Right now? Basically sleepwalking.

In a few millennia, exploding across the galaxies in an unrelenting tide.

Nope. Leaving the solar system isn’t possible and will never happen.

If a ship travels along the planetary plane then it would take a long ass time before exiting the solar system....so the short trip is achieved by going perpendicular to the planetary plane.

It would take thousands of years to get anywhere and thermodynamics don’t allow for ships to last that long. Grow up. There’s never going to be a sci-fi future and we are doomed to extinction.

^this nigga sounding like lord Kelvin when he said that there is no more science to be discovered, just more accurate measurements, and may I remind you, that was before Einstein and all them smart boys bohr, schrodinger, Heisenberg etc...

Which takes a fuck of a lot more energy to accomplish

Even if that happened, what is really the point of that? The universe will end one way or another and all that work will have been for nothing.

Let’s say we find how to reach the speed of light for cheaps. Humans like shiny things and profits, so we’ll probably spread around for a few years stripping planets for resources until we build a Dyson sphere around a brown dwarf, put ourselves into a stasis controlled by an AI that makes us feel time 100000000x slower but experience things in our own personal virtual reality worlds where we can do anything or create anything just by thinking about it.

>it's the journey, not the destination

You could say the same thing about your own life, and if you did, I doubt you face each day with a smile on your face. Hell, its probably rare for you to even feel a glimmer of happiness or contentment with the life you have.

But how does that get around the hard limit on the time left in the universe?
>It will be so much time, we don't even have to think about that now.
Yes. Yes, we do. Every person alive thinks they don't care if they even live to see old age. But when they reach old age, invariably they all want more time. This is the same thing, just on a grander scale.

You make a good point. There is no point to getting up in the morning, no matter what you happen to do in life, if you don't believe that somehow your efforts, in the tiniest of ways, will result in the ultimate salvation of mankind. We must live by our curiosity.
