I love how different universes explain space travel. Mass Effect's Relays, Star Wars' Hyperspace, Halo's Slipspace. Makes me yearn for us to figure out how to do it in our own universe.
I completely agree, whether it be slipspace or wormholes, it’s starting to logically seem this kind of tech is the only way to spread out into space without it taking generations to get there - or worse, the people you leave behind have aged twice as fast while you were away. Interstellar has a really interesting take on the effects of time dilation.
Something to note: Slipspace in halo is heavily based upon real theories of higher dimensional planes that take into account enigmatic physics like causality and spatial reconciliation (paradoxes); theoretical proposals like Heim/M theory, Einstien-Rosen bridges, string and hyperspace theory are to some degree prevalent in Halo's universe in terms of how those laws would dictate rules in practice. This is evident in how slipspace is portrayed in the lore, but with obvious alterations for the sake of interest.
I too was going to say that most of these underlying mechanics are well studied in the field of theoretical physics, but we have no idea how to bend spacetime on a whim without sacrificing an entire galaxy’s worth of energy.
LeTtRrZ well yes, that’s why it’s fiction. It’s only loosely based on possibilities and theoretical physics, which Halo takes advantage of to make esoteric scenery and lore that at times sounds otherworldly or angelic, but at the same times manages to keep it in a believable grey area. That’s probably the biggest reason I enjoy reading the books since I can *with reason* see how most things are not just stated to sound wildly impossible for the sake of making technology in the universe seem powerful or wondrous. Whilst it is wondrous and powerful no doubt, and likely impossible, the effort involved in making the mechanics of halo feel closer to reality than it would otherwise be without good story telling and explanation. It’s the difference between series like Star Trek, Star Wars or Warhammer 40k (where words don’t correlate to actual meaning in practice or known physics is thrown out the window entirely simply to further establish a plot or to make context more interesting) is to say something like The Expanse (where it feels everything is paid attention to detail in almost every sense of the word to build a world that looks and sounds realistic and reasonable). I think halo has a near perfect balance of elements between these, if at times inconsistent.

Stellaris has one other annoyance and it's with origins. If you choose scion, hegemon, federation, remnants, or any other origin that deals with your civilization previously or currently coming into contact with another space faring civilization, you will still get the pop up for discovering new habitable worlds. It's as if, despite my empire being in union with 2 other ones, it's a shock to researchers life exist outside Sol, Alpha Centauri, and Bernard. Or you know, when you were once a galaxy spanning empire but now live on a relic world and you still get this pop up. Perhaps remnants would work better if it's back story was that your people completely forgot about their interstellar empire, but it's not. Ugh

To be honest slip space is more realistic than people think, and could be more fact, than fiction, but that is just me. Also there is other things to take in account. Then you have star roads witch could be artificial slip space. Again my opinion, but possible.
I agree with u! Their are many physicist who think their are other dimensions like slip space outside our known four! And for me and I suspect many others like u it’s not that hard to imagine that a dimension like that could very well exist and in 500 years given all the technological advancements that we’ve figured out how to travel through it.. but their are many skeptics in the comments who have a very closed mind and immediately rule it out as pseudoscience and impossible just because we don’t currently understand it.. so sad.. That’s why I keep an open mind!
@@hunter_thespy1233 well! I can't agree with you more!.... If you think about if we could figure out how to control gravity. Then it would be possible to master light based travel. To be honest light based travel is all we need to get to solar systems a couple of light years away. Also if I remember correctly, our solar system, and many others orbit the center of the Galaxy. So if you can create a straight line warm hole then you can try to prdect where that solar system will be, and aim your star ship to the spot where the solar system is going to be at it's closets spot to ours, and go.

Also have to remember the stars you see at night is what they looked like a year ago if it's a light year away star. If 10 light years away, then that's what it looked like 10 years ago, and where it was 10 years ago.

So magnets... and a inch thick, or center meter thick are of water, both. If both then water behind the magnetic field, and something to keep it from messing with everything else.
Yeah, traveling faster than light would be impossible because you need to reduce the ships mass to 0, which may be possible but no, slipspace makes more sense because you bend space, idk how the hell you would do that but it makes more sense. And then again, the shield is probably 100 years away or something like that.
There's even theories and very early designs for faster than light travel using our current understanding of physics called alcubierre drives. Basically they use dark matter & energy to create a bubble of regular space and a portion of expanding spacetime behind the spacecraft and a portion of contracting spacetime ahead of it which would make it perpetually "fall forwards" in space. There would be no length contraction or time dilation because the spacecraft would still be in stable space, in fact relative to the bubble of space surrounding it the spacecraft doesn't move at all. Unfortunately we only have a very basic understanding of dark matter/energy and we don't know how to produce either let alone manipulate it this way so there's quite a bit of research to go.
Agreed and I like how all the factions are using the same technology with a different understanding of it. Humans brute force it and as such face significant repercussions: not very accurate jumps, slow travel times, micro jumping in system is very dangerous, ships or sometimes just one or two people on a ship never revert from slip space. Covenant very advanced tech for the jumps but since the technology was copied from found forerunner tech they dont fully understand there own abilities: they have very fast very accurate jumps, can micro jump in system, sometimes just making a short jump behind enemy defences, but dont fully understand everything there own systems can accomplish. A halo book establishes that the covenant didnt even know they could jump into or out of an atmosphere until cortana used a stolen covenant ship to show just how precise it could be. Forerunners where the pinnacle of the tech: understood the balance of reconciliation, could jump massive distances instantly, or massive objects like entire planets, or super small objects like people.
@@generalgrevious815 yeah, i like that. I wouldn't like them to use the same tech and having the same understanding, and i also like how their artstyles change between factions instead of being the same.
good video for a start. The ship built for slip have to also be constructed of special metal. The bubble must able to allow time within to be independent of the energy inside. Thomas Bram author of THE WOVEN SUN
Would you consider doing a video covering the prophets ( San'Shyuum) who stayed behind on their home world? Maybe conver the physical differences between them and the covenant prophets. Could they show up in Halo Infinite? Great video by the way, as always.
I feel like like this is possible but we need more understsnding of physics. Sorta like how u need to understand how a game works before u can mess around with cheat codes and stuff.
Well the most likely scenario is the alcubierre drive which is essentially warp travel where you create a bubble of space time around your ship that contracts the distance in front of you and extends the distance behind you. So technically you're going under the speed of light, but the distance to travel is significantly less. Mass Effect has a similar idea with Mass Effect fields. The reason we can't travel past the speed of light is that the further you approach the speed of light, the greater your mass/inertia becomes. This is also why time dilation becomes a thing. For the same reason that time goes slower around black holes because of their enormous mass and the gravity they subsequently exert, traveling up to the speed of light will itself increase mass and gravity, leading to time dilation. However, travelling past the speed of light is impossible for another reason. To go faster, you have to accelerate. However, the amount of acceleration that is required to propel something up to a given mass is proportional to its mass. Therefore, if the mass becomes larger the faster you travel, your acceleration goes up. To the point that as you approach the speed of light, the acceleration required to propel you beyond the speed of light becomes infinite. You obviously cannot have infinite acceleration, so travelling past the speed of light is impossible. Mass Effect creates a bubble of mass distorting mass effect fields that decrease an object's mass and increase the speed of light within that bubble relative to light speed outside the bubble, thereby allowing the ship to accelerate with its regular thrusters to as fast as they can get, allowing for FTL travel. At least that's my, highly flawed understanding. I last did Physics in High School. Someone more qualified feel free to correct me.
Made up science. Don't confuse well-crafted fantasy for reality. There are potentially real ways we might travel faster than light in the future, but this is not one of them.
Monody how do u know? What an ignorant comment! How do we know if their aren’t other dimensions outside our four? Many physicist believe their are more dimensions besides our four we currently know.. What if one of those can be used for FTL travel? In my opinion halo is taking an idea in theoretical physics and expanding on it and saying what if it could be used for FTL travel! Not making up bullshit impossible pseudoscience concepts! To quote installation00*the RUclipsd not the forerunner artifact* sci fi is just science that hasn’t been discovered yet! Sure FTL travel, fusion energy, cybernetics, artificial gravity fields, energy shields and weapons and so many other things aren’t immediately possible but they are all on their way in this is helped by sci fi pop culture influence!
saiah smith you have no way of knowing that. We can’t make any of those things if the laws of physics say otherwise. You can’t throw “time” at every problem. This idea that we will endlessly progress comes from how fast we progressed in the last 200 years. We made very tiny adjustments over 10’000 years. It could easily be that way again. None of this is based on any real science in any way. These ideas are day dreams at best
@@hunter_thespy1233 Ignorant? How much do you know about actual theorized FTL? Something like Alcubierre warp field drive makes a hell of a lot more sense in physics than some arbitrary web of connections because of 'folded space'. Why is it folded? Reasons. How are slipspace portals opened? Somehow. What's stopping you from weaponizing slipspace generators to tear enemy capital ships in half? Something. The lore even states that slipspace causes paradoxes! A paradox by its very nature should never be able to occur.
Here's an interesting thing for you to explain regarding slipspace: during Halo 4 spartan ops there is a forerunner object on board of the UNSC Infinity tying the ship down, being called a "slipspace anchor" by the ship's AI Roland. How would said slipspace anchor work?
John Anguiano see for me, it makes me question why forerunners preferred hard light weapons, if your controlling gravitational forces just point your emitter at what you want not to see and it goes away really quickly. Anyway nice video, although some more interesting questions can be posted about slip-space, for example, we have seen on at least two occasions ships travel through slip space by riding through the wake of another ship (in amber clad and the chiefs fighter in 4) does that mean that you need only have a ship that’s a hollow sphere and you have a fleet of non ftl capable warships? If so the covenant should be shot for losing so many ships so quickly.
This is by far the best explanation I have heard for Shaw-Fujikawa space. Nicely done. However...I dont think instantanious slipspace communications were a thing until AFTER the Human-Covenant War. They made a very big deal out of the slipspace messager probes from Ghost of Onyx.
I haven't watched your videos since Halo 5 came out and this is EXACTLY the type of content I'm looking for. I'm majoring in Aerospace Engineering and I study Astrophysics on the side as I absolutely loved this video
Interesting. Very interesting. The fact that Halo's lore implemented the laws of physics to this, something Star Wars' Hyperspace and Star Trek's Warp Drive only did "so much".
As someone working on a sci fi universe, this is epic. My universe had a couple space travel methods, with "bulk jumps" and "strings jumps" being the most common, and warp drives and quantum jumps (instant) the rarer ones.
This is a very well made video. The narration is on point, the depth and breadth of discussion about the history and applications of the technology are really good and the video is pretty good at syncing what is being discussed with specific examples of what's going on (like safe entry points vs Mombassa and the unrestricted slipspace rift vs the Long Night of Solace). However, one constructive criticism that I have is that your videos could be *greatly* enhanced by providing inline source notations, embedded onto the video, stating where the data point being discussed comes from. Like how it was Cortana who was jacked into the Ascendant Justice who found out how Covenant slipspace technology worked in that it allowed the ship to gently open a particular coordinate of slipspace rather than just tearing open a portal and hoping that you got it right like the humans did, which was from First Strike. Or how the concept of reconciliation was explored in depth mostly in Silentium and Warfleet. Again, great video. I just think this could help you take it to the next level of appreciation for the nerds like me who wonder where this comes from if you've seen some media we haven't.
Really glad you enjoyed and thank you for the feedback! The next couple of videos are already far in the pipeline so changes won't be immediate, but I will make a note to implement this in some form because I agree that it would be beneficial!
Thats all fun and games but I think its more likely that FTL travel will be more like the warp from 40k where all our dreams and psychic projections wait for us. I really hope we have very strong Geller fields
Just saw your regarding Forerunner structures by Bungie & 323i. And I loved the video. Just subscribed to your channel. This channel is really very underrated.
the speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second, the Time dilation effect of Relativity is multiplied by approx. 7.2*. If you were to travel for 10 min at .9 the speed of light you would have left for anyone not travelling with you for more than an extra 10 min. you could have been gone for 1 hr - 1 day depending on your Course (Flying straight then back vs. Flying in a loop)
Didn’t even have that many written in the script, guess I was feeling contradictory that day. Will definitely be doing this as a self-deprecating drinking game with friends, thanks for the idea haha!
It’s completely different, NASA warps space is like making the ship ride a space wave and travel faster than light while not having the time travel problem, the slipspace drive is where the ship tap into an alternate dimension to travel and the alternate dimension have point in the universe that is basically a shortcut. Simple example is slipspace is similar to wormhole but warp speed is riding a wave that is faster than light.
Yea subbed, i went through your archive and yea i like decsion to make these vids especially when halo infinite is dropping next year, i can even see you doing news and update videos about halo maybe even a super lore youtube series/playlist from begining to halo infinite i would def watch! keep this up my man good job
Slip space seems like a function of what people think happens when 2 or more magnetic fields converged on a point and make a temporarily rip or hole . Tho what some whistleblowers claim is the use of red mercury rotating inside a donut + coils helps create another protective field for both traversing unusual portals but is also used as a form of unconventional propulsion. Think the donut and mercury creates a magnetic taroidal field. And that is what interacts with the rest of the engine system. Tho until recently I didnt think red mercury was real...
I wonder who developped the scientifically aspect of Halo lore, and if they got help from physicists or just were educated ? Halo lore creators are really fascinating
I did some quick maths Assuming you can travel at 90% of light speed, your time dilation is roughly 43.59% "normal" time Meaning if you were to take a 100 light year trip, A stand by observer will see you take around 111.11 years to arrive While you would have experienced it as 48.43 years If you want the difference to be pretty much exactly half, you need to travel at about 86.60% the speed of light, or more precisely 259'627'884.49 m/s
Hey, man just found your channel and binge-watched a decent amount of your content. I am amazed that you don't have more subs, you totally deserve them. I find your content to be better than Lukethenotable, and on par with rocketsloth. Keep it up and I look forward to your channel maturing and progressing!
It's not impossible to move a mass faster than the speed of light because as I understand it, the universe itself is doing just that. As it expands it appears to be accelerating past the speed of light and we are currently unable to explain why, our best hypothesis is Dark Energy, a type of energy we can neither perceive nor detect but is somehow influencing the universe at large.
I’ve see the folding paper demonstration several times, but I’ve never found it even slightly helpful. Obviously we count reach out with massive, divine hands and fold space in half, so what is that visual supposed to achieve? It causes it to make even less sense to me than without any analogy given 🤷♂️ Anyway, despite wormhole theory having still been clarified 0% for me, I still very much like this channel, the presentation style, and that Same Token voice. Lol. It’s also always interesting to learn more Halo lore. Keep up the good work. My only criticism is the clarity of that one demonstration in this particular video. Otherwise, great vids across the board. Very cool channel.
You deserve more subs this is high quality content. If you don't mind me asking would you do a collab with installation 00 I think you 2 in a video would be awesome.
The concept of the topology of the Universe being convulated enough for a lot of transit points to exist would mean that where the points are, would not be due to safety such as displacement of atmosphere but simply be due to the rarity of such points which in themselves may be moving or temporary and more advanced technology would be matter of accessing more of these points not a matter of bring more covert. Indeed navigation of these points would be the key strategic advantage. If there us to be any limits to where these transit points are, it would be by gravitation wells as gravity is the only force we suspect of curving space.
Should have mentioned a little about how the forerunners knew they were going to eventually fire the rings, because they could detect the pre-echoes of the rings firing in slip space. Probably due to the same cause as reconciliation. Could have also mentioned about how the precursors used a completely different technology to the forerunners (neural physics), and that it is somewhat incompatible with the forerunners slip space technology - they couldn’t move through slip space like they used to towards the end of the war, remarking that “its almost as if space itself is infected”. They only way they could escape encirclement a was by firing halo arrays, which could be tuned to destroy neural physical (precursor) structures.
The forerunners also utilised probability mirrors to cancel out the effects of long-distance jumps. I imagine they performed multiple short distance jumps to install them so large fleets could jump there in one go.
One question: how do ships navigate and "turn" while in slipspace? Surely they need to follow the current towards an exit point? Or is the ship thrown into it like a bullet with a pre-set destination / exit point?
You know this is advanced tech! Humans in halo get a bad rep for their weaponry/tech, but for a race of a species that only really worked on this for less than 300 yrs, it's actually pretty crazy advanced
That actually sounds more believable than the inital worm hole theories... When you think about it, it would be quite convenient to make a neat fold in space, it's more likely that it would be messy due to the random nature of physics and the universe.
I understand your explanation of slipspace, but how do families communicate with each other across it if you have to open and close it to get through? Would the opening and closing of slipspace not start and end communications? Hope that makes sense and that you answer. Your videos are amazing.
That's a very good question! I'll need to do a little more research on that and will get back to you - it might make an interesting video topic on its own. Thanks for watching!
SameToken If you don’t mind/agree, I think this topic needs a longer video than which you provided. Almost as if this is only part one of x. Subscribed since I saw your first Halo video btw.
SameToken Also if you could provide video comparisons between the hole in space made by humans, by the covenant, and by the forerunners. They should look different right? Thanks. Hope you get big.
NASA and other scientists have confirmed that bending space is possible by having a really big and heavy mass on your spacecraft (which is impossible to get with our technology) we need like a tiny piece of a blackhole or a really big star. It is a theory that could work with our laws of physics.
slipspace sounds like a combination of several FTL theories, combining Wormhole Theory with Warp Theory with the Interdimnsional medium Concept (not a theory last i checked but something that is common in Sci-fi)
i would love to do some kind of halo related topic about the covenants equipment to the banished, and how they look and feel different. or something related to the brutes, because the brutes equipment is so different then the covenant and humanity.
The bubble that a ship uses cross through slipspace, to the extent that it can be used, must be anti time and because the ship is VARIANT UNDER slipspace. An anti time bubble might also create problem for the ships in those bubble. Any anti time might be more rigid and offer a narrow guideline for mass alterations. Thomas Bram author of 'THE WOVEN SUN.
The paper folding shows the idea but I think this idea needs to be applied to a ball like a solid ball gets pretty complicated when adding the third dimension

Cosmic string theory is a thing, so it's not all baseless. You should check out Kurzgesagt's video on wormholes, it's very interesting.
@@pranavghantasala6808 string theory is a meme. E8 is the answer
There's even theories and very early designs for faster than light travel using our current understanding of physics called alcubierre drives. Basically they use dark matter & energy to create a bubble of regular space and a portion of expanding spacetime behind the spacecraft and a portion of contracting spacetime ahead of it which would make it perpetually "fall forwards" in space. There would be no length contraction or time dilation because the spacecraft would still be in stable space, in fact relative to the bubble of space surrounding it the spacecraft doesn't move at all.
Unfortunately we only have a very basic understanding of dark matter/energy and we don't know how to produce either let alone manipulate it this way so there's quite a bit of research to go.
I love Halo's version of Slipspace Jumps. Very interesting and imaginative. 👍🏻
Agreed and I like how all the factions are using the same technology with a different understanding of it.
Humans brute force it and as such face significant repercussions: not very accurate jumps, slow travel times, micro jumping in system is very dangerous, ships or sometimes just one or two people on a ship never revert from slip space.
Covenant very advanced tech for the jumps but since the technology was copied from found forerunner tech they dont fully understand there own abilities: they have very fast very accurate jumps, can micro jump in system, sometimes just making a short jump behind enemy defences, but dont fully understand everything there own systems can accomplish. A halo book establishes that the covenant didnt even know they could jump into or out of an atmosphere until cortana used a stolen covenant ship to show just how precise it could be.
Forerunners where the pinnacle of the tech: understood the balance of reconciliation, could jump massive distances instantly, or massive objects like entire planets, or super small objects like people.
@@generalgrevious815 yeah, i like that. I wouldn't like them to use the same tech and having the same understanding, and i also like how their artstyles change between factions instead of being the same.
good video for a start. The ship built for slip have to also be constructed of special metal. The bubble must able to allow time within to be independent of the energy inside. Thomas Bram author of THE WOVEN SUN
I love your Halo videos. Keep doing what you're doing. You do it well.
Thank you!
Would you consider doing a video covering the prophets ( San'Shyuum) who stayed behind on their home world? Maybe conver the physical differences between them and the covenant prophets. Could they show up in Halo Infinite? Great video by the way, as always.
Absolutely, great video idea. Will note this one down, thank you!
Hope they show up!
I feel like like this is possible but we need more understsnding of physics. Sorta like how u need to understand how a game works before u can mess around with cheat codes and stuff.
yea you don't want to go accidentally deleting the System 32 file of reality itself xDDD
Check out quantum non equilibrium for possibilities of FTL travel
Well the most likely scenario is the alcubierre drive which is essentially warp travel where you create a bubble of space time around your ship that contracts the distance in front of you and extends the distance behind you. So technically you're going under the speed of light, but the distance to travel is significantly less.
Mass Effect has a similar idea with Mass Effect fields. The reason we can't travel past the speed of light is that the further you approach the speed of light, the greater your mass/inertia becomes. This is also why time dilation becomes a thing. For the same reason that time goes slower around black holes because of their enormous mass and the gravity they subsequently exert, traveling up to the speed of light will itself increase mass and gravity, leading to time dilation.
However, travelling past the speed of light is impossible for another reason. To go faster, you have to accelerate. However, the amount of acceleration that is required to propel something up to a given mass is proportional to its mass. Therefore, if the mass becomes larger the faster you travel, your acceleration goes up. To the point that as you approach the speed of light, the acceleration required to propel you beyond the speed of light becomes infinite. You obviously cannot have infinite acceleration, so travelling past the speed of light is impossible.
Mass Effect creates a bubble of mass distorting mass effect fields that decrease an object's mass and increase the speed of light within that bubble relative to light speed outside the bubble, thereby allowing the ship to accelerate with its regular thrusters to as fast as they can get, allowing for FTL travel.
At least that's my, highly flawed understanding. I last did Physics in High School. Someone more qualified feel free to correct me.
@@Killzoneguy117 you need infinite energy, not infinite acceleration.
You have the voice that sounds like it was meant for RUclips or radio. Alright, you convinced me to subscribe.
Dropping pure science!
Just cause we don’t have the scientific understanding or technology to create something doesn’t mean it’s impossible..
Made up science. Don't confuse well-crafted fantasy for reality. There are potentially real ways we might travel faster than light in the future, but this is not one of them.
Monody how do u know? What an ignorant comment! How do we know if their aren’t other dimensions outside our four? Many physicist believe their are more dimensions besides our four we currently know.. What if one of those can be used for FTL travel? In my opinion halo is taking an idea in theoretical physics and expanding on it and saying what if it could be used for FTL travel! Not making up bullshit impossible pseudoscience concepts!
To quote installation00*the RUclipsd not the forerunner artifact* sci fi is just science that hasn’t been discovered yet! Sure FTL travel, fusion energy, cybernetics, artificial gravity fields, energy shields and weapons and so many other things aren’t immediately possible but they are all on their way in this is helped by sci fi pop culture influence!
saiah smith you have no way of knowing that. We can’t make any of those things if the laws of physics say otherwise. You can’t throw “time” at every problem. This idea that we will endlessly progress comes from how fast we progressed in the last 200 years. We made very tiny adjustments over 10’000 years. It could easily be that way again. None of this is based on any real science in any way. These ideas are day dreams at best
@@hunter_thespy1233 Ignorant? How much do you know about actual theorized FTL?
Something like Alcubierre warp field drive makes a hell of a lot more sense in physics than some arbitrary web of connections because of 'folded space'. Why is it folded? Reasons. How are slipspace portals opened? Somehow. What's stopping you from weaponizing slipspace generators to tear enemy capital ships in half? Something. The lore even states that slipspace causes paradoxes! A paradox by its very nature should never be able to occur.
Slipspace and the concept of the reconciliation budget are so fascinating. Gotta be my favorite sci-fi solution to faster-than-light travel.
Forget Light Speed, forget Ridiculous Speed, forget Ludicrous Speed. Slipspace is the future.
ONI rhombus
Here's an interesting thing for you to explain regarding slipspace: during Halo 4 spartan ops there is a forerunner object on board of the UNSC Infinity tying the ship down, being called a "slipspace anchor" by the ship's AI Roland. How would said slipspace anchor work?
Leon Schuit probably a super gravity bubble prevents Slip space generation
@@Fliuck Exactly, I would assume they would have control of gravitons at this point. Basically, Particles that can control and influence gravity
John Anguiano see for me, it makes me question why forerunners preferred hard light weapons, if your controlling gravitational forces just point your emitter at what you want not to see and it goes away really quickly.
Anyway nice video, although some more interesting questions can be posted about slip-space, for example, we have seen on at least two occasions ships travel through slip space by riding through the wake of another ship (in amber clad and the chiefs fighter in 4) does that mean that you need only have a ship that’s a hollow sphere and you have a fleet of non ftl capable warships? If so the covenant should be shot for losing so many ships so quickly.
@@Fliuck Gravity Weapons would bring interesting dynamics to the gameplay. I would love to see that in a future halo game
John Anguiano besides the gravity hammer 🔨
I'm surprised there are enough halo fans out there who DON'T know street-level wormhole mechanics - but you lay it out great!
ong i was in middle school trying desperately to understand wormholes cause i loved halo so much.
I can't unsee the thumbnail as some wacky glowing face for some reason.
Yep I see it too now, can't unsee
Great so make everyone else see it forever aswell great good
OH NOOOOO
It looks a lot like mendicant bias lol
I can't start to see that, I just see Regret's carrier
This is by far the best explanation I have heard for Shaw-Fujikawa space. Nicely done.
However...I dont think instantanious slipspace communications were a thing until AFTER the Human-Covenant War. They made a very big deal out of the slipspace messager probes from Ghost of Onyx.
Slipspace is AMAZING!
Always excited when SameToken posts a new video.
This was absolutely wonderful to watch and listen to. I feel like I have an incredibly solid understanding of slipspace now. :D
Not just gaming but a whole lot of science and stuff. Your videos are amazing. Want more.
I haven't watched your videos since Halo 5 came out and this is EXACTLY the type of content I'm looking for. I'm majoring in Aerospace Engineering and I study Astrophysics on the side as I absolutely loved this video
Really glad you enjoyed, thanks so much!
Would love to hear about how the Precursors moved from galaxy to galaxy considering the reconciliation
Interesting. Very interesting. The fact that Halo's lore implemented the laws of physics to this, something Star Wars' Hyperspace and Star Trek's Warp Drive only did "so much".
As someone working on a sci fi universe, this is epic. My universe had a couple space travel methods, with "bulk jumps" and "strings jumps" being the most common, and warp drives and quantum jumps (instant) the rarer ones.
This is a very well made video. The narration is on point, the depth and breadth of discussion about the history and applications of the technology are really good and the video is pretty good at syncing what is being discussed with specific examples of what's going on (like safe entry points vs Mombassa and the unrestricted slipspace rift vs the Long Night of Solace).
However, one constructive criticism that I have is that your videos could be *greatly* enhanced by providing inline source notations, embedded onto the video, stating where the data point being discussed comes from. Like how it was Cortana who was jacked into the Ascendant Justice who found out how Covenant slipspace technology worked in that it allowed the ship to gently open a particular coordinate of slipspace rather than just tearing open a portal and hoping that you got it right like the humans did, which was from First Strike. Or how the concept of reconciliation was explored in depth mostly in Silentium and Warfleet.
Again, great video. I just think this could help you take it to the next level of appreciation for the nerds like me who wonder where this comes from if you've seen some media we haven't.
Really glad you enjoyed and thank you for the feedback! The next couple of videos are already far in the pipeline so changes won't be immediate, but I will make a note to implement this in some form because I agree that it would be beneficial!
How this this dude not have like 5 million subs because this dude knows his sciences, and a lot more beyond.
Event Horizon called, do you want a portal to hell? Because this is how you get a portal to hell!
Hell yeah! I'll bring back pictures of the devil and sell them to Marilyn Manson for a couple million dollars! 😁
The Forerunners could figure out reconciliation, but could they figure out demonic presence being at unsafe levels?
Human's first encounter with the Immatereum.
I can see your channel blowing up. Keep up the awesome videos!
Thats all fun and games but I think its more likely that FTL travel will be more like the warp from 40k where all our dreams and psychic projections wait for us. I really hope we have very strong Geller fields
You seriously deserve more subs
Just saw your regarding Forerunner structures by Bungie & 323i. And I loved the video. Just subscribed to your channel. This channel is really very underrated.
the speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second, the Time dilation effect of Relativity is multiplied by approx. 7.2*. If you were to travel for 10 min at .9 the speed of light you would have left for anyone not travelling with you for more than an extra 10 min. you could have been gone for 1 hr - 1 day depending on your Course (Flying straight then back vs. Flying in a loop)
The song that starts at 3:17 really makes this more enjoyable to watch
This is so cool. I am impressed the writers put so much thought into their space travel lore. Bravo.
We need more of these videos! Great work!
Well this is my first video from this channel, that was one of the quickest *subscribes* I've ever done
The bending space to travel theory is one that could apply to our universe one day
1.8 thousand views, but only 203 likes? How do most people not enjoy this interesting content?
WOW that was so well explained! Great videos!
This by far my favorite channel.
I could listen to Halo Lore all day
Took a shot everytime you said "However" now I'm buzzed
Didn’t even have that many written in the script, guess I was feeling contradictory that day. Will definitely be doing this as a self-deprecating drinking game with friends, thanks for the idea haha!
@@SameToken however you still said however
You deserve more subscribers
This is actually very similar to something NASA has actually thought of that kind of warps space around something to push it like a wave
It’s completely different, NASA warps space is like making the ship ride a space wave and travel faster than light while not having the time travel problem, the slipspace drive is where the ship tap into an alternate dimension to travel and the alternate dimension have point in the universe that is basically a shortcut. Simple example is slipspace is similar to wormhole but warp speed is riding a wave that is faster than light.
Yea subbed, i went through your archive and yea i like decsion to make these vids especially when halo infinite is dropping next year, i can even see you doing news and update videos about halo maybe even a super lore youtube series/playlist from begining to halo infinite i would def watch! keep this up my man good job
Will definitely look into finding interesting ways to relay Halo news, great suggestions, and thanks so much for watching!
Slip space seems like a function of what people think happens when 2 or more magnetic fields converged on a point and make a temporarily rip or hole . Tho what some whistleblowers claim is the use of red mercury rotating inside a donut + coils helps create another protective field for both traversing unusual portals but is also used as a form of unconventional propulsion. Think the donut and mercury creates a magnetic taroidal field. And that is what interacts with the rest of the engine system. Tho until recently I didnt think red mercury was real...
lets get this legend on the throne of youtube
I wonder who developped the scientifically aspect of Halo lore, and if they got help from physicists or just were educated ?
Halo lore creators are really fascinating
I did some quick maths
Assuming you can travel at 90% of light speed,
your time dilation is roughly 43.59% "normal" time
Meaning if you were to take a 100 light year trip,
A stand by observer will see you take around 111.11 years to arrive
While you would have experienced it as 48.43 years
If you want the difference to be pretty much exactly half, you need to travel at about 86.60% the speed of light, or more precisely 259'627'884.49 m/s
Don’t forget about the forerunner’s Dyson sphere ghost of onyx has more about it
I feel like I'm a citizen In the Halo universe who just learned what slip space is after watching. Thanks!
Hello there
General Kenobi!
You are a bold one!
@Obi Wan Kenobi
Stop appearing in everything I watch ;_;
Get this mans some high ground
Another happy landing I see
Hey, man just found your channel and binge-watched a decent amount of your content. I am amazed that you don't have more subs, you totally deserve them. I find your content to be better than Lukethenotable, and on par with rocketsloth. Keep it up and I look forward to your channel maturing and progressing!
Within a year this channel will have 100k subs plus
It's not impossible to move a mass faster than the speed of light because as I understand it, the universe itself is doing just that. As it expands it appears to be accelerating past the speed of light and we are currently unable to explain why, our best hypothesis is Dark Energy, a type of energy we can neither perceive nor detect but is somehow influencing the universe at large.
You make the best halo videos. Please do a halo 4 and 5 story recap.
Slipspace Entertainment approves this message
Nice!
Lol
Great Quality, keep it up bro!
Absolutely brilliant. Definitely my favourite Halo channel. 👍😁
Okay so scientist where able to move individual quarks in a vacuum faster than light but they mysteriously disappeared at a certain speed
Really? What is a quark? I'd love to learn more about this experiment!
You can't move anything with mass faster than light, hence cannot move quarks faster than light. Don't where you got that info from.
I’ve see the folding paper demonstration several times, but I’ve never found it even slightly helpful. Obviously we count reach out with massive, divine hands and fold space in half, so what is that visual supposed to achieve? It causes it to make even less sense to me than without any analogy given 🤷♂️
Anyway, despite wormhole theory having still been clarified 0% for me, I still very much like this channel, the presentation style, and that Same Token voice. Lol. It’s also always interesting to learn more Halo lore. Keep up the good work. My only criticism is the clarity of that one demonstration in this particular video. Otherwise, great vids across the board. Very cool channel.
Also important to note ancient humanity were basically on par with forerunners and both absolutely paled in comparison to Precursor's Neural Physics
You deserve more subs this is high quality content. If you don't mind me asking would you do a collab with installation 00 I think you 2 in a video would be awesome.
Well I just lost the heart for editing my comment lol that's kind of a stupid system by RUclips.
Huh that’s strange, heart is back! - will need to see what can be arranged! :D
The concept of the topology of the Universe being convulated enough for a lot of transit points to exist would mean that where the points are, would not be due to safety such as displacement of atmosphere but simply be due to the rarity of such points which in themselves may be moving or temporary and more advanced technology would be matter of accessing more of these points not a matter of bring more covert. Indeed navigation of these points would be the key strategic advantage.
If there us to be any limits to where these transit points are, it would be by gravitation wells as gravity is the only force we suspect of curving space.
Should have mentioned a little about how the forerunners knew they were going to eventually fire the rings, because they could detect the pre-echoes of the rings firing in slip space. Probably due to the same cause as reconciliation. Could have also mentioned about how the precursors used a completely different technology to the forerunners (neural physics), and that it is somewhat incompatible with the forerunners slip space technology - they couldn’t move through slip space like they used to towards the end of the war, remarking that “its almost as if space itself is infected”. They only way they could escape encirclement a was by firing halo arrays, which could be tuned to destroy neural physical (precursor) structures.
The forerunners also utilised probability mirrors to cancel out the effects of long-distance jumps. I imagine they performed multiple short distance jumps to install them so large fleets could jump there in one go.
Music used?
Love it man. Beautiful work
One question: how do ships navigate and "turn" while in slipspace? Surely they need to follow the current towards an exit point? Or is the ship thrown into it like a bullet with a pre-set destination / exit point?
Preset destination point :)
How to tell you are a nerd. You too thought about this and this vid now confirms or challenges what you thought. And thank you for making it.
You know this is advanced tech! Humans in halo get a bad rep for their weaponry/tech, but for a race of a species that only really worked on this for less than 300 yrs, it's actually pretty crazy advanced
Yeah, it worked out great in Event Horizon.
Very good video, congrats!
Does anyone else remember when Halsey broke space and time, created a god AI at the same time, and locked it in Slipspace?
This is new favourite video of 2020
I wish my professors can explain stuff like u!😭
A video I absolutely shouldn't be interested in, but absolutely am and now I intend to watch it all xD
nice explanation
That actually sounds more believable than the inital worm hole theories...
When you think about it, it would be quite convenient to make a neat fold in space, it's more likely that it would be messy due to the random nature of physics and the universe.
I feel like the best way to describe you is the David Attenborough of Halo, keep it up!
So its basically hyperspace lanes in Star Wars, but not as restrictive.
Neat
This makes so much more sense than in Star Wars
2:32 heavy grimdark, basically do mutual funerals for your loved ones and they for yourself as you send off to cryosleep across the galaxy...
I understand your explanation of slipspace, but how do families communicate with each other across it if you have to open and close it to get through? Would the opening and closing of slipspace not start and end communications? Hope that makes sense and that you answer. Your videos are amazing.
Dude now I'm curious about that too😫
That's a very good question! I'll need to do a little more research on that and will get back to you - it might make an interesting video topic on its own. Thanks for watching!
SameToken If you don’t mind/agree, I think this topic needs a longer video than which you provided. Almost as if this is only part one of x. Subscribed since I saw your first Halo video btw.
SameToken Also if you could provide video comparisons between the hole in space made by humans, by the covenant, and by the forerunners. They should look different right? Thanks. Hope you get big.
I'm pretty certain they have slipspace relays. I remember reading about it in one of the books. I can't remember which one though
NASA and other scientists have confirmed that bending space is possible by having a really big and heavy mass on your spacecraft (which is impossible to get with our technology) we need like a tiny piece of a blackhole or a really big star. It is a theory that could work with our laws of physics.
The thing about this "bend space" thing is that that's what you're doing when time moves slower, you're bending the time dimension
slipspace sounds like a combination of several FTL theories, combining Wormhole Theory with Warp Theory with the Interdimnsional medium Concept (not a theory last i checked but something that is common in Sci-fi)
i would love to do some kind of halo related topic about the covenants equipment to the banished, and how they look and feel different. or something related to the brutes, because the brutes equipment is so different then the covenant and humanity.
The bubble that a ship uses cross through slipspace, to the extent that it can be used, must be anti time and because the ship is VARIANT UNDER slipspace. An anti time bubble might also create problem for the ships in those bubble. Any anti time might be more rigid and offer a narrow guideline for mass alterations. Thomas Bram author of 'THE WOVEN SUN.
Your music's are mindblowing
The paper folding shows the idea but I think this idea needs to be applied to a ball like a solid ball gets pretty complicated when adding the third dimension
Cool video mate 👍💪
