  • Far beyond our Moon and Mars and the other planets is our greater galaxy and its billions and billions of stars. And yet it is but a flyspeck compared to the enormity of the Universe beyond. Could we every voyage to these distant galaxies?

    Imagine moving a whole bunch of red dwarfs with your stellar engine of choice, and using them plus tons of relay stations to setup the ultimate laser highway between galactic regions. Very well might wind up with billions of people living at each "way station", acting as ports of call on the long trip between galaxies, as well as homes for those that want to live in a more "rural" environment.

    Congrats on the NSS presidency! I have some concerns about the aluminum intergalactic tunnel, durability wise. If any high speed dust damaged it, it could make an area of intergalactic space far more populated with particles than it would have been otherwise, right? I'm no expert, but it seems like the mass and complexity cost of cleaning and maintaining that system would outweigh the benefits compared to our usual laser highway systems.
    Also, just wanted to say how much I love watching a channel where we use phrases like "interstellar laser highway" on a regular basis:)

    With the potential of the future, I wonder if some civilization millions if not billions of the years in the future will build a, idk, gigastructure not around a star, but around an entire galaxy. I remember that the Nicoll-Dyson megastructure could move a star by reflecting the light in one direction. I wonder if this gigastructure could move an entire galaxy, therefore turning the intergalactic voyage from a "Go from Galaxy A to Galaxy B", to "Move Galaxy A to Galaxy B / Move Galaxy A and Galaxy B closer"
