And from LA to the sad hill cemetary, 4 seconds. Concept called G Force , jet fighter pilots experience upto 4x G force when going at High speeds. F16 hornet can withstand upto 9x G ., at speed 1000+ miles per hour (2600 kmph). Human bodies can withstand upto 5G , pilots, trained can withstand double that Gs and that too for a few seconds only. So, a 100 kilos adult male will feel like 900kilos is placed on top of him. Body will get crushed to a pulp within seconds. If you survive this using some advanced cockpit, there is the problem of landing in LA. Escape velocity comes to play, it is the amount of speed needed to bypass earth's gravity and and reach space. Like those rocket launches at nasa, they have huge tanks of fuel to lift all the weight and escape from earth. So, if travelling at 10x light speed, 20 seconds to reach LA but at that speed , you would have reached space and moon is in sight. Even if you aplly brakes , it will take hours to bring it to a complete stop and control.station will dispatch rescuers with a shovel to scrape all that paste in the cockpit.

These things actually aren’t meant to decelerate, for a space probe using this technology to work it would have to weigh very little- about 5 quarters- which means the probe wouldn’t be able to carry any fuel and rocket engines to slow it down.

But you can't control the direction of source of light. As we know the univers is filled with a ton of rays of lights approaching from almost every direction that could also act as a resistance for the travel of the body. Thus when the object leaves the range of our sun it will have to find another sorce of light before if looses its moment due to oppositly aproching rays of light..

@damonphillips4602

Жыл бұрын

Other stars aren’t really a problem because our star and the one it’s travelling to are the closest to it meaning they’ll have the most influence. The problem would be once Proxima Centauri starts hitting it with more rays than our sun which would decelerate the vessel slowly and then eventually send it backwards. It wouldn’t reach its destination. Or there’s even the chance of momentum loss attributing to a faster decrease in speed than expected. It could slow down to a standstill when both stars are hitting it with the same force which would leave it stuck and being pushed from both sides to stay stationary

Also, without the ability to have a "deflector shield", space dust at the speeds it travels would rip that sail to shreds. Need warp speed there, Scotty!

Aliens: ah finally a kite competitor arrived

Asteroids and other space debris left the chat.

Something crazy to think of if this works we will be going back to the great age of sail

I've been heading about this technology for 20 years.

Only problem is if you want to slow down enough to have a proper look at Proxima Centauri you need to use the same amount of energy to slow down that you did to accelerate. So you would have to do that around half way. So really it would take much longer than 20 years in reality.

for some people who is confused like i was last time, in space there is no air particles so there is no air resistance/air drag

Glad count dooku's space craft is getting looked at

“New” on a concept we’ve been discussing since we started exploring space.

Means we are early stages corresponding to when mam first sets sails.

We’ve been considering solar sails for decades. Have you considered how long it would take for a solar sail to accelerate from a dead stand still to any considerable velocity through force of photons? Consider it.

Amazing

Imagine from 8000 years to just 20 years it would be wonderful

20 years seems like 2 days in space😅

One time people saw land and wanted to cross it, then people saw an ocean and wanted to go across it, one time people saw the sky and wanted to go across it now people look at space and want to go across it, eventually there may be nothing left to explore and we would still try looking for more

Technically that isn’t a form of propulsion but it’s still really cool

When Star Wars nailed this in 90s

I seen something like this in that one show “For All Mankind”.

Energy needed is infinite for a mass with respect of speed ( waiting for mechanism to use celestial energy )

I believe the photons actually head up the side of the cell it strikes and the radiated heat actually pushes the sail through the vacuum of space.

WOW. NICE

This concept has been around for decades

The thing is light diminishes with the square of the distance from the sun. So at some point the solar sail would start loosing the threshold of the photons required to push it over the given surface area and it might loose its momentum considerably.
