simple, just warp space and you can travel infinite distances without having to go through space  

 

Or you could simply calculate the exact improbability of arriving at the place you want to be.

Interesting article, thanks for posting.

 

This thing reminds me that the idea of really fast space travel seems dangerous.

 

Imagine going, say, 25% the speed of light from point A to point B.  There's so much random junk floating all over the place out there.  How would you see it and avoid it in time?  

 

They tried to address this problem in Star Wars when Han Solo said something like "the computer needs to map our route so we don't fly into a star" or something like that, but that assumes you know where everything is and have an accurate map.  Plus, everything, even the stable stuff, is moving all the time.

 

You would have to devise some type of technology that pushes stuff out of the way of the space craft or something like that, so even if something was in your way, it wouldn't hit you.

 

Anyone have a solution to this problem?
