We Will Never Be able to Leave The Solar System And I'll Explain Why

At the beginning of the 24th century, humanity left Earth for the stars. The extensive ecological and climatic devastation that had characterized the last 300 years had completely consumed our planet, turning it into a barren and inhospitable world. The rapid melting of ice had caused the seas to rise, leading to the disappearance of entire cities and coastal regions. Deforestation had brought about impoverishment, destruction, and the loss of human and animal lives. Meanwhile, we continued to burn fossil fuels, knowing that they were poisoning us, gradually transforming our world into one less suitable for our survival.
In the meantime, a small fraction of us looked to the stars in search of a place to start anew. But where? What were our chances of finding a planet so similar to Earth that it could welcome and protect humanity from the chaos it had created? Powerful telescopes were then constructed, and hundreds of Earth-like twins were quickly discovered orbiting distant stars. After all, our home wasn't that unique. The universe was full of Earths!
Hundreds of spacecraft, each as large as the ancient transatlantic ships, left the planet, some headed towards the Alpha Centauri system, others to even more distant stars. Despite traveling at relativistic speeds, propelled by warp engines, the journey would last centuries, and only the descendants of the departing would perhaps see the promised land...
Okay... evocative, isn't it? But how realistic could this scenario be? Certainly, once we consider all our current technological advancements, there is a strong temptation to believe that we are approaching an era (more or less distant) of interstellar exploration.
But do you really think we will one day leave Earth and all our concerns behind, or that we will begin to roam the entire galaxy, colonizing, and trading?
No... we firmly believe not, and with this video, we are here to reiterate and demonstrate just that... that we humans will never travel beyond the boundaries of our solar system. Follow us, and we'll explain!

If the earth were microscopic and the sun was the size of a period at the end of a sentence, it would be one inch to the sun, the nearest star would be 4.3 miles away, but the nearest galaxy would be 2, 500, 000 miles away! Even putting dimensions on a microscopic scale the distances soon become astronomical.

[josephcler]

No matter how we screwed up the Earth it would always be easier to repair it than to go try to terarform another planet.

[renesoucy]

We’re in a unbelievable Starship with a Sun to go around the Galaxy! Set up for Life!

[John-znlp]

We're going to have to learn to survive here first, before trying to survive somewhere else in the universe.

[thorfinsky]

200 years ago the thought of flying above the clouds faster than the speed of sound would have been laughable.

When the question of "Why haven't aliens visited us?" the answer would be: if a civilization ever reached a level of intelligence to be able to overcome the issues brought up in this video, they would be smart enough to realize what a tremendous waste of time and resources it would be.

YouTube has to seriously start cracking down on these channels that use filler to pad out what is essentially 5 minutes worth of information.

[strivingacres]

The technology we will have available in one or two hundred years would seem like magic today. Instead of saying "we can't", I say "We can't right now..."

[Jmfnt]

On the cosmic scale, humanity is still in its infancy, and infants have limited awareness of their capabilities.

[johnfox]

Our population will peak this century and will then decline. We probably will NEVER reach even the closest stars. Technological and psychological problems will render it all but impossible.

[patrowan]

The only statement in this video that rings absolutely true is the one at the end: "we cannot even imagine!"

[mobilegameplaywalkthroughs]

Certain theories in physics suggest that the universe has more spacial dimensions that we currently have access to. If we learn how to access additional dimensions, it becomes trivial to connect two spacial points of a lower dimension. Imagine an ant walking along a string. It's basically a one dimensional world, forwards or backwards along the string. But a 3 dimensional creature, like us, can easily loop the string in any way we want, allowing the ant to "teleport" from any point on the string to any other point we choose with just a few short ant steps. And this works regardless of the length of the string. It isn't very hard for us to imagine how a very intelligent ant species could figure that out somehow and come up with a way of forcing an otherwise straight string to bend and loop across itself... so is it so hard to imagine that we could figure out a 4th or 5th dimensional solution for our 3 dimensional situation too?

BTW: The video's entire argument is based on Einsteinian physics, which, like Newtonian physics, is known to be a very good guess and very useful for a lot of applications, but not 100% correct.

[John-tcgp]

Without a paradigm shift in theoretical physics and engineering, we're pretty much stuck on Earth.

[buddyjenkins]

These arguments make it highly unlikely that any species has visited us as well.

[valdir]

Humanity can't even agree on taking steps toward its own survival even when we know what to do, imagine tackling interstellar travel

[hiddenfromhistory]

And early in the 1800's "experts" in England declared that people could never travel on railways because the human body could not withstand the force of moving at thirty miles per hour!

[ricgillingham]

It's crazy to think the speed of light is still to slow for intergalactic travel lol 😅

[kuwinsitall]

People watch too much Star Trek and sci-fi and think we'll just be able to zip around the galaxy. The distance to just the next star is mind-boggling by itself.

[Wesley-wgqi]

Why is so hard for some people to understand space travel is about expanding, not about fleeing or abandoning earth?
