Will We Ever Be Able to Travel to Other Stars?

some say no others say yes…

Scientists like Stephen Hawking have pondered if and how this could be possible.  We also have entertaining and informative thinkers such as the ever adventurous VSauce.  He curates videos on a lot of scientific topics and poses questions from different perspectives.  In this video he examines how or if we could travel to other stars.

What he has to say might surprise you.

And if you have read about some of the recent tests by NASA in regards to the sls engine and the em drive it may add a twist to this discussion.

Let’s find out how he thinks we could travel to other stars in the video on page 2

    I honestly hope not. Because once humans find new and maybe intelligent life there is no doubt humans will try to capture and “experiment” on them or possibly enslave them

    Well we haven’t been able to travel to our start the sun. If someday humanity find the way to produce antimatter (a affordable and substantial amount) we could design a wrap drive spaceship and move thur space even faster that the speed of light. All that ideas are just dreams for now. This will be hard until the day that the government invest money in the fields that really matters. And stop Investing it, in projects that will lead us to our self-destruction…

    Even antimatter- matter detonations don’t produce the energy needed to “Fold” space. Or create a gravity wave to “Surf” the cosmos.
    Our understanding is so infantile at this point, perhaps in a thousand years?

    I hope so, the alcubierre drive is just mathematically possible, just like gravitational waves were discovered by Einstein 100 years ago. Now we have prove that gravitational waves exist.

    Until the BP, BLM, KKK and other ironic hate groups, and the general hive mind hate of difference that exists abroad. Vanish? Till people can stop attacking people for being different? I hope it never becomes possible.

    No. They will meet with the astronaughts. meetings will commence. Then the aliens will capture other aliens to sell as slaves to the astronaughts. Then Aliens will be amoung the first to own alien slaves. Then, two hundred years or so later. When it finally gets abolished, it was all the astronaughts fault.

    Why tf do we hope to achieve such endeavors with “investment, money, funding” it’s such horse$#%&!@* Money is fucking irrelevant in the cosmic scale? Yeah whatever you need to pay the workers the supplies blah blah$#%&!@*you all that$#%&!@*should be free this is the fucking future of the human species!

    Until they can figure out how to bend space and time I don’t believe so. Or else it’s going to be a long, long journey. Spanning dozens of generations. We can currently probably get to very close to the speed of light but have not figured out how to stop. Even at light speed it would take a very long time to reach our closest star systems.
