The newly discovered super earth is heading for the earth at a speed of 500 thousand kilometers per hour. Can humans move there?

As early as the 1970s, scientists proved with strong evidence that Ophiuchus had a "super earth", which was 6 light years away from us. This super earth is an icy planet, and its mass is a little more than three times that of the earth. More interestingly, this planet is heading for the earth at a speed of 500,000 kilometers per hour.

Then someone wants to ask: "Can humans move to that planet?" The home star of this planet is a red dwarf star, and its brightness is only 3% of that of the sun. Scientists estimate that the age of this star has exceeded 65.438+0 billion years, and now it has reached the end of its life. The planet's running cycle is 233 days, and it has attracted wide attention of scientists because it is heading for the earth at a speed of 500,000 kilometers. In other words, after about 1 10,000 years, its distance from the earth will be shortened to 3.8 light years, and it will become the closest exoplanet to the earth.

But now it is far from moving to that planet. Although it is six light years, it is a far distance that humans dare not think about now. Before solving the technology of interstellar flight, human beings will die of exhaustion on the way to this planet. Voyager 1, the farthest flying aircraft made by human beings, has not flown out of the solar system for more than 40 years. At the current speed, it will take tens of thousands of years to fly to places 6 light years away, let alone manned flight.

So is this planet suitable for human survival? The data show that its star is about twice the age of the sun, its brightness is only 3% of that of the sun, and its mass is only 1/6 of that of the sun. Therefore, the "super earth" will be very close to its parent star, and the distance from the parent star is about 0.4 astronomical units, which is equivalent to the distance between mercury and the sun in the solar system. But even so close, because its star is dim, it is "super".

Such a world of ice and snow is totally unsuitable for human survival. What are the needs of immigrants? Not to mention the possibility of life on it. Although it is only 3.8 light-years away from the earth after 10,000 years, human technology was different at that time, and it may have traveled to the Milky Way long ago. Then I don't think it's necessary to go to this planet, let alone consider immigration.
