There is no point in using a telescope to look at Proxima Centauri. Scientists tried to get me to look at it once I refused. I said send me to it in a Spaceship so I can get a good look.
With current technology, reaching Proxima Centauri, which is 4.2 light-years away, would take over 70,000 years, even with the fastest spacecraft.
People once assumed the body was regulated by four humors, the earth was the center of the universe, human flight was impossible, and disease was caused by bad air.
Current scientific understanding says we can travel faster than light, but why do we think this is end point of scientific discovery?
