Exactly. The technology to spaceflight is not far off, it is underfunded. We will travel faster than the speed of light, I promise everyone that. There is nothing that humanity has accomplished without time and effort.

Stephen Hawking said that alien life exists and is hostile.
Not a pleasant thought.
I'd probably be pretty hostile too if I came from somewhere else and met humanity.

Just FYI the comment in the last slide isn't really that big of a mystery. The Universe was not as expanded billions of years ago (when that large Galaxy was imaged) and it's reasonable to assume that Dark Matter was able to congregate much more easily.

Your post made me think of Carl Sagan. Now I want to rewatch "Cosmos".
"There are some hundred billion galaxies, each with, on the average, a hundred billion stars, 1011 x 1011 = 1022, ten billion trillion. In the face of such overpowering numbers, what is the likelihood that only one ordinary star, the Sun, is accompanied by an inhabited planet? Why should we, tucked away in some forgotten corner of the Cosmos, be so fortunate? To me, it seems far more likely that the universe is brimming over with life. But we humans do not yet know. We are just beginning our explorations. From eight billion light-years away we are hard pressed to find even the cluster in which our Milky Way Galaxy is embedded, much less the Sun or the Earth. The only planet we are sure is inhabited is a tiny speck of rock and metal, shining feebly by reflected sunlight, and at this distance utterly lost. "
Carl Sagan was a legend, I love that man...

I agree, the existence of alien life is probable. Ever heard about Drake's equation?

Well the default variables in the Drake's equation estimate about 1000 intelligent alien species all with the means and desire to communicate.

I don;t know if FTL speed is possible cuz the law of physics says we just can't which is proven in Sweden or Switserland. Maybe in de future we can. But for being able to fly at FTL speed you need an unlimited source of energy. Any ideas what we can use for that?

Scientists are discovering exoplanets constantly. Out of so many solar systems in this galaxy, ours can't possibly be the only one to have life. We're not even 100% sure yet that Earth is the only place in our own solar system to have life- Europa And Enceladus are possible candidates for life. It's neat to think about.
All these worlds are yours, except Europa. Attempt no landing there.

Within 100,000 years after that, nature will have almost completely erased our presence. Considering the age of the galaxy, mankind's existence will have been but a blink of the cosmic eye.

The current laws of physics. Our scientific understanding has been turned upside-down more than once in human history. I very much doubt that it won't happen again.
