The stars are only far away if we remain a planet-bound species

10,000 light years away! Impossible, says the scientists. Not so, says one lone genius on an incel forum. For time is relative, and with great speed the 10,000 may be reduced to but a year for the occupants on board. Yea, says the scientists, but we upon Earth would not know of their journey or findings, for the information would take 10,000 years to reach us! Thus enters the great world-changing thesis of the incel: should humanity build a grand spaceship akin to Earth and choose to live within it, then we may all journey as one entity, and whip across the galaxies, discovering all the universe has to know. Thus did a lone incel solve the great constraint, and released humanity into the stars.

I don't think you truly fathom the distance that is a light year. The light years can never be traversed unless humans find a way to utilize the worm holes in the universe
