The only way, interstellar travel would make sense, is if we can build our own habitats. To not be dependent on the accidental earth like planet. Then, pretty much every solar system would be a destination.
I suspect the only feasible way to travel between the stars is to do it via our electronic, digital or robotic emissaries. The more I think and learn about the sort of challenges involved in space travel and especially long term travel, the more I think that animal bodies are absolutely unsuited to the task, in the same way that chemical rocket propulsion is completely unsuited to propelling craft to the sorts of speeds we'd require. No, I think we would ultimately need to find a way to vastly expand out knowledge and skills with robotics and with miniaturization of components so that we can send something very low mass at very high velocities on long voyages and have minimal needs in terms of keeping that emissary of ours 'functional'. Whether there's ever going to be a way for the essence of 'us' as humans to travel on board with these robotic / AI / digital emissaries, I have no idea, but it may be the closest we can come to reaching another star system. Of course, we need not even travel with the robots in digital form, we could instead just stay on Earth and endure the long wait until the craft reaches a destination and then wait for the signal to return.
Sadly our species is Earthbound, our evolution has occurred on a 1G planet, we need our gravity to remain healthy. We are going nowhere until we begin to evolve outside of Earth's gravitational well. The distances are too vast and faster than light travel for anything of mass simply impossible. So, here we sit, pushing dreams of Star Trek like possibilities with no hope of achieving them, but to turn and look at our finite planet and realise if we can control our effect upon it, then we may have a chance of populating Mars at least....heh?
It would be good if scientists could do nuclear fusion on human excrement/shit and have it make byproducts of ultra pure water and oxygen in huge amounts.
whatever u think for them means power.. so u invent something they will go to get more power not u to get a joyride so it is much much worse than u think experience or experiments is somehow the same thing
Well... We should also bare in mind, while our heads get lost in the stars, we destroy that which we already have... If we don't implement or require some world wide drastic changes... We won't be able to wonder about the stars... Personally I think that mankind is naive about space travel. I don't think we're meant for the stars. Use space to inflict wonder and mystery... But, whilst I'm a huge space nut and love the progress we've made with the JWST... but we do really have to ask, as space is expanding, is humanity wasting its time on space travel, when we could instead be focused on taking care of what we do have? We're selfish creatures we always want more...
Okay, maybe the title refers to the ultimate goal of travel speed, but our current understanding of science quickly puts a kibosh on that. Instead, the documentary sensibly spends time exploring the next-best options that DO seem possible within our understanding of science - ergo discussion of nuclear propulsion, of ion drives, of light sails, of matter-antimatter collisions. I'm not sure exactly what you were seeking from this particular documentary, but I think it does the science a pretty good service.
they are all the same, just dribble on about shit! they bait us with all sorts of catch phrase's but really they just waffle on about absolute rubbish that we already know!
Surely a nicely produced and entertaining thought experiment. Even with exponential growth of both knowledge and physical capabilities it may take us a few centuries to come close, if at all possible.

Embarking on near light speed travel, leaves the traveler with no one to report back to, and no one aware of the arrival, in fact if anyone exists when the traveler slows down having travelled into far future.
A one-year journey to a star 4 light-years away at 80% the speed of light would only take 3.12 years for the crew, while 10 years would have passed on Earth.
They are not mutually exclusive. In fact, space research has already benefited Earth. Given that our population is increasing, it also makes sense that we colonize other worlds. Material science has also already advanced since production of material in space allows for material properties that cannot be replicated under the gravity of Earth as experiments on the ISS have shown. This will likely benefit medical science as well.
It's even worse than that, but the average person's education in science is genuinely parroting what they see and hear on TV, and taking it all on faith, we are brainwashed into believing we understand things at a common sense level but are patently wrong. *My formal education requires relativistic quantum mechanics, condensed matter physics and classical mechanics, and the grim truth behind the way we're being robbed blind by NASA for 70-million dollars a day is truly sickening, but trying to reason with the average person is a lost cause.* We will never send human beings to Mars. With current technology, we will never send man to the moon. Mankind has been brainwashed into believing the ruling class can actually control nature, but it's all a lost cause. *What we need to focus on is the health of our species and the pollution we're installing directly into our immediately surrounding environment.* The last 2 generations are riddled with misfits due to exposure to these chemicals like atrazine and now, a percentage believe they are the opposite gender they scientifically and factually are. NASA should be privatized, stripped up their budget and that money used to help solve that problem and more.
@@macbuff81Actually, world populations are heading in the opposite direction. That doesn't mean it is safe to remain on one planet. One major astronomical mishap and it will be as if we never existed. No, we need to stretch out of the womb though it be difficult snd inconvenient.
Amin brother , we will never colonise other planets until Earth will become a single collective with a single senate and no countries that each have agendas of getting/fighting over resources, and NO i dont have tyranical views ,but this is the truth ,if we don't have the same goal as a race we will never go to the stars .
Just think what scientists, and engineers have done with tiny sums of wealth, and then think how much more they could have done with the national budgets now going to warmongering---- humans would already be colonizing the solar system, maybe exploring interstellar space. The mind boggles at the potential. From where I stand, its not likely to occur anytime soon. We are more likely to destroy ourselves, or at the very best, a few of us may survive the calamities of our own making to continue the human experience with a greatly reduced population on Earth into the future just like a post apocalyptic Sci Fi.
Yes but our human nature of basic greed, competition, the desire to conquer, rule and dominate each other, hatred, selfishness and jealousy keeps us back. Don't know how to sidestep these ugly shackles that keep us strapped down. WE ARE IN OUR OWN WAY!
hell the space program of recent can't even get launched without blowing up...let alone get into earth orbit to be even thinking about going to Mars. Yeah right... We were way better at space travel 50 years ago...
Do we have some manifest destiny to “explore these exoplanets”? What if someone already lives there? Are we gonna get these planets all nasty with our own bile just like we have with Earth? Let’s focus on this planet first, then maybe think about it.
😞😞😞 This makes me question why we are even here. All the habitat planets in the universe, why were we placed here. So far from all others, that we'll never be able to explore or learn from them, at least not in our lifetime anyway. So why put us here! Is mankind destined to be alone in the universe!
That's the whole point. To keep civilizations apart. So no one civilization can concur the other. It's a smart design. If we were to ever make it to another habitat, we would just drain it of it's resources, pollute it and ruin it too.
The science community talks of the need for inovation in speed..yes. What about the inovation in Navagation needed to avoid colliding with unknown interstellar objects..... any thoughts? Kelly
The universe given its size is to all intents and purposes practically empty, the biggest problem would not be hitting something, but given its emptiness having any frame of reference to navigate off of.
How far and how fast? Sadly, not very far and not very fast. We have made almost zero progress in propulsion since the 1960s. We are still using chemical rockets, which will struggle to even reach another nearby, planet and forget the outer solar system. It still takes decades to send a small, unmanned probe. Sure, we can find exoplanets, getting good at that but we have zero options for getting there.
We used a lot before we used nuclear. Energy extraction and use are advancements that come in leaps and bounds. We have ideas for potential methods of acceleration that could get us where we want to be. It’s just a matter of doing pure physics research and putting money into it.
The distance to even the nearest star, while staggering, is still FINITE. Pluto is 6 billion kilometers away. The nearest star Proxima Centauri is 4.2 light years away and equates to traversing approximately 40,000 billion kilometers. Even at the speed of light 300,000KM/sec, it takes light 1 year to complete 9,461 out of those 40,000 billion kilometers. Within the next 500 years humanity should be able to obtain 10% light speed (30,000KM/sec) and reach Proxima in about 40 years.
Long ago, I imagined a civilization that was living entirely into a spaceship near the lightspeed; since their time was relativistic, they can't have a base planet to return, since the time gap between the ship and the planet made it near impossible to manage.
It's 'anti-matter', but more than that, we live alongside particles of 'matter' every day of our life. The anti-matter equivalent is likewise composed of fundamental (but opposite) particles.
We're getting there people. About another 100 years I'm convinced we're will figure out how to travel at light speed. Something needs to change with our physics and we are gone. Just need the right mind, and stop hiding technology from each other.
lol we wont make it another 100 years. the Covid-bioweapon didnt open your eyes? Do you know to this day that research is STILL continuing? That future you speak of does not include us peasants that i can promise!
It will never happen our brains are not evolved enough yet, like you said we still hide technology from each other, we also kill each other and destroy ourselves. Sure we have cars, and planes and computers but thats about it, and if it wasn't for fossil fuels we wouldn't even have those. We put too much focus on money and selfishness, traveling to other stars is just not possible with who we are, and sadly the planet will be a smoking ball of shit by 2050. Actually it already is, and dont say im negative or a pessimist it's just the truth, turn on any news channel and see im right, all politics, murder and greed
If you,ve seen a shooting star, I'm sure we will get the technology to move interstellar speeds across many solar systems. I have faith in the human race. Look how far we've we got in the last 150 years.
I'm depressed enough about the current state of the world that I've almost lost any faith that humanity's current relatively 'high' level of sophisticated technological civilization will endure sufficiently long to make the sort of scientific inroads into problems to spread to other planets and to the stars. I hope I'm wrong, but I feel our civilization and our leaders in particular, are not geared humanity being sustainable in the truly long term, and it may lead to our downfall.
While we may not travel interstellar distances, we CAN accelerate our probes to appreciable fractions of light speed, and they can beam data back to us.
I think that is what we have to settle for, at least for a while. Light speed or FTL speed is off the table for now. I will be surprised if we get something to 20 or even 30 percent light speed.
No no no! Light can't escape a black hole, yet there's a strong neutrino signature from Sag A so apparently neutrinos are literally faster than light because they are flung by strong gravity. Start there.
I'm glad this video narration kept mentioning protect Earth's biosphere. We don't know yet whether prodigious life on other planets is universal. It's possible Earth is a very unique jewel in the universe, and needs protecting simply because it is rare even though Earth won't last forever.
We don't know as yet whether life at ALL exists outside the Earth, let alone whether 'prodigious' life exists. You're right that Earth could well be entirely unique and if that's the case, then we must become far better stewards of this planet so as to give all lifeforms on this special world the best chance possible to flourish for as long as possible. It all hinges on how likely or not an even Abiogenesis is (the formation of life from non-living materials). Even the simplest lifeform known on Earth presents a condundrum - a bizarre mixture of chaos and order, of an almost unbelievable complexity that seems to have arisen without any hand playing a role in shaping that complexity. It seems very difficult to reconcile the seeming random and chaotic nature of atoms with the incredibly specific complexity of the simplest cell. It's entirely possible we're missing something critical in our understanding. However, if the formation of life is sufficiently 'fluke-like', then it may not matter how many planets the 'dice is thrown', life may well have arisen just the once, here on Earth. I certainly hope that's not the case, but here I resort to my 'belief' and my 'hopes', rather than any scientific I can point to.

Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
Human beings need to broaden our horizon when it comes to finding 'LIFE' in the cosmos, there is a great possibility that some life forms can exist without water or all the things we need.
If we don't get there, future generations will, provided we don't self-destruct first or be eliminated and subsequently replaced by artificial intelligence; this is not exactly the same thing as saying it is impossible.
- Scientists aim to explore exoplanets, particularly Proxima B, in search of habitable environments and signs of life, utilizing advanced spacecraft and telescopes. - Challenges in interstellar flight include propulsion technologies such as laser-driven spaceships, anti-matter engines, and warp drives, inspired by science fiction. - Discoveries like Trappist I's planets fuel hope for finding Earth-like worlds, but challenges like solar radiation stripping water molecules pose obstacles. - Interstellar travel concepts like Project Orion and Daedalus propose using nuclear propulsion, but safety concerns remain. - Despite challenges, the pursuit of interstellar exploration is driven by humanity's sense of wonder and the desire to expand beyond our planetary boundaries.
It would be good if scientists could do nuclear fusion on human excrement/shit and have it make byproducts of ultra pure water and oxygen in huge amounts.
I tell you , how to get there and explore it all you want , 1 . Sit in your chair . Good . 2. Close your eyes . Good . 3. Now imagine in your mind flying there and landing and walking around . Good . See ? How easy that is ?
To explore the galaxy, we need to realize that those currently alive on Earth will never live long enough to explore any data sent back home. Exploring distant stars and planets can only be done by looking into the past. To see the present would take several lifetimes.
Before any of this happens the human race will need to grow up and learn to work and live together, with trust being a big one. We need to remove greed, make sure all humans have the basic's like shelter, food and clean drinking water and health care. If we can do this then the human race will prevail and make it to the stars one day.
I find the navigational challenges just as interesting as the propulsion. What if there's massive asteroid field or a dark planet in the way? How would the ship detect and avoid that at those speeds? Especially if the ship is moving faster than light?
Space will definitely have to be warped in some way in front of the space craft to divert any objects encountered in travel. It seems to me that just travelling at even a percentage of light speed would cause unwanted heating of the ship's hull from the friction of star light in space. I'm not a physicist, so maybe star light is not sufficient enough to cause friction on a ship travelling at some percentage of light speed, but it seems likely that space craft would encounter dust particles, and cosmic rays, let alone larger objects that would make travelling at some percentage of the speed of light impossible without some mechanism to deflect objects in space.
Actually the speck of bust would not be a problem, at the speed of light, the mass and velocity of the craft would be so great that it would not even notice the dust.
Definitely seems like a huge problem. As 'perkins' says, any object with mass at such speed would pack a wallop. Sci-fi writers have thought up ways to potentially combat this, including lasers and so forth clearing the way ahead of the craft and of course, coating the exterior of craft in vast amounts of 'ablating ice'. Either way, you want some sort of 'sacrificial material' to take the wallop instead of the skin of the craft. Again, you may be right in that this poses the single most challenging problem and may yet make such travel impossible in practice.
@@charliejohnston1978 That's not right, I'm almost certain (from what I've read and heard from physicists) that even tiny, low mass objects would create incredible damage. Localised yes, but damage nontheless. Space may be a vacuum but again, if you're travelling at sufficient speeds, you'd encounter motes of dust.
Soon it will be done that we were be able to reach planet proxma b star as energy power discoveries are as fast as science fast going ahead. Gravity will help us also in future by new technologies. Your efforts are good and carry on .wish you the best thankyou.
Here’s an idea. What about huge light signals to reach other planets. You know like the laser pointers. You think other intelligent life will be able to read it. Would that help us or hurt us? That would be the next question
Here's a silly question, is the void of space faster then light as it retracts, or is the black void of space the same speed as light? Since light has to travel into the void to expand the universe. Or is the universe expanding regardless of matter being present?
We have the new propulsion we're going to be able to make it to mars in 2 months instead of 9 we've taking steps everyday in advancements in technological advancements. We're suppose to be in this together. this what we call humanity, our incredibly rare consciousness tends to get overshadowed by greed and false power. We're human. if everyone could look at earth from another planet i believe all conflicts and problems we have between eachother would disapate.
Fascinating but you forgot to mention that distances are also measured in 'Astronomical Units'. One AU is 93,000,000 miles which is the distance from the Earth to our star 'Sol' more commonly known as The Sun!
the problem is with all that are so negative about this subject is they haven’t done any research at all. if they did they would find out that we do know how to go faster than light but the element needed to power an engine to do so is beyond our capabilities to make or control. ie dark energy.
Concepts as 3.0x10⁷≈cx10² are possible now, that's the beauty of Stellar Physics, fitting it on a truss, modular or discrete is just in every way the way forward.
weight on circle rotating and releasing it to fly forward and puul space craft would make kinetic energy on ship and you need only electric generator to turn circle
I've seen It!!! I've seen it done before. whatever you may call it, Hyper drive, teleport, warp.....etc..I dont care but they're approaching about this way of traveling all wrong. What I saw make star trek look like a kid!!! Every star around the object was already just a straight line like is already being pulled or already traveling and then the object took off or more warp I see it traveling farther and farther it was strange how I can still see it warping out into space (it flew away) It flew AWAY!! when it warp away the speed it was traveling was insane also when it warp away I felt my soul or my mind or my body (im not sure how to explain it) sucked in along with this object. I'm a crazy guy don't pay attention to me ok this is just a crazy man messaging non scent!!!!
Man is not meant for interstellar travel. Other than there being a million ways space travel can kill you, the problem with matter in motion through space at high velocities is time dilation. Say even at 20 percent the speed of light for 5 years could mean a time dilation of tens of thousands of years into the future at your return. I would think that even a much advance civilization capable of light speed would even consider interstellar travel. The risk would be too high for even the best of hoped for results of such a venture.
Many propulsion methods, one more expensive and more complicated than the other, instead of following the reverse engineering method discovered by Bob Lazar in the S4 area! In addition, none of these methods can ensure a trip in a reasonable time. The only solution is to travel through a space-time rupture as Bob Lazar said that the ships researched by the Americans in the S-4 area do, namely the technology to "break" the space-time fabric creating a "rupture/hole through which the ship can travel much faster than the speed of light to huge distances in a few hours or days.
Might want to start thinking about collision avoidance. Space is a busy place. No implied Right of Way. Therefore, linear travel at relativistic speeds is quite improbable. Splitting the fabric of the Universe and sliding through the gap is much more likely.
Once upon a time we thought flight was impossible, then we thought the speed of sound was unbreakable, etc. We've proven time and time again that nothing is beyond our capabilities given enough time, motivation and imagination. Faster than light travel will just be another benchmark we will have to pass in our development.

Have you read 'Aurora' by Kim Stanley Robinson? I'm re-reading it now myself. It's about a fictional generation ship close to arrival at an exoplanet of that name. It's a fascinating and haunting exploration of what it means to 'confine' generations of humans to a journey they didn't themselves choose to be part of. Raising ethical questions in among all the fascinating science and exploration issues.
One doesn't need to travel faster than light to reach the stars within our galaxy, all that is necessary is to approach the speed of light because according to the special theory of relativity, time itself will slow down for the person traveling at that speed allowing one to go many hundreds of light years or more in a single human lifetime. Of course mass also increases as one approaches the speed of light so the amount of energy necessary to approach the speed of light becomes prohibitively high. The other problem is that collisions with interstellar dust particles at the speed can destroy the spacecraft in which they are traveling so some sort of solution is necessary to overcome that problem as well.
I'm in y 60s. For people my age or older, a lot has happened in the field of science. With that said, maybe we'll get there, BUT, who will be on board? The rich that can afford the ticket and their families, and the geniuses who can aid in the development of the new frontier. Just saying...☺️😉
You can not go faster than the speed of light, Einstein said so. Even if you could you would be going nowhere fast. The space outside our solar system is measured in light years.
The sad thing g about developing a fuel like anti-matter is that someone will want to weaponize it. Can you imagine the destructive force of a weapon that makes the hydrogen bomb look like a child's toy?
It looks to me that we will never make interstellar space travel possible nothing new here. A lot of needless history for the first 30 minutes with nothing new in the last 10 minutes
Relax man, these videos are made for people who are trying to fall asleep. Don’t be watching RUclips videos like this looking for new info on warp drive breakthroughs. You won’t find any.
"Faster than light", besides breaking up physics as far as causality goes, brings you nowhere far. We'd need to go much, much faster to actually nibble into deep space.
The speed of light has nothing to do with long distance movement, it's not going to be pushing from the rear with combustion rocket engines, it will be moving the craft equally through actual space/time, manipulating space/time to travel unimaginable distances in mere moments, like you know who already does. Maybe by the year 2525.
We will be ready to do interstellar travel when the space ship can survive and repair from most kind of collision like how we repair our own cars or like like science fiction movies surviving from getting shot at. If not, then it's not robust enough to do anything.
There will be no sun to shine planet earth one day . Human can move to this planet. It's got ocean and i am sure it's probably got humans in it. Founder of proxima b. Its a red sun circling like a earth.

Dr. McCoy said, "Star Trek is dead, Jim." Captain Kirk asked, "What and how?" Spock replied, "This unrealistic video killed Star Trek reality. We can no longer travel at a warp speed beyond light travel in space. The light travel for starships is theoretically impossible and has become irrelevant. Travel back in time is also virtually impossible." Scotty said, "I can not change the law of physics! I've got to have thirty years!" Uhuru said, "Captain, I've lost contact with the ship. I was talking to them. Suddenly, it went dead. No static, just blank." Scotty checked the communicator and replied, "Nothing is wrong with the communicator, sir. Somehow, Enterprise is gone!" Kirk responded, "Advanced literacy or technological superiority has somehow changed the law of physics." Scotty asked, "You mean we're stranded down here?" Spock said, "With no past, no future, and no present." Uhura grew fearful and responded to Kirk, "Captain, I'm frightened." Kirk hopelessly said, "We are trapped in a marooned space and time. At least, not the Earth we know. We're totally alone." Captain's log, no stardate. For us, time and place do not exist. It is the Twilight Zone. Holy Star Trek Nightmare, Batman! 😢

Yes,
But if the trip is just 4 light years to Proxima the time dilation cannot exceed 4 years. It will not be hundreds or thousands of years.
A one-year journey to a star 4 light-years away at 80% the speed of light would only take 3.12 years for the crew, while 10 years would have passed on Earth.
Yet at 99.999997% light speed, universe will end in a blink of the travelers eye
lol SPACE lol 😂 😂
One of many theories.
Humans can't even go to Mars let alone another Star. It's about time to realize that fact and look after the Earth.

*My formal education requires relativistic quantum mechanics, condensed matter physics and classical mechanics, and the grim truth behind the way we're being robbed blind by NASA for 70-million dollars a day is truly sickening, but trying to reason with the average person is a lost cause.*
We will never send human beings to Mars. With current technology, we will never send man to the moon.
Mankind has been brainwashed into believing the ruling class can actually control nature, but it's all a lost cause. *What we need to focus on is the health of our species and the pollution we're installing directly into our immediately surrounding environment.* The last 2 generations are riddled with misfits due to exposure to these chemicals like atrazine and now, a percentage believe they are the opposite gender they scientifically and factually are.
NASA should be privatized, stripped up their budget and that money used to help solve that problem and more.
@@macbuff81Actually, world populations are heading in the opposite direction. That doesn't mean it is safe to remain on one planet. One major astronomical mishap and it will be as if we never existed. No, we need to stretch out of the womb though it be difficult snd inconvenient.
Politicians don't want to spend the money. It's just that simple. NASA is a joke right now. JFK is rolling over in his grave.
If we didn’t fight among each other and use our collective knowledge, we could be able to travel distance stars like Star Trek
Amin brother , we will never colonise other planets until Earth will become a single collective with a single senate and no countries that each have agendas of getting/fighting over resources, and NO i dont have tyranical views ,but this is the truth ,if we don't have the same goal as a race we will never go to the stars .
Invention is the product of necessity... If only the necessity was that of peace and education.
Just think what scientists, and engineers have done with tiny sums of wealth, and then think how much more they could have done with the national budgets now going to warmongering---- humans would already be colonizing the solar system, maybe exploring interstellar space. The mind boggles at the potential. From where I stand, its not likely to occur anytime soon. We are more likely to destroy ourselves, or at the very best, a few of us may survive the calamities of our own making to continue the human experience with a greatly reduced population on Earth into the future just like a post apocalyptic Sci Fi.
Yes but our human nature of basic greed, competition, the desire to conquer, rule and dominate each other, hatred, selfishness and jealousy keeps us back. Don't know how to sidestep these ugly shackles that keep us strapped down. WE ARE IN OUR OWN WAY!
Exactly. If we ever plan on surviving as a species we MUST work together, and leave this planet.
Interesting but we haven’t even made it to Mars yet. Let’s take this step by step.
hell the space program of recent can't even get launched without blowing up...let alone get into earth orbit to be even thinking about going to Mars. Yeah right... We were way better at space travel 50 years ago...
Do we have some manifest destiny to “explore these exoplanets”? What if someone already lives there? Are we gonna get these planets all nasty with our own bile just like we have with Earth? Let’s focus on this planet first, then maybe think about it.
😞😞😞 This makes me question why we are even here. All the habitat planets in the universe, why were we placed here. So far from all others, that we'll never be able to explore or learn from them, at least not in our lifetime anyway. So why put us here! Is mankind destined to be alone in the universe!
Humans just arent ready as a species to work together and focus on space travel, we're too busy with tiktok and snapchat
@@Mr.Blonde92 yeah true
That's the whole point. To keep civilizations apart. So no one civilization can concur the other. It's a smart design. If we were to ever make it to another habitat, we would just drain it of it's resources, pollute it and ruin it too.

The science community talks of the need for inovation in speed..yes. What about the inovation in Navagation needed to avoid colliding with unknown interstellar objects..... any thoughts?

The universe given its size is to all intents and purposes practically empty, the biggest problem would not be hitting something, but given its emptiness having any frame of reference to navigate off of.
Space is empty. Even when two galaxies collide almost no stars get near enough to hit each other.

How far and how fast? Sadly, not very far and not very fast. We have made almost zero progress in propulsion since the 1960s. We are still using chemical rockets, which will struggle to even reach another nearby, planet and forget the outer solar system. It still takes decades to send a small, unmanned probe. Sure, we can find exoplanets, getting good at that but we have zero options for getting there.
We used a lot before we used nuclear. Energy extraction and use are advancements that come in leaps and bounds. We have ideas for potential methods of acceleration that could get us where we want to be. It’s just a matter of doing pure physics research and putting money into it.
I also agree with you. Space explorations simply isn't a priority for humanity rn tho it should be
@@BurningGhosts we will have to stop spending so much time and money on murdering each other in order to get there
Is out of the question. Armageddon is coming and the Earth will be destroyed with wars.
@@tshavfengvang7831the Sun will hand us another extinction before
The distance to even the nearest star, while staggering, is still FINITE. Pluto is 6 billion kilometers away. The nearest star Proxima Centauri is 4.2 light years away and equates to traversing approximately 40,000 billion kilometers. Even at the speed of light 300,000KM/sec, it takes light 1 year to complete 9,461 out of those 40,000 billion kilometers. Within the next 500 years humanity should be able to obtain 10% light speed (30,000KM/sec) and reach Proxima in about 40 years.
Long ago, I imagined a civilization that was living entirely into a spaceship near the lightspeed; since their time was relativistic, they can't have a base planet to return, since the time gap between the ship and the planet made it near impossible to manage.
Anty Matter hasn't got any particles. Because, Anty Mater hasn't got any elements. 😢
It's 'anti-matter', but more than that, we live alongside particles of 'matter' every day of our life. The anti-matter equivalent is likewise composed of fundamental (but opposite) particles.

Magnificently exploring all current and foreseable future technological advancements....congrats for an excellent made all inclusive film!
Long time after watching your video
That was the best warp drive simulation I've seen, even in movies. Salute.
We're getting there people. About another 100 years I'm convinced we're will figure out how to travel at light speed. Something needs to change with our physics and we are gone. Just need the right mind, and stop hiding technology from each other.
lol we wont make it another 100 years. the Covid-bioweapon didnt open your eyes? Do you know to this day that research is STILL continuing? That future you speak of does not include us peasants that i can promise!
It will never happen our brains are not evolved enough yet, like you said we still hide technology from each other, we also kill each other and destroy ourselves. Sure we have cars, and planes and computers but thats about it, and if it wasn't for fossil fuels we wouldn't even have those. We put too much focus on money and selfishness, traveling to other stars is just not possible with who we are, and sadly the planet will be a smoking ball of shit by 2050. Actually it already is, and dont say im negative or a pessimist it's just the truth, turn on any news channel and see im right, all politics, murder and greed
Lol, not likely. Human civilization is about to come to an end soon. REAL soon.
If you,ve seen a shooting star, I'm sure we will get the technology to move interstellar speeds across many solar systems. I have faith in the human race. Look how far we've we got in the last 150 years.
I'm depressed enough about the current state of the world that I've almost lost any faith that humanity's current relatively 'high' level of sophisticated technological civilization will endure sufficiently long to make the sort of scientific inroads into problems to spread to other planets and to the stars. I hope I'm wrong, but I feel our civilization and our leaders in particular, are not geared humanity being sustainable in the truly long term, and it may lead to our downfall.
While we may not travel interstellar distances, we CAN accelerate our probes to appreciable fractions of light speed, and they can beam data back to us.
I think that is what we have to settle for, at least for a while. Light speed or FTL speed is off the table for now. I will be surprised if we get something to 20 or even 30 percent light speed.
No no no! Light can't escape a black hole, yet there's a strong neutrino signature from Sag A so apparently neutrinos are literally faster than light because they are flung by strong gravity. Start there.
AI is going to end up figuring this out for us, just give it some time.

@@CosmicAliveness Come on man, you give AI times, and it will help us. Now, it already makes better decision than average people do.
I'm glad this video narration kept mentioning protect Earth's biosphere. We don't know yet whether prodigious life on other planets is universal. It's possible Earth is a very unique jewel in the universe, and needs protecting simply because it is rare even though Earth won't last forever.
We don't know as yet whether life at ALL exists outside the Earth, let alone whether 'prodigious' life exists. You're right that Earth could well be entirely unique and if that's the case, then we must become far better stewards of this planet so as to give all lifeforms on this special world the best chance possible to flourish for as long as possible.
It all hinges on how likely or not an even Abiogenesis is (the formation of life from non-living materials). Even the simplest lifeform known on Earth presents a condundrum - a bizarre mixture of chaos and order, of an almost unbelievable complexity that seems to have arisen without any hand playing a role in shaping that complexity. It seems very difficult to reconcile the seeming random and chaotic nature of atoms with the incredibly specific complexity of the simplest cell. It's entirely possible we're missing something critical in our understanding. However, if the formation of life is sufficiently 'fluke-like', then it may not matter how many planets the 'dice is thrown', life may well have arisen just the once, here on Earth.
I certainly hope that's not the case, but here I resort to my 'belief' and my 'hopes', rather than any scientific I can point to.

Human beings need to broaden our horizon when it comes to finding 'LIFE' in the cosmos, there is a great possibility that some life forms can exist without water or all the things we need.
Even, even if you go the speed of light. Reaching the next star will take generations traviling in spase.. its a impossibility.
If we don't get there, future generations will, provided we don't self-destruct first or be eliminated and subsequently replaced by artificial intelligence; this is not exactly the same thing as saying it is impossible.

It would be good if scientists could do nuclear fusion on human excrement/shit and have it make byproducts of ultra pure water and oxygen in huge amounts.
What is a staggering discovery ? It sounds painful. Like this video.
I tell you , how to get there and explore it all you want , 1 . Sit in your chair . Good . 2. Close your eyes . Good . 3. Now imagine in your mind flying there and landing and walking around . Good .

That's not satisfying enough, can't we compromise? Let's get there first then we can close our eyes....and IMAGINE, yep!
To explore the galaxy, we need to realize that those currently alive on Earth will never live long enough to explore any data sent back home. Exploring distant stars and planets can only be done by looking into the past. To see the present would take several lifetimes.

If only we could stop killing each other and wasting time and money on undetectable magic beings we might get somewhere!
YES! Big agreement from me!
I find the navigational challenges just as interesting as the propulsion.
What if there's massive asteroid field or a dark planet in the way?
How would the ship detect and avoid that at those speeds? Especially if the ship is moving faster than light?
First, we must dream...
Then boldly create the reality!
Do you realize what a tiny particle of dust would do to a Spacecraft traveling at the speed of light
Space will definitely have to be warped in some way in front of the space craft to divert any objects encountered in travel. It seems to me that just travelling at even a percentage of light speed would cause unwanted heating of the ship's hull from the friction of star light in space. I'm not a physicist, so maybe star light is not sufficient enough to cause friction on a ship travelling at some percentage of light speed, but it seems likely that space craft would encounter dust particles, and cosmic rays, let alone larger objects that would make travelling at some percentage of the speed of light impossible without some mechanism to deflect objects in space.
Actually the speck of bust would not be a problem, at the speed of light, the mass and velocity of the craft would be so great that it would not even notice the dust.
The tiny particle of dust would go straight through the spaceship that's why you need a forcefield!
Definitely seems like a huge problem. As 'perkins' says, any object with mass at such speed would pack a wallop. Sci-fi writers have thought up ways to potentially combat this, including lasers and so forth clearing the way ahead of the craft and of course, coating the exterior of craft in vast amounts of 'ablating ice'. Either way, you want some sort of 'sacrificial material' to take the wallop instead of the skin of the craft. Again, you may be right in that this poses the single most challenging problem and may yet make such travel impossible in practice.
@@charliejohnston1978 That's not right, I'm almost certain (from what I've read and heard from physicists) that even tiny, low mass objects would create incredible damage. Localised yes, but damage nontheless. Space may be a vacuum but again, if you're travelling at sufficient speeds, you'd encounter motes of dust.
This video ended on a strong note, TY!!
Soon it will be done that we were be able to reach planet proxma b star as energy power discoveries are as fast as science fast going ahead. Gravity will help us also in future by new technologies. Your efforts are good and carry on .wish you the best thankyou.
Here’s an idea. What about huge light signals to reach other planets. You know like the laser pointers. You think other intelligent life will be able to read it. Would that help us or hurt us? That would be the next question
Here's a silly question, is the void of space faster then light as it retracts, or is the black void of space the same speed as light? Since light has to travel into the void to expand the universe. Or is the universe expanding regardless of matter being present?
I'D LOVE TO GO TO INTERSTELLAR SPACE, DREAM COME TRUE
None of these technologies exist. Maaaaaybe someday for our great great great great grandchildren if ever.
Excellent documentary of what our potential as a human race could one day be if we just stop the madness...

we're going to be able to make it to mars in 2 months instead of 9
we've taking steps everyday in advancements in technological advancements.
We're suppose to be in this together.
this what we call humanity, our incredibly rare consciousness tends to get overshadowed by greed and false power.
We're human. if everyone could look at earth from another planet i believe all conflicts and problems we have between eachother would disapate.
Fascinating but you forgot to mention that distances are also measured in 'Astronomical Units'. One AU is 93,000,000 miles which is the distance from the Earth to our star 'Sol' more commonly known as The Sun!
the problem is with all that are so negative about this subject is they haven’t done any research at all. if they did they would find out that we do know how to go faster than light but the element needed to power an engine to do so is beyond our capabilities to make or control. ie dark energy.
Concepts as 3.0x10⁷≈cx10² are possible now, that's the beauty of Stellar Physics, fitting it on a truss, modular or discrete is just in every way the way forward.
weight on circle rotating and releasing it to fly forward and puul space craft would make kinetic energy on ship and you need only electric generator to turn circle
When?
Not much meat on the bone here, lot's of filler, not much on FTL subject. Damn close to click bait. Still, I'll give you points for effort.
That was so good! Great ! One of us will find a way! Am sure
I've seen It!!! I've seen it done before. whatever you may call it, Hyper drive, teleport, warp.....etc..I dont care but they're approaching about this way of traveling all wrong. What I saw make star trek look like a kid!!! Every star around the object was already just a straight line like is already being pulled or already traveling and then the object took off or more warp I see it traveling farther and farther it was strange how I can still see it warping out into space (it flew away) It flew AWAY!! when it warp away the speed it was traveling was insane also when it warp away I felt my soul or my mind or my body (im not sure how to explain it) sucked in along with this object. I'm a crazy guy don't pay attention to me ok this is just a crazy man messaging non scent!!!!
Man is not meant for interstellar travel. Other than there being a million ways space travel can kill you, the problem with matter in motion through space at high velocities is time dilation. Say even at 20 percent the speed of light for 5 years could mean a time dilation of tens of thousands of years into the future at your return. I would think that even a much advance civilization capable of light speed would even consider interstellar travel. The risk would be too high for even the best of hoped for results of such a venture.
Many propulsion methods, one more expensive and more complicated than the other, instead of following the reverse engineering method discovered by Bob Lazar in the S4 area! In addition, none of these methods can ensure a trip in a reasonable time. The only solution is to travel through a space-time rupture as Bob Lazar said that the ships researched by the Americans in the S-4 area do, namely the technology to "break" the space-time fabric creating a "rupture/hole through which the ship can travel much faster than the speed of light to huge distances in a few hours or days.

Yet Another history lesson !
We may never make it there unless someone from there comes here and takes us along
Might want to start thinking about collision avoidance. Space is a busy place. No implied Right of Way. Therefore, linear travel at relativistic speeds is quite improbable. Splitting the fabric of the Universe and sliding through the gap is much more likely.
Once upon a time we thought flight was impossible, then we thought the speed of sound was unbreakable, etc. We've proven time and time again that nothing is beyond our capabilities given enough time, motivation and imagination. Faster than light travel will just be another benchmark we will have to pass in our development.
Yes but it won't be likely coming in our lifetime. Don't hold your breath.

Raising ethical questions in among all the fascinating science and exploration issues.

Very good😊
One doesn't need to travel faster than light to reach the stars within our galaxy, all that is necessary is to approach the speed of light because according to the special theory of relativity, time itself will slow down for the person traveling at that speed allowing one to go many hundreds of light years or more in a single human lifetime. Of course mass also increases as one approaches the speed of light so the amount of energy necessary to approach the speed of light becomes prohibitively high. The other problem is that collisions with interstellar dust particles at the speed can destroy the spacecraft in which they are traveling so some sort of solution is necessary to overcome that problem as well.
I'm in y 60s. For people my age or older, a lot has happened in the field of science. With that said, maybe we'll get there, BUT, who will be on board? The rich that can afford the ticket and their families, and the geniuses who can aid in the development of the new frontier. Just saying...☺️😉

You can not go faster than the speed of light, Einstein said so. Even if you could you would be going nowhere fast. The space outside our solar system is measured in light years.
You're right. Even approaching light speed, the journey times would be very, very long. It seems almost impossible from my 21st century vantage point.
The sad thing g about developing a fuel like anti-matter is that someone will want to weaponize it. Can you imagine the destructive force of a weapon that makes the hydrogen bomb look like a child's toy?

"Faster than light", besides breaking up physics as far as causality goes, brings you nowhere far. We'd need to go much, much faster to actually nibble into deep space.
The speed of light has nothing to do with long distance movement, it's not going to be pushing from the rear with combustion rocket engines, it will be moving the craft equally through actual space/time, manipulating space/time to travel unimaginable distances in mere moments, like you know who already does. Maybe by the year 2525.
We will be ready to do interstellar travel when the space ship can survive and repair from most kind of collision like how we repair our own cars or like like science fiction movies surviving from getting shot at. If not, then it's not robust enough to do anything.
Awesome!
Perhaps these speeds needed, and distances were actually put in place for our benefit??

We can no longer travel at a warp speed beyond light travel in space. The light travel for starships is theoretically impossible and has become irrelevant. Travel back in time is also virtually impossible." Scotty said, "I can not change the law of physics! I've got to have thirty years!" Uhuru said, "Captain, I've lost contact with the ship. I was talking to them. Suddenly, it went dead. No static, just blank." Scotty checked the communicator and replied, "Nothing is wrong with the communicator, sir. Somehow, Enterprise is gone!" Kirk responded, "Advanced literacy or technological superiority has somehow changed the law of physics." Scotty asked, "You mean we're stranded down here?" Spock said, "With no past, no future, and no present." Uhura grew fearful and responded to Kirk, "Captain, I'm frightened." Kirk hopelessly said, "We are trapped in a marooned space and time. At least, not the Earth we know. We're totally alone." Captain's log, no stardate. For us, time and place do not exist. It is the Twilight Zone. Holy Star Trek Nightmare, Batman! 😢
