The universe is too big. The stars too far apart for any kind of travel to be possible. We have proved that it is impossible to go faster than light and even if we did get close to it, it would take years just to get to the nearest star. The energy needed to go even 1/4 the speed of light too tremendous, with energy needed to go at the speed of light infinite.

So what does this mean for us? We, in our present form, wont make it. Our bodies simply wont last. Which brings us to the most logical step: change our bodies. Change into machines. And if we can improve our organic bodies into superior machines, then whats to stop our minds from being improved into software and algorithms, improving our thought processes exponentially? And when all is said and done, will we cease to be human?

As we crawl out into space ever so slowly, we will realize that we can triumph over our earth-bound genetics through technology. And it is through technology, not natural organic evolution, that we will evolve. Technology will allow humanity to evolve in leaps and bounds and eventually, we will even conquer our greatest enemy: mortality.

If the day comes when we ever truly venture out into the stars of this vast cosmos, it wont be as humans, but as machines.
>>mark my words /sci/ you heard it here first. Not that any of us would be alive by then to confirm it.

I really don't give a shit if we don't live forever.

Deal with it.

>implying we every truly die

there has to be something after death, or at least i like to tell myself that....not that i believe in "god" or am religious

>>humanity will never meet other alien lifeforms, because by the time we make first contact with other alien civilizations in some distant solar system somewhere, we will be machines.

NO, JUST FUCKING NO!
It only takes 3.6 years to travel to our nearest star (other then the sun) and 28 years to travel to the andromeda galaxy at sublight speeds (from the perspective of someone in the rocket).

LEARN PHYSICS, instead of just making bullshit up!

If you are <30 years old its pretty likely you will live(because of advancements in medicine) till the machines rise, and then become a machine, and then live forever.

Futurist conjecture is fairly useless, other than getting the public excited about science. We need realistic, immediate technologies that provide a benefit to consumers and humanity as a whole.

God I fucking hate that site. It makes me depressed but I still can't help reading it.
