Now that we can’t fly out of the solar system, is it possible that we will become extinct in the solar system in the future?

Among the more than 100 billion stars in the Milky Way, the Sun is just an ordinary member. It is located near the symmetry plane of the Milky Way, about 26,000 light-years from the center of the Milky Way, and about 26 light-years north of the galactic plane. , on the one hand, it rotates around the center of the Milky Way at a speed of 250 kilometers per second, and on the other hand, it moves toward the vicinity of Vega at a speed of 19.7 kilometers per second relative to the surrounding stars.

Our current technology It is now obvious to see how high the level is. It is already a remarkable achievement to be able to use a detector to fly out of the earth and detect the planets in the solar system (solar system).

The farthest man-made probe currently is Voyager 1, an unmanned outer solar system space probe developed by NASA. It has been 40 years since its launch. for many years. At present, it has entered the outermost boundary of the solar system, between the solar influence range and the interstellar medium, and is about to travel into interstellar space.

With the development of science and technology today, it has even been discovered that there is a "habitable planet" 4 light-years away.

This makes mankind very excited. It seems that "interstellar immigrants" are within reach, but the fastest aircraft of mankind so far is also It's just "supersonic" rather than "superlight"

Assuming that with the current level of human science and technology, we want to carry out interstellar migration and reach the nearest "habitable planet" that has been discovered at the fastest speed, then it will be almost It takes a hundred years to arrive

It takes almost a person's entire life. Before food supply and biological hibernation technology are not solved, it is impossible for humans to complete this dream, but the earth may not leave enough time for humans to wait. Time, the development process of global warming is only a few decades

And more unknown natural disasters are also breaking out frequently. No one knows when a devastating disaster that can wipe out human civilization will happen. It will suddenly erupt without warning. Putting aside the unknown, just talking about the known ones, the last "ice age" is already very far away

Humanity is now on the edge of the next ice age. Time belt, that is to say, today's human beings are in an era of competition between technology and time. If we outperform, human beings can continue to develop. If we outperform, they will be annihilated in the long river of history at any time.

Many people believe that we are in the universe. We are not alone here. There must be intelligent beings like us in some corner of space. It’s just that we are very strange. Why don’t they contact us and communicate with us? In fact, this is easy to understand.

Just like human beings evolving from beasts to intelligent life, it is a coincidence of nature. Other intelligent life forms in the universe also want to break away from their home planet just like humans, and they are all looking for that planet. The "coincidence" that breaks the confinement

Intelligent life that does not have a "habitable planet" close enough to its parent star or a "space tunnel" that has not been discovered can only be eliminated by the history of the development of the universe. The same goes for the earth. Hope is already "within reach", but "so far away", too much unpredictability can make it difficult for humans to live on the earth forever. The unlimited increase in human population determines that the earth's resources will be overwhelmed within a hundred years, and the next glacier will The arrival of this period has determined that mankind must complete its complete departure from the earth within a thousand years
