RE: The dangers of interstellar travel
Well this article was a decent read right up to the fuel point where we went into discussing a theoretical fuel that doesn't exist for us currently, known as antimatter. Antimatter has only been theorized currently and has not been found or proven to even actually exist at this point in time. Its purely a fuel used in science fiction shows and nothing else. So while you had some interesting points, they were all overshadowed by your lack of knowledge of what is actually real. Just assuming that antimatter is actually real and that we have it when discussing current concerns of space travel is just a bad idea since we don't know it for a fact if it can actually exist, or what would really happen with it if it did exist. I mean your assuming it exists and could be handled when infact if it does exist it may not even be possible to handle it, or it may not be nearly as volatile as people expect in which case it could be a very poor energy producer.
In fact I'm going to make a post about it right now thanks for the idea
we have proven and studied it

Yea sorry we have proven it, but we still have not been able to study it enough to actually know things for a fact, we are mainly theorizing stuff since we have never been able to attempt a reactor with it or anything of that nature. In fact we have never managed to study it for more than anything but a few fractions of a second.
actually we have had atoms of it last for literally a thousand seconds. A fraction of a second is also a long time for this area of physics.
Yes a fraction of a second is a long time, but it also leaves a lot we would be theorizing based on the brief observations. Either way we still haven't managed to actually do anything with it of this nature in general. We are a considerable way out from being able to consider any game changing real world applications with antimatter.
