Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger, can I take your orrrrder?

It's amazing how resilient KSP is. Someone on the KSP subreddit showed an image taken just before a crash after some crazy modding, and the altimeter read "999 999 Y".... That's yottametres. 1 Ym = 10^24 m. I think this makes the observable universe look tiny. AFAIK KSP doesn't have all space available at once (because otherwise no computer in the universe could handle it), rather space is generated in "blocks" as and when an object in KSP interacts with it. The crazy modder traveled through space so quickly that the space couldn't be generated and stored in memory fast enough, which lead to KSP asking for illegal memory access - BOOM. IT CRASHED. But this is IMO a great example of KSP's durability.

I pressed space and was IMMEDIATELY traveling easily 10x the speed of light. It was also spinning rapidly and if you try it on any craft with more than 1 part all of the energy is wasted in tearing the ship into shreds and you'll get lucky if you manage 1km.

+YouCubed22 At the velocities present playing the game without cheating for infinite fuel or using mods, relativity has such a negligible effect that it isn't worth adding anything related to it. You've got to be going damn near .5c(149,896,229 m/s) before you start really noticing anything. For example, at .5c the apparent length of the ship due to the lorentz contraction would still be 86.6% of its true length. At .1c, which Scott's ship almost reaches in this video, the apparent length of the ship is still 99.5% of it's true length and a day of travel on the ship is only equal to a day plus about 20 minutes or so on earth. So.. again.. no reason to make those changes until they add interstellar travel and technology that doesn't exist.

+Matthew Hennes Special relativity would be fun, but has only a very small effect in the end. The effect of gravity, from general relativity, is a far more dominant effect when the difference in gravity is appreciable (such as between an on-surface object and an orbital/deep-space object). Sadly, even so, the only thing you would notice, is a difference in the on-board clock and the on-ground clock, since the whole point of 'relativity' is that everything is relative, and you simply can not notice it, or even measure it in any way, other than that it is different from another observer. Really this is the founding principle of the theory, so there's no way around it.

Hey Scott. I really enjoy your videos about KSP. I have been using that "other" great space flight program for PC computers (Orbiter) simply because mine did not have at least a dual core processor (it's kinda highly recommended) but I just got a new system so hopefully I will be able to try KSP myself. If you have ever used Orbiter, that will allow you to do faster than light speed with the stock program, but you won't be able to control where you go. There is a quirk in the program that renders the Sun as a 2D object instead of a 3D object, so if you try to land on the Sun, you instantly get sent in "nether" space at speeds exceeding the equivalent of the Star Trek TOS warp 3. That's kinda fast. :-)

If you look at the demonstration of how the KSP game engine works it actually tells you there is no calculation of any craft moving, instead the game displays you with a speed number and moves around the scene for you. The only hit box in the whole game is the small patch of land below the craft which also doesn’t move, and everything else are just skyboxes. So in fact every craft you build doesn’t move at all.

The only thing that can reach the speed of light is particles with no mass such as neutrinos photons etc. we know this because Etot=MC^2 E or energy is equal to the mass times the speed of light in a vacuum squared. The only exception i know is when we are talking about the speed of light in different mediums such as water. which is why nuclear fuel rods glow blueish purple in water. The electromagnetic radiation of charged particles can travel faster than the phase velocity of the speed of light in that same medium which is called Cherenkov radiation.

Thats why reactionless propulsion (like the Em-drive) is pretty interesting if it's legit. You're no longer worrying about throwing that ridiculous amount of mass out the back and you're not hauling it around either.

Em-drive is legit, i saw that nasa tested it in a generated vacum and it worked, the shot a laser trought it and calculated the time it took for the laser to travel from the start to finish aannnnd it was faster than light.... So yeah... Space warp

5:56 you could store it on surface of sfere of size of our galaxy, and that data would project themself inside (blackhole-in plank lenght)

Lightspeed vessels wouldn't really be of any use in real life though, If i remember correctly the closest star is at around 5 lightyears from here, but that's not the problem. At those speeds, any particle large enough that touches you would just reduce you into dust xD

TicTac MentheDouce You would actually go into the future. Time is relative to gravity and speed. By going the Speed of light your own personal time zone would slow down greatly. Everyone around you would be accelerating at an amazing rate (Relative to you). So you would travel into the future and in a manner of speaking, go much slower the faster you go haha.

Can't believe it's been 10 years since KSP came out.

I was expecting a dull Kerbal video, maybe slightly quirky at best, got one of the most original explainations regarding the speed of light barrier I've heard.

For those of you wanting a more accurate number for the mass ratio, using x^y=y*log(x) to get the exponent, then taking the value after the decimal point from that and raising the power of ten to that and using that as our main number, we get 9.6397106918390457548096628480854*10^16589 Storing this number optimally with binary would take 7 kb, but with modern encoding it would take 54 kb.

Even when reading the whole number aloud, Scott didn't realize it was ~300 million not ~300 thousand. "Two hundred and ninety nine thousand, seven hundred and ninety two, four hundred and fifty eight" - Scott Manley Give this man an award.

Coming from a person who, when first playing KSP, launched a rocket into space, and pointed it directly at the Mun and thought he could get to it by just blasting "towards" it. Yes I can attest Scott is in a different league entirely than I am.

Fly safe? in kerbal space program that is highly unlikely.

honestly never thought i would learn so much from ksp

Particle beam engines. You can get exhaust velocity as close to the speed of light as you want. Of course then it becomes a question of power sources and acceleration times measured in epochs.

Wow, I'm just happy that Kerbal doesn't take note of relativistic effects!

The Tsiolkovsky equation (the rocket equation) works for low speed travel. Figure speed knowing fraction Figure fraction knowing speed Vf = Ve* LN(1/(1-u)) ----> u = 1 - 1/EXP(Vf/Ve) Where Vf=final velocity Ve=exhaust velocity LN(...) = natural logarithm u = propellant fraction. (0

That is awesome that you started talking about nuclear fusion in rockets. I am literally going to school for that very thing.

danny reached almost 7 times the speed of light after he crashed (I think) in Jool! :D

*What it takes to reach lightspeed in Kerbal Space Program* IN SHORT: 1. You take one Universe 2. Convert it into a bigass supercomputer 3. Install KSP, 4. Cheat and create an Universe worth of mass rocket engine 5. Crash the game from lack of enough memory 6. Yei :) ! Hope that helped

You explained this in such a complicated way

didn't understand a thing he said but I was still fascinated!

I've had pieces travel at the speed of light out of the solar system after an explosion on Kerbin. It happened not once, not thrice, but twice.

can't wait to see witness people doing this in Kerbal Space Program 2 via Interstellar Travel

Re-watching this in 2018 makes me realise how long I've been watching Scott Manley videos.

for i thought he was close, then i took a closer look and he was going a 10th of the speed of light 0_0

I mean hey, it's not like it's rocket science or anything, oh wait

im going to be completly honest, i thought you were going to reach speed of light in ksp. but after this video, my mind was blown. all of the numbers i saw just amazed me. insaneeee

Wow Such math

Another way to get the speed of light is to go back to that update with the mini physics less engines and strip like 100 of those into your pod completely evenly so the craft doesn't spin out of control.

For stock part sets a FTl rocket is simply not practical, but Danny achieved it with the kal1000 thingy.

I got 10x the speed of light with no mods, i hit the moon at an immense speed which launched a radial parachute casing (parachute already used) which has no mass/drag after begin taken of rocket so it launched into interstellar space at speeds past light

How do you think light gets to the speed of light? a K-drive? it uses the fact that light doesn't have mass or drag. My para-pac was massless and dragless, and had force propelling it. As for the theory of relativity, it wasn't factored into KSP

would be impossible to actually hit the speed of light. would need too much fuel, and your mass would increase in the direction of travel as you accelerated toward light speed.

in kerbal space program the speed limit is right because you know, mass increases relative to the who is not moving so the mass of vehicle would be constant to those who are in it .ksc should say that speed is less than C when ship speed is above C . so imagine situation :space ship is moving at 99.99% speed of C people inside would say that they are moving at 10^32 km/s ((relative to stationary objects) way above speed of C) but people who are stationary relative to the space ship will say that space ship is only moving at 99.99% C.so it' possible to reach speed of C for those who travel . and by the way if what i said was true that would mean that the energy needed on the ship to reach the speed of c is exponential to stationary objects but we know that the ship is not stationary so the energy is needed is linear

It's impossible to reach the speed of light. Your oversimplified and misleading explanation doesn't take into account the spacetime compression in each reference frame. The people in the spacecraft would measure that they were traveling faster than the speed of light if they incorrectly used the distance they traveled in the outside reference frame and the time recorded in their reference frame. The correct method to determine speed is to use time and distance in their own reference frame. Spacetime was compressed in their reference frame, so in actuality they literally traveled less distance, meaning they did not travel faster than the speed of light. The energy needed to reach C is exponential, not linear. You need to keep putting more and more energy into the spacecraft to increase its velocity by smaller and smaller amounts. In the reference frame of the rocket, the engineers observe that with each bit of energy they put into the rocket by burning fuel, spacetime compresses a bit more for them in the direction that they are traveling, which reduces the change in velocity they can achieve with any constant value of acceleration and change in time. This means that the engineers can observe the rocket continuously accelerating without ever reaching the speed of light.

this really makes you think about the size and age of the universe
