Warp Drive and Aliens: Bryan Gaensler Public Lecture
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 02. 2020
- In his live public lecture at Perimeter Institute on February 5, 2020, astronomer Bryan Gaensler (Dunlap Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics, University of Toronto) explored the latest thinking on interstellar travel and on the search for alien life - including why he believes the frontiers of current research may be more exciting and visionary than any fictional stories we can imagine.

This was recorded on my 50th birthday so thank you! One thing I'd like to point out about UFO's that Mr. Gaensler wholly neglects to consider is that while yes, we do have cell phones with somewhat decent cameras, they are mainly designed for close up shots and not distance. It is also very difficult, if not impossible, to focus them on small objects that are far away, and especially anything in bad lighting or at night. For example, watch a plane fly by up in the sky and try and get a good picture of it. It is difficult if not impossible even under good conditions.
Secondly, most of the recent incidents of the last two decades that have been tracked by the military and also seen by commercial pilots are often over the ocean and or at very high altitudes. Lastly, we cannot just dismiss what is actual recorded evidence by the military and pilots including radar records of objects moving in and then back out of our atmosphere at extreme speeds that we humans are not nearly capable of. There is in fact a lot of evidence that cannot be easily shrugged off.
While some events can of course be explained by professional skeptics such as Mick West, there are still many more events which cannot be simply dismissed as "anomalies". And to be clear, it's very disturbing that people like this, people who are apparently smart and dedicated to their profession, would so quickly and wantonly dismiss such incidents simply because it's not really within their area of study (when in fact it kinda, sorta actually is lol).
My point is that these may just be the droids we are looking for. And just because we haven't figured everything out yet, it doesn't mean other potentially advanced civilizations who could have a million-year jump or more of evolution over us...already have figured things out. Just like how we are exploring Mars with what is essentially a drone, so could an advanced civilization explore us with super-advanced drones, possibly ones that are completely autonomous free-thinking AI that have developed over tens of thousands of years.
Think about what we have accomplished just in the last 50 years with technology and now add 1,000 or 100,000 years to that and think where we could be. Therefore we simply cannot rule out the possibility, however extreme and unimaginable, that in various places of our galaxy we may have neighbors who are doing or have already done the same and much greater. It is estimated that there are 100 Billion or more Red Dwarf stars in our Galaxy. There's quite a lot of potential out there. So I say.. let’s keep the faith!
Bravo
Well said. I'm sure you're well aware of the multitude of reasons why people like this can't just come out and say that UFO's are everything we imagine them to be and then some.
Just because you "see" something on RADAR does not mean that it's a solid object. RADARs can be spoofed and this is a common military tactic. It wouldn't surprise me if many of the "UFOs" were actually Russian aircraft playing wargames during the cold war.
@@kimchristensen2175 So visual contact means nothing to you?
@@kimchristensen2175 you really need to look at modern military radar and sonor technology as opposed to anything 60+ years ago. There is substantial evidence, only a small fraction of which was released about the 2004 F-18 incidents and others since then, but if you also take the time to listen to their accounts and the others since then you get a much bigger picture of the much larger powderkeg of data the US military is sitting on. And no, it’s definitely not the Russians or Chinese. No country on the planet has multiple craft that can come in from space, down to sea level in mere seconds, and then back up and out again. Nope. They tracked this stuff for weeks. Multiple events. Its not just some anomaly to fit in with people’s safe space. Sorry, but no.
Ahhhh the ancient glory days: A lecture room densely packed with people.
Sadly people ruined it with licking windows.

Good perspective. +1
Well said Wendy X
This is an inspiring, yet fact driven presentation! I appreciate the fact that Dr Gaensler summarized where we are on interstellar traveling and finding life in the universe rather than just discussing theoretical physics and maths!
Thank you sooo much for summarizing it all for me!

Professor Bryan, Outstanding, I really enjoyed your lecture.
Did you know he was an astronomer? Ffs I wish I could get past his self indulgent bs but eff off life’s too short
Very good presentation spoke about latest space technology and lay persons could understand and be inspired. Great video.
This is a renowned scientist. Might not be a good talker to many people but he knows what's going on and all the basic knowledge and recent facts/findings. We are lucky to have experts like them to explore/prove what we can dream of. Enjoyed the summary/brushup of modern astronomy. G'day from Downunder.

Bryan is a genuinely fantastic person, teacher, and speaker,
This guy has a great way of lecturing! He is interesting and adds current hip stuff to show you what he means and he has a great flow! Amazing
by "current hip stuff" do you mean the irrelevant and off-topic virtue signaling?
Repent.
I used to write articles for the website of a semi-government org that funded "science projects". I got to go to presentations like this all the time and was so enthralled sometimes that I had to keep reminding myself to take notes and do my job. This guy's truly great. The audience is lucky.
Excellent presenter! Very interesting and engaging topic. Thank you!
Solar sails? Do they really want the Aliens laughing at us? Lol.
Professor Gaensler nails it. Clear understandings of why we cannot do this or that - but maybe we could do this other. Neil de Grasse Tyson - there' s a new kid on the block. I have my science heroes - and Bryan Gaensler has just become a senoir contender.
All the best to both of you - it's amazing work......
I listen to a lot of documentories and this one is by far the best I have ever viewed. I learned meny things that I have pondered over and will watch it some more times to grasp some of the things I may have missed. Thank you for hosting this and binging it to the public eye.
Just started it, hopefully it lives up to your review!
Repent.
I'm an author on the LIGO project. The explosion did not shake the universe afterward. The vibration is what's recorded just before the two neutron stars or black holes joined. This is the result of the two bodies rotating around each other as they get closer and closer. Right afterward, there is no vibration and no gravitational waves are produced from an explosion.
@@socialmeaslesinpartnership1252 Yes, I was there at the beginning of the LIGO project. I designed the 7 pick-off telescopes and the end mass telescope of the system.
I designed the optics housing for analysis of the return beam from the ultra-flat mirror at the end of the right angled vacuum tubes. I also designed the device that calibrated the flatness of the return mirrors, a process that took over a week to analyze.
I interchanged concepts and engineering data with several physicists at Caltech.
Therefore, please tell me your qualifications to question my integrity and expertise on this subject! Maybe you should read my book, Infinity, Time, Death and Thought should your intellectual capacity be capable of absorbing the information.
Would you be referring to mass cancellation sir.
you can't really blame them too much Ivan (not), They are from Ontario Canada and have their own brand of science up there. Cheers
Sir, Do you mean when neutron stars collide or black holes collide , they do not generate gravitational waves ??
No, he means that they do not explode. And the gravitational waves are generated before they merge to gether. When they do merge they do not generete then in the same amplitude. Grav waves are produced by the interaction of 2 blacj holes. Not the actual merger. Make sense?@@ilimitless
Think I’ve learnt more in this one lecture than I have all year. Although we do have jet packs.
Keep banging the rocks together guy's.
Very educational presentation for some people. Thank you 😎👍
I am better off having seen this video. Thank you.
That being said, when I was in high school a loooong time ago I was shown a picture of an atom and told this is what it looks like.
Many years later...I came to understand that we didn't actually know what it looked like.
I felt a bit betrayed, and then reflected back on the absolute arrogance of the establishment.
Be vigilant. We don't know what we don't know so please be careful stating absolutes...
Thanks again. Really enjoyed.
So true. I feel the same way when I hear people say, “... is impossible because it violates the laws of physics”. The “laws” of physics. Aren’t most of those so called “laws” just theories? Even, arguably, the most important one isn’t even a “law”, “the theory of relativity”. The “Laws” of Physics are simply the theories of physics as we understand it “now”. If “we” are unwilling to think, design and function outside of the “laws of physics”, we will continue to stagnate instead of innovating and constantly making giant leaps in technology, advancing our civilization & species, in harmony with our galactic neighbors.

From my understanding Aliens are using antigravity and they bend space like a fabric to shorten the distance from point A to point B, creating temporary wormholes to travel through. They may be interdimensional as well as interstellar.
@@Kierant2010 I've just watched The Action Lab channel do an experiment on quantum locking and I am very impressed, surely this can be used to generate clean energy?
How does this translate to space travel? Are you saying that the alien craft is a superconductor and space is the magnet?
What is your thoughts on Bob Lazar stating in the late 80s that element 115 is the fuel to these craft?
Look up the pais effect by salvatore pais and your theory will change

@Phil Silverman The tech to get a human to alpha-centauri is soo very extreme, it is likely we will find other ways to achieve our goals (or find other more valuable ones) by the time civilization gets that advanced. While its a worthy attempt and will undoubtedly have important spinoff technologies (like Alchemy to Chemistry), the attempt to get a soft bodied creature like ourselves to the EXTREMELY violent high velocities needed for interstellar travel is even more crazy than the Alchemist desire to create gold from lead. You being hit by a grain of sand at those velocities is equivalent to a Hiroshima type nuclear bomb. In the 20th century, we "could" devote a quadrillion dollars to build particle accelerators to transmute a few grams of lead into gold, but it would be a huge waste of resources when we can do so much more interesting things with that technology that Alchemists never dreamed of. Along the same line, my feeling is by the time we have technologies which could make interstellar travel possible for humans, wasting our resources to create actually realize that would be silly. Long before we can rocket to the stars, we would have very advanced telescopes that will be able to allow us to virtually examine those worlds as if we were there, and possibly quantum supercomputers that can run simulations of an encounter with known aliens to 99.9999% accuracy, making the real thing quaint and unnecessary, and possibly also less valuable, intrusive, and dangerous. If our future culture desires or needs some form of intrusive agency on the universe (which is doubtful if any kind of prime directive is developed), we may be able to send out more "disruptive" probes or even our consciousness out into the universe through some complex electromagnetic soliton propagation that would be much more effective than sending our soft bodies. Who really knows, but whatever is the case, it is unlikely to be Star Trek or Star Wars, even if fantasies along those lines will allow us to the develop the more interesting and important stuff.
A "dream drive" sounds like a viable propulsion system
@@zackbarkley7593 the weird thing is that you believe in “outer space”.
Great talk - hopeful and grounded. He covers a lot of territory and you can see how much fun the prof has in expanding our imaginations :)
Eewwwwwwwww is eseseeseeeseeeeess we es
Teleportation of humans has a big problem: The person being "sent" is deconstructed (and thus killed), while the sent image, while perhaps a perfect reconstruction of the body of the "sent" person, will be a manufactured body, a different instance, either lifeless or a potential host for a different consciousness.
EXACTLY-- the physical is easy-- the ESSENCE is impossible!! WE are not our bodies-- and this failure to be able to transport- proves that we are NOT our bodies-- we're VERY MUCH MORE...

At this rate I am going to be an old man by time Alien disclosure happens.
The most ridiculous thing about SETI is excatly what the guy said, everybody is listening and nobody transmitting. Scientists are often very well educated but utterly stupid!
And more they are listening to a frequency we don't use ourself so why aliens would use it?
And another problem we use radio since only 100 years but we are using it less and less, radio/TV/internet and communications through fiber, very directive radio signals directed towards earth and so on. So very soon radio will become obsolete and only used for special purposes.

Sounds like your lying or you dont know what you saw.
Most people have never seen a rocket launch at night. When the rocket gets illuminated by the sun people say its magic or aliens or God.
And even when you explain what they're seeing they say its magic.
You can see rocket separation and RCS thrusters engaging and people still say its magic or aliens.
You can't just say "I saw a UFO".
You need to describe it in detail. At least try to sound honest.
If YOU are going to claim you saw aliens then it's on YOU to convince people you're not a liar or a moron.
Fantastic lecture, one of the best things I've seen on CZcams.
I honestly enjoyed the lecture, very impressed. I wonder how Professor Bryan would perceive Unidentified Aerial Phenomena and Unidentified Submerged Objects and Skinwalker Ranch in Uintah County? The world is taking photographs all the time now.
Quoting Sagan on one of his greatest lines, in an astronomy lecture, without acknowledging him... that's just a no go.
Yea. Good lecture, but that bugged me too. Pay homage to our starbound dreamers who inspired us...
Noticed that too ;(
I felt more that by using the quote he was acknowledging Sagan.
For real I was like “hell ye--.... wait a minute... hmmm” how quickly one can cheapen a great lecture...
then I had reign in my judgy mind and realize that it’s probably an honest mistake.
Sagan was quoting aswell. It goes as far back as to the early 1920's...
After seeing a ufo 10 years ago, I feel annoyed that your answer to the question "yes, no, maybe?" was just a flat out 'no' it says a lot. My own experience was like a movie but it lasted 3 seconds. The 'flying saucer' I saw was being chased or followed by two fighter jets barely keeping up. It was a clear sky, bright blue mid day. But as everyone knows it's not an everyday occurrence to see what I saw. SO no I didn't have time to take any picture even though at the time I had an iPhone and could have if I was't in shock. It just happened all too quickly for me to react fast enough.

Just because we have a theorem or law that accurately describes a phenomenon, doesn't necessarily mean it is a correct representation. They are merely best fits, and if they are wrong even slightly, it can lead us down paths that may seem logical, but still wrong.
Ex: Newton's laws describe accurately the motion of bodies in space to a point, but it took a complete shift in perception to get Einstein's relativity and special relativity.
Never stopped them before. The math for the Manhattan project relayed an answer that the reflux from the implosion would be infinite. But that never stopped them. Same with CERN, its an agreed theory that there's a tiny bit more matter than anti matter, and if there was even the same amount of antimatter as matter the whole universe would implode inwards on it's self. Yet... Here we are making antimatter.
....just got to the warp drive bit and was shocked that not even a basic prototype has been built.... I regret being an Aussie interested in this field of science considering the last ten years has been a witch burning trial for anyone who speaks it.
Kudos to you mate for putting your head up on this one.
I'm tempted to write what I know, but it would be a waste.... Science in this country is treated like an Amway salesman. Started designing a concept years ago, but as I said.... Witch burning very popular here still.
@@HallonyancatThe witch burners were not burning someone with ideas of development.
The witch burners were clergies who wanted to demonstrate power.
They picked "anyone" to burn with various excuses.
In Norway in the 1600s they executed as much as 1/5 of the population in some of the farm villages of 200 people.
This was to both anchor the might of christianity and to get rid of all paganism.
Of course much of the 1600s paganism was just as dumb as monotheism but less authoritarian

This is so appropriate now that the James Webb observatory is finally about to be activated. We might well discover things like Dyson spheres where we once thought red giants were. As for space travel, 'folding space' might well be the key to interdimensional travel. In the higher dimensions, it's possible that even very distant objects are within easy reach.
I think you need to replace reading Aquinas with opening a book on actual science.
I wanted to be an astronomer. However my poor lack of math skills made that impossible. I am grateful that I can get to listen to lectures on CZcams though.

Excuses.
If the neutron stars colliding was "felt" through the entire universe - was that "shock wave" across the space time fabric at the speed of light such that it coincided with the visual observation of the neutron stars as they collided? Was the shock wave a gravitation force spike/notch tugging on the space/time fabric? Is this why you suggested a black hole was created momentarily? Why would gravity 'waves" propagate at the speed of light? Is there a connection therefore? Is the universe infinite in distance yet expanding at the same time? If so is a gravitation tug responsible for this accelerating expansion in all directions? Why is there no observable light based phenomena for this expansion force? Does phenomena in the universe share any similarities as we approach "infinitely" small and infinitely large phenomena? If so is there any commonality between black holes and this accelerating expansion force? Thanks.
Great questions and ones that I personally think have something to do with the foundations of reality. The waves from the colliding neutron stars must have been felt instantly through quantum entanglement, so there was no time delay and they were not travelling as such as light does. Just like if I held one end of a taught rope in Europe, and you held the other end in America, if I tugged the rope you would feel it instantly. Quantum entanglement I believe will unlock much more understanding into the reality of nature
Answer 1- It's a gravity wave, it moves a little slower than light, so you would actually pick it up first on the telescope, and later on the laser detectors that detect gravity waves. Quantum Entanglement has nothing to do with this Raz, we don't have any way to detect Quantum entanglement. John Bell made a great experiment, that is still not proof of it, though. Answer 2-The connection is all physical matter can only travel at the speed of light. To travel faster, one must warp space, like the Alcubierre equation, which is theoretical. Answer 3- The Universe is not infinite, it's expanding. According to Buddha, this is actually the 84th Big Bang. Answer 4- Dark Energy is responsible for the acceleration of physical matter beyond gravity. This is why we have Stars moving faster on the outer rims of galaxies. The Universe is expanding and accelerating the expansion, it's Newton's law of thermodynamics and Dark Energy. Answer 5- The light hasn't reached us yet. Answer 6-Black Holes are points of incredible mass, they don't speed up expansion, they are also too small to slow it down. It is Dark Energy that is responsible for the acceleration of expansion.
@@carloscastanheiro2933 the thing is, gravity doesn't travel. It is an effect on space time that we observe. If the universe is accelerating apart faster than the speed of light, this shows that it is not in effect travelling. Time is only subjective to us, in our frame of reference. So objects appear to be moving in time. But the true reality is everything is happening at once. This is what I'm referring to when I mention quantum entanglement, which is probably the wrong phrase for such a thing. My head starts to hurt thinking about such things, but they are fascinating none the less
@@carloscastanheiro2933 Thanks!
@@Razmatazuk Thanks! Another somewhat related question. What is the relation between trigonometry applied to 2D and 3D spaces and energy that tavels in waves that have angular velocity that is also described by trignometry? It seems that the metric space and the energy that travels within are part of the same phenomena or can be described the same way. If space and travel of energy are related does this somehow explain time and the space time fabric? Sorry for the amateur questions. I'm glad there is someone here that can answer these things in layman terms. Thanks in advance.
Great presentation. I like this guy. Might take him on my next trip to Andromeda.
Please, do. You have my enthusiastic support, I'll even release some air he can breathe along the way.
Do you have some vezon on you?
This scenario of a filled theatre for this subject matter seems unlikely. As unlikely as meeting alien life. The Perimeter Institute is very special. A special place on a special planet.
Just a curious thought upon listening. Perhaps huble type telescopes on other planets like mars or even further would be useful. Adding another body of our solar system to look at the light differences then add it to the pedabyte like messler 87a
I love watching these actual science lectures and then mixing in some far fetched type stuff and it’s crazy how over the years it starts to get closer together. Science fiction is just science we have have not proved yet

The craft is pointed perpendicular to the magnetic field of whatever star they're launching from. Depending on the mass of the star they want to decelerate at (stellar braking), the craft will launch from a certain percentage BELOW the chromosphere of the 'launch star' which allows them to come to a stop near the center of the 'brake star' at the destination. Journeys originating from very high-mass stars to very low-mass stars are possible but not typically used routes because if you're propelling from the corona of the launch star as opposed to the interior, they have to give something up....speed. The crafts speed is subject to the stellar depth it launches from while also subject to the stopping power of the brake star they're arriving at, so as not to overshoot the target destination system (star).
This was really a cool talk. Wow!

He left one faster-than-light scheme out: traversable wormholes. It was strange that he didn't mention them, because he mentioned both Kip Thorne and the movie Contact, and not only were wormholes the method of FTL travel used in that film, but Thorne suggested it to Carl Sagan when Sagan wrote the book. Also, the "hyperspace" drive used in Star Wars is closer to the wormhole idea than it is to warp drive.
Heh. That ought to get all of five views, @Drugresearcher Kappalapa.
In order to travel through a worm hole, you need some kind of force field powerful enough to deflect the gravitational field that created the worm hole.
@@thishandleistacken The idea of creating a field bubble to push your craft through space is fascinating and maybe possible. The question is, could the craft handle the stress on the hill?
Shut up..your clueless

That force with is created to pull,
Can be redirected to push, or deflect..
I can't believe I made myself watch this whole thing! I learned exactly SQUAT !!!
A good, confident, very interesting lecture. 👍
I like him he did a very good lecture a very educated man and very well spoken.
im finally using the internet in a way i can tell my kids about
Great stuff illustrated in a light-hearted manner. Thank you.
You make many valid points many of which I churned over in my own.
I actually think that extremely bright people don't like to acknowledge that they are no longer the sharpest tool in the box. Its an ego thing.
That was a long way of saying absolutely nothing
Did you see The Europa Report, Bryan? That movie scared the crap out of me and was totally fascinating!
what I find annoying is that these speakers say "the most common type of planets in the universe are these hot Jupiters..." lets clarify the statement that these are the most common ones we have been able to find with the technology and techniques for planet hunting we are using right now. smaller woulds around larger stars are harder to detect via either transit or wobble methods.
Well when they talk about anything to do with space... they are talking about stuff we have been able to find with current technology and techniques. It's just common sense that's what they mean.
@@TheMasterashton People should learn to say what they mean. Especially when they are giving public talks. Precision in the use of language is important to avoid misunderstanding. Not everyone is aware of the limits of current technology and techniques. The most common type of planets in the Universe may not be hot Jupiters at all. As much as practically possible, every statement should be qualified with the degree of certainty with which we can expect that statement to be true.
@@MrAlRats with that thinking we should slap: With current day technology and understanding of the universe infornt of everything we say....
@@teaser6089 You are right. Since common sense is a rarity today with the general public. That has to be made clear to those that dropped out of highschool and never got post secondary training. Being smart also means you have to deal with "smartasses" that believe in conspiracy theories.
So sad for the human race. Maybe that's why the "Aliens" have left us alone, come back in a hundred thousand years and see if humans survived or what lifeforms if any are left besides bacteria.
@@jerrywatson1958 I think the reason Aliens left us alone is just: What do they have to gain, we have no technology they don't, I mean they can travel faster than light so well, they are more advanced. We have no special resources on our planet that couldn't be found elsewhere.
And if they can travel faster than light, it's reasonable to assume that they can make robots that are cheaper, faster and better in everywhere that humans for manual labour, so slavery is out of the question.
Wanted: Warp drive and alien theories.
Got: Comparison of Hollywood and reality.
Well PJ at least you found the place where they do exist.
you saved me an hour thanks
Every time people see a UFO, they tend to assume that our science fictions can become a reality sometime in the future - which are all based on the imaginations of science fiction writers - warp speed, teleportation, antigravity, green aliens and Captain Kirk
He spent maybe two minutes total on warp drives, lol
@@joekey8464 If the blue alien females look like the ones on Star Trek and Farscape I'm all in (and available).
I saw a red light in the night sky a couple weeks ago. it slowly moved around in an odd way, after around a minute or two of this it shot off in a streak of white light. One of the most surreal things I’ve ever seen and immediately made me realise the reality of “science fiction”.. this shit really exists
You're right it does exist and our government has it and a bunch of other places have it Russia has it they can disappear you they can fucking go from one place they can teleport all right like I can prove it I can give you the information so you can find out for yourself
@@jamesanton5681 can you prove that punctuation exists
phoenix lights is really compelling cause thousands of people saw it
We have all seen speculative information about warp drives. But what about drive systems that may allow us to move around our solar system in realistic time periods? I would like to see a video on research into ways to acheive 25%-50% light speed. I have never found much information on this subject.
He says oumuamua is cigar shaped but we dont know that. It also has the same profile as a rotating disk.
Always always look to nature when looking for solutions to seemingly impossible problems. When we do so we find that what appears to be incredibly important in nature is spin, and the complex spiralling vortex motion that everything in nature appears to follow... There is a reason a flying saucer is the shape that it is. The challenge before us is not technological, it is philosophical and ideological. We will first need to change our way of thinking about how nature and therefore the universe work.
Yes
I noticed he said you can travel faster than 50% the speed of light. Wouldn't 2 objects moving towards one another at 50% the speed of light be moving relative to one another AT the speed of light?
Obviously this guy doesn't know what the hell he's talking about because they can already teleport
It's unfortunate the presenter doesn't mention that Oumuamua changed in luminosity during it's transit by a large degree. Likely due to rotation and reflection off of its flat side but it does promote some fun speculation. I believe the image he showed of Oumuamua was computer generated and we didn't actually get any close up photos of it. I recommend watching interviews with Avi Loab, Harvard director of something that I can't remember. He's passionate about the topic and provides more detail.
Have you read his critics? Loeb. Do that first please.
Excellent speech about how science fiction is becoming a science fact in this days and days to come.God bless you.
Maybe one day there will be compelling evidence for your fiction god
Great talk. I also am a SciFi lover. You also had towards the end of the StarGate the tv series, (which was never mentioned), they had wormholes and borrowed technology, they referred to as FTL ( Faster Than Light) drives. Also most these different space ships throughout science fiction, had force fields that provided protection from not just phaser and proton torpedoes, but provided a more practical protection, which was against those pesky dust particles.
Stargate is teleportation, a paralell universe or bending spacetime.
Wormholes are bending spacetime.
FTL would break physics :) and in fact you can't really travel at 100% c , just 99.9 and keep adding 9s
@@jesusislord6545 Repent?
The main problem is getting enough energy for some shield, even a simple EM field and for propulsion or the bending of spacetime. Most shows have some magic to get around it, eg. Dilithium Crystals or stolen magical stargates. If we can have a nearly infinity power source most of the problems go away. It is the primary limitation regardless of techniques used such as the ones you mention.
I wonder if nuclear spin alignment at near zero temp of some heavy isotope using super conducting magnets could be used as a way to bend space. They are experimenting with making gyroscopes with nuclear spin alignment in diamonds. How much angular momentum is available to work with?
Type of content I live for 🥰
5:20 that book was released 1979 two years before the space shuttle. Crazy it shows the shuttle the arm it deploying payload into space.
The Canadarm program to develop the shuttle arm to be used for payload deployment and retrieval was put on contract by NASA in 1975, the basic concept for the arm, was shown in the project proposal that was submitted months earlier. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadarm
One of my favorite sci-fi books is "The Forever War" and it tackles time dilation in a very clever way. It's an allegory of the Vietnam War.
READ THAT BACK IN THE 80'S BEST SCI FI BOOK EVER
Very good book of Joe Haldeman, I totally recommend to read it!
@@chef2pouf weirdly I just started reading it today. Kind of put off by the militarism so far, not that it's unexpected of course, but will persist
Tony Evans yes the military part is not the best, the hero is endearing though
good book
Really enjoyed this lecture, the question that I would have liked to ask is - do you think that AI would be able to solve many of the problems associated with warp drive development, and also detecting planets that could sustain life, and of course detecting aliens.
It was one of best treats I have had in my life todate
Yes, robots comunícate with each other for 3 yrs now. They follow INCREDIBLE programa and evolve at quantica speeds. We just need to feed them programa and data.
We detect aliens all the time. We don't need AI for that. There was just video of the United States navy encountering a UAP recently
@@marinaclarasanchezsuarez2905 The AI database builds on information from humans to begin with, which means that it is best at doing "ground work" and effectivizing communication.
That could be the dangerous or tiresome or expensive we would do less of.
There are some dangers with AI as well which the romantics seem to be too simplistic to fathom.
Not to exaggerate it of course.
This is always a problem with idealists
What if black holes were natural shortcuts in spacetime and we could some how navigate through them with some kind of map system to get to systems light-years away in record time ?
Super cool a magnet and it levitates and can warp around the environment, less friction also so obviously it doesn't over heat and explode.
There is anti gravity technology that uses a stable isotope of element 115 as the fuel
“To Serve Man” LMAO!!
ITS A COOKBOOK!!!!!!!! XD
I can't even remember where that reference is from but I do know it was hilarious. If only I had a device capable of summoning almost any information....Wait...
AH the twilight zone, how could I forget :)
I can somewhat understand 'folding space'.. but if you were to do that, wouldn't that have a significant effect on the space between A and B? Meaning, everything being folded will probably be annihilated, turning mass into energy in a massive explosion, which in turn have a considerable effect on the 'universe' as a whole?
Actually, there a few books written in the 1974 (and then in the 90's) by Joe Haldeman that not only features time dilation is but is it the key phenomenon that shapes everything that happens, the first was called The Forever War, followed by others in the 90's. So, Intersteller was very late in the game.
One of the best Hard Science Fiction novels ever written.
@@redslatePeople who think Interstellar is science are usually the majority of the sci fi audience.
I don't have to say more than that I think.
Let's just say that Star Trek is a slight touch farther into the woo world.
They however didnt set out to make it seem otherwise.
@KibyNykraft We talking 'bout _The_ _Forever_ _War_ ...
The wait for him to actually start talking about warp drive warped my mind.
ha ha ha
The presenter made an error when he pronounced Dr. Miguel Alcubierre's surname; he mispronounced it as Alcubee-err which would be correct if the surname came from France. I have researched the origins of Alcubierre, and it's of Spanish origin, and in Spanish (I have learned to speak Spanish), the last vowel is always pronounced, thus Alcubierre is correctly pronounced Alcubee-err-eh.
There was also an omission in the presentation on the Alcubierre (pronounced Alcubee-err-eh) Drive; Dr. Alcubierre used Einstein's General Relativity (this is the theory that models gravity as a warping of space-time around an object with mass, and deals with accelerating frames of reference) partial differential mathematical model, to find a solution for the 1D (1 dimensional) case, to demonstrate that it's theoretically possible to generate a localized space-time warp field, to allow a star ship to travel without moving because it's the localized space-time warp field that can move faster than the speed of light, carrying the star ship within this field.
The idea for a localized space-time warp field that can travel faster than the speed of light, came from the Hyperinflationary model of the expansion of the Universe, worked out by theoretical physicists such as Dr Alan Guth. In this model, after the Big Bang the Universe's 'fabric' or framework of space-time expanded much faster than the speed of light. This was devised to explain why the Universe looks like the way it does as we currently see it. The basic idea is the faster than light expansion of space-time, allowed Quantum Mechanical fluctuations in the density of the energy-matter plasma mix to be 'locked in', and the initially 'grainy' texture of the varying density from vacuum to the energy-matter plasma mix expanded resulting in the current Universe, in which the energy-matter mix is not uniformly distributed throughout the Universe, but the energy-matter mix is localized into regions with vast voids in-between these localized regions. One good way to visualize this, is the 'soap bubble' Universe model, where the surface of the bubbles are the localized regions where the energy-matter mix is traced out as galaxies, and the space inside these bubbles are the vast dark voids, in which Astronomers have found no signs of any energy (i.e. no gamma rays, X-rays, Ultraviolet light, visible light, infra red light, radio waves) or matter at all.
ya a wee bit too self absorbed, as if everyone is there to hear his bio...
I love ❤️ and live astronomy 🪐 each evening it’s totally worth asking what’s happening in our universe !!!!
A movie like this can be thought of as conjecture, or a hypothesis geared toward our needs.
In some sense, as Feynman had said, the scientific process can involve taking guess and working from there.
So, art can be a type of initial scientific process, I suppose
Well let me put it instead like this : Once you have innovated a functional system for a use in society, that is a kind of (figurative) art.
Before that you must be creative enough. But you must be able to translate that into something physical that actually relates to real nature.
If not ,it will never be an innovation.
On the side of that, you will have those esoterics who never actually developed anything but still want to tell the world how the functional and applied tech of others allegedly works. :)
It's like the high point of stubborn superstitions.
I can assure you that both SpaceX rockets and the NASA EM drive and the USSS...orbiter vessels had no use of the postmodern "physics" philosophers.
@@KibyNykraft Right. "Taking a guess" should and must include starting with agreed upon facts, first.
@@russchadwell Facts that are possible to verify for others ,so that anyone will make an investment and something is actually produced yes :)
@@KibyNykraft true!

My wife calls me Mr Dick when she's mad...
I have to say this video was a bit of a let down. The title is "Warp Drive and Aliens" and all he really says about warp drives is "pfft. they'll probably never work".
Maybe because they won't? Reality is what it is and translation (either travel or communication) FTL is simply impossible, period. And if the physics didn't say that, the Fermi Objection would be strong evidence for it anyway. Because if it were possible, others long ago would have invented it, and they would already be not only here but everywhere.
@@oldionus actually it is far more plausible that he says, other scientists have figured out that literally the only issue for the last one he says won't work is that he mentioned an outdated version of the theory and the fact he forgot of they have found ways that might be able to create that effect
You are a good guy
I found this was quite educating and honestly he explained in such a simple way
@@oldionus you mistake possibility with capability
