The International Haldron Collider and ITER, where India is partner, are experiments that may lead to new technology. Maybe new form of transportation can be invented to travel far and fast using newer spacecrafts and perhaps travel through wormholes. Even nuclear matter-energy conversion science seemed magic, (first pondered by Indian scientists). Possibly there are other ways to travel. How else did the Yogi's of ancient India travel to distant galaxies?

Reading too much science fiction it seems!! Worm hole is not proven to exists, its just one of those theories on bordering science fiction. Yogi traveling distant galaxies?? what a joke!! If matter travels faster than light it will be converted in to energy is a scientific fact. Neither using accelerator or nuclear energy space craft can travel faster than speed of light. FYI speed of light itself is too slow to cover vast distances between galaxies. Star referred in this article will take 150 yrs to reach. Wake up to reality.

FYI scientists have discovered particles that travel at 10x speed of light, proving earlier theories wrong. Additionally, there are forms of energy other than light, that can travel in other ways than simple physical dimensions, making distance and time less relevant. Still you're correct, most of these idea's are still bordering on science fiction, and perhaps will not happen in our lifetimes if at all. Yogi's travel would have been in a parallel dimension "shortcut" but that would again be something our present day minds are too feeble to understand.
We are spoiling our own planet and do not wish to sacrifice the comforts to save it. We produce more cars, burn more fossil fule, raise more live stocks to eat meat and do not want to reduce the consumptions. We are killing the diversified life and eco system. We are leaving 1/2 dead planet to the coming generations. This is the modern civilizations pride. The pride that can be boasted by all scientific developments.
We are now searching for life on other planets that is beyond our reach. What a waste of time?
The modern civilization (un-cultured and un-ethical) doesn't even try to understand what is the purpose of life and trying to find any life outside solar system. WHAT TO SAY ABOUT THIS FINDING?
Its good to know what exists in far away, however search for E.T. life is waste of time. Nearest start is 4 light years away. No one in their life time can reach there. There is no way to achieve near light speed for solid space craft. Even quarter of the speed of light is unachievable without vaporizing spacecraft. Because even though space is all vacuum, it contains lots of molecules besides small size particles to small rocks that cannot be detected in time before being hit. At speed such as quarter of light such impact on course will be destructive for any spacecraft. Solar system is already on outer arm of spiral milkyway, where there is a most chance of life's origin. Vast distances are simply unreachable by any means. Most nearby stars (30 light year radius) from solar system are Red Giants, with exception of Alpha Century binary. No rocky planet is found in Alpha Century system. Not even gas giant found there. For now it is safe to accept that we are most advanced form of life in 100 light year radius of solar system. Radio signals searching for ET is waste again as beyond 100 light year, Radio signals takes too long to reach and any advanced life form would have likely moved beyond radio signal technology.

Moon was unreachable a century ago. As human knowledge advances, distances shrink.

Speed of light or near by constant is a limit of physics and not subject to advances like ones happend century ago. And even with speed of light any near by rocky planet is almost hundrends of years away for light to travel. Fantasy belongs to fiction and reality is imposibility of travel to any rocky planet as a scientific limit.

Yes, my biggest worry is that we find a planet with life but with lower intelligence than us. Then we begin exploitation of that planet.

Stop worrying, we do not have means to travel there. Humans currently do not have practical means of traveling and returning back safely beyond mars.

Hello, it is a gas giants. Humans can only live on rocky planets. If you read carefully, this article mentions that planet is not habitable.

It's not a one year journey, planet is found orbiting start that is 150 light year away from where we are. At current condition it takes 5 years for rocket from Earth to travel to Mars. Where as light would take around 8 minutes to travel from earth to mars. Read properly before jumping the gun of 1 year travel.

no refueeling needed in space if you don't want to change direction or are able to avoid planets / stars........no friction no energy loss.....no refuelling needed.....
