    I would love to see the 2013-14 reunion panel? Kind of a 'State of The Universe' update.

    Is there a possibility to tone down the echo? There are some parts where it's a little difficult to understand what the speakers are saying. What if you sent the signal of the microphones directly into the recording soundboard and then put the audience members on a separate track?

    :) I had a thought here. We always talk about speed of light and how fast it goes. How bout a speed of dark? Is that faster or doest that have decodeble speed at all? So it maybe goes million times faster than light does?

    • @konrrrad123

      dark is the absence of light and thus the absence of photons. thus dark travels at abs(vlight)=c, same speed as light

    we are already surrounded by dark matter, it doesn't interact with normal matter, that's why its difficult to detect, however, if you travel with 1000km/s and further enhance that speed with a warp bubble, so you go with about 4000km/s (just an example). If you hit anything still-standing because of the warp bubble you dont hit it with 4000km/s, you hit it with 1000km/s, because when it enters the warp field, its in the same condition as the ship

    I had this very simply thought and i think will most certainly happen but not for many years.It will be based on theories we already have.Instead of starting a chain reaction of splitting the atom we will figure out a way to control positive and negative energy and control the way the atom splitting happens.
    Think along the lines of surrounding something with a massive powerful negative energy then being able to maintain that and propelling it using the same positive or negative energy.

  • @galkanftw
    @galkanftw 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    It works because instead of your body being fully exposed to the massive change in energy and friction,you won't be ,it will be the energy field around you that is exposed to it all,not you.The field around you would be so powerful,it would keep your entire body tightly intact without crushing you,idk you might have to wear a special suit to keep you from being crushed.
    I do not think the thought of NEEDING negative energy is true,we will figure it out eventually how to control all energy.

    No VASIMR still 12 years later, any progress on that at all? So far Zubrin seems correct.

  • @fredline7415

    giving a very large energy to a point in very small amount of time is gonna produce time travel faster than light.

  • @JoeRobinsonOn
    @JoeRobinsonOn 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Fusion reactor anyone? Not even close to happening on that scale now i know but hey if it powers immense stars maybe you can compress and contain the power enough. Forgot the rest of that thought, oops. To warp space and time not the light speed issue, generating enough power for that just seems like it would be unbelievably less for me for some reason regardless of feasibility.

    it would be possible and it has a high amount of energy for propolsion

    - Viking type craft will take 74 823 years
    - Helios type craft will take 18 171 years
    - We have to improve the efficiency of the top current experimental engine DS4G ~30 fold, or the best running NEXIS engine ~70 fold to be able to reach Proxima in 100

      When we'll get there is a good engineering forecasting problem? The person who figures how to make a return on the money spent, they could end up owning the Galaxy? Currently, turning the physics into economics... you can spend billions just to get to the edge of the solar system? It's the sticker shock that gets most people.

      Realistically, anything can change the game?
      Its money & will power that can do it; everybody has their own technology outlook...
      but getting all the talented folks together to hammer out the details is as 'political' as it is a tech challenge.

      Are you aware of Ray Kurzweil's technological singularity theory. Were human intelligence by the year 2045 will be billions of times what it is today.
      Here human intelligence converges with machines. Now this may seem far out but if you read his book you will see that it is more feasible that what most people realize.

      We are now at the cusp of human longevity. Were we could possible live for hundreds of years.
      This is what stem cell, Nanotechnology, DNA sequencing, Virtual reality and Augmented reality allow science to extend out life span.
      Unless you are 93 years of age and in bad health then you stand a good chance of seeing amazing technology.
      Robotics could also allow us to travel to the stars as well and we could all experience it through VR but first the moon and the solar system will be our first port of call.

    What's so exciting about going to Alpha Centauri if it isn't even a potential star system that harbor life? Well, anyway if we presume that was the point of leaving our Solar System.

  • @matThaHatter

    Fun, but completely devoid of any helpful information, really. Anybody know when this was filmed? Is the date indicative of when it was filmed, or just when it was loaded?

  • @buzzee9961
    @buzzee9961 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Of course the easiest way to travel faster than the speed of light is to leave the Star Trek universe and enter the Stargate universe and travel by wormhole from point A to point B faster than the speed of light would travel between those same two points.

    there are 3 vars, speed distance and time, if we lived forever one of those vars wouldnt matter so neither would the other 2. as soon as our lifespan is expaded well be out there

    if you travel faster than speed light.Wouldnt you hit Dark matter or ordinary matter.

  • @jmculve

    Based on all the skeptical sounding talk I really don't believe these
    guys think that such interstellar travel is possible. The energies
    necessary for the Alcubierre drive have been revised down to energy
    equal to the mass of Jupiter.

    We need to live longer if we can't travel faster.

    • @bighands69
      @bighands69 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Or we could send robots out into space and we could then experience it through virtual reality.
      Even if it took 1000 years to make the first journey. As biotechnology and Nanotechnology could allow us to live for thousands of years.
      Have a look at Aubrey de Grey work on human longevity.

      Which humans are you talking about out of our ever growing population ? Every single life form MUST individually go extinct to make room on this planet. I would like to remembered well as a useful person for at least 100 years and maybe leave behind some really cool artwork or useful invention for the common consumer with little money.

    • @JosephNordenbrockartistraction
      @JosephNordenbrockartistraction 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      bighands69 Can we be any more unclear on who this us and we are ? 1,000 or your 1,000 years is hardly one baby step away from here. I think 5% of light speed is a good goal to improve some future lives on this planet and keep our minds entertained. I like your interactive robot idea for many directions because I think it can be done fairly soon at a lower cost.

    • @karlslicher8520
      @karlslicher8520 10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      As you age your perception of the passage of time dilates due to the % that each day/month/year etc. actually is of your total lifespan. By the time you pass your 1000th birthday a single Earth year would be perceived as maybe a single day but with the ability to still use every second if needed. Decades could be spent on long journeys without it bothering the traveller at all. Extending human lifespan is something that does not need space travel as a reason for happening. Personally, I don't want to grow old and die. I'm sure many people feel the same way.

    • @granddad2002
      @granddad2002 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's not so much as 'You can't do that?', but rather 'This is where we are currently standing, and these are the difficulties, and this is the part of the 'we don't know either way yet' parts of the problem. Good science & technology are based on things that are predictable, established & useful... Great science is taking what is know, then going the next step where theory will form a predictable experiment and doing it! If you get it right... you opened a larger, more interesting Universe.

  • @TheFailedmessiah

    Light speed is simply too slow. It will take us 4 years+ just to reach the outer limit of Alpha Centuri. We need warp. Warp drive or I won't travel in space.

    things can go faster than the speed of light.but they wouldnt appear to us.actually they would but we cant notice them.because our biological eyes has some limits.

  • @jmculve
    @jmculve 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    In the Alcubierre warp drive the spaceship lies motionless in flat spacetime while
    the Alcubierre metric takes the spaceship along faster than light. BUT the ship
    does not itself travel faster than light LOCALLY. It is LOCALLY that matters! These
    guys are phds in physics? Wow. This illustrates why an alacrity to debunk is a
    liability. He even SAYS he wants to believe it is possible to bend physical laws.
    Laughable. I wouldn't want him on my warp drive project!

      Wow, I didn't realize that you did all the theoretical work to get the mass of the negative energy down so much...three years after this video was published! Yeah, how dare these scientists not know something that developed after the fact!
      Oh, btw the scientists on this panel know full well how the Alcubierre drive works. Just because you can cite some webpage on the matter doesn't make your knowledge in the physics as grounded as theirs.
      No, I'm not done. When Sean Carroll says that he wishes that there were some way to travel faster than light, but that the laws of physics seem to prevent it, is not a stupid statement. Here you are talking about your own desire to do so, but laugh at a physicist who laments the same but keeps his speculation grounded in what's been experimentally verified. You're a contradiction in absurdity.
