Yes Josh BB I do realise that stars are light years away, but I don't see what relevance that has with the subject? I only used the light from dead stars as a kind of analogy and never mentioned reaching any stars.

In any case - as Livia pointed out - interstellar flight is only an impossibility now, because of our lack of adequate technological knowledge, but that could all change with each new breakthrough in science.

I just wish it was in my lifetime but that possibility's remote.
