Some questions from one who can barely spell physics.

Is faster than light travel possible?

Is it likely that other advanced civilizations exist in the universe?

Is it safe to say that even if intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe, there would no way to ever travel to that planet?

We on Earth are effectively alone in the universe?

Is faster than light travel possible?

No.

Is it likely that other advanced civilizations exist in the universe?

I would say yes.

Is it safe to say that even if intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe, there would no way to ever travel to that planet?

If there were one within a few hundred light years, it would not be beyond imagination to travel there, but still at the limits of imagination. Of course, this range includes a tiny fraction of our own galaxy.

We on Earth are effectively alone in the universe?
