Hey, you. Yeah, you. You ready to be let down?
Current scientists have been saying that Proxima b, the exoplanet orbiting the nearest red dwarf to our Sun Proxima Centauri, may actually be able to maintain life and a comfortable climate after all. Why is that a let down? Proxima Centauri is about 4.37 light years away from Earth, which equates to over 36 trillion miles.
It would take us about 81,000 years to reach Proxima Centauri as of now, and current models suggest we will never be able to reach the speed of light.
You've just been let down.
