Ha, ha. We’re still not going to agreed. You’re thinking small if you think a solar system of Terra-formed planets can contain an expanding human race. At the birth of Christ there were 150 million people on earth. We’re at 7.5 billion now. The population is growing a lot faster with modern technology and life extension. By the end of this century the population is predicted to be 12 billion.
We’ll fill up planets quicker than we can Terra-form them. Even though this is all speculation. I suspect we’ll kill ourselves or throw our technology back to the stone age with a war. The smarty pants guy below might be right.

Oh yeah, a sci-fi show called The Expanse follows along your reasoning. Mankind trapped in it’s solar system. Terra-formed Mars. Three separate spears of influence. The earthers, martians, and belters. Not bad for the most part, best sci-fi since Battlestar.

Interesting statement. With increasing technology comes the potential for worldwide destruction and slaughter of billions. Combine muslims with such technology and I doubt we will have a population problem in the distant future unless the muslims completely take over globally. If so then do you see muslims worrying about wormholes?
But even with increasing populations many seem to underestimate the sheer size of the solar system and the amount of potential habitable space available through exploitation of planets, moons, steroids and dyson spheres.
An extremely advanced civilization doesn’t have to travel that far. They can custom build what they need within their star system or nearby star systems.
This may be why we haven’t been conquered by aliens, e.g. Fermi paradox. There is really no need for them to come all the way out here.
