Today we'll be looking at the ONLY realistic ways to get to Alpha Centauri. By our current technological capabilities, a spaceship accelerated to 80km/s would have to travel for roughly 18000 years to get to Alpha Centauri. For reference, in this timeframe, humans progressed from creating the first organized settlements to our modern-day society. So conventional fuel isn’t an option.

@@carlolrac7889 Of course.
None of these speeds accounted for special relativity so the actual time taken would be lesser than what is given here
Tell USA that there is oil near Alpha Centauri, I'm sure they will innovate warp drive within a few weeks.

Why should I go to Alpha Centauri, when Alpha Centauri can come to me!
Who's the Alpha now?
They should call it Beta Centauri.
That already exists. Maybe Gamma Centauri or Delta Centauri

Nasa just needs to watch an Indian guy's TH-cam tutorial on how to make an space warping drive.
Nasa already has more than enough Indians. And most of them might be youtubers. Lol
jokes aside, they alrrady have an idea on how to do so, but they have no fuel for it

Wait, he's Indian??

Everybody talking about how smooth the ad was slipped in but no ones talking about how good the video is ;-;
it wasnt smooth , just annoying , I have no problem with sponsors , but at least make it clear that you're gonna get sponsors'd , like even when there's a transition (like in yiay for exemple) it's usualy a good transition and it's not like he just throw it in like some kind of sponsor jumpscare and when there's no transition , it's fine then because it's not related , this guy somehow managed to make the sponsor related and unrelated at the same time , wich just makes you feel like all of what he said earlier was part of the sponsor , that sucks , that sponsor sucked , that """""""transition""""""" sucked , I hate this !!!
THE FAKE PIE sponsors are one of the main ways smaller TH-cam channels get paid. Without these sponsorships we would get twice as little videos from this awesome guy. I’d rather have the normal amount of videos which have a couple of seconds of ads, that sponsor-less videos, but twice as little. You should thank these sponsors. Also, “sponsors’d”? Seriously?
@@mastim6617 I said I WAS FINE with sponsors , read all I said before assuming , it's the way he did it that was BAD !!!

Nah man even the vents I use for escaping an 800 pound gorilla with a minigun can't stop that-
I love how all of this is incredibly hard to do but the most likely option is apparently the *actual freaking warp drive.*
Its mind boggling to me that if you get to the theory and mathematics side of things interstellar travel isnt that impossible at all. In my opinion if it were to be our common goal we would even be able to figure out a way to do it in only a century. But that will never be the case. Nonetheless if we dont kill ourselves off our descendents in 10-15 generations down the line may actually see this stuff. We are not milleniums away from it we are centuries away from these hypothetical breakthroughs at most.
For some reason when I start thinking about things like this I get a sense of urgency like it's my reality and something needs to be done now.
Watching videos related to space always warp your perception of time and how fleeting the existence of humanity is. I know that feel. Humans may be stupid but it’s interesting how they desperately avoid extinction and I am excited to what they would become if interstellar travel is made possible. Unimaginable controversy may happen, but if afterlife does exist, from the 5th dimension I would like to observe how humanity will become.

A Kugelblitz isnt a black hole made from light, its a black hole made from energy
Doesen’t E=mc2 say Energy is the speed of light squared
Wait,so does this mean you can focus a trillion endustrial furnaces or some stars heat and still make a kugelblitz?
Light is a form of energy duhh
I knew about all these methods of movement...but I never thought of the one with nukes. It's far more powerful than I expected too, "only" 43 years. What about that method + a solar sail to slow down? Though I guess there's not enough time to slow down all that speed from the nukes in that "short distance" with a solar sail.
Interstellar travel will almost certainly require some kind of warp drive or similar technology. Not just because of the time other tech would take to reach their destination but because of time itself. Any tech that involves actually accelerating to any fraction of the speed of light hit the whole relativistic time dilation issue. But just riding that sweet sweet spacetime wave gets around that issue. Plus, if you hit a micro meteor or other small object traveling at said fraction then that could be game over for everyone on the ship.
Hitting an atom would disintegrate the shit. Work the physics on what happens if an atom hits something at near light speed and you will see exactly how bad that is. Hydrogen would fuck your shit up...
No, if any relatively small object enters the space bubble it will hit the ship at the speed the ship is travelling Inside the space bubble so it won't harm it, remember that inside the bubble it obeys the laws of relativity so inside the bubble it hits the ship at a very low speed
@@ibemper1850 poor structuring on my part. I meant that for if you were traveling at any relative light speed.
But also, not sure anything could enter the space bubble tho. Think the whole point is you warp spacetime in such a way that any matter in your way is warped around the bubble. Idk, could be wrong on that one.
Since the universe is infinite there’s an infinite chance of hitting a fucking star and an infinite chance to just go through the emptiness of space or smthn
@@NakedWyverns the universe is not infinite 😭😭 spacetime is
FINALLY, I've been waiting for u to post smth i can't live without this channel:)
whats smth?
@@supreetkumar7604 something *
3:08 this may be a bit of a nitpick, but you could just turn your ship retrograde of where you were going and not detonate them in front of the ship
For the last option he gave there's actually a thery that we may be in the 4th dimension not the third only this 4th dimension is so small that only gravity can interact with it. But if Einstein's theory of relativity is true then as gravity is acting on it, it has to be acting on gravity as well. So it may be possible to use this 4th dimension to make a ftl drive.

By far the cleanest transition to a sponsor lol
Another great thing about the Warp Drive is that you’re not *actually* moving faster than light. Let me explain.
If you’re traveling 50% the speed of light and you hit a tiny speck of dust, you’ll explode because you’re moving so fast.
With the Warp Drive, you might pick up a few dust particles in the warp bubble, but they won’t hit you at the speed of light because you’re going slower than that.
So, there’s even *more* great things about the Alcubierre Drive than just speed.
Holy moly I remember this was a very channel when I subbed. Nice to see the progress after a long time.
Wow man the warp drive is theoretically possible. That would be insane if humans manage to achieve such technology before becoming extinct
4:10 wait a super giant laser on a moon?
Why i am hearing Vader's theme?
Thats no moon...
Mars my man
@@cometaHavoc that's a space station
MY SUPER LAZER PISS
You build a few giant lasers and use them to push the spacecraft. The first thing the lasers push however will likely be other lasers with massive onboard reverse thrust capacity to slow them down........... so those lasers are in place ahead of time to slow you down.
When you mention travel methods in the far future and you have a fifty year time frame till the black hole arrives.
The best channel ever, combines my 2 favorite things, humour and science
The transition to the ad is so smooth
The problem with antimatter is that it requires alot of energy. a freaking dyson sphere can solve that problem avoiding the risks of making a black hole
Antimatter output energy is 100% efficient more than ur my mind can imagine, but yes it will require 1% of the energy's from the sun so....
*the transition to ad was smooth af*
love you Sciencephile
Why does this channel always make me laugh, or give me existential dread?
Love your enthusiasm in this film
Keep up the good work 👍
The coolest concept I heard of space travel was the possibility of manipulating gravity itself. You basically alter gravity so your ship is "falling" in whichever direction you want it to go.
I will use this and be. Rich - secret agent belonging to Elon musk
I think black holes could be the perfect fit for that theory since their gravitational pull is insane; good luck controlling one though, or actually figuring out how to use them for that theory altogether. I just thought about this other possibility: setting a base on a planetoid or a comet, or getting as close to them in order to orbit them, and then de-orbiting them from their original path and using their momentum for the speed, resulting in these planetoids or comets working as some sort of bus that'll take us along with them on their new path to our intended destination.
Also apparently space and time is related, thus you _can_ speed up (or rather, "slow" down) your local space-time to be faster than the speed of light in pretty much everywhere else.
Confusing? Yeah it is.
@@sonetagu1337 local informer of top secret information to Elon musk says: hmm.... Seems important.

That transition to the sponsor ad is smooth af, just like all your other videos. Meme + Science ftw!
Ikr I was comment the same thing
what sponsor?
Agree
The first piece you play I play for my marching band show!!
Probably one of my favorite video of this channel
I have never seen such a well placed ad in my life.
Instructions unclear, all of the stars around my vessel have all simultaneously disappeared. All that remains is void.
ah shit you may have to self destruct your vessel, before that upload your mind to the cloud.
That was the smoothest ad plug i have ever seen lol

This channel is so cool, and this was a great video. And I have NO problem with how this guy wants to include his sponsors in his videos.
Ooo you think I slick I like how you made the comparison and then slid that add in there perfection
The last ship that was powered by a generated black hole disappeared for nine years before reappearing around Neptune, and on the way the crew went mad and killed each other, then the ship sent to rescue it had its crew largely killed too, all while the guy who designed it went insane too and said "Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see!"
I'll bet it would get to the good hookers before Charlie Sheen though.
😂 at at least we know there's one group of hookers Charlie hasn't been to yet, those in Space

3 years and nobody still hasn't got the Event Horizon reference
Wasn't there an interesting Theory involving high-density magnets where you could go up to just under the speed of light by charging them with a meagton of electricity
im trying this tutorial ill keep you guys updated
When you spend 2minutes watching an add and then realising it's an add you know its a awesome video
0:27 unless you were commanding the enterprise from star drek
If we moved at near-speed of light velocity, it wouldn't take us ~4.3 years to get to Alpha Centauri, but waaay less, even just a few seconds. You're ignoring time dilation due to Special relativity
Somebody from Earth would see us taking ~4.3 years, but on the starship this is not true.
That was a sneaky segway into an ad as I've ever seen. Well done, A.I.!
