Interstellar Travel
Interstellar travel refers to the hypothetical ability to travel between stars or planetary systems within a galaxy. It involves overcoming vast distances, as the nearest star system, Alpha Centauri, is approximately 4.37 light-years away from Earth. Current technology limits human space travel to within our solar system, but theoretical concepts such as warp drives, wormholes, and generation ships have been proposed. Interstellar travel poses significant challenges, including energy requirements, time dilation, and the effects of long-duration spaceflight on human health. Research in this field continues to inspire scientific inquiry and exploration.
