我們有可能從離開我們的太陽系，進入到另外一個星系嗎？天體物理學家菲利普‧盧賓將討論使用雷射光來推動小型太空船的驚人潛力，如何能夠讓人類的第一次星際任務得以實現。請聆聽這則演講，了解這項革命性的技術如何幫助我們抵達半人馬座的比鄰星，也就是離我們最近的恆星，並且徹底改變我們對宇宙的認識。

人類如何得以航向星際

Humanity stands on the brink of an interstellar leap, using synchronized laser arrays to propel small probes at speeds reaching a quarter of light speed. A city-sized array could send a hand-sized spacecraft to Proxima Centauri, over four light years away, in less than twenty years. This approach borrows from the technology behind fiber-optic internet and solar farms, making star travel more attainable than ever. As costs fall, directed energy could power new forms of exploration and reshape our search for life beyond Earth.
