OT:
"the limitations on interstellar travel are imposed by the laws of nature. no matter how far advanced a civilization may be technologically, the laws of nature are immutable."

Which is to say that:
1) Max velocity of a space craft is the speed of light in a vacuum. {Planck circ 1923}
2) EVERY elctro-dynamic effect has a gravitational effect. {Hermann Weyl 1920)
3) Black holes exist, maybe wormhole do too {Hawkings, 1989}

So maybe, a controlled E-M dynamic field can create a static gravitational field. And if it can, then FAST multi-g's space travel is possible. Hitting atomic particles in space can be mitigated by many technologies now. Hitting the larger particles, may be handled in the future. To travel from here, 2.5Billion light years away only requires a flywheel style wormhole of a few feet.

PS: if it's possible to get from here to there, then you have to assume that they got from there to here. And may still be here.

PPS: I've been here 35 years!
PPSS: Science has not had anything new added since 1921 {relativity} All else is only refinments. Even quantum mechanics is just a slightly diverse form.

Suggested word search: Lene Hau, "controlling the speed of light"
