19 THE COLONIZATION PROCESS
The colonization process to spread advanced civilizations through space would be done slowly by traveling to the nearest stars first, but if an advanced civilization discovered an inhabited planet like earth many light-years away it would not send a expedition to explore it directly, but would have to wait thousands of years until both planets were at their minimum distance assuming that the rotation of the galaxy was bringing them closer together little by little. It could also be reached centuries after having discovered it, but not by an expedition sent directly from the planet of origin but by another arising from a colony installed near it, because we must not forget that the logical thing is that an advanced civilization believes colonies around it covering a radius of hundreds of light years expanding until the spirits of their original planet finish reincarnating into people thus ending their campaign of colonization of worlds.
When this moment arrived, the mother planet could have colonized several thousand planets between the own planet and the discovered one, thus reducing the distances between them, in this way, it would be easy to reach other mother planets that at that moment could be in their phase early development. For this reason, I find those who say that great space distances are an insurmountable obstacle for other extraterrestrial civilizations to reach our planet seem naive, they do not understand that if they are already here it is because they most certainly began their approach journey thousands of years ago reducing the distances that separate us by creating colonies on planets located between their home planet and ours. Nor is it true that only planets like Earth can be inhabited, because with the right technology all planets can be habitable, the giants through their moons and the small ones directly. This would not be done by modifying the atmosphere of the planets, but by building hermetic cities with their own internal climate.
The most important thing in space travel is not the speed of the ships but their adaptation to space, therefore, the ships would be built as if they were space cities of several kilometers in size and provided with everything necessary to live comfortably for centuries if it were necessary. It is possible that during all that time the travelers could not visit any planet until they reached their destination, but instead it would be possible to make trips to the other ships of the expedition fleet, in that way, time would pass exactly as if they had been on your own home planet.
To travel to the stars, the ships could use their own reaction gas or they could also use the little gas in space, but this could only be done in places like nebulae where there is a lot of gas between the stars. These ships would have large gas deposits that would occupy most of their fuselage, a nuclear reactor would generate the necessary heat to heat the gas to high temperatures and then expel it at high speed to give the necessary impulse to be able to reach the closest stars in a few years. In the event that it was necessary to make the ships even faster, they could be divided into two stages, in this way, once the reaction gas used in the acceleration phase had been consumed, the second stage in which the Passengers would be separated from the first stage in which the gas already consumed would be found, in this way it would only be necessary to carry reaction gas and energy to carry out the braking of the second stage once the ship reached its destination. In the event that it were possible to use the gas from space as the reaction mass, then the gas would be collected by means of a funnel located at the front of the spacecraft in a similar way as is done in airplanes equipped with jet turbines, in In space, there is very little gas per square centimeter, but in return the speed of the ships may be greater as there is almost no resistance to their advance, this could compensate for the situation. Once the gas was compressed, a nuclear reactor would heat it up and expel it at an accelerated rate. With this system, it would not be necessary to carry the gas accumulated in the ship, this would serve to reduce its weight and consequently less energy would be spent. Another option would be nuclear fusion engines, at present they are not yet possible but in the case of achieving this, the energy derived from the fusion of hydrogen atoms would make it possible for the ships to reach higher speeds than those of the chemical type. The ideal thing for any spacecraft would be to reach at least 15% of the speed of light because with that speed the journey to the stars would be relatively easy.
When a civilization with the capacity to travel through space considers colonizing a nearby planet, it must first check if it is already inhabited, because the logical thing is to respect the natural development of the planets that may exist in the universe, in addition, planets like Earth with Organic life is very scarce in the galaxy, this means that there are thousands of uninhabited planets that can be populated without disturbing the life that may exist in others. Populating an already inhabited planet is a crime that any civilized planet in the cosmos will surely reject. In reality, all planets can be inhabited using technology, so it makes no sense to prevent the normal development of a planet with its own life using that argument. Once it has been decided that a planet is going to be colonized, a space fleet made up of city ships with a capacity for about twenty thousand crew members would be built, this expedition would serve as a seed to later populate the destination planets. The colonization of worlds could not be used as a method to solve an excess population of another planet, because to solve an excess population the most practical thing is to create a demographic control system, therefore, the process of colonization of other stars would be done only through a small expedition due to the immense costs that this implies. These city ships would be prepared to live in space for centuries if necessary for the duration of the journey between the stars, but they would be able to offer the same quality of life as if they were on Earth. The blue giant type stars such as the Pleiades would not be inhabited, because this type of stars are immersed in a process of mutation that will end with the explosion of the star, this means that if a community were installed on one of their planets they would have to abandon it in a relatively short period of time if we consider it on a universal time scale. The destiny of these unstable stars is to explode, later, with their ashes, other planets and smaller stars will be formed that then would be able to be inhabited indefinitely. The safest thing is that many blue giant stars do not have planets of their own, because the complex atoms that are necessary to form planets are obtained from the ashes left by the explosions of those stars, because they form them inside.
If a planet had to be abandoned to go to another star after being completely populated, ships with capacity for the entire population would not be built, but the most practical thing would be to reduce its population to a small number, then that last community would be he would board the colonial ships to go to his destination. The spirits of those who could not travel would then move at the speed of light and await their opportunity to reincarnate again when the colonial population had children. The same would happen with all the spirits of animals and plants that at this time are on inhabited planets such as Earth, because once this planet begins to populate the planets in its environment, these spirits will have to move to them if they want to reincarnate as human beings, because we must bear in mind that to create a person it is not enough with the matter of their body, it is also necessary a spirit that inhabits it and gives that body its own life. This means that when all the spirits that are now on Earth get their chance to reincarnate, then the planet will lose its plant or animal life, and those spirits will live forever as humans. When that happens, humanity must obtain its food and the oxygen necessary to live through its own technology. Scientists should strive to learn to create food through technology, because in this way, it would be easier to survive on any planet regardless of the climate or gravity it may have, because it is a mistake to try to depend exclusively on plants and just wait to see if they can adapt to these planets, it is much better to imitate the same methods they use and create proteins or vitamins artificially. We must not forget that in reality plants are also machines, although they are defined as biological.
In the future, all products from factories will be recyclable by law, but not only so that they are easily recycled after they are finished being used, but the law will oblige companies to manufacture products in such a way that their useful life is maximum and not as it happens now that many times it happens that the same device has several parts with a useful life of twenty years and instead others only five, causing the device to fail and have to be thrown away. For this reason, the logical thing is to force companies to have an adequate synchronization between the time of use of the products they manufacture, and if that is not possible, then they must manufacture the devices in conditions so that those parts of shorter duration can be easily replaced by users. Many companies design their products so that they last little and thus increase their sales, this is what governments should monitor so that it does not happen.
It is pathetic to see how today's society destroys itself and turns the world into a landfill because they only care about increasing productivity instead of prioritizing the conservation of the environment. The governments of some developed countries behave like cancer cells, because they understand very well the meaning of the phrase (economic growth), but they do not know the meaning of the phrases (conservation of the environment) or (distribution of wealth). However, this responsibility is not only of governments, because citizens should set an example by using products until the end of their useful life, and not as it happens now that many throw away almost new things just for vanity.
Nor does it make sense to think that the colonization of the planets will be done through methods such as teleportation that is often shown in movies, because that system has no scientific basis. Nature invented movement in order to be able to transport complex material objects without causing their destruction and the loss of all the intellectual value that they carry inside, an example of this are the stars or planets, because they move through the space without losing its properties or shape at any time. Instantaneous transport at the speed of light is only possible for energy and everything that it transports, such as information, that is to say that by means of an energy beam it is possible to transport information but not matter. It is true that a flow of matter can also be created at high speed like that produced in a rocket jet, but it is absurd to think that afterwards it can be made into an adult person because for that it takes nine months of gestation and eighteen years of growth, in addition, if we analyze in detail the myth of teleportation, we must take into account that first it would be necessary to kill the person, convert their body mass into a jet of particles and then wait for a machine to achieve that much your soul and your body return to how they were before. It makes no sense to propose something similar when spacecraft already exist for that, allowing organized matter to be transported without losing any of its properties. Nor does it make sense to believe that it is possible to travel by means of space folds, because space does not have matter precisely because it is the opposite of it, space cannot be stretched, folded, bent or perforated, because these are qualities of matter and not of matter space. Space is neutral to matter and the fact that it is used to make comparisons of the behavior of matter does not imply that this is why they are applicable to space. This means that space travel is only possible by traveling the distance between planets and stars.
Today, there are many scientists who try to seek the immortality of the body with their scientific research, but by doing so they show that they have a soul of stone, that is, a soul full of matter but without spirituality, because they refuse to recognize that where Immortality is truly found is in the eternal spirit that is found within our body. Trying to seek the immortality of the body is like despising this supreme truth. For this reason, there will always be children, because when we reincarnate, in addition to renewing our body, we can relive the emotions that occur every time we discover something new. In addition, it is absurd to try to maintain the body indefinitely, because with death and subsequent birth, genetic changes that are necessary can be made when creating a completely new body. Because just as it would be absurd to try to maintain a washing machine or a television forever by limiting itself only to changing the parts, in the same way it would be absurd to try to maintain the body only with punctual repairs. Let's not forget that our body is also a machine, albeit a biological one, and its form of renewal is death. The solution to renew the body is the reincarnation of the spirit, in this way each life can be lived as if it were the first. Children give joy and assure parents a life without boredom. Parents give attention to children and children give affection to parents, so that both find a healthy balance in this way.
