Part 11/14:
By 2200, advanced black-hole drives based on controlled Hawking radiation propel ships across the galaxy. The discovery and stabilization of wormholes open avenues to distant star systems, drastically reducing travel times and enabling exploration of regions previously thought inaccessible. Humanity extends its reach to Proxima Centauri, establishing vibrant colonies that resemble Earth, with cities, schools, and cultural institutions.
Personal spacecraft become as ubiquitous as cars, ferrying individuals between stations, planets, and interstellar gateways. Humanity constructs a colossal Dyson swarm, a vast structure orbiting the Sun, harvesting solar energy on an unparalleled scale. This cosmic energy network sustains civilizations across the solar system—and beyond.
