Disagree. 100 years ago nobody envisioned the internet, cell phones, nanotechnology, etc. The pace of new inventions and technology usage is accelerating. Billions more people, some of them worth the oxygen they use, are getting access to education and information, which will spur innovation. I think pretty much anything we can imagine right now will ultimately happen.TC204 wrote:I doubt mankind will ever get out of our own galaxy never mind traveling to other ones.
Simple statistics: If a thing is a billion to one (even if you could accurately calculate that) it becomes inevitable given enough time.

When you get up to light speed doesn't mass start turning into energy? When I took physics that was what my teacher was saying.TC204 wrote:It's a tough call, will man be around long enough to manufacture something capable of this? We're approx 26,000 light years from the center of our galaxy, which is 250-300 thousand light years in diameter. Even at light speed no one can make it out in a life time. Light speed and some kind of cryo unit would be needed. Even then once they make it out the Earth might not even exist anymore to have someone to report home tolusus wrote:Disagree. 100 years ago nobody envisioned the internet, cell phones, nanotechnology, etc. The pace of new inventions and technology usage is accelerating.

Sometimes you feel tired, feel weak
When you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up
But you gotta search within you, find that inner strength
