One thousand years ago, the fastest modes of transportation maybe could do 15 mph. People believed the earth was flat & the sun revolved around the Earth. Today, the Shuttle & satellites routinely do 15,000+ mph. One thousand years from now, I expect the same quantum leap in technology. A million years from now, the speeds possible might very well be light years per SECOND, making your vacation trip to Proxima Centauri* take 4.5 seconds, plus 3 hours in the security check line. Of course, if you manipulate space/time properly, you can get there before you leave.
“Ain’t never going to happen.”
No disrespect intended, but history has frequently proved that statement to be incredibly wrong.
*I believe you meant Proxima Centauri vs. Alpha Proxima. Anyway, PC is a red dwarf & not very appealing. Also, no pool at the Holiday Inn & the neutral gravity beds are lumpy.
Unfortunately, neither of us is going to live long enough to say I told you so, unless of course the laws of physics receive a revision, which I personally think is more likely than the possibility that man ever will get there.
