If the speed of light is the absolute limit in the galaxy, then we will never visit an alien's planet, and they will never visit ours.  The distances are just too great.  Sad

I'm talking for organized matter.  While it could be theoretically possible to enter a black hole and come out in some other area of the galaxy - there is no way we would survive such a journey.  Smiley

If something like wormholes exist, the speed of light doesn't matter because you travel a faster route.

No. With technology growing everyday.. In a few years time, we would be able to travel at the speed of light x2!
I've heard of some very creative scientists figuring how to warp space-time, so the spacecraft would be able to travel in much less time. Less space-time in front, and is 'pushed' out at the back. Another interesting idea I heard was to detonate small nuclear 'bombs' at regular intervals at the bottom of the craft and reach very fast speeds.

Anyways, this is what I think of the 'black hole travel' idea. With that much gravity, you, your craft, and everything else would be ripped apart, down to the atomic level even. I think you'd need some sort of craft that allows it to travel at 300km/s or even faster to be able to not be spaghettified. Now, I might be totally wrong, but that's my say. Smiley

Thats good... i was thinking it was just me with seeing them.  I will take my tinfoil hat off now.

On serious note article looks like national enquirer type stuff....

Depends on how far away they are. Some proposed propulsion methods might work for shorter distances. Like solar sails. If needed make it a mothership with people being born during travel. And then maybe one day use an alcubierre drive to travel if they really work. Space itself isn't limited by the speed of light.

When do you plan to reach a black hole? The nearest black hole is far far far away.
"In 1999 a violent X-ray outburst revealed it to contain a black hole.[1] At the time, it was considered to be the closest known black hole to Earth, at a distance of approximately 1,600 light-years (490 pc). Later observations showed it to be at least 15 times farther away.[2]"

This is possibly not the case of communications in the galaxy. 

Since we've seen some particles which move backwards in time, FTL comm is well, at least somewhat conjectural.
