What science to your opinion humanity should focus the most in order to survive, as long as possible?

In my opinion space science is key to survive for humanity, if scientists would find a way to travel in to other star systems and making colonies in other planets.

settle a bet for me.
why wasn't the earth destroyed during the big bang?

Nasa's Jet Propulsion laboratory has just confirmed that interstellar space travel is possible and can be achieved in less than 1 human life time.

Aeronautics Engineer Michael Cross reported Sunday morning to "Florida Today." Stating "This is a astronomical step forward in space exploration, quite literally in fact!"

"Using data gathered from CERN's study of the superluminal particle called a 'neutrino", he continued, "and coupling that data with experiments on ion-propulsion, we have, in theory, created a means of Faster-Than-Light travel!"

On the other hand, what some NASA Physicists refer to as "apparent" or "effective" FTL travel depends on the hypothesis that unusually distorted regions of spacetime might permit matter to reach distant locations in less time than light could in normal or undistorted spacetime.

Since one might not travel faster than light, one might conclude that a human can never travel further from the earth than 40 light years if the traveler is active between the age of 20 and 60. A traveler would then never be able to reach more than the very few star systems which exist within the limit of 20-40 light years from the Earth. This is a mistaken conclusion; due to time dilation, the traveler can travel thousands of light years during their 40 active years.

Dr. Cross explained that his research team has even built one such engine that may be capable of FTL propulsion, but could not elaborate any further because he got into one little fight and his mom got scared and said "You're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air."

Dr. Cross further explained that it is only a minor set-back, but he refuses to view it as a hindrance to his team's work stating, "Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid."

this shit was booming last time

I wonder if there is any life on Europa.....
