"What is TIME DILATION and does it exist in STAR WARS?"
th-cam.com/video/BENIhiauT-0/w-d-xo.html
Cool video, U will like this video a lot th-cam.com/video/zR3Igc3Rhfg/w-d-xo.html
Light speed is too slow! We're going to have to go right to LUDICROUS SPEED!
@TheCustomSWFigure What's the matter Col. Sanders, chicken?
Haha! I knew someone was gonna say it.
Ah, buckle this!
BattleUp Saber LUDICROUS SPEED GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BattleUp Saber they’ve gone plaid
The thing about interstellar travel in movies is that they use FASTER than light travel (FTL) methods to reach their destinations in short time frames.
In Star Trek they use a sort of warp bubble to essentially teleport the ships in between locations.
In Star Wars it uses hyperspace travel, which is some sort of alternate dimension where distances are much shorter than in our space.
In Interstellar they use a wormhole, which is basically a portal.
And we have discovered... none of these. Yet.
Not only that! Star Trek has knowledge in the 1960s TV show of "the Formula" that time travel forwards and backwards at measurable clock ticks on the ship! Star Wars of "Hyperdrive" did not match Gene Roddenberry's thoughts of the 1960s!
WRONG. Well, kinda correct. You forget that entering hyperspace requires you to hit the speed of light still. Thus, hyperdrive is still actually impossible.
in star wars, hyperspace is basically an alternate dimension similar to a worm hole
apanda02 Why did Han Solo say he has to make calculations before the jump to Light Speed?
Because even though it is another dimension, it still interacts with the normal dimension
I would like to see a SW movie about that instead of pointless movies disney does nowadays.
Gabriel Badea Well since none of SW's physics or anything else makes sense it would be silly, just enjoy the fun movies for them being fun.
@@agb8764 It's stupid to make a movie all about Fictional Technology.
There's a novel, "the Songs of Distant Earth," I read in high school.
In it, some humans in the not-too-distant future, received a signal from a system like 500 light years away, so they developed a multi-generational space program and craft to get there and check it out.
When they arrived, they found a human civilization had begun, thrived for a few generations, and had since gone extinct.
Humans?!
Like, from Earth?
Yes, apparently while the vessel was en route to the planet, back on Earth, people had discovered a much faster way to get there, and had sent another group.
Who had arrived hundreds of years before the first mission, and couldn't survive in that environment so they had precipitously died out.
It's basically an extremely long-winded, "lesson," in space travel;
"Don't go, because while you're on your way, back home they'll have figured out a faster way!" 👍
Sounds like an interesting novel! I might read that!
But who sent the first signal?
If operating under the real laws of physics the only direction of time travel, or really dilation is going forward in time while travelling huge distances or being near objects of large enough mass to bend space and time.
This sounds exactly like something that happened in Elite Dangerous's lore.
Not much of a lesson if it never actually happened
Star Wars characters always seem to use the terms "lightspeed" and "hyperspace" interchangeably, even though they seem to mean different things. Lightspeed means moving at the speed of light, while I think "making the jump to hyperspace" means jumping into some kind of dimension where time and space don't follow the same physical characteristics as those in ours. Essentially, they jump from place to place, skipping entire star systems until they reach their destination in hours or even minutes.
I thought of it as lightspeed being the necessary speed to enter hyperspace, so going to lightspeed implies a jump to hyperspace and vice versa.
Obi Juan Kenobi Bizarrely enough...that actually makes sense, somehow.
Heyyyy, Vsauce, Greedo here.
I was just about to say that :D
Literally earlier today after my Intro to Modern Physics class, some guys in my class and I met in the Physics lounge and were talking about the difference in age Han Solo and Luke Skywalker would have since Han spent a lot of time traveling at light speed. Crazy coincidence that it's on the same day you put this video out. As a physics and engineering major learning about this, you did a great job relaying the information.
When I watched your older Star Wars science videos it got me very interested in Space and Physics. Now, here I am with two telescopes, a member of a local astronomy club, and going into college majoring astrophysics. Thanks Greedo. You're awesome.
That's the coolest thing I've ever heard. Thanks for sharing, Ian.
Thanks Greedo, you're awesome.
My head canon is that hyperdrives dont allow ships to enter other dimensions and travel at/faster than the speed of light but instead condenses space-time to turn thousands of lightyears between Tatooine and Naboo into a few hundred miles.
I know its not canon but its my head canon. As long as your head canon doesn't interfere with major parts of canon then its ok.
Star Wars, Halo, and some other scifi universe use wormholes to travel much shorter distances.
The "jump to lightspeed" thing is really just the jump into hyperspace.
Your enthusiasm reminds me alot of myself... 3 or so weeks ago my wife and I watched a falcon9 launch from Vandenberg Air base here in CA and i was so awe inspiring. It made me wish i was born much later than i was just so i could see how far humanity can reach! That is of course if we dont destroy ourselves first!
So that’s why the Star Wars galaxy takes place “a long time ago in a galaxy far far away”
This video made me question my own existence...
Sully Uddin but do I exist?
J-154 lol
I'm almost crying at how much i love you!! This is video was so precious and i learned so much!! Thank you, HG.
God I have such love for Astronomy... I’ve really missed these type of videos HG, keep doing them more often! I get so interested
Here we were thinking this was gonna be one of your funny "its ridiculous". Nope full amazing and intricate science lesson. Wonderful!
I love these types of videos! Keep it up :)
I would like to see more of this BUT also include some discussion on how the science or terminology might be interpreted or translated in Star Wars universe
yeah... these are the good old hellogreedo vids i signed up for, keep it up
Trying to tie anything in the Star Wars galaxy to real world physics is credulous, at best.
We're willing to suspend our disbelief just enough to be cool with lightsabers, the force, force-wielders, Chewbacca, etc.
But concepts of light speed travel and gravity is a step too far?!
(It's a fictional story, set in a completely invented environment, full of characters and locations that only really exist in the imaginations of some really creative people, and the imaginations of the people who enjoy what they've created from it.)
I think you missed the point....
Wasn’t expecting to see the Webb telescope in a Star Wars video
Loved this one! Cool format variation too!
There are some known ways we could theoretically get around the speed limit of light, like warping space and wormholes, but it remains to be seen if one of them could ever become a practical way to move a space ship with a human crew on board. It's not necessarily a big deal if this doesn't come to pass though. We could move about the galaxy the old fashioned way if cryo-stasis or extreme life extension ever come to be.
I’m certainly not an astrophysicist,but I did watch Cosmos a couple of times. Carl Sagan said from the perspective of the traveler at light speed,you could the entire known universe in just under 40 years.
Looking forward to 2208 when we'll finally increase the Speed of Light.
I've always though of travel in SW as Hyperspace travel: between space time. Thats why they show them passing light in hyperspace. I imagine they use the term "light spped" as slang, not meaning litterally the speed of light.
Space is just so incredibly cool
He said meatbag, meatbag is a term only droids use, IS HELLOGREEDO A DROID ? OH MY GOD
The "GPS satellite" drawing you showed... that was a Soyuz capsule.
Makes me glad to see a video this good has no dislikes yet.
Actualy Han Solo Flight 15 minutes from Tatooine to Alderaan. It's almost half of Galaxy in lenght. So You can reach full Galaxy in half hour with Hyperjump speed.
I really enjoy these videos
one of my favorite videos you've done
Whoooa, man! You blew my mind. Loved this
Hey, Nice to see a Star Wars Science video again ! Cheers!
I have a theory... What if... star wars happened in a galaxy so ancient and so far away, even the universe and the space between systems and the size of galaxies was really small.?
.wait, no, I dont think physics and star forming dynamics dont work like that..
Most sci fi universes use Warp, which isn't traveling at light speed but moving space around you
Star Wars uses Hyperspace which is a another dimension.
@@darkwolf4434 yh ik?
We’re taking out first steps into a much larger world.
More sciencey videos like this my friend - you're good at it :)
“Meatbags” Hk-47 is that you?
also, Han would need to ask help from the Navigator's spice to fold the universe ..
A very well made video Greedo, good job. I remember lots of this from the A-Level Physics Astronomy section. As far as I remember Hyperspace in Star Wars is essentially an alternate dimension, which negates the effects of time dilation. So it’s almost like teleportation really. It’s interesting to look up online how fast the Millennium Falcon actually is and other such articles, as the estimated speeds are pretty crazy. Like hundreds of thousands of times the speed of light. When Han said the Millennium Falcon would make point 5 past light speed, what he actually meant was it has a class 0.5 hyperdrive, not that it can go 1.5X the speed of light, as that would be far to slow.
As an aside, I was always a fan of the fact that hyperspace in legends actually took time; hours or even days to travel between planets. In canon they seem to have ignored this idea to the point that characters can zip around in a few minutes or hours at most. Though even in legends, I should note that the times period of hyperspace jumps was very inconsistent throughout sources. Ultimately Star Wars is Science Fantasy, not Science fiction of Science fact, and though they try to explain things in source books and novels, it’s best to to think too hard about the details. An interesting topic none the less.
As for real life, the only real chance of faster than light travel would be either Dark Matter manipulation to bend space, or Quantum entanglement to teleport form one position to another. However both of these ideas are only theoretical and at the moment only really exist in Sci-Fi.
AWESOME VIDEO!!!
Awesome video man
Can I be that guy? I'm gonna be that guy.
SW FTL is closer to making a wormhole rather than going at light speed witch is a plausible means of travel according to Hawking. Time dilation is then not a big deal in the universe
IIRC, I think hyperspace did have some element of time dilation, but it was more that time just flowed weird.
As long as there is spatial dilation, the speed of light can be worked around
Your talking Star Trek! But that is distance travel in Star Trek! The concepts of "the Formula" allows for forward and reverse time travel in and around areas of space even shown in the 1960s TV show by Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek few episodes (including the Tabernacle episode)!
You forgot something Paulo. I think he assumed you already knew this, but to enter hyperspace you have to at least hit the speed of light. Thus, it is still impossible.
Space is HUGE. Trying to traveling around even our own Galaxy without FTL Drives is pretty pointless.
I really hope we figure this out
Probably not in your lifetime though.
Ensign, take us to warp nine.
You had me at Hello.
And there is a theory that hyperspace is an aspect of the force... Well, pretty much everything is, but hyperspace could be more related to it than expected. We actually don’t have an understandable idea of how hyperspace works.
GPS Satellites also take into consideration the slowing down of Earth's Axis Rotation. That is why all satellites have carefully calibrated computer systems, which are extremely fragile.
Don't you love Astrophysics?
There’s also warp speed travel.
Awesome video Greedo
I'm reading in in-development RPG called Lancer that has the lightspeed-delay accounted for within human civilization; Cosmopolitans, as spacefaring people are called, have subjective and real ages, and a major faction spent 1000 years in a generation ship fleeing a dying earth to arrive 10,000 years after they left, to find that humanity had already rebuilt itself and made faster engines, and built a colony on the planet they were speeding towards.
Space Science Son, Spience
"Cutting the sub-light engines." Perhaps they use these terms we recognize as meaning something that we don't realize. Similar how they don't say laser gun but instead say blaster, perhaps when they say sub-light, light speed, and hyperspace, they mean things we don't understand. And don't even need to. I'm recalling too, bro, how George says it's not sci-fi 'cause we don't explain this shit, we just show some cool ships and gadgets and all. Lights speed could mean "Light it up! We're going somewhere Quick!" Perhaps the technology includes keeping human bodies intact inside the vessel. Or could it be they are 'held' like we are on a train or car. Now curious on that Apollo video; don't they feel the strain? They aren't moving around, getting on with their exercises or all thanking the captain at once.
But Star Wars uses Hyperspace Lanes, no? That's why some say the Holdo Maneuver was weird, because you don't just _"Jump to Light Speed"_ but you're using these special lanes on a strange dimension paired to going really fast.
Other than that, this is a topic I've always found fascinating, but also a bit sad. I'm almost certain that even if extraterrestrial life exists, we'll probably never ever have contact, simply because how ridiculous distances are. If Einstein's theories explain the Universe, then being able to travel 99.999999% at the speed of light is meaningless. Aliens (or us) would have to live for hundreds, thousands, millions of years to just get anywhere in the cosmos. So either Einstein is wrong, or a different type of travel method would have to be found for realistic interstellar travel. And because of the principle established by The Fermi Paradox, I don't believe such methods are really possible, or someone would have found us already. We may be confined to our small pocket of the Universe forever.
But hey, that's just a theory, *A SCIENCE THEORY* , thanks for watching.
No, hyperspace lanes are commonly traveled and very well mapped routes. You can jump from anywhere to anywhere but if they are unique points you must do all the calculations rather than depend on established knowledge. Striking a course at random probably means many shorter jumps since you cant know whats in the way beyond the nearest large objects.
I’ve been seeing a lot of comments stating that hyperdrive is like wormhole travel through hyperspace. But here’s something to consider
I don’t think they ever use the word “hyperspace” in the movies. They’ll say “jump to lightspeed” but never hyperspace. Hyperspace is in the books but not the movies.
Could we have conflicting methods of FTL travel in the franchise?
They do use the word Hyperdrive
0:11 meatbags? Is that a HK-47 refrence?
excellent video Greedo.
The video we have been waiting for! Im going to go make some pop corn and watch this.
I like how mass effect does light speed they use a positive charge through a fictional element (element zero) creates a mass effect field that reduces the ships mass to zero allowing it to travel great speeds
I love the way you say “Big asssss”
Cool! Your voice is oddly suitable for science talk
great video, very valuable!
Fascinating. I have hope in the future and I hope we can meet those galaxies far away awaiting to be discovered.
Hopefully the world will decide to take that path. With hope. Hope? A New Hope? Oh, boy! Here we go! 😁
I LOVE THIS!
We will never be able to travel to the nearest star.
Boooooooo
We shall see
We potentially can. All we have to do first is answer the question of immortality, or at least significantly increased longevity. Then, to make things a bit quicker, we will have to find means of going near the speed of light, which is still possible, as long as we don't go the speed of light.
At 2:28 how can we see stars 46 billion light years away when the universe is only 13.8 billion years old? 🤔
SPACE IS BIG
And awsome are future is out there
So going at the speed of light is kind of like time travel?
So... if Kessel is a good example of a mining facility. Slaves and all. Did Lando own slaves when he ran Bespin?
if you could travel with the speed of light it would take you zero time to get anywhere .. or in other words the distances reduce to zero lenght. so in a way the speed of light would be fast enough.. its like infintitely fast.. only the universe around you would have aged dramatically
The First Order is so screwed in Episode 9. Yoda can use Force Thunder affecting the real world, and now the Resistance is gonna hyperspace ships with Droids in them. R.I.P.
Prometheus I know, I was joking lol.
STAR WARS SERIES ignored the TIME DILATION
That one guy who doesn't understand simple science and disliked this vid....
I just put it together that we live in the Outer Rim. :p
Hey v-scause, Hello Greedo here
This is an amazing video. I has that we live in a time where we have to say no to this. I get that things with mass can’t move at the speed of light but we’re humans. We will most likely at some point in the future find a way around it. But it just sucks that I know that something I love will never be even close to a reality for the little time I have on earth. It’s depressing. But anyway great video. Please make more like this if you get more time.
No, the millinium fulcan can make 0.5 past light speed.
Imagine the vastness of space how small we all our? To think God is bigger than all of it and created all of it is quite amazing!
Yeah but......I thought the earth was flat. 😂😂😂
HelloGreedo disliked his own video, because he is a stormtrooper.
I love shit like this
U forgot Ludicrous Speed the speed that is a lot faster than LightSpeed!
Huh, a video talking about time dilation.... right when Eckhart just posted one...
A week ago or so we found out that we were making similar videos. So, we decided to upload them at the same exact time and pin one another's videos in the comment section.
😊
our solar system is on the outher rims of the milky way. the organims on the center of the milky way might have better tech than ous by now
But why would han go back to proxima?
man, 20hrs and no one had replied to that?! it's hilarious!
Gabriel Badea Thanks😂
Heeeey, Vsauce. Greedo here.
vsauce here
well alright then! haha!
Star Wars and science?
Thanks im looking forward to first Man
I don’t like acting like a nerd here, but nothing can travel faster than light in normal space... And when ships in Star Wars do their jumps, they don’t travel through normal space. Perhaps any possible, future means of space travel will work in a similar way, or at least cheat and move space around them.
Kathleen Kennedy and RIan Johnson ruined you too ;) lol cause porgs and stuff love you dude btw would you ever wear a first order helmet ?
Professor Greedo, out.
come on impirial? :/
Meh. Ultimate Overdrive is what it's all about.
Stop using the imperial systemmmmmmmmmm
Ew miles...
