>tmw the universe's expansion is expected to accelerate more until the universe is expanding faster than the speed of light so you'll NEVER get to explore the whole universe.

How does that make you feel anon? You'll never get to travel to the edge of the universe. Feels fucking bad man

There's literally no way to break the light barrier with breaking physics. AS IT STANDS, there's no way to reach the edge of the universe. Sure that could change tomorrow but i'm highly doubtful some newfangled FTL travel method will be discovered in the 21st century

we have AT LEAST another couple hundred thousand years of humanity just dinking around in our own solar system and more importantly, you WERE born just in time to get in on that.

Expanding universe doesn't change much. If you consider the current universe to be static the furthest galaxy is nearly 40 billions ly aways from us. Good luck trying to reach it.

I'm hopeful that the political atmosphere will change so we can focus more on expansion into space.

If all the world governments stopped arguing like a bunch of spergs we could've had a colony ship on its way to Proxima B by now.

I'm hopeful that at some point in the near future, that we'll be focused on space colonization as a species.

I don't really care, our galaxy alone is so big that it's hard for human to comprehend and that it's unlikely we will ever fully explore it. Besides it's just the same stuff elsewhere. You will never experience everything on earth either, you are always going to miss stuff no matter what you do

you're just spouting big numbers to pretend to be smart
Human civilization is 12000 years old, while space flight is only 60 years old, and we're about to set foot on Mars
considering that rate of progress, we're going to be out of this solar system before the century is up

We already know what such a theory can and can't do and FTL is strictly off the table. In fact FTL would be equivalent to a lot of things which we know are off the table, such as time-traveling, hypercomputation, etc.

How could FTL even work? Have faith anon, we will build those galaxy-spanning empires.

In virtual realities, indistinguishable from reality to your human brain. They will be, for all intents and purposes, exactly like the real world for you.

OP, after Aubrey de Gray grants unlimited regenerations to all humans, you won't mind taking 40 years or whatever to travel to the next star system. You only need FTL if you don't live long. Scraping the barrel of speculative physics for FTL is like poor people scrounging in the newspaper for coupons.

Horseshit. All the redshift values are quantized into fractions of 72km/s, and some galaxies have even been found to have two distinct redshifts, one for the arms and one for the space in between. If the redshift was a Doppler effect brought about by magic expansion energy the distribution of the shifts would be smooth.

Under our current understanding of physics that is totally impossible because FTL travel = travel faster than the speed of causality = time travel. Time travel, we're pretty sure, is impossible, as we know of no mechanisms by which it can be done or evidence that it is possible. Time travel is only possible if the thing your are transmitting carries no information, and unfortunately, humans consitute information.

You have it backwards. It's not the political atmosphere that's blocking space travel. If we had cheap, more advanced relevant tech, the politics would pretty quickly change towards facilitating space exploration.

How is it time travel though? The time remains the same, merely the location changes, a FTL ship isn't actually going forward or backwards in time.
