Could you imagine spending the better part of 100'000 years travelling to Earth then keeping quite about it.

They'll only become greater/longer.
Just wait until the Andromeda galaxy comes crashing through. We might have a nice close approach.
It's not just the tech though is it. The distances will be impossible no mater what tech we throw at it. Physics, human endurance and the limits of energy we have here on Earth mean that theses enormous distances will remain unconquered.
MBK thinks that's funny for some reason.

But you have no way of knowing this
I heard a podcast about such things and, iirc, both the milky way and andromeda galaxies are so "empty" on the grand scheme, there won't be much likelihood of anything much actually colliding.....
.... at least, not at the first encounter.
Interstellar distances truly are astronomical.
Yeah, we know. There is no way humans will be able to travel for 50'000+ years non stop. The Earth does not have the resources to propel humans any faster.
And not a single one of them get it.

Of course the distances are changing. You are aware our solar system is also in orbit?

Google Sagittarius A* and learn something.
That sounds right. Every time I think about space and distances I have to remind myself that they're so huge I'm underestimating them.
But I wasn't thinking of a collision, more a close pass a mere light year or two away.
That's not what I said is it.
The distances won't change significantly. Four light years +/- another million miles, is not going to affect things as far as we are concerned.
Such as?
