Is space exploration and possibly colonization of other planets the future of humanity?

@Northwest GR is a fascinating subject, and a lot easier to understand that quantum theory. ;)

@Sharon SR (Gamma factor) and GR will be harmonized with Quantum Mechanics, sooner or later, of that I am certain :-) I still think that Celestial Mechanics, at the Macro level, are as complicated as quantum mechanics.

Or they'll be replaced by a new, all encompassing theory. That's the beauty of science, it's not held back by outdated dogma.

@AceWarbringer

I hope so!

@Pikachu We will colonize space eventually, but I think we should focus on our resources here. I mean, we haven't even figured out how to turn salt water into h2o yet. The ocean has plenty of water and the sun provides an abundance of solar energy. We could build man-made islands and even underwater civilizations easily with the abundance of resources we have on earth.

@SW-User

True. Well hopefully we'll get to that before it's too late.
I think ultimately our future will have to be off planet, but i agree that we're going to have to sort things out down here first.

@SW-User We don't need to desalinize water, in the Western world, but that's a common practice in several countries: Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, etc.

But yes, our oceans have not been fully explored, but our goal should be to decelerate, when it comes to population growth.

Well i think that's probably true. Or maybe it wold be more true to say that it would require a serious change in priorities.
