So I was day dreaming and I caught a thought. What if what we understand about physics is actually all there is to understand? What if you objectively cannot move faster than the speed of light because you can’t do the time traveling things necessary. This would mean that the only way to travel amongst the stars would be to extend our lives so that a 5000 year trip at the speed of light would represent like 10% of our lifespans. Travel would be attainable but like the way it was when we were sailing ships to the new world.
That’s just one practical solution I could think of to stellar travel. Does anyone else have a practical idea?
Read the “How It Unfolds” short story by James S. A. Corey, it is identical to your ideas.

Oh man I love “The Expanse” series, but had no idea that James S.A. Corey was 2 people!
So glad to know. Not sure what to do with that info though.
I just bought the entire series, finally something good to read!
