- If you could travel faster than the speed of light, where would you go? Mars?
The nearest star system Alpha Centauri? The distant stars in far galaxies? Does faster-than-light travel have its limits?
For all we know, nothing can travel faster than light. Lightspeed seems to be the universal speed limit for everything that’s moving in space.

We need 155 days to get to Alpha Centauri, in an x10 times the speed of light. That really demonstrates the vast distances in space.
warp drive is a just basically cloning chamber of x-15 multiple double
@@nichsulol4844 That makes no sense.
155 days is still a long time to get to Alpha centauri. We need to get there within 2 weeks or less. Instead of going 10 ten times speed of light. Why not make it 20 times the speed of light. Alpha centauri is still measured at 70,000 years to get there on a normal spaceship.
@Kevin Bacon let get to alpha centauri first
trillions of trillions times faster then light by anti gravity engine and quantum tunneling understand saiyajin do that all time

Travelling at the speed of sound was considered impossible before but here we are.
Sound is not an electromagnetic wave bro......
Green Gaming so one day we might be able to travel near or faster than the speed of light
Photons do not possess mass..but we do so I think it's partly impossible to exceed visible light speed limit..but equal to that may happen in future.
@@PrithibrataBiswas But if you manipulate space time like in the video, mass is not relevant, because you stand in your bubble where everthing is like when you started your journey. But still, finding a way to do so is another Story...
Yeah except breaking the sound barrier was never against the laws of physics.
You cannot break the light barrier, and even if you could, you would break causality.
God I hate this overly optimistic projection science.
The real science shows this is extremely unlikely.
It MAY be possible, but I suspect the universe simply wouldn't let us turn on the engine even if we got a working warp drive.
You're all setting yourselves up for disappointment, and none of you know how physics works.
"How far into the cosmos would we make it?"
Indeed, how quickly would we warp ourselves directly into a black hole, out in interstellar space where they are all but invisible?
When a spacecraft moving at speed of light, how it can manage to pass through another space object (meteors, comets, etc)?
It doesn't, that's confusing, but that's it.
Saridipat Arunaditya +62 ?
@@kevinkarlwurzelgaruti458 any reference video?
I heard that a design for a warp ship will have a photon shield around it to bounce objects away
Technically since all objects travel on curved spacetime, and you're warping spacetime in a bubble around the craft, everything in the crafts path should be warped around the craft as well. Objects shouldn't be able to penetrate the warp bubble, just follow the space time curve around it. But who knows. That's a lot of energy.
The Problem with the Interstellar travel is that even the light speed is still too damn slow
@@SoloLevellor Well if you have a long highway and the speed limit is 10mph do you call it a huge highway or just acknowledge the fact that you go too slow
@@danielschenk1749 long highway!! This highway is 93 billion light years in length.
you need hyperspace peasents
Optic500 if you are talking about the Star Wars tech than you need to map out the routes at sub-light speeds which would take years or else a little dust particle would destroy your ship
Also you would be saying the last good byes to everyone you know friends families as depending on how much time you spend in warp. Those people back on earth could be well gone by the time you get back. Altough you would be gone cca 1 to 2 years and age that...earth years could be years or hundreds of years.

Fun Fact: Even if we developed the energy and technology to travel the speed of light (and beyond)
We'd still need a navigation system that can perform its duty at the speed of light. The navigation system would need to include a suite of sensors capable of detecting the smallest of foreign particulates just as fast.
Colliding with a single grain of sand at the speed of light is theorized to be more devastating than a nuclear warhead

What if we not type so atrocious?
@3:13 blew my mind. It's moments like that when you realize how small and how young we ALL really are as a species. It takes 20 years at traveling at light speed to even get near the edge of OUR OWN existence and solar system, and mind you once we even got THERE we would not even touched the beginning of a whole NEW solar system at that point. 🤯
*travelling at 1light year per hour!!
Then its 20 years, not at light speed, it would be a few thousand years at light speed
You ok bro? You are saying the end of our solar system is 20 ly away. Alpha centauri is 4 Ly away so according to your logic alpha centauri is in our solar system. Learn common sense
With that speed , your eyes are in the back of your head when you arive🤣
At that speed, you actually wouldn't even arrive. You would have long burnt away into nothingness long before reaching anything close to the speed of light.
@@angrysocialjusticewarrior Why would someone travelling near the speed of light burn away???

@@loic6613 you go faster than speed of light you go back in time no?

Twitchgodsofforrnite1 that is true it is perfect near sun but it has toxic Storms on that planet
@@rockefelleragent1357 that's not how warp drives works, warp drives connect one end of space to another, bending the fabric space, so basically a short cut
I fully expect for us to have a working warp drive by 2150. Not sure how fast it will compress/expand space but I fully expect us to have made the leap by then. Heck, even 5 times the speed of light would be a quantum leap. And we won't stop at a measly 5 to 10 times lightspeed.
🤡
Ai can invent new ways
No, the working warp drive needs to be invented in 2063 and the first test drive needs to happen on the 5th of April. 2150 is the date when Starfleet launches the first ship cabable of Warp 5 and the Captain needs to be Jonathan Archer.
Honestly with the speed science is advancing. I would be unsurprised if it was invented within my lifetime.
"obstructions in the way" (rocks in the space and other planets etc.) says hi
Well, you wouldn’t want to travel to the sun.. that’s for sure.
Gravity,or even sun UI rays, or even heat of it would boil you in atoms, or scorch you or either drawn you into a gravity immensve field. right?
sun blocking ship tired to be crashed
Between possible and impossible
Not possible atall
I just feel it’s not impossible. It is i’mpossible
Possimpible
@@jamilahassan5393 this technology like a fictional only exit in comic seen but in one hundred year could be no longer fantasy
plausible
A warp drive wouldn’t just need a ton of energy, it would also require negative energy to hold open the warp bubble. At present we have no idea how to obtain such negative energy.
Probably, being able to obtain that huge amount of energy (lets say from a Dyson sphere), would get us infinite posibilities of technological advancements and all of our problems will be dealt with a lot more faster, including dealing with negative energy/matter
Negative mass don't exist, and even at sub-relativistic(even less than relativistic that would take centuries to reach Alpha Centauri) travels would create radioactive that would fry the circuits of the ship and destroy all humans inside it, *conclusion:* Our dream will always remain just this: a dream! Interestellar travel is impossible! And no matter the kind or how advanced the technology is, there is no way to go outside of our garden! Thats not a matter of technology level, that is physics!
And about the stupid idea of self-replicating spacecrafts, it's also impossible! Entropy would kill all of them even before reach at the half of the Oort cloud. 0.5 light years!
@@Enzoa123 nah it will be possible even if it would take over a hundred years to get there but an anti matter drive could bring us to 80% lightspeed which if you account for time dilation would take just a bit over 3 years to get to Alpha centauri
we would still need a effective form of sub space engines, and some form of gravity even if it came from a rotating system
Dang this was so amazing 😮 it was really awesome and I am lost with words this was really great I subbed
Note my words "This would be possible one day."
I love the fact that all the "what if" videos are interconnected...
What we need to learn is "Instant Transmission Technique".
First we need warp drive to get to Yardrat
It makes me remember about dragon ball Z
You need to sense someone's Ki to do that, learn Kai Kai instead... Kai Kai is a broken version of Instant Transmission, Kai Kai has no limits.... it can take you anywhere in the universe in instant
But if you use kai kai as a mortal you can only kai kai in your universe not around the multiverse.
Dragonball z is gay any other anime is better than that cartoon
Imagine we're so concentrad in creating a warp drive but we didn't thought about inertial dampeners. On the first human warp speed test there would be one big stain in the wall afterwards.
Now i know why those "spaceship" have the "ring" around it. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Only one question
How can one control the space ship?
Autopilot or manually?
And not to collide with any other planet coming in way ?
It's called navigation. You would obviously set a course for the ship to follow
The various sensors, telescopes, detectors, meters and computers all work together by gathering data of the voyage ahead, sending all of the data to the onboard computer which then calculates where all the celestial objects will be during a set timespan, then it uses gathered data and simulations to calculate a course towards the star system, possibly creating a approach using a planet's gravity well in order to estabilish an orbit of the system. In short, it is on autopilot and it's called navigation.
Easy, just “set course”. That’s how Picard does. Duh 🙄
You have to remember space time is traveling around you not through you. Theoretically matter would move around you also.
How can sensor or information in ship travel faster than light speed??
I like how your every videos connect to each other like the video abt capturin black holes energy brought me here
Imagine that it's a year like 2500. You would get into a Millennium Falcon like spaceship to get to some college in another galaxy. You start eating your breakfast you took to the ship and halfway through you'd hear a automatic voice tell you that you have just arrived.
AI could really speed up development process of... Literally everything

this is so good
Supporting this channel from 40k subs now it has 1.2 million .

Even at 10x the speed of light still takes 70 days to reach the edge of the solar system really puts things in perspective
Actually it should be 1.15 - 2.89 days, (10x C) as the Oort Cloud is 2000 -5000 AU from us .

@@haroldfinch582 No, you gave figures, which one would assume to be correct. And you got mad when someone corrected you, essentially saying "i was only pretending to be retarded". And now you're telling me to grow up - your lack of maturity is really showing...
Presumably if you were warping space, then if you encountered any debris, it would be swept up by the edge of the bubble and have static movement relative to your ship, so collisions wouldn't be an issue. It'd be safer than driving a car at 60mph.
Was time dilation taken into consideration when giving the travel times in this video?

@@resistance1385 and to be honest our universe is a piece of dark matter witch explains why you can be going 20x light speed and still see nothing but darkness around you it's bcs our universe is a little piece of dark matter if you know how many solar systems there are we have our solar system everyone knows how big it is imagine billions more galaxy's will all kinds of solar systems and planets then there is this bubble of galaxy's like billions of them and in thoes galaxy's somewhere we exist and outside that bubble of billions of galaxy's there is this darkness that keeps going for a couple billion years at the speed of light then you aproch the end of our universe aka the little piece of dark matter that is us and that is why darkness is faster than light
As a practical matter, it seems like a combination of FTL & STL would be needed for long voyages.
First accelerate to relativistic velocity away from the destination so that time dilation is in effect, then engage the warp drive in the opposite direction towards the destination. Overshoot the destination by half a light year, then decelerate back to the destination at 1G. If the warp Bible piles up energetic particles at the front of the field, once the warp drive is disengaged, the ship will be fleeing that hazard rather than running into it on the way to the destination. This has the advantage of slowing time for the astronauts, and also giving them a chance of being able to return to the same civilization as they left, even if everyone they knew has long since passed.
Just had a thought; what about warp drives manipulating electromagnetism instead of gravity? This could be achieved using antimatter, right?
what if' i had powers like dark superman in brightburn?

Interesting to watch...
They just had a discovery about this 2 days ago and it may be revolutionary!
Even at speeds faster than the speed of light it takes time to travel far distance because most people don’t realize how big the universe is.
They probably do in their bops program. They’ll never tell us.
If we leave some people in Alpha centauri and went to travell universe at 10 X speed of light and we returned after A YEAR Will there be time dilation?
I know there will be time dilation (T D) at 99.99%of C and at the speed of C but will there be same type of TD or will it be faster or slower? If anyone read this and knows the answer please let me know.
Can you make a what if about what would happen if every step you take you will travel 1 light year.

@@user-gh6zh6dx7m 😂😂
You comment is underrated
I feel like this should have a part II explaining how warpdriving would affect our bodies.
It probably wouldn't do anything because the space within the "warp bubble" is meant to safely hold an object or craft without distorting or damaging it. Though I think deterioration from zero-g would be a problem. The two really known ways to create "artificial gravity" and that's by constant acceleration or deceleration, or angular momentum (spinning artificial gravity ring). Only one of these would likely work because a "warp drive" translates the ship through space rather than accelerating it meaning that nothing in the in the "warp bubble" would feel the affects of acceleration or deceleration.
