This, the very "nearest", is still over 4 light years away !

Obviously, there'll never be anything, "to and / or fro" .

Communications ?

"Hi !"
< 4+ years >
"Hi !"
<4+ years >
"Tell us about yourself."
< 4+ years >
etc, etc, etc ...

Asimov had the solution to this problem back in 1962, when he wrote
"My Son, the Physicist".

Science fiction is just another word for...thought experiments, and 'thought experiments' is just another word for ...science fiction.


Relativity...is 'just a theory', a thought experirment..science fiction.

Relativity is science fiction, is it not? It's still a ...theory. 


Relativity, possibly true but that is not known or proven to be true, ...a theory, just a theory.



To put it simply...

all theories are science fiction, because all science fiction are thought experiments, and
thought experiments is just another word for science fiction.

It's a loop you cannot get out of.

i think if you use a little....science fiction, you can cut down to
a few seconds.

Essentially, all science agrees, that we'll be limited to 3E8
meters/second, and typically far, far less. Take it from there ..

For certain values of "all science" that do not include General 
Relativity.
