If this fact makes you uneasy just know that (nearly) 100% of the galaxy's solar systems except the one we're currently in are (likely) unreachable within your lifetime.

Though to be fair, I think the original title can't possibly know this, for instance if we live in a simulation, what's to say that some sort of algorithm (assuming we learn to meta-code our own existence) could put us in any galaxy we choose... Or warp drives, worm holes... light speed travel hardly seems worth the trouble, and unfeasable.. but if we can master warp drives, and bending space around us... then is there a limit on max speeds? If we can actually reprogram the universe would there be anything we couldn't do? have any other alien civilizations realized that at all?
