Have we reached the peak of modern civilization?

The laws of thermodynamics prevents us from making super efficient engines to travel to space cheaply enough to make it profitable for commercial exploration.

We're still using rocket technology made by Nazis in the 1940s which has a 50% chance of exploding before even lift off.

The laws of physics has a speed of light limit which prevents us from exploring most of our own galaxy, let alone the universe.

The laws of quantum mechanics and Heisenberg principle prevents us from harnessing the unlimited potential of the vacuum energy.

So besides the advances in how to make electrons go a bit faster in apps and computers every year and cut thousands of jobs in the process by automating everything, has civilization reached a technological stagnation point?

Wrong. You age less if you travel at close to c velocities

Is there one manic depressive making all of these doomsayer threads or several?

We went from feudalism to television, rockets, and computers in less than 10 generations.

Chill the fuck out. We're going as fast as we can.

Patience
We have AI coming up, there are breakthroughs all the time, its just not in the news because society is full of degenerates.
There is so much we don't know.
IMO i feel like we are focusing on things that are too big like the colonisation of outer space (mars in particular).
What did you expect, afterall everything we know now has been found out in the past 200 years or so for the most part, so its no secret that we are currently in a neutral time without anything major.
But we have a few things coming up, like AI.

But won't everyone you know on Earth age and die long before you return back?

>wanting to return
You can also take anyone you want with you if it matters so much

>50% chance of exploding before even lift off.
Hwhat?

muslims are everywhere

No... you age the same. But relative to people on Earth you age less.

Unless you're talking about actually travelling AT c, which is impossible.

Either it explodes or it doesn't , 50/50.
