Well in reality traveling to other galaxy will be far easier than to travel within in our own galaxy if you may ask way is that simple because of( worm hole and warped drive/warping the space and time )we can use our the black hole in our galaxy to do that or I should say the black hole is doing for us after all black hole had mass that is enough to bend the time and space with its gravitational force so if we able to use the black hole we can In a sense travel through the time and space and go to the other galaxy but there will be still a problem with this method simple because black hole will only help to get the other galaxy but we have to travel within that said galaxy for that we don't have technology to be able to travel within the galaxy that Includes our own galaxy too

@Victor Gibson Said the person who doesn't know which of your/you're to use and doesn't use proper punctuation. Also, you appear to have pent-up frustration and/or anger issues.
yes I was just joking :P maybe though, we could one day create a micro warp drive... maybe a particle that can warp itself through space, ultimately going faster than light? Maybe that sort of things could be in the scope of the energies that we can create;
I was under the impression that the Warp drive in Star Trek works in a way to increase the space density behind the space ship while decreasing it in the front, creating basically a wave you ride on. What Neil describes here is folding space like Einstein suggested.
Basically the theory behind this is that if you have an object that has enough mass, it distorts time and space around it, making it essentially fold so that you can step across that much shorter distance in a shorter time. The same method of travel is used in the book “A Wrinkle In Time”, also a great book that I heavily recommend, but the issue with this, at least currently, this is something that needs to be toggled on and off, but you can’t just make mass or matter vanish, so that means you would likely need to construct this huge item of mass every time you wanted to travel, and then break it apart and store the pieces far enough away from each other that it still doesn’t have the same effect. But it’s a theory that definitely works and we have proof of it working in observable sections of our universe
There are wormholes used in Star Trek as well, but he seemed to conflate the two; in reality, a lot of what he said was incoherent to anyone who understands a bit of astronomy. Yeah, he can turn a phrase, but that's about it.
@@maxer131 As someone who knows very little about the subject (as I simply didn't care in my younger days), I'm curious about your take on something. Have you seen "What is reality"? It completely halted my understanding of everything and left me stunned. Is it possible to somehow leverage the power of observation described in that video as a more effective tool in terms of speed?
@@victorwijaya4051 His point is valid, the asteriod hit head on and anything from that galaxy hitting would be catastrophic. But the distances between things in galaxies makes this unlikely, like NdgT said the nearest star to ours is 4 light years away, the other galaxy would have similar spacing and the chances are a tiny solar systems that is many thousandths of that width, would pass by without contacting anything, and thats counting a solar system as a solid object when in reality each solar system is made up of 99.99999% nothing. Gravitational effects might be the bigger danger.
Created or found? Get your shit straight first. They cant even picture the black hole thats in our own galaxy yet they captured something that is 54m light years away.. good luck with that idiots
TheFaizOnline how much does it cost you to look it up on google?? We have literally photographed a black hole that being Messier 87 (M87) does that not blow your mind?????
TheFaizOnline yo god isn’t real, we are mammals evolved enough from millions of years in a planet that was formed 4.6billion years ago (not 6 thousand). We have gained enough conscience through out the time that we are able to see and discover the world around us by working together. A massive accomplishment is we proved a theory humans made a good hundred years ago and actually taken a picture of it. We predicted and proved a black hole. Meanwhile your little book invented by humans states a being that got bored and made humanity with 0 evidence apart from the ducking book, wake the fuck up, start looking at the earth around you, make your own assumptions, don’t take a books word for it.
Not only did he explain the obvious question as in depth as possible, he also added the war thing meaning fuck it, we shouldn't do it even if we're capable because we're too immature and fight all the time here, of course that would just start more wars anyway. You know, Star Wars.
Man, i want this so bad! I want us to at least be a multi planetary species by the end of my *couple of decades* long lifespan!! Every time i listen to the likes of Neil deGrasse Tyson, i become overly enthusiastic about our future as a species!!
FuOnY We can do both. In fact, if we don't become a multi-planetary species, I doubt we'd be able to maintain any kind of social or economic stability for long.
Theophagous let's assume the new planet that would be found is the New World (Americas), have we maintained any kind of social or economic stability since the discovery? have the mentality of the people changed since then? we're the same people with different manifestations and we will be the same...
FuOnY You shouldn't think of space exploration in isolation to other technological developments. Genetic therapy, brain-machine interfaces, anti-aging drugs, etc are already under development, and alone or in combination they will change human nature itself for better or worse. No such things existed when the Americas were being discovered.
He is such a master of speech and comprehension. I would love to meet him for just 1 hour to learn what level of thinking and logic he naturally operates on. His pause was not a moment of loss of thought but the understanding that we do not comprehend on the same level that he thinks. Like a person who speak multiple languages and still has to think and mentally translate himself to communicate in each language. I hear someone speaking French, I can for the most part immediately understand what was said without having to think about. BUT, I still have to mentally translate myself from English to French before I can reply.
His last point was something I've put some thought into. I love movies like Starwars but when I consider what it would be like to have an intergalactic war I suddenly realize how bad the situation really is. If as he said we go to space and we are still killing each other back on earth. On a planet made to support life how the heck are we going to keep from killing each other up in space where resources are scarce. I can't see a way that would happen as such I think before we consider going to space we need to first grow to love each other as brothers and sisters here on earth. I was surprised to see him say exactly as I had been thinking. He's really someone who considers things really deeply and expresses them in ways that makes sense to the audience what an amazing man!
The difference between millions, billions and trillions is immense. To put it in perspective, one million seconds is 11 days. One billion is 32 years. One trillion seconds is 31,688 years. That’s wild
Because large corporations basically buy presidents to protect them. Laws have been passed that protect these corporations. Its all about money.. Most likely you will never get a president that you want.. sadly...
WisdomVendor1 I've noticed, lol. All the intelligent people I look up to just don't have the ego/care/need/want to be a president. Quite frankly, the President's job isn't as important as some might think - of course the job is hard, but as far as impact and importance, that's left to the scientists, philosophers, engineers, etc. They shape our purpose as humans.
John Rose True, but it's the government that decides how much money scientists and engineers get to "shape our purpose" with. So a few of those people in the very high branches of government wouldn't hurt.
You already received excellent responses so I'll just make a quick point. I remember seeing Dr. Tyson on another forum where he indicated that a principle point of lawyers was to make a sound argument. As a scientist his primary concern is searching for the truth through experimentation and research. The day to day grind of debating members of Congress for every piece of legislation passed would probably not interest him or anyone like him.
I love it how, instead of just answering "if you could travel at the speed of light then it would take you 2 million years", he gave a really long answer that's 100 times more interesting than the trivial short answer most people would have given.
I think I just learned more about the concept of travelling inter-stellar and inter-galactic than I could ever have learned in school. I love this guy.
yes you would, but think of it like this, if you bend time and space, and light would take 100 years to cover that distance, you would have to wait 100years to see it. like he explained to the dinosaur event. further more there is even another problem that he didnt even touch, the light you are seing now is from time past, everithing is diferent now, the light that comes from galaxy x is milion light years old, that galaxy is far further away now since every galaxy is moving away from each other faster than each other
dk0bl1v10n Actually the time dilation is due to relativistic speeds, but inside a warp bubble it's the space around you that stretches and move, you are barely moving. So your time dilation will be almost non detectable. Look up Dr White researd on the field, it is very interesting.
Logan Penrod Only if you timed it right. A warp drive can theoretically surpass the speed of light so in that case you could very well warp drive somewhere and look back with a telescope to the day you were born.
The primary reason we have never encountered any E.T. is very simple. Even if there is life on nearby galaxies, and that's a big if, the distance is simply too far.
Nah, the reason why we've never been visited is that our pathetic species isn't worth visiting. We're too stupid and immature. We fight over meaningless things and barely know how to take care of ourselves. I can't even get a cat to pay attention to me. Why would an extraterrestrial that possesses FTL interstellar travel visit us?
crichton55 that's actually pretty much the truth. We aren't intelligent enough to have been visited by them aliens. The distance factor is also true. It's not about having a machine that can break the speed of light, you'd need to break universal physics to do that which perhaps is preposterous. Bending space and time to do impossible shit is just a science fiction cooked up by us here. We don't know what kinda science fiction the aliens might have. Also why is it OK to believe that all aliens are powerful and intelligent than us? What if, imagine for a second, the notion of flight is still science fiction to them? Why do we shun ourselves down just for the comfort of having found a bleakly legit reason that we aren't alone in the universe? Think about it... :D
Bumblebee in a forest / this planet maybe...like it would take years for that to go to the other side of earth...so imagine us to be that bumblebee and the earth as our galaxy, so it would take years ( hundreds of years ) to go to the other side of the galaxy, then we can imagine the time taken to go to the other galaxy.
Hmm so if you see a galaxy 65 million light years away and want to travel to it and use a wormhole to get you there in a few minutes , I bet you would be surprised since the galaxy you went to would have changed by 65 million years... So make the wormhole first, look through it and then decide if you want to go :)
No you are traveling 65 million light years by bending TIME and space so you arrive to the same light you seen back from earth through your telescope. The anomaly is when you look back at earth through your telescope. Just like the nice black man described
+Dom Talley Nope, if you create a wormhole between the earth and where we see that galaxy you'd be way off, because the galaxy is not actually there, it just takes lots of time for the light to arrive here.
+ady gombos but that would make things easier, because the light of that galaxy would not interfere the (extremely dim) light that would come from the Milky Way and the infamous asteroid. ...hehe, "easier" :P
I may have watched this video a dozen or so times over the past few years and never noticed the guy who walks up behind Neil to take a few photos until now, thats how enamored I was with what Neil had to say ;P
Classy De Grassy wraps up an answer to a question about traveling to another galaxy with a bid for world peace. To top it off he explains how impossible it is yet also how one thing could make it totally possible to go beyond the impossible. What I really love about Niel is his invocation of curiosity in those he touches with his words and the answers he gives inspire more questions and drive people to want to know more answers. The man is brilliant in more than just astral physics and Twitter.
Wow, we're really so young in our history. One one side I am sad that I cannot live in the age of space exploration that I believe will come sometime in the distant future. On the other hand, at least I didn't grow up during WWII, 100 B.C. or any other time in the past.
@@vitorleite3095 yup. Sad that the real reason for the lack of world wars is only due to their negative economic effects and so the shadow corps steer us towards peace. I wish the reason for our current peace was mankind has become more enlightened but we all know that's not true as evidenced by the nonstop warlords in Africa or in eastern Europe from the splintered countries of the former USSR. Once we enter into true world peace and can finally divert our huge military budgets into R&D and more public funding scientists who are grossly underpaid as compared to sport stars who make dozens of millions per year.
Playing Elite Dangerous really gives a personal perspective of how expansive our galaxy is. It has a 1:1 scale of the Milky Way, and even traveling 30-40 light years in a few seconds per jump, it still takes an insane amount of time to reach the end of our galaxy. We're talking >1,000 of those jumps.

Vegito_ Blue you know, if humanity lasts for that long, we would be in different star systems or different places of the galaxy. the sun exploding wouldnt affect us that much as a species.

Or it has already started I guess. Depends on your measure of it and our galaxies. At least that's what I was to understand from, I think, one of Anton's vids.
@@RolaiEckolo can you really call it that though? relative to the "big bang" 13.8 billion years ago 5 billion years is a significant portion of reality. i wouldnt say its a "blink of an eye." while its true 5 billion years is MUCH shorter on a cosmic scale compared to a humans, its still significant.

3:21 my man Neil just became the next waterbender
Neil is so amazing to listen to, he will take a question break it down into several parts and explain every single factor involving it. Amazing mind.
Warp drive? Hold my beer...
Marlos Craigan LOL
LOL!!
I'm-Own-nit!
Its 4 years now any progress?
yes I was just joking :P
maybe though, we could one day create a micro warp drive... maybe a particle that can warp itself through space, ultimately going faster than light? Maybe that sort of things could be in the scope of the energies that we can create;
"why do we have to go to space to not kill each other?" what a puzzling question!
Better to start from scratch than to fix damage that's already been done in some cases.
Sorry I'm half a year late.
You're a woman. You wouldn't understand about the need in our soul to create and explore
+Jason Moore
*You're
Badá Rock it wasn't puzzling. And it wasn't an actual question. He said it rhetorically.
Jason Moore she can only comprehend so much.
For a scientist Neil actually has a very funny and engaging personality, he's not your typical boring scientist.
I was under the impression that the Warp drive in Star Trek works in a way to increase the space density behind the space ship while decreasing it in the front, creating basically a wave you ride on. What Neil describes here is folding space like Einstein suggested.
Agreed. I've been looking for a comment about this and finally found yours.
Yep - it's the Guild Navigators from the Dune series that "fold" space.
Basically the theory behind this is that if you have an object that has enough mass, it distorts time and space around it, making it essentially fold so that you can step across that much shorter distance in a shorter time. The same method of travel is used in the book “A Wrinkle In Time”, also a great book that I heavily recommend, but the issue with this, at least currently, this is something that needs to be toggled on and off, but you can’t just make mass or matter vanish, so that means you would likely need to construct this huge item of mass every time you wanted to travel, and then break it apart and store the pieces far enough away from each other that it still doesn’t have the same effect. But it’s a theory that definitely works and we have proof of it working in observable sections of our universe
There are wormholes used in Star Trek as well, but he seemed to conflate the two; in reality, a lot of what he said was incoherent to anyone who understands a bit of astronomy. Yeah, he can turn a phrase, but that's about it.
@@maxer131 As someone who knows very little about the subject (as I simply didn't care in my younger days), I'm curious about your take on something. Have you seen "What is reality"? It completely halted my understanding of everything and left me stunned. Is it possible to somehow leverage the power of observation described in that video as a more effective tool in terms of speed?
Considering we haven't been to another planet yet.....about 4 billion years. When Andromeda rams into us...
There is more empty space than mass in a galaxy! Oddly enough, the "collision" of two galaxies would not be as catastrophic as one might think.
we be dead
@@killergoldfish117 lol just an asteroid made the dinosaurs extinct. And now imagine a head on collision with a larger galaxy might do
@@victorwijaya4051 i would like to be around for the fireworks
@@victorwijaya4051 His point is valid, the asteriod hit head on and anything from that galaxy hitting would be catastrophic. But the distances between things in galaxies makes this unlikely, like NdgT said the nearest star to ours is 4 light years away, the other galaxy would have similar spacing and the chances are a tiny solar systems that is many thousandths of that width, would pass by without contacting anything, and thats counting a solar system as a solid object when in reality each solar system is made up of 99.99999% nothing. Gravitational effects might be the bigger danger.

It's 2019, and M87 (well, its black hole has) has suddenly become the subject of one of the most important pictures ever created.
Created or found? Get your shit straight first. They cant even picture the black hole thats in our own galaxy yet they captured something that is 54m light years away.. good luck with that idiots
TheFaizOnline are you stupid? The very concept your questioning is explained in the video you commented on dum dum.
TheFaizOnline ah a flat earther I see. dumbass
TheFaizOnline how much does it cost you to look it up on google?? We have literally photographed a black hole that being Messier 87 (M87) does that not blow your mind?????
TheFaizOnline yo god isn’t real, we are mammals evolved enough from millions of years in a planet that was formed 4.6billion years ago (not 6 thousand). We have gained enough conscience through out the time that we are able to see and discover the world around us by working together. A massive accomplishment is we proved a theory humans made a good hundred years ago and actually taken a picture of it. We predicted and proved a black hole. Meanwhile your little book invented by humans states a being that got bored and made humanity with 0 evidence apart from the ducking book, wake the fuck up, start looking at the earth around you, make your own assumptions, don’t take a books word for it.
“Screw even seeing our galaxy! Too Andromeda!!!” Said nobody ever.
Love the Doctor reference!
Making complex concepts understandable. I love this guy.😉
Not only did he explain the obvious question as in depth as possible, he also added the war thing meaning fuck it, we shouldn't do it even if we're capable because we're too immature and fight all the time here, of course that would just start more wars anyway. You know, Star Wars.
Man, i want this so bad!
I want us to at least be a multi planetary species by the end of my *couple of decades* long lifespan!!
Every time i listen to the likes of Neil deGrasse Tyson, i become overly enthusiastic about our future as a species!!
Yusuf Omar Hopefully we will do so before we destroy ourselves.
Yusuf Omar i think we'll corrupt anything we put our hands on, let's aim for peace, equality and economic stability on our planet for now!
FuOnY We can do both. In fact, if we don't become a multi-planetary species, I doubt we'd be able to maintain any kind of social or economic stability for long.
Theophagous let's assume the new planet that would be found is the New World (Americas), have we maintained any kind of social or economic stability since the discovery? have the mentality of the people changed since then? we're the same people with different manifestations and we will be the same...
FuOnY You shouldn't think of space exploration in isolation to other technological developments. Genetic therapy, brain-machine interfaces, anti-aging drugs, etc are already under development, and alone or in combination they will change human nature itself for better or worse. No such things existed when the Americas were being discovered.
He is such a master of speech and comprehension.
I would love to meet him for just 1 hour to learn what level of thinking and logic he naturally operates on.
His pause was not a moment of loss of thought but the understanding that we do not comprehend on the same level that he thinks.
Like a person who speak multiple languages and still has to think and mentally translate himself to communicate in each language.
I hear someone speaking French, I can for the most part immediately understand what was said without having to think about. BUT, I still have to mentally translate myself from English to French before I can reply.
His last point was something I've put some thought into. I love movies like Starwars but when I consider what it would be like to have an intergalactic war I suddenly realize how bad the situation really is. If as he said we go to space and we are still killing each other back on earth. On a planet made to support life how the heck are we going to keep from killing each other up in space where resources are scarce. I can't see a way that would happen as such I think before we consider going to space we need to first grow to love each other as brothers and sisters here on earth. I was surprised to see him say exactly as I had been thinking. He's really someone who considers things really deeply and expresses them in ways that makes sense to the audience what an amazing man!
A trillion stars in M87. It would take 31,000 years to count to a trillion. 🤯
😊
Rick Oneill per second?
The difference between millions, billions and trillions is immense. To put it in perspective, one million seconds is 11 days. One billion is 32 years. One trillion seconds is 31,688 years. That’s wild
@@LeskoBrandon2x Very intriguing.
Does it mean they started counting the stars in M87 31,000 years ago?
So why isn't he President yet?
Because large corporations basically buy presidents to protect them. Laws have been passed that protect these corporations. Its all about money.. Most likely you will never get a president that you want.. sadly...
Because anyone with enough intelligence to be a good president is entirely too intelligent to want the position.
WisdomVendor1 I've noticed, lol. All the intelligent people I look up to just don't have the ego/care/need/want to be a president. Quite frankly, the President's job isn't as important as some might think - of course the job is hard, but as far as impact and importance, that's left to the scientists, philosophers, engineers, etc. They shape our purpose as humans.
John Rose True, but it's the government that decides how much money scientists and engineers get to "shape our purpose" with. So a few of those people in the very high branches of government wouldn't hurt.
You already received excellent responses so I'll just make a quick point. I remember seeing Dr. Tyson on another forum where he indicated that a principle point of lawyers was to make a sound argument. As a scientist his primary concern is searching for the truth through experimentation and research.
The day to day grind of debating members of Congress for every piece of legislation passed would probably not interest him or anyone like him.
I’ve never seen a scientist more in love with themself than this cat.
There's no such thing as "themself".
Maybe in another galaxy.

Love listening to Neil.
If we used a warp drive, then looked behind us, wouldn't you see yourself before you used the device once the light reaches you?
yes you would, but think of it like this, if you bend time and space, and light would take 100 years to cover that distance, you would have to wait 100years to see it. like he explained to the dinosaur event.
further more there is even another problem that he didnt even touch, the light you are seing now is from time past, everithing is diferent now, the light that comes from galaxy x is milion light years old, that galaxy is far further away now since every galaxy is moving away from each other faster than each other
dk0bl1v10n Actually the time dilation is due to relativistic speeds, but inside a warp bubble it's the space around you that stretches and move, you are barely moving. So your time dilation will be almost non detectable. Look up Dr White researd on the field, it is very interesting.
Logan Penrod Only if you timed it right. A warp drive can theoretically surpass the speed of light so in that case you could very well warp drive somewhere and look back with a telescope to the day you were born.
The primary reason we have never encountered any E.T. is very simple. Even if there is life on nearby galaxies, and that's a big if, the distance is simply too far.
Say that to alien theorists!
They believe aliens made the pyramids and god is an astronaut! Yep...
Religion does that to people , I heard
Ruthwik Rao When religion comes into picture, all objectivity goes out of the window.
Lol
Nah, the reason why we've never been visited is that our pathetic species isn't worth visiting. We're too stupid and immature. We fight over meaningless things and barely know how to take care of ourselves. I can't even get a cat to pay attention to me. Why would an extraterrestrial that possesses FTL interstellar travel visit us?
crichton55 that's actually pretty much the truth.
We aren't intelligent enough to have been visited by them aliens. The distance factor is also true.
It's not about having a machine that can break the speed of light, you'd need to break universal physics to do that which perhaps is preposterous. Bending space and time to do impossible shit is just a science fiction cooked up by us here. We don't know what kinda science fiction the aliens might have.
Also why is it OK to believe that all aliens are powerful and intelligent than us?
What if, imagine for a second, the notion of flight is still science fiction to them? Why do we shun ourselves down just for the comfort of having found a bleakly legit reason that we aren't alone in the universe?
Think about it... :D
Great video proper passion follows a great question

I kinda wanna know what the bumblebee analogy was gonna be.

Bumblebee in a forest / this planet maybe...like it would take years for that to go to the other side of earth...so imagine us to be that bumblebee and the earth as our galaxy, so it would take years ( hundreds of years ) to go to the other side of the galaxy, then we can imagine the time taken to go to the other galaxy.

Hmm so if you see a galaxy 65 million light years away and want to travel to it and use a wormhole to get you there in a few minutes , I bet you would be surprised since the galaxy you went to would have changed by 65 million years... So make the wormhole first, look through it and then decide if you want to go :)
No you are traveling 65 million light years by bending TIME and space so you arrive to the same light you seen back from earth through your telescope. The anomaly is when you look back at earth through your telescope. Just like the nice black man described
+Dom Talley Nope, if you create a wormhole between the earth and where we see that galaxy you'd be way off, because the galaxy is not actually there, it just takes lots of time for the light to arrive here.
+ady gombos but that would make things easier, because the light of that galaxy would not interfere the (extremely dim) light that would come from the Milky Way and the infamous asteroid.
...hehe, "easier" :P

Classy De Grassy wraps up an answer to a question about traveling to another galaxy with a bid for world peace. To top it off he explains how impossible it is yet also how one thing could make it totally possible to go beyond the impossible. What I really love about Niel is his invocation of curiosity in those he touches with his words and the answers he gives inspire more questions and drive people to want to know more answers.

@@vitorleite3095 yup. Sad that the real reason for the lack of world wars is only due to their negative economic effects and so the shadow corps steer us towards peace. I wish the reason for our current peace was mankind has become more enlightened but we all know that's not true as evidenced by the nonstop warlords in Africa or in eastern Europe from the splintered countries of the former USSR. Once we enter into true world peace and can finally divert our huge military budgets into R&D and more public funding scientists who are grossly underpaid as compared to sport stars who make dozens of millions per year.
My mind is breaking contemplating about this universe
Playing Elite Dangerous really gives a personal perspective of how expansive our galaxy is. It has a 1:1 scale of the Milky Way, and even traveling 30-40 light years in a few seconds per jump, it still takes an insane amount of time to reach the end of our galaxy. We're talking >1,000 of those jumps.
