- 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.

"long answer: nnnnnnooooo" is the best worst joke you've made yet
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.......
And I mean we are heading the in the right direction... Quantum computers aren't there yet but the potential exists....

This is how Genocide happens.
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....)
so Mars will be populated by American teenagers.

I am a father of 7, with 4 grandchildren and growing. I have discussed with my children several times that given the chance I would take a one way ticket to Mars. To be one of the first, a true explorer. What surprises me is that they don’t understand why I would give up what I have. And I don’t understand why they can’t understand me.
...you seem to be very keen on having sex. Mind you that a roundtrip to Mars means having to abstain from it for at least a couple of years. In other words, if you insist on it, I'm afraid I can't understand you either.
@Nathan Zhang ...MY mind? I'm not the one with numerous children
Difference between your version of an 'explorer' and a scientist conducting theoretical work? Nothing, scientists often also dive into the unknown and discovery awaits before them. Why not just be happy with that?
How about because it would make you selfish to leave a family behind.

As a Texan (Howdy, Joe! From the RGV here!) in my own personal experience 15 years ago I moved to England from Texas & when I go back it feels completely alien to me now... also- people move on quickly- it’s quite heartbreaking but when you are the one to leave your native land, they get over you pretty quickly... I’ve got family who I haven’t seen for YEARS that I used to be close to... then after a while you move on, too. And that’s here on earth!
I love the idea of moving abroad. Sadly I'm a high valued target for England to want me. Though I feel like someone has to sweep and clean the Martian Facilities, they'll want me... Right?
This is why in The Expance Martians almost immediately distanced themselves from culturally from earth.

If the cat had a twin that was of the opposite gender and no one checked the gender. Twin1 goes to Mars. Twin2 stays here. No poison or death required! Check the gender of your cat at any time. Do you know if the other person has observed the gender of their cat? No information can be communicated.

So the Mars orbiter bandwidth.. Is typically better than the connection I get on a bad day.. For a single satellite though.
@Rupert Bruce its 2020 though so you will have to ask your cat what gender it chooses lol
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...
The best Schrödinger's cat explanation I've ever heard, no cat necessary.
As an IT professional, you seem to have a very good understanding of the many complications involving data-transfer between planets. A lot of people don't seem to fully grasp how complicated these communications truly are. Long-time viewer, keep up the good work Joe!

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.)

Speaking of Interstellar, I just noticed this the other day. Remember when they went to the giant wave planet with 1.6 times earth gravity?...they exited the planet's gravity well with an SSTO. And at the beginning they used a 3 stage rocket...ya see the problem here?
They used an advance plot drive to achieve this. It's manufactured by the same company that provides protagonists with the incredibly useful and durable plot armour as well.

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”. That really should have been a red flag to me...
Because who wouldn't want to live on a planet which has a habitat that is completely under human control, doesn't have war, famine, trivial conflict and the like? Jeez, I hope you dumped her four hours and thirty minutes ago. You can definitely do better, mister.
@@whatsupbudbud Yes, but also it is a barren rock with a deadly atmosphere... I mean, who wants this when you can live, lets say on Hawaii?!
@Enclave Soldier Haha exactly. Mars is essentially in a state of perma-famine. I sympathise with OP if his wife was always making him move and yet would never move for him, but moving cities is hardly comparable to changing planets. Try setting up home first in the relative paradise of Antarctica, and see how that goes
Considering she's the one who kept the two of you changing addresses for the sake of HER career, I sincerely hope YOU got to keep the last house.
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.
Great video. I hope we can make Zoom calls *in 5 billion years* when the Earth and Mars are about to collide.

"...no natives to wipe out." *That we KNOW OF.
right? what if they're just good at hiding
Yeah sadly it is an all to real possibility that we find out their had been microbes surviving on Mars eking out an existence on their dead world and then we fing kill them with a combination of all our Earth germs and particularly due to us stealing their water.
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.
If it’s a microbe then it’s had billions of years to evolve. Screw them. They had their chance. Evolve or die.
@@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.

@@MattOGormanSmith Hey, that's actually not a bad idea. If they can construct appropriate greenhouses, then maybe the lesser Martian gravity could produce a very interesting coffee blend. Or the same goes with other crops. Just being able to offer your Earthside dinner guests some genuine Martian agricultural products would be a real social upper.
Well unless Mars leaders has orange hair...
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.
the united states never fully settled its land mass until the last century or so. Also its no where near cohesive. Some areas attempted to leave the union every few years. Have you ever stood A midwesterner, a new yorker, A texan and a Michigander in a line? it would be five minutes before a bloody brawl broke out. We don't even speak the same dialect in any of these places.
edit:typo
@@jamesbonn2394 That's why I added the 'relatively' there, and why I only said the United States was the 'United' States 'a few decades' before functionally instant communications (aka telephones) were in widespread use. My point really was that the USA was a country, with a centralised government before instant communications were easy.
If you want to, though, a lot of individual states are larger than some countries, and those too existed, more or less cohesively before instant communications were possible.
I agree. Plus 44 minutes is not that long to wait for a text message reply, I have lots of friends that I write with about once a day, sometimes they reply next day.
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.
Who calls anyone anymore anyway?

Well deserved Joe!!
That Mars Attacks! reference, lol.

Great video
That glove analogy is the best description of quantum entanglement I’ve heard! I finally have a bare minimum understanding of it lol
The progress bar on the bottom of the screen was brilliant! It really drove home the time frame a signal takes to travel from Earth to Mars.
So THAT'S what it is.
Thanks for mentioning that. I didn't even notice it until about the halfway mark.
Humans sometimes take days to reply to a simple text or email, so I think it's safe to say the communication delay will be irrelevant for a lot of people. Obviously it's a bad scenario for emergency situations though.
Emergency situations? All we can give in an emergency is "helpful advice" in the best bad situation. Any other and we're sending a party to pick up the mummies. They'll arrive in 6 months to a year. At least the dehydrated bodies won't weigh much.
Joe, you're a goofball, and you make your videos fun.
"turns people into werewolves"
Moon: turning people into furries since ancient times.
And like everybody else, I can't believe he didn't even mention The Expanse.
That thing gets weird pretty fast, when it goes interstellar... In reality Mars would depend on Earth at first for a good while perhaps a century or more, and they would be very weak and small to even think about armed conflict with mother Earth. The logical thing is to pacifically allow them to develop their own sovereign "country". Not sure how well would that works but it would be centuries in the future. According to the UN nothing in space can be claimed by any nation, but this is unrealistic.
The asteroid belt might be a source of resources, but its more valuable right there in space rather than on Earth. I think some vanity stuff like gold could be brought, which would collapse its price on the markets, so... kinda pointless.
@@freeculture In the series the Martians are an Earth colony for over 200 years before they gain independence.
Everybody always seems to miss the Expanse. It's the most realistic. deep, evocative, relevant to our near term colonization of the solar system series ever made. The factions featured, with twists, represent all of us today. With awesome characters and story! You can watch first 4 seasons free on Amazon Prime, a little gift from Jeff Bezos - who is a huge Star Trek fan. Seasons 5 and 6 coming.
@@freeculture To give credit, Mars in the Expanse was Earth's pet until the Epstein Drive.
@@freeculture ...in general, claiming that Mars' colonies will some day go independent, seems analogous to Antarctica scientists going independent too. Unless Mars is "terraformed", Martian colonies will be dependent as hell to Earth. And accomplishing such feat (terraforming a whole planet), will probably take THOUSANDS of years - if it will ever get done at all. In other words, no worries, Martian colonies' rebellions is the last thing that we should be concerned about.
It will be "The Expanse" played out in real time. If/when there is Mars Colonization, they will be a different people in 50-100 years time and they certainly would want their own autonomy.
That's why we can't let them have nukes.
Currently the idea is that Mars will be independent from the start. Since a private company (SpaceX) will colonize it, not a nation, and nobody thinks the existing governments are any good. Then of course the US can find an excuse to "export democracy", and Mars won't be able do defend itself. Especially when for the first 50-100 years it will need supplies from Earth to survive.
@@andrasbiro3007 Space Force was founded for a reason. It's the ones with the biggest guns who are calling the shots and there's little a group of colonists can do if the Pentagon decides to drop a few squads of literal space marines on their butts...
Honestly this is why we need to get a system in place for peacefully letting space colonies ease into having their own autonomy and eventually becoming their own nations. Because if not, it will be the revolutionary war all over again, and people won't have learned from history whatsoever. The issues that led to that war were due to distance and communication delay leading to wanting your own autonomy from a big government that was culturally so different from your own, and couldn't understand you from that far across the ocean, to the point where it was better to govern yourself, all issues that will play out again in space.

That glove-pair is a pretty darn good analogy.
The glove analogy actually improved my understanding of quantum entanglement so much! Thank you, Joe!
Same here
And still the gloves in the boxes isnt correct . Only the receiver of the one box knows the outcome , he has the right glove and presumes the second box has the left glove ? The sender knows nothing until the second box is opened and he sees for himself that his box holds the left or right . What if the receiver lies about which glove he has received ? The sender would be forced to assume his box holds the opposite of what the rec' said ? Correct ? Then opening the box and verifying it holds a left or a right glove ? 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 ? Will box 2 hold the opposite of whatever box 1 is observed to be when opened ? You can't know...ya know ?
Could you do an episode showing all the stuff you've got in the background?
Yes please..
One of my favorite details in the expanse books is how long communication is in space, and how slow light actually is over big distances.
The short answer. . . No.
The long answer. . . . 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Joe you freaking crack me up!!!
Be real people in comparison here on earth:
Worst case scenario it’s texting with a friend who lives on the other side of planet (12 hours delay).
Best case scenario it’s texting a friend who rarely checks his phone
I text with someone in russia who literally lives in a city which is forwarded 12 hours on the clock
Being in a different time zone isn't delay. You can still set up a call with no noticeable delay, you just have to be a bit more careful about the time
Esquilax you absolute genius, didd’t think of that
Irving Chies me as well with someone in australia 9 hours difference, just texting once a day not expecting a reply instantly
I love the topics brought up in this video. Especially with the Mars colony wanting independence. If anybody has seen the Series 'The Expanse' it deals with this exact conundrum. Even going as far as the miners of asteroids called "belters"
I like the video ticker you put on.
Omfg a reference to mystery men🖤🖤 that’s amazing. I thought not many people knew about that movie lol
7:45
Half the world's population doesn't have to imagine, Joe
Joe: ...between .5 and 4 Mbps
Me: That's actually.. impressive?
Yeah, I used 1Mbps for years. I have 100 now, but .5 to 4 isn't that bad.
Thats my home internet wifi speed . It can stream netflix!
.03 is what I'm at😂 yet I watch CZcams at 480p
@@gtPacheko I had 100 Mbps 10 years ago...
yeah, weirdly it´s actually >10x faster than the modem sounds accompanying it would give... like. 0.03 Mbps (28.8 kbaud.) ...
"shoot some film.. dig a little dirt..., play some golf..., get down tonight, get down tonight". Don't know why that popped in my head when you were saying this.
Key the expanse, I feel like that series was really well thought out in terms of what life would be like if we were a multiplanetary species
Mars to Mars zoom calls though, would be fine.
Oh that's nice.. will we be able tp share screen too..?
So no online classes. Sounds cool to me.
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.
I can’t wait till the first humans go to Mars!
Lol you are not going but cannot wait for otjers to go? Yep..me too!!-!
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.
The cultural point is so strong. Thanks Joe!
Having 2 different internets sounds also interesting.
Big companies and social media would have 2 versions of their sites.
You can connect to the other planets internet if you want but the loading times are just unbearable.
Okay, you have got to start watching The Expanse. If you're watching this odds are you already do, but I assure you, you'd love it.
Oh, yeah!
Came to say this.
This is basically like BBS/FidoNET of the days before Internet. 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.
I am packed and ready to go!
Interstellar?! Event Horizon did the paper-wormhole example first!
Yeah I thought of Event Horizon aswell
Was hoping to see this comment!
They did use a porn centrespread though. That clip would probably distract from the larger narrative.
@@ABrit-bt6ce Oh yeah, Weir calls it an "attractive piece of paper" - lol!
Spooky action at a distance pretty much describes my romantic life.
Creeping action at a distance... Sorry just a joke :D
Please have this 🏆 for winning Internet comment of the day.
Just made my morning. Thank you.
"A cultural isolation we havent seen in a really long time" I guess he hasn't looked at the differences between Red and Blue Americans lately huh
Hahahaha, true. :D
To be fair, the divide is more Red and Blue Americans against the crazy little sect that claims to be Blue but is actually communists that didn't wanna join the actual communist party.
@@EksaStelmere well you also have the facist's that pretend to be republican, both of these are inevitable with a 2 party system (created by first past the post, the worst voting system imaginable)
@@ckkitty I'll contend the worst voting system imaginable is either the "Fidel Castro always wins" one they used to use in Cuba or the "The people elect their community leaders who elect their provincial leaders who elect their country's leaders but it doesn't matter because everyone still follows the orders of the Communist Party Secretary anyway so it's all just theatre" one they use in China. Direct democracy also sucks, but it's still better than literally every "democratic" commie state.
@@EksaStelmere not really a voting system by that point
Great trilogy: Red, Blue and Green Mars. Long read but worth it.
