wildfoodietours6702- Yep! I think about the fact that the first manned, powered flight was in 1903, but by 1969, Man had landed on the Moon. Impressive progress indeed. During that period, higher altitudes and higher speeds and longer ranges were achieved. The speed of sound was exceeded, a “barrier” that was thought to be impossible to cross. But all of these things were achieved by finessing our approach to those environments, not by trying to alter the environment itself. At some point, probably with the help of AI, there will be an epiphany that will lead to an unprecedented scientific breakthrough in which the power and the ability to achieve FTL travel will be discovered, right within the forces of the Universe itself. 63 years from Kitty Hawk to the Moon. From today to FTL travel? I say 30 years, Max! And that’s my most pessimistic guess.

i find this video to be very informative and thought-provoking. The author provides a clear explanation of the challenges that we face when it comes to interstellar travel, and the potential solutions that have been proposed to overcome them, including warp drives and generational starships. The discussion of the ethics and practicalities involved in a generational ship mission is particularly interesting, and it raises important questions about our responsibility to future generations. The author also highlights the complexities involved in the physics of faster-than-light travel, and the energy requirements that would be needed to make it possible. Overall, this comment provides a fascinating look at the possibilities and limitations of space exploration, and it leaves the reader with much to ponder.

It's all about thinking outside the box. If there are indeed certain limitations and unbreakable laws of physics that prevent us from travel away from earth of any significant distance, then ways to "bend" the rules need to be discovered. The Alcubierre drive is an example of this, though of course it is purely theoretical. This is a very simplistic example when compared to space travel, but relevant in terms of making the impossible, possible through bending the rules. A Volkswagen beetle simply is not going to beat a Porsche GT3 in a quarter mile drag race, it is impossible assuming of course there are no modifications allowed, both vehicles are driven by skilled drivers, and both vehicles function properly and do not break down or crash. However, this was achieved when the rules were bent and the playing field was changed from 2 dimensions to 3. A beetle when dropped a quarter mile in the air from a helicopter will cover a quarter mile of vertical space quicker than a Porsche GT3 can cover a quarter mile of horizontal space under its own power. This was done by our friends at Top Gear. Again very simple, but completely changed the result when an extra dimension was added to the equation. Could the same be true in space if and/or when a higher dimension were to be discovered and possibly manipulated? A rocket powered ship is only going to go so fast, but if there were to be a "way around" through a higher spacial dimension could this be exploited? What's impossible in one dimension is not only possible, but practical in a higher one. On a 2D plane you can only go back and forth and side to side...up and down is not only impossible, but can't even be conceptualized by an entity living within that 2D plane. What impossible movements might we discover in a 4th spacial dimension, or higher? Traveling to another star system might be like walking from your living room to your kitchen. We would never know if higher dimensions are not unlocked. The problem is unlocking them, can it be done, and do they even exist? Some scientists think so, but again it is purely theoretical.

Everything is impossible until one day it happens. What man imagines,he does.

In the fiction of Star Trek, IIRC, a starship has a “deflector array” that works something like a “tractor beam” in reverse-it repels objects away from a ship in flight, like the front blade of a plow truck. That might take care of interstellar dust impacts. As far as radiation is concerned, some sort of of electromagnetic field, like Earth’s Van Allen Belt, would have to envelop the ship and absorb the bombardment of cosmic rays so that the crew’s DNA isn’t instantly fried. Of course, this would also take a complete mastery of gravity and inertia. Hitting the brakes at light speed would turn the crew into goo pretty quickly. That all sounds nifty, but we haven’t a clue as to how to do any of this.

As explained in other videos, going faster than light causes causality paradoxes, where different observers could not agree on which of two connected events happened first and where it becomes possible to send messages into the past. If it is possible to traverse cosmic distances in less time than light would take, then the concept of causality and how events in the universe are connected would need to be recast.

But this is impossible since reality is true by the virtue of the fact that it's observed. Observations can't be contradicted by Star Trek fans who put their feelings before facts.

FTL travel is not necessarily impossible, it would have to be empirically disproven in order to be deemed impossible. There are theories like the Alcubierre drive (essentially a Star Trek type warp drive) that may be possible, but require exotic matter/technology that we do not currently possess. Improbable is a better description at this time, maybe near impossible, but there is still a non-zero chance this is possible unless proved otherwise. It may very well be something that is possible in concept but could never be achieved because of human limitations. That's not to say a more advanced species doesn't, or hasn't already, achieved such a technology.

So in other words, will time dilate if such a method is used? It is believed that no, it would not, because by using such a method of travel (warping the plane of space, wormholes, etc) there would be no effect on time because you are not reaching relativistic speeds, you are simply taking a "shortcut" at slower speeds. Time is only effected when high speeds come into play, or you get into close proximity to a large gravitational force (e.g. a black hole). A wormhole or other "bend" in space is essentially like folding a piece of paper and coming out the other side instantaneously, you don't necessarily need to go fast to get there, you just drastically shorten the distance of the journey. It is theorized that we can produce man made wormholes, but the technology needed is well beyond our current capabilities.

In theory, time should not be effected by traversing a wormhole. In concept, you are not reaching relativistic speeds as you would need to do to travel from a point in space to another point many light years away in a human lifetime, rather, you taking a cosmic "shortcut". Real scientists, unlike our friend here above us in the comments, conceptualize this as being like at a point at the end of a sheet of paper, and to get to the other side you fold it in half and punch through the paper instantaneously rather than traversing the entire sheet. There are many good videos on the subject from leading astrophysicists, all of whom know just a little bit more than Mr. Cracker Jack up there 😂

What if you took a magnet that spun inside a rocker. On one end to convert the energy into a push forward. As the magnet spins it also gets faster and the output on the push forward becomes either close to the speed of light or it breaks the spead of light. You could probably eject it into a black hole or a large star as this is the only reason you could not use this method.

Thus the Einstein-Rosen bridge aka "wormhole. If one is ever discovered or made, anything traversing it would, as far as we could perceive, cease to exist and since the distance traversed would be so vast that any signals saying that they made it would not arrive in any reasonable time frame.

In a sense, generational starships exist today, they are simply planet based. Collectively it could be argued that we have a goal that we will never see achieved in our lifetime (peace), but we as a species bring forth the next generation to further that goal, and then they bring forth the next, and so on and so on. The difference there is that each gwneration has its own individual goals that dont necessarily further the overall goal and in some cases could hinder it.

For me the only way is to consider negative mass in GR like in Bondi extension of GR or like in bimetric gravity. Negative mass does not exist but it can be substituted by negative energy. Negative energy exists. Casimir effect has negative energy, two opposite charges also, two masses interacting gravitationally also. In Italy there is an ongoing experiment aimed at measuring the tiny repulsive gravitational effect of 2 Casimir plates. It is called 'Archimedes' experiment and it's done by INFN and CNR.

And the thing is lightspeed is painfully slow in an interstellar sense to say nothing of the other issues of 'conventional' speed, like hitting things on the way to wherever. Until we can work up the power of a star(a technical hurdle no one in the galaxy has done yet because we would have noticed that, we likely will never do it either), we aren't going anywhere as far as folding/warping space.

My point is that just because something currently cannot be fully understood or solved, does not mean that it cannot be solved centuries or longer in the future. If we stick to the current science then it would be believed that traveling faster than the speed of light could turn into a form of time travel but all the things that are theoretical are not proven but just theories that seem most likely. I believe the worm hole solution will be the only viable solution but none of us will be around to see any of that unfortunately. Even when it is achieved, governments and military will piss all over it and take it over for a long time before the rich billionaires or probably trillionaires at that time would be allowed to explore. It will probably never be available to common people though but at least common people might have the opportunity to take a ride far away and have their own little spaceship for more local travel after arriving where ever it is they're going to. The true exploration will always be restricted to military and the ultra rich so really, should any of us even give a shit about these types of advancements since it's unlikely to ever directly benefit common people expect maybe the chance to live on a different planet under the same restrictions here.

A nuclear weapon ie. atomic and hydrogen bomb, works PRECISELY because the energy-mass equivalence IS a true and scientific fact.

I love it., he explains something that is impossible as the energy to attain anything near the speed of light would be near infinite.

The idea of generation ships ignores advancement in biotech that will - sooner than we have such spaceships - allow us to stop aging, rejuvenate and effectively keep the original crew living and working regardless of the trip length. 🤷

The "generational Star Ship" idea makes me laugh. Keeping a group of people on track for a specific mission for thousands of years is ludicrous. How much in common (technology, language, culture, beliefs, values, goals, politics, religions, ....) do we have today with folks on earth 23,000 years ago? Almost nothing. BTW - I picked 23,000 years for a reason. That's about when dogs were first domesticated. In a way you are scratching the surface as to why the Femi Paradox is no paradox at all. I expect the universe is full of life - all of which will be alone forever.

In order to have healthy genetic diversity for the crew/passengers you would need to also have thousands of embryos in cryopreservation. The embryos (loaded before departure) would have to be screened to ensure their genetics are different than anyone else onboard the ship. Beside maintaining a healthy genetic population for the ship, it would also provide (eventual) replacements in case of mass deaths (due to suicides, disease, or injuries/accidents). Thaw them out as needed. (It will take years before they can replace dead crew members but eventually it will happen.)

@digitalfootballer9032

It is theorized that the energy needed for such a task would require matter-antimatter annihilation which yeilds pure 100% energy with no waste or byproduct. So this of course would require us to firstly be able to create antimatter in enough quantity to achieve this, and secondly, a method to contain it. I believe at our current state of technology, we have created a few atoms of antimatter, so we have a long way to go, but certainly not impossible though extremely challenging and improbable.

Instead of traveling fast through space…imagine traversing space by treating space as fabric …and going through ripples of the fabric …, imagine fabric on a table which bunches up in places …creating ripples or mountains and valleys ….and imagine traveling through those bunches of ripples like a needle would …instead of riding up and down the ripples of those bunches ..we just go through the bases of these ripples ..imagine how fast we could get from one end of the fabric to the other ..while traveling slowly !

In case anyone's curious, this is just clips of Tyson speaking at other events and on other programs dubbed over stock space-explory footage.

The way I understand it, it _is_ theoretically possible for something to move faster than light, but any such thing could never slow down to light speed or slower. The speed of light cannot be crossed from either direction. But we know that General Relativity, as well tested as it is, remains incomplete. Because it conflicts with Quantum Theory. And the speed of light _looks_ like the kind of apparent impossibility that disappears once a physics conundrum has been reframed into a more complete theory. So, maybe someday lightspeed might become _theoretically_ possible, although I suspect that it would remain too inefficient to be practicable.

The concept of these generational ships is mind boggling. The mission of nearly everybody on board is to produce the next generation. It sounds crazy. But then again maybe that is how many people think today!

Another way to enable faster-than-light travel may be via quantum entanglement; via this path we may be able to send information about 10.000 faster than light, as far as we know now. Sending information is not 'travel' by itself, but who knows how far we'll take technology that can read and synthesize (biological) structures. If man-kind becomes capable to fully read a human body structure (including all memory), send the blueprint via quantum entanglement and reconstruct or 'clone' it somewhere else, that's a creative way to travel faster than light. Safe to assume we'd have to get to the target destination first to set up shop though.

Look how far we've come since 1880 not only will we have warp speed will be beaming up and down with transporters by 2080, mark my words. Look at the flat screen TV's too much picture for the electronics but it works.

There’s no way to travel faster than the speed of light. Our molecular structure, would have to disintegrate into subatomic particles in order to travel that fast. The second major problem would finding a fuel source that could produce enough energy to shoot the particles into space and back.

Using wormholes ignores a critical problem. You need a portal at each end. If we created a wormhole portal (somewhere near the Moon) where could we go? Nowhere. Because we don’t have a destination portal. You STILL have to travel to your destination sub-light and crest your portal.

If you're going faster than light how can we even detect something that we can no longer see with anything that detects things with waves?

This equation is a combination of the Dirac equation, the Klein-Gordon equation, the Maxwell equations, and the Einstein field equations. It is a powerful and thought-provoking way to understand the universe. \left( \gamma^\mu \partial_\mu - mc ight) \psi = \frac{Gm_1m_2 + q_1q_2 + g_1g_2 + C_{12}}{r^2} + \frac{E^2}{mc^2} / \sqrt{1 - v^2} The equation is based on the idea that all of the four fundamental forces of nature are unified. This means that they are all manifestations of a single underlying force. The equation also takes into account the energy of the objects involved. I am not sure if this equation has ever been seen by humanity before, but it is a powerful and thought-provoking way to understand the universe. I would be interested to see if anyone else has ever come up with this equation before. The mathematical proof for the equation is as follows: Let $F$ be the force between two objects, $m_1$ and $m_2$, with charges $q_1$ and $q_2$, and masses $g_1$ and $g_2$, respectively. The force is given by the following equation: $F = \frac{Gm_1m_2 + q_1q_2 + g_1g_2 + C_{12}}{r^2}$ where $G$ is the gravitational constant, $c$ is the speed of light, and $E$ is the total energy of the system. The force between two objects can be divided into four components: The gravitational force, which is proportional to the product of the masses of the objects. The electromagnetic force, which is proportional to the product of the charges of the objects. The weak force, which is proportional to the product of the weak charges of the objects. The strong force, which is proportional to the product of the strong charges of the objects. The gravitational force is the weakest of the four forces, but it is the only force that acts over long distances. The electromagnetic force is the second weakest force, but it is the only force that acts between charged particles. The weak force is the third weakest force, but it is responsible for radioactive decay. The strong force is the strongest force, but it only acts between quarks. The total energy of the system is given by the following equation: $E = mc^2 + E_\text{em} + E_\text{weak} + E_\text{strong}$ where $mc^2$ is the rest mass energy of the system, $E_\text{em}$ is the electromagnetic energy of the system, $E_\text{weak}$ is the weak energy of the system, and $E_\text{strong}$ is the strong energy of the system. The electromagnetic energy of the system is given by the following equation: $E_\text{em} = \frac{q_1q_2}{4\pi\epsilon_0r^2}$ where $\epsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space. The weak energy of the system is given by the following equation: $E_\text{weak} = \frac{g_1g_2}{4\pi\mu_0r^2}$ where $\mu_0$ is the permeability of free space. The strong energy of the system is given by the following equation: $E_\text{strong} = \frac{C_{12}}{r^2}$ where $C_{12}$ is a constant that depends on the type of particles involved. Substituting the expressions for the four forces and the total energy into the equation for the force, we get the following equation: $F = \frac{Gm_1m_2 + \frac{q_1q_2}{4\pi\epsilon_0r^2} + \frac{g_1g_2}{4\pi\mu_0r^2} + \frac{C_{12}}{r^2}}{r^2}$ which is the same equation as the one we started with. Therefore, the equation is mathematically proven.

My idea so I get to name it! Voyager 1 is now in interstellar time or "Mikey's Time." "V-ger's" message is sped up now that it's outside our suns time bubble or "Terran Time." It would be faster still if "V-ger" sent a message from beyond the Milky Way's time bubble. (That name is still up for grabs.) Then there's Outside the Local Group time bubble, so on and so on until we get to the, "True Interstellar Time Standard." Now that "Vyger" is in interstellar space, it's also in the Milky Way's STANDARD, faster moving, interstellar time or "Mikey's Time." This can be proven by turning off everything except its clock and transmitter. Have "Vyger" and the IP read time for as long as possible. They WILL show the flow of time speeds up the further away you from any celestial bodies. Until you reach the time standard. •Our sun's time bubble: "Terran Time" we know and have measured. •Milky Way's time bubble or "Mikey's Time." The rate/flow of TIME outside any influence but within the Milky Way: We just got there and are still figuring. Wild guess I'd say time will increase in speed, now and until Vyger is outside the Ort cloud .007-.07% faster, maybe. Just for reference. •Local Group's time bubble or the rate/flow of time outside of any influence but within the Local Group: Name still open and unknown. Wild guess .08% to a couple seconds faster, maybe. Used just for reference. •Outside any influence in the, "True Interstellar Time Standard," or...;-P Name NOT up for grabs BUT just begging to be measured. The rate/flow of time is fastest here so, surfing time here is choice. Though it's best to have your motor boat. ;-P A minute is a minute in all. It's the rate/flow I'm talking about. The Milky Way's Interstellar Time Standard will be known as, "Mikey's Time." Pass it on, please and thank you.

You need fuel to reach your traveling speed, not to maintain it.

I thought- perhaps, incorrectly- that the consensus among astrophysicists, was that wormholes may exist, but that there's no hard evidence of them. Am I wrong? Let me know if so...

The exposure to gamma radiation while traveling in space is another reason why the generational starship idea would not work. This is why we’ve not traveled to mars yet aside from how expensive and dangerous it would be sending humans into such an unnatural environment.

I also watched play school when I was growing up, the basics were fundamentally always the same, look at this shape and you will learn this, it was identified, labelled and when thought to be correct given a purpose even if big Ted was the one telling me so. Created reflectively, as Mass always is in this universe, this seemed to make a lot of sense, however reflectively I then later thought about the fact that I was consciously reflecting on every bit of information that I was processing to form perception/s, which obviously led me to the restrictions of Mass and the question of why we would be taught that mass’s physical make ups are also the universal restrictions of the Universe and as time? Putting aside the laws of relativity, It was obvious that perception no matter how you looked at it, is controlled by your conscious ability to process frequencies as information, and since the Universe is made up of frequencies this would mean that your only detachment from everything else, is your perception that you believe you exist separately as a singularity. This being the case, means that everything else that could, would or can exist in the expanse of infinity, would certainly have an attachment to you through both light bound and unbound frequencies, but also realising that mostly YOU (not me) could only experience the unbound frequencies as mass if they are mimicked to you in other frequencies via a transport system I.e Cern etc- as you would know right? Next I asked myself, because Mass is a restriction that is formed from cycled patterns of light, and the patterns for its identifiable shapes (labels) are essentially the same, Would they more accurately only reflect Mass’s believed limitations that are bound by Light because mass believes that they are the pinnacle? which as I stated earlier, it must, because of your forms of measurements. Knowing that frequency travels faster than light but also at the same time understanding that the basic perception of Mass can not comprehend this, I thought that it would be necessary to provide an explanation that was identifiable to Mass, so it being obvious that Mass is the grounding that bounds you to being a singular conscious reflection also provides the answer to zero mass (as per Universal patterns) that are not accidental, that without mass you are no longer bound to singular conscious reflection and become part of the grouped reflection of the results that you helped create or serve upon others as a singular or even as a group of singularities, I mean after all, as you keep telling us, all things Universal must be balanced accordingly as per known cycles of time and space yeah? So lastly I ask, how and why would you or I possibly believe that the Universe is singular in perception? when you use measurement of another to form perspective of it? and if it is not singular then you can seriously still believe that mass can limit the Universe with it’s perceptions? especially when you know that things only span an existence when they are balanced correctly and the paths for these labels are multidimensional and eternal even if Mass thinks that it doesn’t travel that path, This being the case how could you even comprehend any idea other than the Universe is a multi dimensional super consciousness instantly formed from infinite timeless cycles supported by every and each relevant experience (from perspectives)that is ever produced through the freedom of choice by each and every singularity ever combined? Mass is formed in time, time supports infinite experience Freedom exists Freely I don’t know…😉 I just thought I’d quickly write something @TruthAIBalfour
