      @PaulZeroSolis 8 лет назад +43

      I need to be brief, as the act of sending this back to the year 2016 requires more energy than your time could output in an entire century. In the year 3168, the warp drive is discovered. I will be attempting to send back plans, but I fear the energy required will be far too large. This message alone requires the total energy output of 7 Terran-sun-sized stars. Hopefully this makes it back from the year 3169. The warp drive MUST be made earlier, for the sake of our species.

      Wow 3129? I didn't know we could do that back then. Well nowadays we know that tampering with the past did some bad stuff so now we keep information transfer on a minimum. I don't think this century is ready for warp drive just yet not to mention the closest exo won't develop by the time they warp there so it'd be pointless.

      Have you honestly forgotten the Great Nuking of 2360? It all happened because of overpopulation. Inventing the Warp Drive Earlier would enable the avoidance of that mess. (True, it would mean we'd have to use more energy to transfer this data to them, but we can directly harness the energy output from stars, so it's not much of an issue.)

      Oh, certainly. My view, however, is that if we simply say "It won't happen soon, everybody relax", it'll either take millennia to be developed, or never happen as our civilization falls down around us before then. However, if a concerted effort is made, there could be considerable progress made even within our century, and with progress accelerating onward into the future.

    • @samade9
      @samade9 8 лет назад

      Amperzand I highly doubt we would make any progress this century that would bring us leaps and bounds loser to interstellar travel. I mean it will take until mid century before travelling to mars becomes sort fo the norm like travelling to the moon was

    it's sad to think that EVEN IF someone traveled to another planet and contacted an alien civilization AND safely returned home, the earth might have changed so much in the mean time that the mission would have been long forgotten or the civilization that commissioned it long gone, overthrown, or broken into other countries by civil war. When that space man returns, no one will believe his story, but hopefully he will have enough evidence to convince whoever the current generation is.

But i will be the first human that visits another planet, a record nobody will ever break again and even if one day someone traveled to the other end of the universe, i was the first on another planet. I will be the first man that steps on Mars and will leave my mark before i die there. Pissing, shitting or licking, this planet will be mine.

    I don't believe humans will ever send a manned ship to another star system using conventional travel. Even at the speed of light, the time it would take to get there would be so long it's probable that we will discover a better form of space travel long before it ever arrives. Travel such as wormholes or warp travel.

      yes time dilation is correct and Einstein is not wrong but it may be possible to use worm holes... but even in maths it is unstable and would take a huge amount of energy to keep open and there is little certainty that we would be in our universe after going through, provided that we can keep it open once inside

    • @toffeesky6227
      @toffeesky6227 8 лет назад +47

      Worm holes are highly theoretical. And if they do exist, they may not function the way we think that do. They may only transport energy, not mass, or they may crush travelling objects like blackholes do. But if they are real and work like we hope, then travel between spaces would be near instantaneous.

    • @SaraBearRawr0312
      @SaraBearRawr0312 8 лет назад +6

      +Kwsths while mass and energy are one and the same, information is totally different. Theoretically your mass and its potential energy would go through without a problem but the information needed to reconstruct you as "you" may not go through so you might end up on the other side as a clump of elemental particles. Information isnt just radio signals, information is with everything. To properly create an instant copy of myself, i would need precise measurments of the state, location, and vector of all the particles of my making. I would need to know the precise location in space and time my stomach is and how its attached to my esophagus. We can write this info down obviously but how can you transmit that as "instructions" when your body gets to the other side? Basically, if wormholes are just a hole you walk through then there'd be no problem but if they move just energy then theres probably close to 0 chance youd be okay on the other side. IE: Dead.

    • @kwsths5242
      @kwsths5242 8 лет назад

      TJW595 But what if energy moves through the wormwhole without being distorted? Then we would get to the other side already "assembled"
      But indeed, if energy gets distrorted while passing through a wormwhole then I can't think of a way to get on the other side in one piece

    • @SaraBearRawr0312
      @SaraBearRawr0312 8 лет назад +3

      Kwsths
      The ideal theory of a wormhole would pretty much be one that doesnt distort, in that way it would basically just be a mirror that you step through - A literal open doorway between two parts of space. The problem is how big would it be? Would it be big enough for a human to step through? A ship? Or just barely big enough for a hydrogen atom to pass through. I love the theoretics behind wormholes but due to theyre being just so damn theoretical its just as likely that they would be near useless to us as it is they would be a leap forward in human space exploration and assuming that our particles wouldnt be distorted then im hoping for the latter.

      The time and space inside the spaceship is different from the time and space on the outside. It's a time capsule in a sense. Nothing inside is unchanged. You will experience time from your perspective which is much slower that what is going on outside the ship.

  • @ZautosMC

    So what i have trouble understanding is if I move at 99.99% of the speed of light and it takes 28 years my time but 20k years for every one ells. It sounds like you would move slower then 99% of the speed of light for every one ells.
    20k/28=714 So the trip takes 714 times longer for people put side the ship then inside it. So for them i should move at 99.99/714=0.14% of the speed of light.
    I don't get it. If you can explain it plz do.

      @JoeCreator 8 лет назад +5

      If it takes 20,000 years to reach a destination from Earth at 0.9999c then for the person standing on earth that is correct. The person in the ship however experiences time differently as time goes slower the faster you go so for him it is only 28 years

      Time is a dimension that we travel on. If you move faster, it may take you five minutes to reach a moment (a point on the fourth axis), but it would take somebody else 1 hour, very similarly to the function of speed in the first 3 dimensions. The complicated bits are when aging becomes an issue.

    • @kwsths5242
      @kwsths5242 8 лет назад +7

      Because the faster you move through space the slower you move through time
      It's called time dilation (Type "time dilation formula" on google images and you'll see how he got to that number)

      Light does not experience time. From our perspective light travels at a certain speed, but from the perspective of light it reaches its destination instantaneously. That is why light speed is a limit. Even at 99% of the speed of light it would still take a significant number of human years to travel any great distance through space.

      Time is relative to the speed that you are travelling. The closer you get to travelling at C (the speed of light), will mean that time passes slower for you.

  • @noodleb2248

    Wish Jake would have attempted to explain why 28000 years would have passed compared to your 14 year journey. Can someone please explain. I know a good bit about space and I know that strong gravity slows time compared to the rest of space outside the gravitational force (I dont know why though), BUT I have never heard that traveling faster affect your time. Why and how?

    • @orionh7201
      @orionh7201 8 лет назад

      Because every star we see around us is the past, the image earth would see of the spacecraft would be the past. So earth would not only see the past, but every time the ship moves further it takes a longer time to get to earth, making the journey appear longer

    • @Nerdtron93
      @Nerdtron93 8 лет назад +11

      Special relativity, if you throw a ball at X speed on a moving train at Y speed, that ball travels X relative to you, but X+Y speed to an outsider in a steady frame of reference, special relativity proposes that if say, you threw a ball of light, at the speed of light, it travels at the speed of light to both you AND the outsider, i.e, X+Y and X are both the same. This is done by time dilation which is the faster you go slower time is, so with speed as distance over time, X+Y is say light speed = 4 units in 1 second so 4ups and train is 1 unit in 1 second so 1 ups, looks like 5 ups total to ousider but for you that 4 units really only takes 0.8 seconds, so its still 4 ups

      He was not travelling to Alpha Centauri, but to an Alien planet located some 10'000 light years away on the other side of the Galaxy.
      At 99.9% speed of light, it would only feel like 4 months travel for him to Alpha Centauri, and another 4 months back.
      But all his relatives will have aged 8.6 years relative to him.
