“I suspect that there is a way to travel faster than light (hyperspace jumps, wormholes slipstream, wormholes, warpdrives, etc).”

I don’t think any of that will happen. Just sci-fi imagination. At high speeds running into even a speck of dust will destroy the craft. I don’t think humans will EVER travel at speeds even close to the speed of light. They won’t need to. A civilization capable of such high technology will be able to terraform and adapt the solar system into whatever’s needed. Much easier and less costly to stay within our star system.

Let’s agree to disagree. Wormhole travel doesn’t require high-speed (warping time and space). Sci-Fi imagination is a reality now. Just think about how your grandparents’ grandparents would view today’s technology. And that is a mere 100 or so years ago. No communication, horse travel.

Now imagine our technology (if we don’t kill ourselves) a thousand years from now. In fact you can’t, it’s impossible. No one at this point and time can conceive what the future holds as far scientific knowledge. Technological advancements in all fields are being cubed, advancing at faster, and faster rates.
