InfinitasFri, Oct 16, 2009 nagash: I've read the book as well and I definitely think that the way to explore the universe is through ourselves. Is it possible to achieve such a result now though? Technology will eventually allow for this "mode of transportation," but I think that achieving Nirvana through Buddhist practices is the closest we currently can get(excluding the use of drugs because drugs wear off.)
I also agree with gamma. I've taken a liking to idea that the universe (and multiverse) is infinite, meaning every possible outcome is possible so long as they are within the laws of their respective universe.
