It would take 200 years(or 642 yrs) if and only if one could travel at the speed of light, which is not gonna happen, so that's the time delay between "now" and what we are seeing for each object. Actual TRAVEL times for humans are far, far longer.

Slacktivists who care more about ideology than technological advancements.

Okay, dumb question . . . with that many moons in that many different orbits, how can none of them pull another out of orbit and cause collisions (that we would presumably detect from Earth)?

That’s highly probable, it’s not hard to say. Based on the infinite nature of the universe there’s actually infinite versions of you.

Do you know if Jupiter gives off any "heat"? Is it possible that Jupiter, though not creating fusion actually can result in a moon that has enough energy within the Jovian system to create a satellite that can result in temperatures that are conducive to life.

You assume you exist to start with.

If there are infinite universes then, obviously, yes. If there are, say, eleven (to pick a prime number), then probably not.

I disagree with this. Not all infinities are the same. The Universe could be infinite, and yet, there could be infinitely more variations of you (IE not the same), as an example, than there is space to contain an exact version, even with space being infinite. Also, just because the universe is infinite, it doesn't mean any combination of particles is possible. Ultimately, we're all a function of our entire observable universe, so if there's an 'exact copy' of you living in a universe where a single star, a billion light years away has a slightly different property, and you're aware of it, then by definition, it's not an exact copy. So you'd have to look far enough for not only a copy of you, but a copy of your entire observable universe which was able to contain that copy and ultimately, I think even with infinite space, there's probably not enough room to contain an identical copy of our entire observable universe. Basically, there are infinitely more variations of our own universe possible, than the infinity of space can hold to reproduce it exactly. So I think it's infinitely more likely to see a variation than a copy.

Other dimensions are a fact, otherwise black holes would not radiate, and the forces wouldn't exist.

Grand unifying theory doesn't exist yet

We can't prove that time exists

That is probably the most laughable peer reviewed article I've ever read!!!

Considering the fact that multiple universes only exists as a concept in our heads due to a science experiment (all other ideas about the nature of Reality derive from pre-Scientific myths and such), that tells me multiverse theory has a higher-than-zero chance of being truth.

So, there's a higher-than-zero chance of 'you' existing in another universe.

It's hard for philosophers to prove we or they exist because they use words which are inexact.

Scientists have proven we exist in this space/time.

You're not wrong.

While Jupiter keeps the asteroid belt in check, the moon keeps many asteroids that would normally hit us from missing just barely.

In fact, just last month we had a near earth orbit of a pretty large asteriod. The moon's orbit and gravitational pull ensured the asteriod didn't come strait at us.

What Big Science doesn’t want you to know is that moons are actually planet eggs. Jupiter is just the best at making eggs. We haven’t had any new hatchling planets in our solar system because of Hallie the space snake and others that come by and gobble them up before they hatch.

They aren't mutually exclusive. Or at least we don't know if they are yet. You probably don't exist in another dimension though. It's hard to prove you even exist in this one.

Yes, it’s Jupiter. Earth would probably be uninhabitable if not for Jupiter sucking up enormous amounts of asteroids away from us

I’d offer that our Moon had been critical in our evolution and, importantly, biology.

Tides mix up the hydrocarbons.
