Swiss astronomer Michel Mayor, who is winner of the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics, stated that humanity will never be able to leave the solar system and get to distant planets of other stellar systems. The scientist is sure that habitable planets are too far away.
According to the astronomer, even if the distant planet is livable and will be in a few dozen light years from our planet, then it will just fly to it impossible. Given the level of development of modern technology this the flight will last hundreds of millions of days. Therefore, the scientist believes, you just need to protect our home – the Earth, while it is still possible live.
The statement that humanity will be able to leave Earth and to move to other planets, the scientist considers insane. Perhaps in this can be agreed with him.
Throughout the entire (known to us) history of human existence guided by only one principle – “squeeze out all the resources and find new place. “Who knows, maybe for this reason the planets that find astronomers for humanity are simply unattainable. But it is already another question, more about the origin of mankind.
If the researchers hypothesis about the former life of mankind on Mars is true, it is likely that he has the resources and technologies can only be enough to “jump” from planet to planet inside the solar system. Fly out of the system rather of all, it doesn’t work, so the Swiss scientist insists on respect for your place of residence.
And the loud statements of some scientists about the search for others habitable planets only push humanity to be careless about the place of residence, and leads to exhaustion resources.
