1.4 million years from now we will be beings made of energy and with a mere thought fling the other star away.

My biggest hope is that the obunghole’s Pentagon will have been dismantled by then... I know that is probably a case of unbridled optimism, but I’m old and don’t know any better...

A few years ago, an earth-sized world was discovered around Proxima Centauri. So if and when we can send a space probe or spacecraft to the stars, I expect Proxima will be the first destination.

The Oort Cloud extends three-quarters of the way to our nearest neighboring star, Proxima Centauri - if we're including the outer fringes of the Oort Cloud in our solar system, then yeah - I guess wandering stars would pass through surprisingly often.

*With what we know about gravity and massive objects how is this even possible?*
Because we don’t know EVERYTHING about gravity and massive objects.

The Oort ‘cloud’ is not much of a cloud- you could travel thought it and never hit a thing- never even come close
