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.
Luther Nilsen 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.)
The sad thing is, as I write this, everyone in this comment section now won't live to see major interstellar travel like in this video. Lets just enjoy our life as it is and move on.
Meatis O'Malley I'm not saying that you're not going to be an astronaut. I'm just saying that don't expect to be flying to other galaxies or solar systems.
Tudor Brown 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.
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
I know, I think the reason why is takes more time for him to upload even compared to Vsauce, is even though they both have pretty high production value. I Vsauce3 has a bit more production value.

This video with the space man, it looks good. Makes my eyes cry, man. I work in the coal mines, so there isn't much beauty I see in a day, but this, this changed my day. I feel pretty happy.

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.
Video tape lol... Video tapes are quickly becoming extinct even in this generation. What makes you think in 20,000 years, even IF someone returned with a video tape, or even a DVD, that the civilizations on Earth would have the equipment to play it? You know VCRs are quickly becoming extinct, right? When there are no more VCR's you cannot view tapes. Same will happen to all machines that can run DVD's.

I'd just be terrified of becoming obsolete, as 20,000 years from now humanity may very well have developed some form of travel that lets us break the light barrier. My journey would not only have been forgotten, but pointless as well
If you somehow manage to break the speed of light, not only you would not be able to see things, because light cant catch up to you, but you would create so freaking much energy your body would turn into a black hole. Its sad, but hey we still have plenty of Space Left haha
If anybody is more curious about the "light cone" it's called Minkowski inequality. It changes your perspective of what is present and past and introduces you to special relativity.
By the way Jake, I'd just like to thank you for talking about this kind of stuff. Space is just... one of my favorite, if not my favorite topics out there. How humans would deal with it, speculating on ways it can be done better, learning about everything its vastness holds. I'm 16 right now, and it's what I'm planning on spending my life doing. So, space Jake. Have a happy 24 years, and let it be known that whoever put you on that ship was an idiot for not sending at least 2 or 3 people along with you.
The Cosmos Well, no, I don't know the equation. I'm sure that you can find it if you look into special relativity though. All I knew is that I forgot to think about it, and I was expecting him to say 10,000 years.
Thank you for pointing out the fact that a piece of space junk the size of a BB could obliterate the whole ship. It's one of the biggest issues to look at when talking interstellar travel. Now, there are other issues, like the time dilation, but that's the biggy.
not depressing, it's inviting new ideas, so far we can't do it, if you can think of it, it's not impossible. it's only depressing if you accept it as an inevitability. sure it's likely that there are things we can't do, or that aren't possible, but it's never too late to keep trying. it's supposed to be inspiring, not depressing. i hope you watch it again and see what i see. you heard jake near the end, he's going to keep trying, and that's the point. well, that's what i got from it.
Jake, I just wanted to tell you that you're amazing. Watching one of your videos is like getting a surprise present from a friend... yeah I don't go out much.
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.
Normal spacetravel is ...fucked..because the time dialation(hope its right word the right word in english)...only hope is Alcubierre Drive and Wormeholes, or maybe some sort of Hyperspacejumpdrive.. Hope Einstein was wrong..
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
+FotY well if matter and energy share a relation which they do so if we discovered matter with negative mass which we actually did then I wouldn't see why we wouldn't discover negative energy P.s I'm not certain but a tetracehdon particle(I'm sure I spelled it wrong actually has negative mass)
Jake's dead in two ways: at the end of the video, he accelerates the ship rapidly. I treated that as effectively committing suicide by using his ship as a weapon. His inability to handle the alone and traveling to the abyss... killed him.
the depressing thing is, what if we aren't able to get to the point of interstellar travels, before the human race is wiped out? What do we all have lived for?
Jake is going 99% the speed of life on earth, but relative to him his going 0% the speed of light. To him he is not even moving. this is why astrophysics gets me.
how come? you can walk around in a bus and feel as though you're walking on solid ground (Just pretend you're on a perfect road with the driver's foot being perfectly still) Jake is simply going faster than you on the bus, so what part is it that gets you?
Astrophysics deals with the physics of planet, stars, black holes and a bunch of other stuff. Dealing with the speed of light isn't really an astrophysics thing.
...but if you pack efficiently you can carry more stuff in the same space, which means your luggage has higher density overall and more mass. That's the opposite of travelling "light", that's travelling "heavy".
Very good video Jake, the quality of your videos has increased dramatically and one can see the passion you have for making them. Keep doing what you're doing :)

Ben Hammond Yep. Black holes do, but they're just hyperdense chunks of matter, no physically-impossible breaches in the chain of cause and effect there.
Amperzand We are stuck, but only with our current understanding of physics. We could be wrong. In fact, we probably are. In our thousands of years of recorded history we were completely wrong nearly all of the time, so why should we assume that now is so special and what we know now is correct?
Inotamira Orani yep still waiting for a scifi, that acknowledges this little problem. another one like this for time travel... travel 1 second in time, you end up in space, because the planet, solarsystem and galaxy has moved a metric fuckton in that time, so every time machine would also have to be an extreme teleporter or something but hey, the more strange problems, the better the scifi in my eyes.
what would happen if we sent a person into space to a distant solar system and then in the thousands of years that they'd be gone, we create a much faster form of travel and send a second person out and the second person gets to the destination before the first...?
Omid Tajik Ooooooo actually that gives me an idea for a story. it'd be where earth receives signals from a far away planet and we create the tech to send the ship off. much like in my example, later tech comes about that lets us travel faster than before. but in the story, its a time altering drive that instead of "faster" it merely sends them backwards in time as they travel instead of forwards and so the second craft gets to the planet and its uninhabited. there are enough crew members alive to start a civilization and eventually they grow to forget earth as their place or origin and their civilization grows to be about the same tech levels of earth. eventually they start searching for life on other planets.... and earth discovers some of those signals... which were the original signals earth discovered when they sent the first craft (since the second went back in time) and eventually the first craft arrives on the planet were the well established human colonists reside.. *wants to write a book now* *probably will never write a book on this*
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.
+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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Can someone explain why it would from Jake's perspective take only 28 years and not 20,000. Like what is the calculation he used to come to that number.
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.
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?
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
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
+Vensey Ness computers were theoretical until someone built one. So do alcubierre-white warp drives. They could be built in the future, maybe centuries from now, but most likely before the end of the 21st century. Technology moves fast, we don't know what it will do and when.
mistertizio Well, duh. I'm not saying it'll never happen, nor am I trying to put a date on how soon it could. I'm just saying that beyond getting to 99.99% C, this video was about proven stuff.
wait, if alpha centauri is 4.3 light years away then how will 20000 years be passed on earth on ur return trip when ur travelling 99.5 % at the speed of light?
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.
Alexander Dennis Yeah me neither. I left a comment on Jake Chudnow's RUclips channel asking if he or anyone in that comments section could identify it. Haven't heard back yet.

It's been years and I still often watch this video when I go to sleep. For some reason Jake and Micheal's voices work great on my brain to destress.
"10,000 light years in 14 years at 99.99% C" "What? Jake, I think you're miscal-" "Relativity!" "Oh, yeah, relativity."
By the way Jake, I'd just like to thank you for talking about this kind of stuff.
Space is just... one of my favorite, if not my favorite topics out there.
How humans would deal with it, speculating on ways it can be done better, learning about everything its vastness holds. I'm 16 right now, and it's what I'm planning on spending my life doing. So, space Jake. Have a happy 24 years, and let it be known that whoever put you on that ship was an idiot for not sending at least 2 or 3 people along with you.

do you know the calculation he used to get that answer? I guess the way i thought you calculated it was wrong.
+BitCritic don't be a keyboard warrior kid
The Cosmos
Well, no, I don't know the equation. I'm sure that you can find it if you look into special relativity though. All I knew is that I forgot to think about it, and I was expecting him to say 10,000 years.
Thank you for pointing out the fact that a piece of space junk the size of a BB could obliterate the whole ship. It's one of the biggest issues to look at when talking interstellar travel. Now, there are other issues, like the time dilation, but that's the biggy.

Ohhhhh!?!?
i'm always in awe of how beautiful these videos look-- as well as the incredible information, of course!
Damn, this is somehow depressing.
not depressing, it's inviting new ideas, so far we can't do it, if you can think of it, it's not impossible. it's only depressing if you accept it as an inevitability. sure it's likely that there are things we can't do, or that aren't possible, but it's never too late to keep trying. it's supposed to be inspiring, not depressing. i hope you watch it again and see what i see. you heard jake near the end, he's going to keep trying, and that's the point. well, that's what i got from it.

It's actually awesome
This video was purely just amazing the special effects jake himself everything was just brilliant
Next year is yours..
I'm liking this comment because Liverpool is the best
My only problem is that the galaxy at 4:00 is spinning in the wrong direction
One of my most favourite video from Jake yet.
When are we gonna give him the Netflix series he so rightly deserves?
Some channels just feed you information, but Jake puts on a show.
Jake, I just wanted to tell you that you're amazing.
Watching one of your videos is like getting a surprise present from a friend... yeah I don't go out much.
1:56 well played, Jake. very well played.
I have watched this video so many times I could watch a move. But it feels like I just watched one. Thank you, Jake.
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.
Normal spacetravel is ...fucked..because the time dialation(hope its right word the right word in english)...only hope is Alcubierre Drive and Wormeholes, or maybe some sort of Hyperspacejumpdrive..
Hope Einstein was wrong..
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
onyx1186
It would take negative energy, which we dont discoverd yet.
Warp travel is theoretically possible, as soon as we find out how the hell we interact with antimatter. =P
+FotY well if matter and energy share a relation which they do so if we discovered matter with negative mass which we actually did then I wouldn't see why we wouldn't discover negative energy
P.s I'm not certain but a tetracehdon particle(I'm sure I spelled it wrong actually has negative mass)
So Jake uploaded this from so 10,000 ly away. Jake is dead now. :(
28-year round-trip mission for him. He's alive but you won't be. ;)
Basically, from Earth's perspective Jake lives for over 20,000 years.
Damn
F
Jake's dead in two ways: at the end of the video, he accelerates the ship rapidly. I treated that as effectively committing suicide by using his ship as a weapon. His inability to handle the alone and traveling to the abyss... killed him.
@@revolver265 That is a pretty interesting thought, even though you didn't see the ship accelerating, so you can't know for sure.
That was...surprisingly depressing...and now I'm depressed.
Thinks of boobs guys...think of boobs
That only makes me more depressed
you are very correct, that was oddly depressing...
the depressing thing is, what if we aren't able to get to the point of interstellar travels, before the human race is wiped out? What do we all have lived for?
2016 has been depressing for Jake indeed.
We need a full Vsauce movie
Jake is going 99% the speed of life on earth, but relative to him his going 0% the speed of light. To him he is not even moving. this is why astrophysics gets me.
light**
how come?
you can walk around in a bus and feel as though you're walking on solid ground (Just pretend you're on a perfect road with the driver's foot being perfectly still)
Jake is simply going faster than you on the bus, so what part is it that gets you?
+The warm embrace of a noose -The black science man
Astrophysics deals with the physics of planet, stars, black holes and a bunch of other stuff. Dealing with the speed of light isn't really an astrophysics thing.
+MrAntieMatter It's more of a general physics thing, look into general and special relativity of you really want to know more about this stuff.

Who else thought this was a vid on packing efficiently
I died when I read your comment.
...but if you pack efficiently you can carry more stuff in the same space, which means your luggage has higher density overall and more mass. That's the opposite of travelling "light", that's travelling "heavy".

wormholes literally fixes all of these issues
But also don't exist.
Ben Hammond
Yep. Black holes do, but they're just hyperdense chunks of matter, no physically-impossible breaches in the chain of cause and effect there.
You're right, but that doesn't stop us from searching. That's how we find new things, after all.
Jake Long
I didn't say we should stop searching, we just need to get used to the fact that we're stuck with the hard way.
Amperzand We are stuck, but only with our current understanding of physics. We could be wrong.
In fact, we probably are. In our thousands of years of recorded history we were completely wrong nearly all of the time, so why should we assume that now is so special and what we know now is correct?
This video quality and production are INSANELY good.
Jake you are the BEST.
Which is just one of the reasons that the only good space travel would be made with a worm hole. If possible.
I certainly hope so.
That's interesting.
+Jamie Causon cool name
warp would be fine too, but don't use it near a planet please.
Inotamira Orani yep still waiting for a scifi, that acknowledges this little problem.
another one like this for time travel... travel 1 second in time, you end up in space, because the planet, solarsystem and galaxy has moved a metric fuckton in that time, so every time machine would also have to be an extreme teleporter or something
but hey, the more strange problems, the better the scifi in my eyes.
what would happen if we sent a person into space to a distant solar system and then in the thousands of years that they'd be gone, we create a much faster form of travel and send a second person out and the second person gets to the destination before the first...?
than either travel to him which would be almost imposable or he'll get the in a couple of 1000's of years lmao
We would probably pick the poor guy up that is driving the slow spacecraft
We'd probably leave him there.
darcraven01
xdddd
Omid Tajik Ooooooo actually that gives me an idea for a story. it'd be where earth receives signals from a far away planet and we create the tech to send the ship off. much like in my example, later tech comes about that lets us travel faster than before. but in the story, its a time altering drive that instead of "faster" it merely sends them backwards in time as they travel instead of forwards and so the second craft gets to the planet and its uninhabited. there are enough crew members alive to start a civilization and eventually they grow to forget earth as their place or origin and their civilization grows to be about the same tech levels of earth. eventually they start searching for life on other planets.... and earth discovers some of those signals... which were the original signals earth discovered when they sent the first craft (since the second went back in time) and eventually the first craft arrives on the planet were the well established human colonists reside..

*probably will never write a book on this*

Jake roper back at it again with the amazing cinematograph.
What if you sent through a worm hole. And got to that one place in a instant. Will it still be the same..?
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.
But either way, mass is energy so they should be able to transport us
+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.
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
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.

What is wrong with the big "NO BILLS" warning on the ship.....
so the faster you go the slower you age?
Yeah, man. Thats why running is good for you XD
ahh, that explains why Sonic literally doesn't age
marcy唯美 😱 You actually might be right about that.
juan lopez yeah but why?
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.
I love coming back to this video. Idk how many times ive watched it since it was uploaded.
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.
Yeah thought about that too, there is something we are missing
WE NEED A SMART PERSON
Time moves at a slower pace for the people inside the ship.
I think it is because the slowdown is not linear, but more like a Hyperbolic cosine mathworld.wolfram.com/InverseHyperbolicCosine.html
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

Correction, time is wibbly wimey time stuff
I probably said that wrong
Wibbly wobbly, timey wimey stuff.
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.

Can someone explain why it would from Jake's perspective take only 28 years and not 20,000.
Like what is the calculation he used to come to that number.
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)
physics.stackexchange.com/questions/215175/time-dilation-linear-or-exponential-or-other
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.
E=MC^2
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.
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?
It's explained in the video?
Need to know too ✋🏻
The faster you travel the heavier you get, thats why we can never travel faster than the speed of light because photons dont have mass
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
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

mistertizio
Well, duh. I'm not saying it'll never happen, nor am I trying to put a date on how soon it could. I'm just saying that beyond getting to 99.99% C, this video was about proven stuff.
+Vensey Ness yeah i understand.
wait, if alpha centauri is 4.3 light years away then how will 20000 years be passed on earth on ur return trip when ur travelling 99.5 % at the speed of light?
Time dilation due to relativistic effects.
I think that while 4.3 years passes on earth, (or 8.6 years round trip) aboard the ship the journey only feels a few hours long.
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.
