    The intelligence doesn’t matter. The point is what is physically possible.

    Even if we were hyperintelligent in the same scale as making current ants intelligent enough to build ships to ride the world around in, we’d still have to face the issue of the speed of light being a limiting factor.

    Unless we actually manage to find some of those theorised strange particles which would fit with the math of the warp engine theory.

      Alright, valid, you’re right, the presented limiting factor in the meme is in fact the SoL and not actually man’s ability to reach it. I concede, cheers.
