The fact that you have to 8x the speed of Voyager to show how 'quickly' it travels from West Coast to East Coast, shows just how SLOW the speed of the fastest made human object in space (when launched) is in the grand scheme of things.
LA to NYC is 5 hours air time by plane. Voyager does this in 5 minutes. 5 hours - 5 minutes. You don't say its slow. But the distance is super vast. ~3k miles.
To add some perspective, V1 was launched on 9/5/77, it’s speed is about 38,000 mph,on roughly 2/5/26 it will have traveled the distance it takes light to reach in one day.
@@jg2977 Despite that, I sometimes wish I'd stowed away on one of the Voyagers. I was 18 when they launched and - despite obvious rigors - I would have found the trip less grueling than what we've gone through in this world since 1977.
@@glauberglousger6643 like the manhole cover from the underground test. Wasn't that the fastest man made object. The scientist just said "it was going like a bat". But in reality they think it hit around 125000 mph and is traveling through space now.
This video is mind blowing, it both shows how big the earth actually is, but also how slow the Voyager is travelling in relation to the distance it is now travelling.
Hmm, am I missing something? That seems pretty slow compared to what my expectation would be. I was imagining it's speed such that it would cross the continental US in less than a minute (maybe even just a few seconds). This is one of those spacecraft where the human race will someday send another interstellar craft outward and it will catch up and pass Voyager 1 like it is standing still.

At first I was skeptical until I did some measurements on Google maps. 17km per second is about 10.5 miles per second. It’s actually pretty accurate if you know the distances of places you’re looking at. In my case it was NYC.
We can also visualise how big our galaxy is. At that speed I calculate it would take nearly 50,000 years to get to our nearest star system, Alpha Centauri.
@@robocatssj3theofficial No, it doesn't. How did you even come up with that conclusion? 1/80 speed of light is 3750 km/second which is many orders of magnitude faster than what's shown here
Wow the United States ( and world) are huge. Hard to comprehend how big it really is, especially when there are so many comparisons and visualizations that make it seem small
It think it WOULD look like a very, very bright ball of light and heat that would probably sweep over a huge area and obliterate most of its surroundings. And if you were anywhere near it, you probably wouldn't see ANYTHING for a very, very long time (permanently).💥🔥But it's a great hypothetical video.
Your elevation or altitude in the NYC may be off , that low to the ground the city would be more of a blur at that speed , I could be wrong in my thinking , but the clip seemed to match the speed of a fighter jet .
A Photon of light travels that distance (US coast to coast) in 1/620th of a second. Less than half a millisecond. Which is why it took so long to measure the speed of light….it seems instantaneous. People only noticed that light has an actual speed when they measured it over astronomical distances.
You probably need a better measurement if you’re having to 8x the playback speed for a time illustration. It’s like saying “look how big this object is in comparison to the Eiffel Tower” then shrinking the Eiffel Tower in the visual display
0:31 That seems like an old NYC map, since the twin towers are just pieces of small metal now, however you can find their 9/11 stones at big fire stations, when i visited orlando fire station 1, they had a massive one, along with another
New York & Los Angeles 2445.58 miles apart as the crow flies, and it takes 5 minutes. If it were to continue, it would reach Amsterdam in only 6 minutes.
i think visualized speed is a bit less than the actual speed... actual speed is 61000km/hr ie 16km/sec approx.. that i think should be faster than that shown in the visualization..

23 hours at the date of this post (6/6/2024). Voyager 1 travels at 3.5 AUs per year so in mid 2026 it will be 24 hours light travel time.
Speeding it up defeated the point of showing how long it would take at Voyager's actual speed.
They didn't want to lose viewers on the long trip across the Great Plains.
There's still a timer at the bottom, it's not that hard to imagine how long 5 minutes would be
If Voyager were headed in the direction of the Alpha Centauri star system, it would take 75,000 years to get there.

At that speed it would still take 50,000 years to reach the nearest star.
