Humans may never be able to fly out of the solar system
Voyager 1 is currently the farthest unmanned space probe ever built by humans, and its speed is 17062 kilometers per second, which is the third cosmic velocity.
After nearly 47 years of flying, it is now located in the heliosphere at a distance of 24 billion kilometers from the earth, which is only equivalent to about 22 light hours, which is less than the distance of a day's light, which also reveals the terrible fact that humans may never be able to fly out of the solar system.
The Sun is an ordinary member of the 2,000-400 billion stars in the Milky Way, the solar system includes eight planets of the Sun, nearly 500 moons, and at least 1.2 million asteroids, dwarf planets and comets, bounded by the Oort cloud, the diameter of the solar system may be 200,000 astronomical units, about 32 light years, the radius is 16 light years.
An astronomical unit is that the distance between the Sun and the Earth is about 1500 million kilometers, the relative velocity of Voyager 1 is 17062 kilometers per second, about 61,452 kilometers per hour, flying about 3,599 astronomical units per year, after simple calculations, a light year is about 63,241 astronomical units, and the radius of the solar system is about 16 light-years, we can see that it took about 28,115 years for Voyager 1 to fly out of the solar system.
However, Voyager 1 will run out of power in 2025, completely lose contact, and become a space wanderer, continuing to run out of power at 17The speed of 062 kilometers per second, wandering forever, if it is not intercepted or captured during the period, it will arrive at Proxima Centauri in at least 50,000 years, that is, the home of the Trisolaran in the Trisoran.
The recorded history of mankind is only more than 5,000 years, so 28,000 years is indeed a long time from the perspective of human history.
Judging from the current state of human death, it is still unknown whether it can last so long, less than 300 years since the Industrial Revolution, science and technology have developed rapidly, and human beings have enjoyed the convenience of science and technology, and they have also created the ** that destroys themselves.
On January 23, 2024, the apocalypse was pushed forward by 10 seconds again, and there were only 90 seconds left before midnight, which symbolized the end of the world, showing that humanity is on the verge of extinction and the threat of nuclear war is very close.
In the past few decades, humanity has finally had the opportunity to explore space, and perhaps one day in the future, humans will build faster-than-light spaceships such as curvature engines, or master space jumping technology to make interstellar travel possible, but only if humans don't play themselves to death until then.
