Interstellar Travel Will Be Possible By The Year 2150.
In about the next 150 years, will it be possible to travel between star systems in a reasonable amount of time? From hear to the nearest star(Proxima Centari) should take about 9 days.

Who knows for sure? No-one, and because of that it is impossible to say otherwise. Before we built planes people said it was impossible to fly. Well we proved them wrong. Then "it's impossible to go into outer space." Once again, wrong. With our current technology it is not impossible but highly improbable. But as well know technology advances and who knows, some day we may be scouting for a new planet to live on.

If it’s possible at all it’s possible now, but I guess you are referring to whether we will have the technical capability to do so. I would concede that if it is possible to travel FTL and our civilization holds together that long then probably. However I doubt any propulsion system will allow FTL. However quantum mechanics suggest certain field and particles propagate faster than the speed of light. If those could be induced to carry information then it could be feasible to send the data to replicate a person in the equivalent of no time. The functions of time get pretty mathematically sticky at this point but we still have a lot to figure out so who knows.

Perhaps it will, but then again, how do we know?

Yes, theoretically it should be possible. We'll just have to wait until then in that case...oh no wait, i thought that by then humanity will have already died out Ryan!

 Perhaps it is the discovery of interstellar travel that would wipe out humanity?

Anything can happen. I hope this comes true!

Recently, we have invented an ion propulsion system to be used in space ships. I am sure that this breakthrough could well be achieved within 100 years time.
