@@Felix-ve9hs I hope that if and when we develop warp drives someone catches up to Voyager 1 and brings it back to Earth to put in a museum, just to prove you wrong
I like to imagine that in ten or a hundred million years, when humans are already long extinct, another species will start the exploration of their solar system far away. Then they find Voyager 1 crashed into one of their moons, being their first evidence for extraterrestial life, even though its creators are already dead.
And imagine they would thought that we still exists and starts searching for us or try to send some signal, but because will not exists anymore they wouldn't found nothing.... or another kind of intelligent life that develop "from" us or not.
Well there is the golden record on board, assuming it survives, that may give them a “record” of our history. So at the very least even if we are long gone, other species will have a slight history of our species.
I think, giving how big the universe is, it would be impossible for voyager to meet anyone right near their planet, while flying in a straight line, of course "they" could find it anyway, but only if their knowledge about space is far better than ours
In another 14,560 years, Voyager one will be one full Lightyear from Earth. A light year. Which is an an enormous distance away from Earth. But it's less than 25% away from the nearest star other than our own.
Take one grain of sand and paint it red with some nail polish or something similar. Then take that one grain of sand and put it on the longest beach you can find and walk away from it for a year. The chances of finding that single red grain of sand would be *much* higher than finding the Voyager satellites out iin space. They will likely travel till the galaxy is gone, and keep going.
@@JamesL920 it's a reference to the vastness of space. There are more stars in the heavens than there are grains of sand on all the world's beaches..its mind bogglingly big
Even at the Speed of Light it would take almost a Day (about 21 hours) to reach Voyager. With the vast distances of the Cosmos the Speed of Light is only just chugging along at a relative snails pace.
Yes, the Speed of Light is slow compared to the size of space Qiancheng Fu so consider the "extreme" speed of Voyager 2 at 16km/s, it would take Voyager 2 78,695.52 Earth years to reach Proxima Centauri and a further 3,747.41 years to reach the main binary stars of the system a further 0.2 Light years away (approx). 😂😂😂 To quote the words of my favourite author, "Space is big, really big, you won't believe how big space is, you may think that it's a long way down to the shops but that's just peanuts compared to space........................"

Or if the Earth was a 12.7mm diameter marble in Sydney Australia then the Sun is a 1.4 metre diameter ball 150 metres away, at that scale (1 Billion to 1) the nearest stars are in the Indian Ocean about 900km west of Perth.
Take a pad of paper the sun is the cover, earth is the first sheet of paper, voyager is on the back cover, the nearest star is a mile down the road, the edge of our galaxy is in another country and the next nearest one is past jupiter, and that is only 2 galaxies out of the tens of thousands of them that make up our super nebular, of which there are hundreds of them... we are so so small...
Jay Goodman ok so in the early 1950s nuclear detonation tests began to take place underground (for fear of radiation hazards with regular above-ground tests). These very early underground tests took place during Operation Plumbbob and truthfully no one knew exactly what to expect. Of these early tests were 2 in particular: Pascal-A and Pascal-B. These were significant in that the head astrophysicist in charge of designing these tests, Robert Brownlee, had the team set the bomb at the bottom of a hollow column - three feet wide and 485 feet deep - with a four-inch-thick iron cap on top. This iron cap is the “manhole cover”. The test was conducted on the night of July 26, 1957. Brownlee said the iron cap in Pascal-A exploded off the top of the tube like a bat. The cap shot off so fast that he wanted to measure its velocity. So, Brownlee designed a second experiment, Pascal-B. This experiment was deeper at 500 feet deep. They also recorded the experiment with a camera that shot 1 frame per millisecond. On August 27, 1957, the "manhole cover" cap flew off the column with the force of the nuclear explosion. The iron cover was only partially visible in one frame! When Brownlee used this information to find out how fast the cap was going, he calculated it was traveling at five times the escape velocity of the Earth - or about 125,000 miles per hour! That is well over three times faster than Voyager 1! So there you have it, the story of how a manhole cover beat the speed of an $865 million dollar NASA spacecraft.
I want to see something moving 17km/s on the Earth's surface, really show off just how fast that is in relation to us. Edit: I meant from a perspective you can actually register, such as from the ISS.
It would be cool to see an animation of the Voyager 1 going around the world to see how much revolutions it would do in a certain amount of time, but in real life it would burn immediately due to air resistance, the Voyagers weren't made to be aerodynamic, even if ithey were, i don't think aerodynamics would help at that speed.
A US Navy electromagnetic railgun shoots projectiles at 4,500 mph or Mach 6 or 1.25 miles per second. Now that is incredibly fast! But, Voyager is going 8.5 times that speed at 10.7 miles per second. Think about that. And even at that speed, this is only (6/1000) of 1% of the speed of light. We need warp drive and we need it like yesterday.

I think one of the most mind boggling things to consider is that as far away as Voyager seems, compared to the distance to even the nearest star, the Voyager hasn't even left the driveway - like a snail in Omaha trying to walk to Paris.
Imagine being doomed to be alone forever, and the only thing you can jam to is a weird golden pizza that when played only is a bunch of random sounds in different languages
I keep trying to explain to my friends and family how amazing the Voyager is and how mind blowing space is. They just nod their heads and say meh...jeez...if you ask me, there is nothing more mind blowing than the universe. This has actually become a rare hobby for me. I never saw that hobby coming my way : /
Darmin, yep you notice that too. That is because other than this stuff being beyond a lot of people's true comprehension, most people and I do mean most people don't care about anything beyond their own little world. Most people care more about insignificant shit like what is happening in their facebook or other social media. They care only about who is left on the Bachelor or who is singing on the Voice, or any other "reality TV" Show. Try to talk about truly deep and interesting stuff to average people and you simply will never get their attention. They are simple people and will rush off to see what is going on in celebrity news.
@@MajDuty it's pretty sad , really. I was driving last week and some dude crossed the street while on his phone.

What's really coolis that there's a photo of voyager 1 taken from Earth at radio wavelengths. We can literally see it and where it is exactly. (just not in visible light)

To try to put the solar system’s size in perspective, the rings of Saturn are individual rocks that look solid discs but if you were to stand on one of those rocks the closest rock you’d see would be too far to see.
Quick, start ripping parts off Voyager and throwing them ahead of you to slow down your speed. You might slow yourself enough to break from escape velocity and fall back...eventually.
@@calebm.5698 a light day is absolutely nothing. It takes approx 4.2 light YEARS just to reach the nearest star and BILLIONS of light years to go across the galaxy.
@@tawansrithrachaikul4573 see I disagree, my point was that even though it’s a tiny fraction of the distance to the nearest star, it’s still an insanely huge distance. Just puts it all into perspective
@@calebm.5698 Ughh but the purpose of it is to explore stars and galaxies out there, so for its purpose, it should have gone further than that. Just because you find it insane doesn't mean it objectively is.
i have a question, if something is launched into space will it stay the same speed that it was going once it broke the atmosphere? for example, if an object is launched 120mph out of the atmosphere will it forever go 120mph until disrupted by a gravitational pull or collision? or does it slow down?
Sorry if this is a long answer but If it gets pulled by gravity it would increase its velocity because as the potential energy suddenly increases then the object is pulled by its original speed times by the gravitational pull until it either is too slow to break out of the gravitational pull and stays in orbit or has a high enough velocity that helps it escape which would cause drag after slightly slowing the object down
D K so when a gravitational pull disrupts it’s path it will go faster, right? and i was also asking if the object sent to space would stay the same speed forever until it is stopped by something?
Nothing could be closer to the truth than the last statement you made. The Voyager will most likely be the only man made thing left out there after everything else will be gone: us, the Earth, the Sun... Only that tiny piece of metal adrift in cold emptiness. The golden disk in his belly with our voices and music.. all is left of us. Let that sink in your mind and breathe slowly in silence.
We have like a billion years to leave this planet and colonize other worlds. Considering that the pace of developing technology grows so unbelievably quickly (practically all of human inventions have been made in the past couple thousands of years out of the two hundred thousand years that _Homo sapiens_ have existed), I say that we have good chances.
Voyager is going to wind up in a museum before it gets that far out. Unless we annihilate ourselves, the rate that we are growing technology wise, within the next 50 years or so we should be able to travel out there and grab it for posterity.
When I was younger, I thought it would be neat if, when I died, I could be cremated and my ashes used to make some part of a future space probe component, preferably the data output imaging relaying computer's CPU.
Honestly rather than making me feel insignificant, the idea of voyagers husk flying through space even after our demise made me feel better. I imagine aliens will find it in millions of years and wonder what courageous little spark of life sent this guy on its journey.

Got to see both launches then. :) But remember: "Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space." Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
It's amazing to me, a man of the 21st century, that speeds engine capability is still measured by 'horsepower'. What modern person has any conception of what just one horse could do for us? What size of horse? Are we talking thoroughbred or Clydesdale?
A horsepower has nothing to do with horses. A single horse has more than one horsepower or mechanical work. There are horses that have more than 10 workhorse .
A horsepower is 735 watts, it's just an universal unit. Like a kilometer is 1000 meters, a horsepower is 735 watts, kilometers work in base 10, hp in base 7.35. Every unit is relative to something, are your feet one feet long ? Probably not.
As big as the sky is, planes still crash into each other, and as large as the ocean is, ships still collide. Now, with my luck, if I had the opportunity to go to space, I’d collide with some space junk. 😏

Yes because without air resistance an F1 car would be able to do more than 350 km/h no problem. Well it needs air to work so it won't start, but you know xD
Yeah he's just talking about absolute speed (more accurately, velocity) here. I mean cars can't normally fly through a vacuum either. Also if the shuttle had unlimited delta-V it could easily catch up with voyager, moving or not, within a very short timeframe. 1G would do it.

I think one of the most mind boggling things to consider is that as far away as Voyager seems, compared to the distance to even the nearest star, the Voyager hasn't even left the driveway - like a snail in Omaha trying to walk to Paris.
I move faster than the Voyager 1 when my girlfriend tells that she's alone at home
Btw this is a really awesome video great work
undo.kat parents 😪
Vaibhav Dighe hhaaa
I’ll try to leave earlier next time.
Vaibhav Dighe well i move 2 times voyager's speed when my crush said that
Imagine being doomed to be alone forever, and the only thing you can jam to is a weird golden pizza that when played only is a bunch of random sounds in different languages
and also digitally encoded pictures :)
This is the most relaxing youtube video I've watched in a while. Just with all the jazz music and your soothing voice...
I keep trying to explain to my friends and family how amazing the Voyager is and how mind blowing space is. They just nod their heads and say meh...jeez...if you ask me, there is nothing more mind blowing than the universe. This has actually become a rare hobby for me. I never saw that hobby coming my way : /
Darmin, yep you notice that too. That is because other than this stuff being beyond a lot of people's true comprehension, most people and I do mean most people don't care about anything beyond their own little world. Most people care more about insignificant shit like what is happening in their facebook or other social media. They care only about who is left on the Bachelor or who is singing on the Voice, or any other "reality TV" Show. Try to talk about truly deep and interesting stuff to average people and you simply will never get their attention. They are simple people and will rush off to see what is going on in celebrity news.
@@MajDuty it's pretty sad , really. I was driving last week and some dude crossed the street while on his phone. It looked like I was about to hit him, but it was perfect timing and he got passed my car. I was like "wow that guy is good with timing and he is on his phone. " Then I looked in the mirror and someone hits him with their car in the knee and he does some kind of jump and then continues walking , glued to his phone. That idiot got so lucky, he didn't even get hurt.
F1 racing car: Nobody can surpass my speed, am the best!
Voyager 1:Hold my Solar Panel.
F1 racing car: Nobody can surpass my speed, am the best!
Voyager 1:Hold my radioisotope thermoelectric generator (v1.1)
Was thinking about this 10 minutes ago on my drive home and somehow it's in my recommended. Crazy
Yeah same. I was thinking about what will happen if i didn't exist. Somehow it's on my recommendation!
What's really coolis that there's a photo of voyager 1 taken from Earth at radio wavelengths. We can literally see it and where it is exactly. (just not in visible light)
the speed of light: *Is this a joke that..im too fast to understand?*
Voyager 1: Is some type a matter telling a joke or something?
Black Hole: Shut up im tryna sleep
look up manhole cover from nuclear test reaching 99.9% speed of light
good one, professor.
shridhar bhat you got that wrong: it did 199.9% light speed.
@@not_riley nonononono, nothing is faster than light
To try to put the solar system’s size in perspective, the rings of Saturn are individual rocks that look solid discs but if you were to stand on one of those rocks the closest rock you’d see would be too far to see.
Think about slipping through time and space. Its really interesting to think about. We just photographed the first black hole in 2019.
Why some people say We when they discuss about a matter that they don't have any part in it?
Photographed 1st black hole,👍🤣🤣🤣🤣
The good production, smooth sound quality, and the jazz really made this vid great. Subbed
sorry... but your voice makes me want to fall asleep
brice Roberts in a good way or a bad way? 😂
It’s good though, as it means you’re completely comfortable with the narration. I listen to science documentaries b4 I go to sleep at night.
count the music in too, that was a smooth jazz even though i dont really like jazz
Maybe he's depressed at the results of the thought experiment.
All good. I needed a good nap. Just had to watch the end again when I woke up! (I really was sleepy)
Help me!!!
I'm stuck on Voyager 1!!!
You're in deep doodoo. sorry
oh no!!!
Quick, start ripping parts off Voyager and throwing them ahead of you to slow down your speed. You might slow yourself enough to break from escape velocity and fall back...eventually.
@@not_riley Or crash into the Sun. That's gonna be on hell of a ride ether way xD
you got a rope? im in voyager 2
Voyager 1: It took me 42 years to get where I am.
Light: ok I'll see you in 19 hours.
Still crazy to think that it would almost take a day for light to reach voyager, that’s insane how far away that really is
@@calebm.5698 and we want to travel a light year.
@@calebm.5698 a light day is absolutely nothing. It takes approx 4.2 light YEARS just to reach the nearest star and BILLIONS of light years to go across the galaxy.
@@tawansrithrachaikul4573 see I disagree, my point was that even though it’s a tiny fraction of the distance to the nearest star, it’s still an insanely huge distance. Just puts it all into perspective
@@calebm.5698 Ughh but the purpose of it is to explore stars and galaxies out there, so for its purpose, it should have gone further than that. Just because you find it insane doesn't mean it objectively is.
i have a question,
if something is launched into space will it stay the same speed that it was going once it broke the atmosphere?
for example, if an object is launched 120mph out of the atmosphere will it forever go 120mph until disrupted by a gravitational pull or collision? or does it slow down?
Sorry if this is a long answer but If it gets pulled by gravity it would increase its velocity because as the potential energy suddenly increases then the object is pulled by its original speed times by the gravitational pull until it either is too slow to break out of the gravitational pull and stays in orbit or has a high enough velocity that helps it escape which would cause drag after slightly slowing the object down
D K so when a gravitational pull disrupts it’s path it will go faster, right?
and i was also asking if the object sent to space would stay the same speed forever until it is stopped by something?
ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS FOLLOW THE DAMN VOYAGER 1 CJ!
I hope you had a nice day 🤗😁

@Kenn Honson You're every where Kenn, with two N's.
Nothing could be closer to the truth than the last statement you made. The Voyager will most likely be the only man made thing left out there after everything else will be gone: us, the Earth, the Sun... Only that tiny piece of metal adrift in cold emptiness. The golden disk in his belly with our voices and music.. all is left of us. Let that sink in your mind and breathe slowly in silence.
Well, that and Elon's roadster.
We have like a billion years to leave this planet and colonize other worlds. Considering that the pace of developing technology grows so unbelievably quickly (practically all of human inventions have been made in the past couple thousands of years out of the two hundred thousand years that _Homo sapiens_ have existed), I say that we have good chances.
it gives me the goosebumps just thinking about it
Voyager is going to wind up in a museum before it gets that far out. Unless we annihilate ourselves, the rate that we are growing technology wise, within the next 50 years or so we should be able to travel out there and grab it for posterity.
At least the music that was sent is good, not the shit from current times. Rock out, my little green dudes
Well done sir this is perfect and a perfect way to really put it in perspective for someone who isn't a space junkie
arent the speeds on the Space Shuttle wrong? it says 28968 km/h but 38612 mph
it should be like 18000 miles per hour, roughly...
Americans can't handle metric ?
And the Space Shuttle traveled about 25K miles per hour, so both are wrong.
@@anonygent lol, thats hillarious ^^
Well, it was fast. He got that correct.
I come for the information.
I stay for the music
8:04 is that a typo?
WOW!!! Mind boggling!!! Well done, man!
40 years of rocket powered good times and smooth jazz.
When I was younger, I thought it would be neat if, when I died, I could be cremated and my ashes used to make some part of a future space probe component, preferably the data output imaging relaying computer's CPU.
Honestly rather than making me feel insignificant, the idea of voyagers husk flying through space even after our demise made me feel better. I imagine aliens will find it in millions of years and wonder what courageous little spark of life sent this guy on its journey.
Luckily, it contains the Voyager Golden Record, which contains information about Earth and humanity
I mean, I knew that Voyager was a quicc boi, but u didn't think it was *hella quicc*
*H A W T*
Fast? Not enough. it would take more than 70,000 years to reach the nearest star.
magnomaxx2010 is voyager slow? or are stars very far?
@@jorgefitzgerald4684 The Voyager is slow TO reach stars, that are very far...
dum quicc
Came here for voyager, stayed here for the voice and the jazz.
I like the background music
Yes, the soft jazz really helps to offset the forlorn feelings brought on by the subject matter :)
This was an amazing and beautiful video. I love space and the comparisons people make about how big it is. This was great to watch. Thank you
For what it is worth, there is an error in the space shuttle speed conversion to MPH
Sue him
This is by far one of the best videos on the subject I have seen. And, yes, my head did spin.
its been 60 million miles since this video has been uploaded
Around 280 million miles since your comment
around 4.4 million miles since your comment.
And about 6800 mi in the time to watch this vid
i dont know the math so some amount of miles since 26 minutes ago
Right now it would be 420 million miles away man
You mean VGer?
I was thinking that through the entire video. Missed at least half of the video thinking about movie.
Great to see fans of ST TMP are still around :)
Sorry..that's Voyager 6 and destined for a black hole😆
Nerd alert....nerd alert...... nerd alert..... jk....is it bad that I know what this means? Lol 😂
That was Voyager 6, and is destined for a black hole. But that lady was creepy. “VGer must find the creator.”
And I think going to my work is far lol.. its only 30 mins of driving
lol
That is far AF
I have to say this is a really good video and is filled with mostly good information, I was writing a longer comment about how I was kind of annoyed at lack of accuracy but I totally noticed I was being a pedantic (which I very often can be) and you clearly stated this wasn't the video for people like that. So I deleted what I wrote because I reckon you didn't want people criticizing you for making a more laidback video. So thank you for letting me notice my behavior so I can keep it in check now and for making a great video!
Got to see both launches then. :)
But remember:
"Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space." Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
So you’re saying space is kinda big
David Salinas just a touch yea
Since space itself is expanding, voyager is further away from us than the distance it physically traveled.😹😹😹
Technically that's true... Though not by much
It's amazing to me, a man of the 21st century, that speeds engine capability is still measured by 'horsepower'. What modern person has any conception of what just one horse could do for us?
What size of horse? Are we talking thoroughbred or Clydesdale?
John Sim apparently a horse is actually apparently 15 horsepower
Why does it amaze you? It is something simple that everyone can understand.
The term horsepower will probably outlast actual horses
A horsepower has nothing to do with horses. A single horse has more than one horsepower or mechanical work. There are horses that have more than 10 workhorse .
A horsepower is 735 watts, it's just an universal unit. Like a kilometer is 1000 meters, a horsepower is 735 watts, kilometers work in base 10, hp in base 7.35. Every unit is relative to something, are your feet one feet long ? Probably not.
I thought the fastest earthly object was a toddler who just grabbed your phone off the table. Uncatchable.
The X-15 was not a jet, it was a rocket-plane. That is, it provided its own oxidizer.
Rocket powered aircrafts are jet aircrafts... Jets have two categories, airbreathing and non-airbreathing.
That's technically true but not commonly used.
Okay. Good for you. Nowfuck
The size of space/the universe is just absolutely mind boggling....It's just unreal.
6:56 The X-15 isn't officially a jet, it was propelled by a rocket engine.
THANK YOU for using metric and imperial both as measurements :)
"Many people have trouble comprehending the true size of the universe."
love u
What would happen if it t-boned you at an intersection?
hehe, there would be a certain amount of 'unpleasentness'
Man from Nantucket insurance still wouldn’t cover it
You would be obliterated along with anything several hundrends of meters ahead.
State Farm would probably cover it. Might have a couple bruises
The kinetic energy would create a massive explosion and leave a massive amount of damage to a large area.
i run faster when my mom takes out the belt.
I'd stand still and bend over
@@EpicNova311 Yeah, you would.
you mean flip-flops?
it move so fast it out paces the radio waves it sends back to us.
I think you made an error on the space shuttle. The number for MPH is greater then the number for km/h which doesnt realy make sense.
CherryNetwork MPH = kph x 0.6
Miles are greater than Km. But MPH not greater than KMPH
What if voyager 1 touches my spagett.
XD pewdiepie memes!

Light : Hold my Photons!!!!!!
The topic is anxiety inducing but his voice and the music just brings calm vibes 😂
It's fun to think about how deep and far space is. Thanks for the video.
fun? you spelled depressing incorrectly.
As big as the sky is, planes still crash into each other, and as large as the ocean is, ships still collide. Now, with my luck, if I had the opportunity to go to space, I’d collide with some space junk. 😏
Exactly the same thing would happen to me.
Actually unless properly mapped out there is a good chance you will hit space trash leaving earth

Gotta say this was wonderfully done sir.
Loved this vid, was high on Cannabis and your voice and music put me in a trippy relaxed mood. 😂🌿
Isar Soussa never been to a legal state huh
You sound like an undercover cop pretending to get into the crowd 😂
palmeristo using the word cannabis actually reduces the stigma around people using it recreationally and to treat illnesses. if a 40 year old man went around talking about how he ‘smokes kush’, people would think he’s a drug addict. correct terminology = less ‘refer madness’
@@ice8776 calm there pal, he was just saying
Lol people are actually making fun of you for saying Cannabis instead of kush, dank, weed or whatever other ridiculous name for it. As if those sound better than cannabis... The scientific name for the plant is Cannabis sativa.
i love the comparison a lot.. but you know what i love the most in this vid? the jazz play at the back... OOMPH
Is that zero zero miles per hour?
2:49 “air resistance?” So there’s air in outer space?
There is gas and dust and radiation that all exert some force on any space craft.
In space, no. But he is comparing the voyager with earth objects that are effected by the air resistence.
Yes because without air resistance an F1 car would be able to do more than 350 km/h no problem. Well it needs air to work so it won't start, but you know xD
This was really good! thumbs up! :)
actually these speed are calculated when air resistance was acting on them
Yeah he's just talking about absolute speed (more accurately, velocity) here. I mean cars can't normally fly through a vacuum either. Also if the shuttle had unlimited delta-V it could easily catch up with voyager, moving or not, within a very short timeframe. 1G would do it.
Dumb dumb planes cant fly without air resistance
Aliens: who's still making these, lameeeee
2:03 "Making a left turn at Jupit--- LOOK OUT! GONNA CRASH!!"
