And those cryogenic chambers

before we have the tech

@fatugly That's a big assumption lol

or stasis pods

What would you do, pack people on a spaceship and make them breed for 10,000 generations until they reach a new star and die of starvation? How would you bring oxygen? How would you bring food or water? How would you even get a ship that has enough supplies to sustain life that long off the ground?

If we can do digital life and then imprint our minds onto cloned bodies, we'd do it.

There already are ppl who volenteered to be placed in cryogenic chambers, hoping they can be revived in the future and get theire diseases cured

Or do you just think we'd hop in a TARDIS and appear there at will?

@SH3LLSH0CK We can make them immortal or put them to sleep...for a long time

@frugalcasper the argument being made is that we wont every get to like alpha centauri because we cant--which is not true--it is an inevitability assuming we dont die

@fatugly How far away is alpha centauri?

uh some light years

idk

Just across the street

lemee google

4.367 light years

No they froze them while they were alive

This talk makes me think of all the futurists with their head in the stars., they plan everything out with such precise detail...yet they wont take womens right away.

Some light years? We have to develop technology that will allow us to travel to the speed of light and then most places in the universe are too far away for a single crew to make it

That's just a hop, skip, and a jump away.

@frugalcasper Magic

Women's rights only exists because men allowed them

with our current tech it'd take 137 thousand years

yup

@fatugly So it would take over 4 years at the speed of light. We are a ways away from haveing a craft that can do the speed of light

About the time it takes me to get up in the morning @fatugly

@Deadly Shells That's the best luck we would have at exploring the universe

what im saying is that we are primitive af right now

@fatugly we can still approach light and benefit from time dilation.

we just started making a ton of progress relatively recently

About 100 years.

to think that'll level out is dumb

it'll continue exponentially

Nah, we'll make it.

This likely wont happen, but we could also discover ancient alien tech on other worlds

unlikely^

You guys don't get it, our life is a geological phenomenon, the entirety of your evolution is made with the assumptions that you will be living on Earth

that could help us

Exactly

"At present, the closet known galaxy to the Milky Way is the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy – aka. the Canis Major Overdensity. This stellar formation is about 42,000 light years from the galactic center, and a mere 25,000 light years from our Solar System."
