I wish we weren't confined to our local group. Imagine being able to go faster than light and explore all the planets with unique wonders like this. Even if we only found deadly flora, it would still be beautiful.
How many galaxies have the equivalent of fungus? All of them?
The most provocative answer is "one." But for us, it will always be true.
- MichaelApproved 9y agoWe are more confined than to The Local Group[1]. Andromeda, the closest galaxy to us is in The Local Group and is 2.5 million light years away. We are confined to our galaxy. In fact, we are confined to a small region of our galaxy. It's 100,000 light years wide. Without faster than light travel, very little is accessible to us. [1] "The Local Group" is the name of a cluster of galaxies which are gravitationally bound to each other. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is in that cluster. When all other galaxies drift away from us in billions of years, the local group will be the only thing visible to us.
