My hypothesis has always been, hey, have enough kids out there, and sooner or later, they'll learn enough about the physical sciences to at least explore far away worlds. (If not go there in person.)
But yeah, expecting we can get there with what we currently know is a bit naive. We need to, <gasp>, horror of horrors, fund more research.
We just need to find where The Ancients buried the Stargate on Earth. Let's gooo!
Is there any plausible way for a human to ever reach one given what we know about physics at the present?
Generation ships with plasma sails, probably.
And what happens when they encounter a GRB?
Interstellar travel is not a propulsion problem. It's a space travel problem. The medium itself, is the vast majority of the problem.
>given what we know about physics at the present?
No.
