybe with enough energy and a big enough
- accelerator you can drill your own black holes (quantum black holes
- are theorised to have formed shortly after the big bang).
-
- Even if you don't have FTL though there are ways to explore the
- universe. Self-reproducing robot ships can explore the galaxy with
- minimal initial expenditure in a remarkably short time. When these
- ships encounter intelligent life they could, perhaps, _manufacture_ a
- crew as hinted at in Rendezvous with Rama. Maybe they carry the
- engrams and the information equivalent to the DNA of the a number of
- organisms.
-
- When you consider all the possibilities it would be surprising and,
- perhaps, rather offensive if there wasn't an alien species or two
- keeping at least surrogate eyes on us.
