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.
Uh huu well im not sure but thats probably why i said If they were within a few hundred light years from us like 100-400 LY. of course not if they were sevral thousand light years away.

and as to the second point i can change the laws of phisycs however i want i just choose not to, also i prefer catwoman.
Do you know why I used that as an example? Because last year a paper was published that theorized an Earth-like planet was possibly found at that distance. Do you really think we haven't checked the space that near? There probably isn't even a solar system at that distance.

Seriously, stop talking. You're not making yourself seem smarter. >_>
There is lot of that we cant or havent seen within a 1000 ly spere of earth. Im not saying there is any thing out there im sayin that its not impossible. And there could very well be a nother speciecs out ther similar to us but 100 technological yeas behind and we would never no it and just because we need certain things to live dosent mean they do. there could be another kind of people that thrive in entiraly difrent conditions.
Also there was one theory that if you used humans as the model an andvanced species would eventualy require all of the suns power to support its self. There for they would build a sort of shell like structure around their star that would absorb most of the energy thus we woul be hard pressed to even see that star with out metods. I will admitt that is a little far fechetd. and like a said before they could be thousands of times more advanced than us. there is no way in hell that we would even be able to comprehend the modes of travel they could have very well invented.
