The Problem With Space Travel That Better Rockets Can’t Fix

Nearly half a century of travel—and Voyager 1 has covered a distance that light crosses in roughly a day. The nearest star beyond our Sun is more than four light-years away. Why are the stars so difficult to reach? And could humanity ever overcome the barriers between them? This cinematic space documentary explores the enormous distances separating stars, the strange effects of Einstein’s relativity, and the possibilities—and problems—behind wormholes and warp drives. Discover how time changes for travellers approaching light speed, why quantum entanglement cannot send messages instantly, and what the mysteries of spacetime could mean for our future among the stars. From a lone spacecraft in interstellar space to the frontiers of quantum gravity, we explore what physics has established, what remains theoretical, and what we still do not understand. Will we ever reach another star—or will our messages travel farther than we do?
