And don't talk about things from Stargate. We don't know how wormholes work, because it's just a theory, and we don't even know if they can even exist.
It wouldent take longer for the traveler. they would be moving fast but They would slow down in time. They would age 1sec to every year in real tim. It would still be possible to visit places withing 100 or so light years and still return home, especialy if there species has extreme longevity. in that case things back home wouldent change that drasticly. to someone who lives 1000 earth years 1 year wouldent be very much at all to them. and 100 years would be about like 10 years to us.
It might not be long to them, but you're forgetting that the actual time flow isn't affected. They could travel 200.000 lightyears and maybe it's only 200 years to them, but that wouldn't meant that only 200 years went by for us. It would still take 200.000 years to get here, and the propobility that any sentient life exists when they arive, let alone detectable, would be infinitely slim.
You can't bend the laws of time and space to your liking just because you want to entertain the possiblity of getting freaky with some green lizardwoman.
