What does the speed of light look like on earth?

    Hence why aliens have never visited Earth.

    You didn't learn anything from Star Trek I guess. There's this thing called warp speed. Up to warp 9 iirc.

    They had the mechanism technically wrong. It's not really speed. They were just warping the fabric of space to shorten the distance.

    You know there's some nutty trillionaire out there paying people to try and figure out how Star Trek did it.

    Worm holes

    I've spent countless minutes pondering wormholes. My problem is that I don't think there any way to know where they're going to take you before you hop in. I'm pretty sure warping spacetime is safer if not easier.

    Hell maybe they're the same thing. I'm not pretending to be Carl Sagan out here.
