Think of time like a sheet of paper, point A on one side point B on the other. Say 100 light years apart. The theory is that it can be bent like folding the paper in half so they are next to each other. As I said it's all theory.

Without solving this problem there would big problems taking fuel, food, water and air enough to sustain humans.

Then gravity. The human body wasn't built for gravity and prolonged exposure to weightlessness is not good for us and will run down the body. Even in suspended animation.

We need to solve the problems we have living here first. Not try to find somewhere else to fuck up.
