Not bad, but Neil could have provided better answer. There are a few concepts of realistic interstellar travel that do not involve warp drive, although they would not work for the intergalactic travel. I mean, they could, but it would take orders of magnitude longer to get to Andromeda and would likely involve multiple stops.

Well in reality traveling to other galaxy will be far easier than to travel within in our own galaxy if you may ask way is that simple because of( worm hole and warped drive/warping the space and time )we can use our the black hole in our galaxy to do that or I should say the black hole is doing for us after all black hole had mass that is enough to bend the time and space with its gravitational force so if we able to use the black hole we can In a sense travel through the time and space and go to the other galaxy but there will be still a problem with this method simple because black hole will only help to get the other galaxy but we have to travel within that said galaxy for that we don't have technology to be able to travel within the galaxy that Includes our own galaxy too

FuOnY You shouldn't think of space exploration in isolation to other technological developments. Genetic therapy, brain-machine interfaces, anti-aging drugs, etc are already under development, and alone or in combination they will change human nature itself for better or worse. No such things existed when the Americas were being discovered.

We have gained enough conscience through out the time that we are able to see and discover the world around us by working together. A massive accomplishment is we proved a theory humans made a good hundred years ago and actually taken a picture of it. We predicted and proved a black hole. Meanwhile your little book invented by humans states a being that got bored and made humanity with 0 evidence apart from the ducking book, wake the fuck up, start looking at the earth around you, make your own assumptions, don’t take a books word for it.

Basically the theory behind this is that if you have an object that has enough mass, it distorts time and space around it, making it essentially fold so that you can step across that much shorter distance in a shorter time. The same method of travel is used in the book “A Wrinkle In Time”, also a great book that I heavily recommend, but the issue with this, at least currently, this is something that needs to be toggled on and off, but you can’t just make mass or matter vanish, so that means you would likely need to construct this huge item of mass every time you wanted to travel, and then break it apart and store the pieces far enough away from each other that it still doesn’t have the same effect. But it’s a theory that definitely works and we have proof of it working in observable sections of our universe

Bending space and time to do impossible shit is just a science fiction cooked up by us here. We don't know what kinda science fiction the aliens might have. Also why is it OK to believe that all aliens are powerful and intelligent than us? What if, imagine for a second, the notion of flight is still science fiction to them? Why do we shun ourselves down just for the comfort of having found a bleakly legit reason that we aren't alone in the universe? Think about it... :D

It was the TNG were Wesley and the Traveler made the enterprise go really fast. Now according to Voyager, who are stuck in the Delta Quadrant, it would take something like 75 years at maximum warp(warp 9.9) to get back to the Alpha Quadrant. In other words, even Star Trek can't really go to other galaxies.
