About this video

Thereโ€™s a silence between the stars โ€” a gulf so vast that even light, the universeโ€™s fastest traveler, takes years to cross it. Alpha Centauri, our nearest stellar neighbor, lies just four light-years awayโ€ฆ close enough to see, yet impossibly far to reach.

Join us as we explore why humanity may never set foot beyond our solar system โ€” the physics that bind us, the limits of our technology, and the haunting beauty of distance itself. From the tyranny of light speed to the loneliness of Voyager drifting through the void, this is a story of cosmic scale and human longing.

Why Alpha Centauri feels close but is practically unreachable
The physics of light speed and why nothing can outrun it
The vast emptiness and hidden dangers between stars
The fate of Voyager 1 and humanityโ€™s slowest journey
The dreams โ€” and delusions โ€” of interstellar travel

Letโ€™s drift through the impossible โ€” together.

โœจ Perfect to drift off to sleep to, late-night listening, or relaxation for the curious mind.
