But it’s doesn’t and it won’t.

What do you mean it doesn't and it won't?

Alpha Centauri will be at it's closest to the Sun in 26'000 years time, give or take. It then starts moving away from the Sun, in pretty much the same shape orbit (and time frame) as it moved towards the Sun. Therefore, if it moved one light year closer to the Sun in 26'000 years, it will move away at the same rate.

In fact, in as little as 55'000 years, it will be just as far away as it is today.

how do you know we wont live for 70,000 years in the future. Look at us now. Plenty of 100 year olds as the norm nowadays

You would need some pension pot....but yes it could definitely happen

6000 years ago the fastest thing known to man was the virgins they flung off the cliff at 10m/s/s as tribute to the sun god Ra. In the last 600 years man has managed to go 1000 times faster. According to Nosenout’s first law of boll@x that development stops now. Man shall not create a vessel faster than he did in the 1970s.

Our speed line chart grew steeply in not so recent, previous decades. The last few decades it has been as flat as a pancake and will likely remain flat for a long time.

Explain please.

We've had a good run out of Moore's Law.

The other day, I read an article which said it will likely no longer hold true in as little as ten years.

Not if there is no monetary system and everything was done on credits?

Not really very relevant to the development of better propulsion. It’s like arguing we’ve made valves as small as possible, so mobile computers are a pipe dream.

Your maths is out from the start. You’ve been told a dozen times.

Parker probe is more than 10 x faster than voyager 1. So that’s 10 x in under 50 years.

But entirely relevant in the context of this post of yours....

Previous (rate of) progress is not necessarily indicative of future progress.

 

[Brigadier]

Add your post #1030 as another example.

One is plummeting towards a star (that it started off effectively next to) . The other : propelled away from one.

So, utterly irrelevant to the point (the feasibility of humans being interstellar - capable).

It’s about chip density of single core processors. It was relevant 20 years ago. A bit like intel.

Not if we are talking human transport, no. I’m sure if you want to slam unmanned objects into strong gravitational objects, it’s great fun.
