Bonus question from me to science fiction writers:
I have been watching various videos by renowned physicists detailing in very understandable terms why we haven't and *won't meet aliens, and why interstellar travel isn't possible. I'll link to a couple at the end. My question for you, and for me, is can we write science fiction that abides by the laws of physics?

This shit absolutely infuriates me, because it proves these physicists are a goddamn detriment to science. Because they have no imagination at all.
NGC 7217 is ~50 light years or less, +- a lot. If they launched a probe toward us, accounting for movement in space, it could conceivably reach our solar system in ~100-150 years. That's only ~500,000km/h, and the Parker probe hit 690,000km/h.
