  • Mars is far away. So far, it takes light anywhere from 3 to 22 minutes to travel there. This means the way we communicate is going to be very, very different - and will have long-term effects we can't really know right now.

      Well I haven't yet watched the video and I just commented that basically yes.........
      In reality we can communicate there's just a massive delay
      It's not ideal but.... In the future in theory we could entangle particles and somehow measure them to move messages....
      In theory.......

      They say it'll take between 15-30 minutes... (Very rough estimate... But yeah most say 20) and keep in mind it's a 2 way issue it'll take the message the time to travel to mars and as much time to travel back....
      Not to mention we have to account for the planet' s rotation and position for both earth and mars
      (Well I mean I guess that depends on how we send the message... Lasers would be great but require a lot of accuracy... More traditional ways of communication like radio signals etc will spread out more so u know....)

    Hi Joe! Quantum Information PhD here. The problem with entanglement not providing faster than light communication is not that we can't act on one of the two particles without breaking the entanglement. Actually, that's pretty easy, and is routinely done in experiments! The issue is much more fundamental: there is no way to "force" a locally measured particle to be found in (say) the "up" state. Entanglement only tells you that the two outcomes are correlated (e.g. they are opposite) but provides no way to choose _which_ outcome you get...

    In one of his stories Vernor Vinge touched on a possible solution: AI-based predictive buffering. A pair of AIs at each end of the Earth to Mars channel are designed to learn the data request patterns and to get material to the other end before it is needed. We do something like this right now for many hierarchical storage solutions relying just on locality of reference. It should be possible to do a lot better once the common patterns of usage are understood. Combine that with really, really big buffers at each end and Mars would have near-instantaneous access to most Earth material it needs. (Zoom performance still would be rather annoying, though.)

    Over our marriage, I moved with my ex-wife no less than five times in order for her to pursue her career. From the very start of our relationship I asked her “given that any move to Mars would be one-way, due to not only the expense but the changes wrought by the lower gravity making it impossible to return to Earth, would you be willing to emigrate to Mars with me?” Her answer was always a resounding “no”.

      It is you both who are oversimplifying it, buddies. The biggest risk to any human is another human, not the environment which is pretty stable both on Earth and on Mars. Living here without other humans would be a breeze but we're all here aren't we? Mars will have only the best of the best, so very marginal human risk at worst. Other concerns you mentioned are negligible as they can be resolved by engineering. That being said, I do realize that most people are chickens regarding novel things until the masses are into it, so can't blame you for, well, being human. Sure glad you both won't be the ones going to Mars to fuck it up, lol.

      There is after all interesting atmospheric disequilibrium phenomenon on Mars like produced by life on Earth a characteristic only shared with Venus plus with a much lower degree of confidence Titan and interestingly Neptune(but not Jupiter, Saturn or Uranus as far as we know) Given the ice shell worlds of interest lack atmospheres this is every generally considered possibly inhabited worlds. Neptune at least has the life candidate moon Triton constantly erupting material into its atmosphere which could account for that signal if Triton is inhabited (plus given billions of years and the existence of Neptune's "bottomless" mostly water ocean, with stuff like ammonia methane and hydrogen sulfide mixed in it, it is possible for secondary colonization if life as we know it formed on Triton. ) Welp got distracted again point is I'm worried Musks rush to Mars is going to sabotage our chances of looking for and if it exists studying and preserving any Martian microbes.

      @@doubleheadedeagle6769 Yeah because life on Earth immediately evolved to complexity under sustained fairly stable conditions... >_>
      Mars's hospitable eon lasted maybe a billion years at best while life on Earth took more than a billion years to evolve oxygen based metabolism and then roughly two bursts of multicellular organisms separated by well over a billion years (closer to 1.5 billion years of separation) between the Francevilian biota 2.1 Ga to Ediacaran biota(635-542)
      www.manospondylus.com/2020/03/solved-and-unsolved-fossil-enigmas-part_13.html
      Evolution of life on Earth especially on long timescales largely comes down to chance consequences. For instance the disappearance of the alluded Francevillian biota while poorly constrained does fairly closely fit with the timing of the Vredefort impact structure which is the largest surviving impact structure we can positively identify which impacted into the outlet of a river delta into a shallow bay like environment surrounding the impact structure that environment ironically only was preserved because of the impact burying it deep underground. Either way this impact basin indicates the impactor was significantly bigger than the Chicxulub impact
      For reference the Chicxulub impact is the third largest impact preserved on Earth. Sudbury was the second largest which some researchers tracing elemental anomalies in the structure suggest it was probably a comet unlike the other two but I don't believe this has ever been confirmed) Fun fact if adding up all the known impacts and extrapolating current micrometeorite rates back in time(a bit hard given that we now know these rates are episodic rising and waning from celestial events within our solar system) but under those criteria these big 3 impacts account for 90% of the identifiable material to strike the Earth. Point is this was a BIG impact less than a hundred million years after the diversification of the Francevillian biota it would have had significant effects potentially wiping out a 1.5 billion year head start of multicellular life on Earth.
      The fossil record says we should treat every life form as precious as you never know who or what will rise to the top and diversify.

    Honestly I don't see the light lag to be much of an issue between a Mars Colony and Earth. After all, many societies have lived with longer communications delays and still stayed (relatively) cohesive. I mean to use America for example, it was the 'United States' for at least decades before functionally instant communications was in wide spread use. Even in my country, the UK, which is tiny in comparison to the USA had to deal with days or weeks of communication delay in just getting post, and it too has had a relatively stable existence for at least hundreds of years.
    Suffice it to say, basically any other country can boast the same. So a delay of less than an hour doesn't look like the back breaking straw to me.
    What would be the straw though, you've already mentioned. The simple fact that living on Mars will be so different to living here on Earth would almost certainly create the sorts of social pressures that would cause Martians to eventually want some form of independence.

      But we should consider that *we* on Earth now have instantaneous communication with each other as well as internet access while they don't take part in that with us. I think that's kind of what Joe might be referring to. But still: Just be aware that your Martian friends are a bit more 90s. I don't think it's going to be a huge deal, especially given that I think once they've established a proper settlement that is more permanent than say the ISS in terms of dependancies etc., they will have a strong motivation to come up with some form of internet access, creating their own network and content and probably agreeing on what data they want to sync from Earths servers. Also they might take a lot of entertainment with them which admittedly is a few years old by the time they consume it, but except for live events and live streams, most of our entertainment doesn't happen in real-time, either.

According to the UN nothing in space can be claimed by any nation, but this is unrealistic.

Hugely different than quantum entanglement of atoms or protons or whatever . Only by measuring it do you know for a fact that it is Up or Down spinning ? You dont even have to look because a 50/50 guess is just as accurate . What if box 1 held the atoms that make up a right glove and on the quantum level it can also be atoms for a left glove ?

    Excellent video. The trip to and landing on Mars will be just about the biggest experience any human could have. But then life on Mars will be tough, it’ll suck. No one should ever go to stay permanently (until possibly large colonies or cities exist).
    All visitors to Mars will never again take for granted the ability to walk outside and breathe the air, look at the sky without a skylight, walk barefoot in the grass, sit under a tree for shade, or simply look at all the life nature offers.
    I would absolutely go to the moon for a week or so, but not a 2.5 year trip to Mars.

    Honestly, Mars should have it's own Internet, a massive array of proxy servers and secondary servers synchronizing with the Earth's Internet constantly.
    As for streaming over half a megabit, you can still watch Netflix, Amazon and Disney+ over it.
    Communication between Earth and Mars actually shouldn't be that difficult. It would take a bit of engineering but anyone that has had to synchronize remote businesses with the main office over Internet of varying quality has dealt with this.
    Honestly I'd love to be involved in that job. That just sounds like fun.

Dial into a BBS with a modem, download your messages/news in a packet, disconnect, read them, compose your own responses and put into a package, connect to the BBS and upload your package for later distribution to other participating BBSes.
