Interstellar Travel: Could NASA's Warp Drive Make It Possible?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июл 2019
- IXS Enterprise is a conceptual interstellar superluminal spacecraft designed by NASA scientist Dr. Harold G. White, revealed at SpaceVision 2008, designed for the goal of achieving warp travel. The conceptual spacecraft would make use of a modified version of the Alcubierre drive. Dr. White is currently running the White-Juday warp-field interferometer experiment in order to develop a proof of concept for Alcubierre-style warp travel, if possible. The Alcubierre drive uses exotic matter (not to be confused with antimatter) to travel faster than light.
While the concept had been out since 2008 the design of IXS Enterprise was popularized in June 2015 after a series of media outlets reported on the conceptual artwork done by Dutch artist Mark Rademaker in collaboration with NASA.
The energy required to power the warp drive, according to White, is approximately the negative (negative energy is required for the Alcubierre drive concept to function) mass-energy equivalence of Voyager 1, which has a mass of approximately 700 kilograms. Using E=mc2, -700 kilograms of mass is equivalent to ~-63 exajoules of energy (this number is not definitive and can be further reduced). The ship has two thick outer rings (to reduce required energy) that generate the warp field-a contraction of space ahead, and expansion of space behind it. The space inside the rings is optimized to fit more space for cargo, crew and equipment.

These are transcendent. I watch them from time to time cursing this present age and wishing I could have been born in the future when space travel was as common as air travel is now.
AMAZING ... by far, the BEST representation of a flight of an Alcubierre Drive spaceship ! ... Kudos!
Imagine if this proves possible...
@@thunderbird1921 it is possible, assuming we somehow gain access to negative matter or figure out more about dark matter
@@squidblaster3327 Effectively saying "it is possible, provided magic exists"
@@squidblaster3327 well with our understanding it's not possible because we don't know if negative mass exists
@@squidblaster3327 it's not negative mass we need to figure out it's negative energy, so we definitely need to learn more about how dark matter and dark energy works and if we can manipulate them
If money was no object, the main thing stopping us from making this a reality is the obscene power requirement. The lowest amount so far is a 100% E=Mc^2 conversion of 700KG of matter to pure energy. For reference, if a car achieved 100% mass conversion efficiency, you would be able to drive it for the entirety of it's usable life with just one drop of petrol/gas.
Saying it's a metric butt-ton of energy needed is a massive understatement. We would need to tame and maintain a full blown black hole for the power supply, and we would need to shovel in an astronomical amount of matter per second to keep it going and avoid it obliterating the ship in a full blown nova event.
Last time i read about this the energy requirement was reduced in calculation to something like the mass of Jupiter. A lot less than a black hole.
EmDrive
Would a nuclear fusion reactor or two be anywhere near enough? They're only experimental right now, but have like 50-100x the energy potential of almost anything else energy built by man.

Wow 😮 you guys must’ve had high grades in school, higher than mine 😔😔😔
Man this is amazing !
wtf, I gotta agree tho even tho we won't see it after hundreds of years.
@@thefirstsin nobody knows if we will be able to travel faster than light. Maybe there is no way to travel FTL, even for intelligent life. Look, what about to land on the moon? Humanity thought we will never land on the moon, but here we are. The same could be with FTL travel. We need to dream, no dreams = No way to realize anything. I think we just need more "crazy" people like Elon. They are saying stuff that makes not really sense for some people, but often the dreams come true.
@@luigiistcrazy Elon has failed to meet deadlines on several milestones for SpaceX. The problem with private spaceflight is that these companies will never meet the deadlines they set for themselves because they aren’t held accountable.

Think about Quantum Computers helping with big algorithms for warp drives, warp drive energy, other things space exploration related, and so much more.
Why isn't this being talked about in youtube videos.
Check a playlist about Searching for Dark Matter and Dark Energy with a Quantum Computer, on my other channel.
Think about Graphene combined with Photonics as the basis for all our products today, and for Quantum Technologies.
This is too important to ignore.
Your videos deserve way more likes and views. Love your content.
Amazing! A starship with an engine that can deliver even only 1G of constant acceleration would open up the entire solar system up to the far reaches of the Kuiper belt.
I hope technology like this becomes available within my grandson's lifetime.

Who else was expecting a star wars/Star trek warp jump?
I mean this concept is directly inspired by star trek
And it could actually become a reality once we develop the technology
@@dwldjon assuming physics is kind to us and it is actually possible
Jimmy Ostler physics could just be having a good day and be like “hey guys, ima make that warp drive work for you”
Warp wouldn't actually look like that though. In true warp speed the stars won't even appear to move. The only different from sitting still in space would be that the stars ahead of the ship would be blue and the stars behind would be red.
Why was I born too early
The spacecraft noises and the ambient music an the space visuals blend absolutely perfectly!
Only inspired videos can be inspiring. Keep on doing what you're doing!

WHAT A TALENT
Just one step closer to reaching new Earths! That should be the ultimate goal of NASA and not just reaching Mars
It is being researched, but there are some significant issues still be worked out. We need negative energy to form the form field, something that can repeal instead of attract. We don't know for sure if this exists. It's possible it does exist and that it is dark energy.
Second issue, you have to figure out how to navigate at superluminal speeds. You can't see what's in front of you unless it's already passed you. Our best science indicates tachyons or other particles traveling faster than light either don't exist, or are inaccessible to us.
Third issue, stopping. Stopping a ship would release a ton of energy. This is actually probally the least problematic issue as ships could be stopped outside the solar system and travel in at sublight speeds. The energy release seems to be more of a problem if the ship travels at superluminal speeds.
Fourth problem, radiation. Traveling faster than light, an huge amount of radiation would be blue shifted and forced at the crew.
Problem 1 is really the whole key. We can probably figure out the rest of the problems though, but I do agree, we have to look to the future.
@@FFGuy-eu7hrYou best brush up on your Klingon boi. - A message from His Imperial and Royal Majesty, Kaiser Wilhelm der Groß.
@@FFGuy-eu7hr I don't understand much but a lot of that is wrong.
1st thing is that negative energy is not dark energy, which while it does have a say in the speed of which the universe expands, it doesn't warp space at all otherwise.
2nd is that stopping isn't the same as being decelerated. This isn't going faster than light, but "warping" space in-front and behind it, therefore not even moving at all. While still tremendously energy intensive, it'll have the same energy cost as decelerating.
3rd is that space inside the heliosphere (magnetic field of the solar system) is about 200 rems of radiation, while in interstellar space it averages at about 70 rems. So if space vessels in the solar system can withstand 200 rems, which they already can, then I think it can handle 70.
@@FFGuy-eu7hr good news, problem 1 has been solved. Turns out you wont need negative energy, however you still need a couple hundreds mass of jupiter to create a warp bubble. I found that from here ruclips.net/video/ES8dwIrWI2I/видео.html , correct me if im wrong
@@FFGuy-eu7hr they say anything faster than light breaks causality which is primitive thought.Einsteins theory says Anything traveling faster than light will reverse time.But if time reverse backwards,there is no way for any object to gain more speed than light.So causality will never be broken in 3D universe.The real problem is on our understanding of common physics which can't be applied on a warped bubble.Nobody have seen the nature of warp bubble.Nobody knows how time flows on warp bubble.
Wow, that was beautiful.
EPIC! Magnificent!
I watch these videos and every single time it takes me a few minutes to recover, always so thought provoking, always so visually stunning. It gives us a small insight to a great future. Would love to see SpaceX’s Starship travelling to a Bigelow space station and then onward to Elon Musks Mars colony city with the million people in it and half a dozen Starships at the Mars spaceport. Big ask, but it would be awesome if you could👍
Great work, though I spotted a bar code anomaly on the surface of IO!
when we have the ability to create a craft that can travel faster than the speed of light, we'll need to make two. One is to be named the Enterprise and the other is to be named the Millennium Falcon
Hoorah!
gorgeous.
really beautiful ship & very believable design for our first warp experiments.
humanity is about to take a step into a huge universe full of adventures...🐹
This spaceship design is so beautiful only science itself could come up with it
Space, the last frontier. These are the voyages of the starship enterprise. Its mission is to discover new worlds, search for new forms of life and civilization, and boldly go where no human foot has ever set foot."
This is amazing.....i hope we can see any ships like this in future........
Well building the physical form is easy, powering it however is a tricky thing

Be our luck, it will most likely be a "sleeper ship" similar to the SS Botany Bay on Star Trek: The Original Series ("Space Seed").
Spectacular eye candy!
Getting a few Liberator from Blake's 7 vibes there. Very cool
nicely done
Nice, the Alcubierre Drive
Has anyone made floor plans for the interior of this proposed craft? I cannot even find 'fan' speculations. I just want to imagine what each section is for and how it would accommodate its crew. For instance I assume the part with windows above the front saucer is a bridge but is that just too much Star Trek viewing on my part? Could it be a common room or observation area with the control room situated below and relying on cameras rather than windows? What of bedrooms and the like? It's fun to speculate.

Very subtle warp effect, but nice. Probably a lot more realistic than what we see in Star Trek or Star Wars.
Everybody sing! "It's been a long road, gettin' from there to here...."
I KNOW THAT' S RIGHT. SING IT LOL
As always insane work. I have one question though. I believe warp drives of this nature are supposed to compress the space in front fo them and expand the space behind them thereby "pulling" the ship through space without actual acceleration which gives the ability to travel faster than light without experiencing the issues Einstein pointed out about it not being possible normally to travel that fast. If i remember rightly and this is the case shouldn't the visual of the bubble be smaller at the front than the rear of the ship to show the compression and expansion? Should it not appear more cone shaped? A lay persons daft question most likely but I thought I'd ask ;~)
Most warp bubbles are calculated with a spherical geometry in mind, since it's the simplest to analyze. We just don't have the ability to do more than that right now.
@Ted Cameron Nah, you're right. Not necessarily a cone, but it should look a bit squashed.
it would be cool if you recreate Howard Hughes MONSTER size helicopter. Awesome video.
Could you make an Animation to Apollo 15? Good Job Keep that up!
wow
Hi, this is really amazing CGI work, I was just wondering if I could use these shots for a Sci-Fi skit I'm putting together, giving credit of coarse.
This warp drive is gonna come to life hundreds of years into the future.
Man I am early being born at a 0.75 humanity on the kardashev scale.
The truth will be revealed soon but the real enterprise which is fully functional and in space right now protecting our planet from asteroids. .its around a km long and those rings create gravity on the Enterprise. Our technology is way ahead than what the average person realizes.
People will have the truth disclosured to them in a year or two.

MAN, If we would put all our differences aside and actually build this thing - It would be A MASSIVE LEAP for human kind... We need to PUT our differences aside
Hopefully someday, as of now we lack the power generation capacity and technical capability to even consider attempting to build something like this.
that is the resolute from lost in space
nah unfortunately, its the ixs enterprise
A question, can warp FTP also be used for sub light propulsion? I’ve been curious about this for some time now.
Assuming that warp is actually practical, I would assume so.
Yes. You just control the gravity field for whatever speed you want really.
Build scaled model for testing just like an RC plane model and tests it in space !
The drive fold time between 2 points in space.. so it would be an instant transportation
Or so I understood..
Nice 😎💪💪

What is the proposed "speed" of this concept and how does it avoid collisions with random objects out in space? Thank you; great video!
It moves at many times the speed of light and it creates a space bubble around it that makes the debris move along with it without harming the spacecraft
The ship applies Alcubierre Warp Drive so it's probably 10 times faster than Light.
(10 x FTL) which is 1,862,823 mi/s
(10.7x10^9) = 10,792,528,487 km/h (6.70x10^9) = 6,706,166,293 mph
I did calculations by converting 10c which is light year to it 😅 I'm not really sure tho it's just my opinion. If you actually divide all of it by comparing their thesame units you'll get 10.0 answer.
Also the ship can travel 10 Light-Years a day which means it can arrive to Alpha Centuari which is 4.3 Light-Years in just a matter of 2 weeks and It also just takes 75 seconds to reach Mars.
Speed requires energy, large amount of negative energy then insane will be the speed. Moreover, warp speed is counted according to the factors
Warp factor 1 = 100% speed of light
Warp factor 2 = 8 times the 100% of speed of light
I read somewhere that said that a warp drive would create a super powerful beam that is caused because of a bunch of particles building up around the bubble not sure how accurate it is though.
To make your point, you really got to play the music by Jerry Goldsmith!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sometimes I think how much today looks like science fiction. Japan is buiding a (while rather slow) gundam, we are thinking about warp drives and soon the first humans will step into mars surface in 2024, what a time to be alive, and what a species to be.
Humans will not step on Mars in 2024. That’s ridiculous. Not even Elon believes that anymore (2026 isn’t much better, though).
And besides, 2024 (or 2026) wouldn’t be the landing date, it’d be the launch date. If, magically, a manned mission go Mars launched in 2024 or 2026, they’d land in 2025/2027, since SpaceX is expecting a 6-9 month trip to Mars (which isn’t feasible for health reasons; nine months of zero gravity followed by a year and a half in 40% gravity followed by another nine months of zero gravity would be disastrous. Imagine them trying to stand when they get back to Earth).
I doubt people will land on Mars this decade, let alone in four years. Early to mid 2030s as an international public/private partnership is much more realistic.
What's that egg shaped object on the top and bottom supposed to be?

If NASA builds the U.S.S Enterprise warp ship. How are they going to launch it off to space and still have enough fuel to propel the ship while warping space-time
Another question for another day. Well it’s a simple answer but I don’t feel like answering it right now. I will when you respond to this
Launch into orbit with SpaceX Super Heavy rocket. Maybe fuel it in orbit to save weight.
@@John_14v6 It would need multiple launches. Plus we are realistically talking 200 to 1000 years in the future, they will have a way.
send it up in pieces and assemble it in space, then send up the fuel
They just won't build it
Just wait until we get inertia control mastered. Then the fun really starts.
I hope one day this warp drive will become real✨
El motor de Miguel Alcubierre una gran teoria del fisico Mexicano 🇲🇽
It is not Alcubierre's engine. Alcubierre's work is the Calculations which in turn were taken from the General Theory of Relativity. His work consisted in developing the Calculations that allowed to clear the energy levels necessary to deform the space in such a way as to create a bubble-space-time around an object (ship). Alcubierre in said Calculus even cited that due to the enormous amount of energy that was needed for that, he maintained that it was impossible unless we had exotic matter (that is, a matter "X" that had negative mass). In summary; The Bubble-space-time theory, and impulse-gravity motors belong to theories elaborated after Albert-Einstein, who also held at the time that time, for an object close to, for example, the event horizon of a Black hole remains stopped, and whoever was standing there, would see how all the events in the universe would pass, without time passing from that point of view of the observer. In the end what he was saying, even though he did not name it; is that said observer; being within the deformation of space that the black hole exerts on space, it would be directly wrapped (so to speak) by the fabric of space, and at the same time as if it were absent from all the events that occurred in it (That is, the equivalent to be inside a space-time bubble). Shortly after, and immediately after Einstein, ideas of how to power spacecraft were born; among which is the gravity-drive-motor. In summary, these Theories ARE NOT FROM ALCUBIERRE, but the Calculations I mentioned, whose Work is called: "La Métrica de Alcubierre".
@@Francisco23812 true
So how long would it take for this craft to reach say Proxima Centauri?
A benefit is that the energy requirement for the field remains almost constant so you can move at 10c instead of 1c. In theory a trip to Proxima b would take about 5 months. Earth to Mars, depending on alignment, around 90 seconds.
@@yard2380 maybe just an estimated time of 2 or 3 weeks cuz I mean when it's 10 x FTL you're already higher than a distance of 4.24 Light Years and 10c is basically equals to 10 Light Years.
I'm not taking into account a possible de-acceleration at the destination or time dilation for that 5 month estimate, but I'm curious how you get to 2 to 3 weeks. :) To me that would be closer to 100C, but I'm not an expert.
@@shizuu.. how the hell can a speed equal a distance
Hello Hazegrayart
, can you please respond to my email I sent you. Thanks.
I know the if a grain of sand traveling with the speed of light would hit the earth it would be catastrophic, the energy is immense. I wonder what would happen with the ship, traveling at this speed in its own space-time bubble, if it would hit something similar. Would it still hit the object or would the object go around it?
1:23 “All these worlds...”
ARE YOURS - EXCEPT EUROPA. ATTEMPT NO LANDING THERE.
Would this thing strictly be a starship or could it fly anywhere like in the movies
How many TWh/second are needed to fly at FTL speeds?
Good question, I did a very rough calculation on that, and the continues energy requirement to keep space warped for flight conditions is around 75 exajoules or in Terra-watts: 20833. It is substantial, but it is a number. However this theory might get more and more polished, cheats and shortcuts will be found, this is mainly brute force. However still remains just a theory. :)
needs more star trek music
Wow it uses twin GN drive
Wouldn't there be blue/red shift when it's warping?
The Alcubierre warpdrive compresses the sppace-time around it and repels it backwards forming a "bubble" around the ship
How big is this ship
I don’t get it? Why is there sound from the ship as it passed by the observer?
Is just for the video
Maybe we'll finally go beyond our little planet and see the wonders and nightmares that hide beyond
Hazegrayart has way too little subscribers for his amazing work.
Imagine going at that speed and accidentally it crashes with a star
At that speed, crashing into a rock would be problematic
A space mission to Alpha centauri is 4.3 light years away from earth. Which is 25 trillion miles. It will take 4 years to get to Alpha centauri travelling at the speed of light. It would take seventy thousand years to get there in a normal spaceship. If we could travel at 10 times the speed of light. We should reach Alpha centauri within 2 weeks. While travelling at 10 times the speed of light, will get to Mars in 72 seconds.
Cameraman ,huh that's easy for me 😎
One thing I want to know is could a warp bubble protect you from going through a black hole at warp
Yes; TOTALLY. What you do is travel secretly from space; that is, you do not exist for him. As space passes through you, and not you through it, it means that it passes around you, as if you did not exist for it; then after that you disappear so to speak from the universe, until you shed your invisibility cloak (Warp Bubble), and appear again at a point "B". Inside your bubble you are isolated from space, and therefore from its time; so when traveling from point "A" to "B" time does not pass, a jump from "A" to "B" is instantaneous, so time does not pass for you either. As a result of this momentary (infinitesimal) absence from the universe, you don't come across anything in it; whether they are planets, stars, etc .; you just have to be careful where you are going to appear and remove your warp bubble. Now the longer the jump, the more energy as a technology you should have. Thus, the most reasonable thing would be to have partial jumps, and after a certain amount of them, go from a point "A" to "B". Among others, since we are not the ones who move, but space, it means that you never move, therefore you can make abrupt turns of 90 or 180 degrees, hold a cup of coffee, and not spill a drop of it.
@@Francisco23812 thx very much for the answer, man. really open up my mind about warp drive space travel, because I thought that we are the one who moves in space, not the space itself.. and I'm incredibly wrong about it.
How it was launch ??
