Let’s say that humans actually settled on Jupiter and the “United States of Jupiter” adopted the same driving law. If you waited to get your license until you were 18 years old, living on Jupiter your whole life, what would your age be in Earth years?

In the very distant future, could a starship supposedly generate it's own wormhole around the ship? The spacecraft could generate massive amounts of magnetic energy and other forms of energy that would cause space-time distortions that would limit the worm-field to be the same shape as the ship. That way, the ship could travel through the wormhole and yet remain on course. I'm NOT crazy, I just had this idea. Could it happen?

i'm thinking of buying a meade etx 70 telescope, i'm just starting out on astromony, i dont want to spend too much on a scope and if i get into it i'll upgrade at a later date.

We know that it's a LOT, because we can see with our eyes and our lovely telescopes that there are, because we have actually counted and catalogued them. My question is, how do you count the ones you cannot see?

You know without a doubt, there's more, but how do you really really know if you can't see them?
What is the thought process that leads to the conclusion that the unseen, unverifiable star is real? Is it The Scientific Method? Please help me understand the manner in which Science comes to it's conclusions.

I am writing a script about a computer Earth installation deep in space that simulates things and creates them on Earth. i.e tests the plausability of humans and decides to wipe them out. There is a sole creator of Earth on Model Earth.

What is the scientific plausability of a second Earth and divine creator and how can I make my story more interesting?
