They'd probably do okay in the Amazon, but between the cutting down of trees and the fact that a Brachiosaur is larger than basically anything ever, chances are good they'd eat themselves out of house and home pretty quickstyles.
is that in all these utopian visions of the future that nerds and tfs (sorry tfs i love you) have
they all can travel faster than light
why do we assume that this will be the case when all evidence points to 'we will never travel faster than light'?
probably wormholes. you'de never be actually travelling faster than the speed of light, wouldn't you?
Wormholes and faster-than-light travel
Special relativity only applies locally. Wormholes allow superluminal (faster-than-light) travel by ensuring that the speed of light is not exceeded locally at any time. While traveling through a wormhole, subluminal (slower-than-light) speeds are used. If two points are connected by a wormhole, the time taken to traverse it would be less than the time it would take a light beam to make the journey if it took a path through the space outside the wormhole. However, a light beam traveling through the wormhole would always beat the traveler. As an analogy, running around to the opposite side of a mountain at maximum speed may take longer than walking through a tunnel crossing it. You can walk slowly while reaching your destination more quickly because the length of your path is shorter.

probabky wormholes. you'de never be actually travelling faster than the speed of light, wouldn't you?
yeah except we still have to find an inexpensive way to distort space-time
Money really isn't a problem for utopian phantasies, is it
oh i was talking about inexpensive in the sense that you don't need the energy liberated from the mass of an entire galaxy in order to do it
That wikipedia article mentions that for a 1 meter wormhole you'd need a mass of strange matter that'd be about as big as jupiter. that's huge, but not absolutely out of any imaginable proportions
Besides, wouldn't even a microscopically tiny wormhole which barely lets electromagnetic signals pass mean instant communication to and from anywhere in the universe?

This sounds kinda cool
yeah but to communicate with anything you'd have to travel to the other end first!
I mean what aliens are going to impressed by that? Should've drawn a third leg (yeah I know aliens weren't his intention, but I doubt they modified it for voyager).

My uncle is a retired physicist and now currently fiddles around with electronics and has discovered the chemistry of the perfect cup of coffee. Science is awesome.

He's right you know.

I wonder if they're going to assume that we've got 8 limbs.
The ancient Greeks found large male genitalia to be distasteful. Renaissance artists followed suit.

More likely they'll assume we're wheel-people.
