They won't want all of us anywhere else, or it would be the same. I heard 50% of people would split off into another direction into space.

Solar systems are containment systems. It would be pretty bad for the universe for humans to stick their nose everywhere else. We are a horrible evil species enough, other species don't wanna deal with our retardation.

Known science would allow us to go to another solar system with the invention and development of some actually plausible technology, but anyone we send there isn't coming back.

every alive today will die in the solar system. so no.
will humankind ever leave the solar system? possibly yes. on a long enough timescale it is probably some individual or group will amass enough capital to build a starship and leave. will they survive until the reach their destination? who knows? probably not. in an immediate sense, no, stasis seems unlikely as a technology. so any sort of mission would be over multiple generations and have many failure modes. but they would be the first people to effectively escape the solar system.
all in all it's not a bad system, i kind of like it. one sun providing energy with a lifespan far beyond that of life itself. mars right next door, a planet that is inhospitable but not actively hostile to humanity. like the perfect testbed for our interplanetary ambitions. gas giants with lots of potential. even an asteroid belt full of rare earth minerals. and no other intelligent life. it's a nice system. it could be a whole lot worse.
viewed a certain way, one could say our solar system is practically perfect for an incumbent intelligent civilization to start making use of it's resources.

There is enough resources on the moon, near earths, and main belt asteroids for trillions of humans.
To colonize alpha centauri will require several technologies to be developed:
Room temp superconductors
Plasma shielding
Ability to construct ships carrying hundreds of thousands of humans w rotating gravity.
Fusion torch drives
All of these are possible within a century
The actual ships to alpha centauri would take centuries to get there, so they have to be generation ships.
Getting even close to light speed is not possible due to the interstellar plasma and dust (extreme drag), the only way is via generation ships. But colonizing alpha centauri is not needed. The solar system has enough resources for an unfathomable number of humans.

PLATO (2027) is estimated to find a few dozens actual Earth twins, no red dwarves bullshit finallyAfter that, ARIEL (2031) will filter them by atmosphere, likely finding life in several of themSo in 5 years we'll have a realistic target to get out of the solar system

interstellar distances are too vast and what power and food source could possibly survive the thousands of years to traverse this void where even the sun is just another twinkling star?

Anon04/25/26, 11:37No.16964917
maybe depends how long we make it but like if we make it another thousand years maybe

Anon04/25/26, 22:04No.16965323
Probably not. And if we ever launch a craft intended to settle another system, the ones who build it will be long dead if/when the settlers arrive. And we wouldn't be able to maintain contact with the craft for very long, either. It would be like sending a group of people to swim from California to Australia with pagers and military rations, except the swimmers would have a far better chance of survival if they ever actually reached Australia.

I have a theory that there’s just a universe painting on a wall right after where the solar system ends.

No.
The only realistic options for space travel are extra-planetary inbetweeners, where each co-traveling fleet becomes breakaway civilization in-itself, and/or a series of breakaway civs each bound to a habitable planet and its solar system.Going into space will cause speciation. Colonizing a planet will cause speciation. Relativistic effects will guarantee everyone gets further and further out of sync with each other in time as well as space.
There is no "us" across such distances.

You can't
Even if you did you won't reach anywhere aliveEven if travelling with speed of light is possible and immortality becomes real , by the time you reach another planet where there are living beings
the civilization there would have extinct already

now that life has evolved the fragile rna molecules
I'd be all for sending bazillions of organisms in space in every direction and checking in a billion years to look back at those that made it and turned into crazy space-viable life that synthesize energy in completely novel ways with extreme mechanisms for protecting the dna

Maybe. It only took us like 200 years to go from hot air baloon to spaceship. Maybe give it another 500 years and we will have acheived something greater that is capable of easily exiting the solar system. Also, if we are somehow able to capture advanced alien spacecraft it would not be long for it to be reverse engineered in our favour.

Your answer is somewhere in the many motivations for wanting AI to become real.
Real AI means we can feasibly make an AI system that can copy a mind.

Anon05/09/26, 21:04No.16973271
Probably not.
We are biological beings with evolved desires whose fulfillment can be simulated with technology. Before we assemble the resources to reach another star we'll have probably assembled the resources to orgasm ourselves to death.

It might be possible, but so many things need to go right and it would take such a long time to develop to such a point where we could do this that it is almost improbable.IIRC, the fastest humans could realistically travel is about 10% of the speed of light, so even if we build a O'Neill cylinder space ship and travel that fast, it would still take decades to even reach the nearest star.

You fuckers are just making things up. Use actual evidence to make your arguments.You can't just say "we haven't even been to the moon yet" or "we have unlocked super fast FTL quantum wormhole travel technology." You are just making up shit and it's coming from your mouth instead of your butt.If you want to be realistic, consider the facts. And the facts are, it's been about 50 years since we first landed on the moon and we still have zero human colonies there, we haven't even landed on the moon since the 1970s. No human has ever walked on mars yet either, and the nearest solar system is so far away that a crew could not possibly survive that long in modern technology. It would take like 100,000 years or more.Throwing aside all theories of technology that doesn't exist yet, if you want to be completely realistic and just base it on the facts. A crew would need to survive thousands of generations on the space craft to make it to Proxima Centuri one way trip using modern technology. And I'm still waiting for us to settle the moon or walk on mars... keep saying two more weeks... lol.
