I know I've said this before but I really love how well you explain sci-fi concepts with real world allegories . It gives so much depth to series' and movies that we love so much. It brings them to life.

Thank you James!

I've been reading about Wormholes for decades since I was a teenager. It's tricky because unlike Blackholes which can be observed Indirectly, the same can't be said for Wormholes. Maybe someday when our understand of science is more complete, we may get some answers. Great episode Tyler! Love the show, love DS9! Stay cool 😎🖖😁🤘🇨🇦

There is a ds9 episode where they somehow make or create a mini universe and Kira wants to destroy it and odo is like "I don't step on ants major" so they guide it to through the wormhole even though it will continue to displace their own universe... double thumbs up 👍

When you say "let's get started" and the music changes....That's SO GOOD. In case no one told you.

How far down does the wormhole go?

I shoulda had my caffeine fix before watching this. Very well-informed and entertaining too. Thanks for explaining!

Love the elements of real world physics used by Trek science

I'm kind of fond of Star Trek's imaginary subspace physics and engineering and materials and all. When it comes to suspending disbelief there's kind of a whole realm of stuff to imagine we just don't know about yet, (And apparently once peoples make a certain few discoveries they seem to learn a lot of how to use it quick, otherwise you'd think we'd see more pre-warp civilizations building big but lower-tech like megaprojects and such, like you see in more current-physics-based sci fi and speculation. )

Or those other civilisations did the quivalent of what NASA is planning to do with the 'obsolete' iss and _throw it at the atmosphere to burn it up_ ......so there's nothing left. 😢

Oh wow dude!! I never would have thought to even ask the question!! What an ultra-mega-mega-FANTASTICO idea for a video!! Needless to say an infite number of WOOOO HOOOOs is in order!!!

How did you talk about DS9 and not do the Trill line "ALLLL the way down" lol I love your videos man!

Hey Tyler, guys here. I've watched your in-depth videos for years. From the Trek biologies to the Fringe alternatives...how about some "Real World" application or analysis of STARGATE? SG1's Prometheus that O'Neill dubs "The Enterprise" would be a great place to start. As well as the military accurate weapons and mission control

Quark gave me some STRONG Ferengi herb before this video and I'm not exactly following the video, but by the fires of Kahless, i'm loving it.

I absolutely love that “warp wake” shot from Beyond. Kudos for using it while discussing the bending and warping of space by the engines. It’s not 100% accurate since it’s modelled after a bullet in the air, but such a drive would absolutely emit gravitational waves in a similar pattern.

Thank you for another excellent Trek science video! I quite enjoy these. My wife and I just recently watched the Voyager episode where they used the micro-wormhole to speak with the Romulan captain in the past. We love that one. God be with you out there everybody. ✝️ :)

Tylers videos make my Friday evenings 👍👨‍🔬

"Installation 00" has a series of videos similar to this, looking at real world analogies in the Halo universe. Nice video, thank you.

At 0:25 I was expecting to hear the hardest Star Trek rap ever, but we got a good video instead. Nice work.

New one! My day is made

Each time you mention wormholes, I think of John Crichton from Farscape.

Thank you for all of your great videos. I enjoy watching them immensely

Thanks Joe!

I think you could possibly make ad-hoc wormholes that are basically folding space as needed, but I don't think stable wormholes with persistent coordinates as exist in DS9 are ever gonna be possible. It's gonna be more Farscape-y.

Thank you! I really enjoy your science based content ;) Personally, I prefer to mix my neutrinos with beer. That way it's more fun when they pass through my body.

🖖 I guess the micro wormholes for communication makes as much sense as any of it can.

Another great video, Tyler. Thanks for al you, Phobia and Subraxas do. Forgive me, but I don't remember if you've ever delved into von Neumann Probes (self-replicating spacecraft). Maybe it's something you should check out, if you haven't. While we're on the subject of von Neumann Probes, if you ever get the opportunity, you should read the Bobiverse novels - We Are Legion (We Are Bob), For We Are Many, All These Worlds and Heaven's River - by Dennis E. Taylor. Or listen to the audiobook series. I'm pretty sure you'd enjoy it.

Fascinating video topic Tyler. While the actual science for this is very VERY deep and complex, and not really (in my opinion) all that well understood, I think you did a pretty good job glossing along the surface, with quick dives a little deeper into certain topics related to the whole idea of wormholes. So, not bad I'd say. I keep seeing discussion around "negative matter" and "negative mass" and "negative energy" when these kinds of discussions around wormholes and FTL travel are concerned. I just can't seem to get my head around WHAT the heck these things are.. I mean what exactly is "negative mass" anyway? Does anybody even know? Anyway - Good video about this - Thanks for this!

I assume negative mass and negative energi came along, because some equations could be solved with both positive and negative numbers. Positive numbers being "normal mass and energy". Same is the case for the theoretical white-holes. Same was the case with Anti-matter. And today, we know how to produce it. Albeit in very low quantities. I'm in awe, over all the physics, that is still just outside our grasp. And wonder if we will ever get a complete picture.

PBS Space Time has some wonderful videos on what these are and their practical implications - and why they probably can’t exist in our universe :) with lots of lovely animations and analogies to help.

Yes! You wanted to do this one first didn't you, Professor Tyler? The verterons were very "cringey" 🤣 in my branch, I took quantum for semiconductors at UCLA . The wormholes and the Einstein-Rosen Bridge, it's too unstable, it violates physics if you can : -Get one bigger than quantum scale. -it should keep its mouth open, but it's just a question of some stuff enters it and it kabooms out of existence. Oh, you explaining same 😅🤓 You are doing a great job, Tyler! Vger, I dunno if I watched it. I'm gonna take a look at your content. I haven't realised you started long time ago, you... You said time wimey 😎 maius intra qua extra, Caecilius! A ER Bridge by definition is an extreme bending of spacetime. It still is governed by thermodynamic and conservation of energy.. Ok, you can say space can expand fasterest😅 but that generates lots of RADIATION and not of the nice one. Same with warp bubbles, nobody's listening to me 🈂️😢 getting off warp would send the huge grav wave and you know what happens when something so steep like disconnecting the plug, PIP! Neutrinos are so "small" I don't know how even Geordi's visor detected them. String theory, let's move forward, it's going around since I remember and I went to college in 1993. My thesis was Casimir fx. The explanation is more wibbly wobbly, but don't get impressed by "negative pressure". Fancy names as always. Anyhow, the gory details out of here, the most pedagogical way of looking at these waves is by playing a guitar. If you pick the 6 string, it will be E. Now you press a fret at the middle and you get a note and an harmonic, the wave now moves from the fret below your finger to the bottom of the guitar and another up to the head of it. You can try two frets with enough separation to get a noticeable third wave between those two frets. You twill notice the "outside" waves are stronger than the little one in the middle. Similar in Casimir effect. Less energy there in the middle. Less ENERGY DENSITY IN THE MIDDLE. Macroscopically, it doesn't work. It's just a little effect and it uses that energy to balance themselves virtual particles, even by pushing the plates. But.. It's not likely to use two dielectric plates, this has to be absolutely equidistant to.. 🤔 Whatever. It's a hollow half sphere and an electrode, so that is equidistant. It shows there's energy fluctuating which can exert work. With lots of DEGREES OF FREEDOM, better than dimensions, it's easier to put everything there. Because it allows you to associate something you don't have completely understood on another axis, orthogonal, so not linearly dependent. Imaginary mass, negative or whatever doesn't exist. Those solutions can only work on paper. It's not about "in the future we will be able to do anything!" that's not so.. Quantum doesn't relates to RELATIVITY GENERAL because our differehtiable manifolds have to be flat. Everything quantum works for flat spacetime . If it varies, 😳 Oops, conservar la energía va a ser muy difivikt! This topic is extremely extense. I used for quantum Griffiths textbook 956 pages. And that was only quantum mechanics, the other stuff were thousands of more pages 😢

I sort of assume that the notion of "subspace" was meant as a neat distinction between classical physics and general relativity on the one hand and quantum mechanics on the other. I don't know if that was the intention but it's one way of obfuscating the need for a theory of quantum gravity. In practice I suppose it was mostly used to justify the more out there sci-fi ideas.

Rather than "Let's get started." I'd absolutely lose it if Tyler gave us a Steve1989, and said: "Nice! Let's get this out onto a tray." . . . presuming they still have mess trays in the 24th century. Oh snap! What're MRE's like in the Star Trek universe? 😂

So string theory is still an accepted model? I remember someone a years ago mentioned it was no longer recognised as a plausible theory. But I dont see how anyone could know either way

It was never really “accepted”, and it also hasn’t been “discredited”. It was just trendy for a while and now isn’t so trendy. It’s exactly as testable and tested now (ie none) as it was in the 90s

So, I know you say they’re entirely theoretical, but didn’t a team use the Google quantum computer (Sycamore?) to create a wormhole? I saw some stuff about it, but if anyone has a good grasp of it, please tell.

I think the interior of a black hole is probably similar to the interior of a star, since everything kinda repeats itself in the Universe.

Whatever else can be said about Trek's oddball take on the "science" part of "science fiction", it is one of the most internally consistent oddball pseudosciences in the genre. At least until Abrams and Kurtzman showed up. As for bananas, my phone is an LG K40. I call it the Radioactive Banana Phone because of the potassium 40 right there in its name.

It sure does prop a lot on the house of cards which is “subspace”! But as you say, keeps remarkably consistent given that underpinning. Anything that travels faster than light or bends space has a “subspace component”. Bam, done and dusted
