I'm an author on the LIGO project. The explosion did not shake the universe afterward. The vibration is what's recorded just before the two neutron stars or black holes joined. This is the result of the two bodies rotating around each other as they get closer and closer. Right afterward, there is no vibration and no gravitational waves are produced from an explosion.
@@socialmeaslesinpartnership1252 Yes, I was there at the beginning of the LIGO project. I designed the 7 pick-off telescopes and the end mass telescope of the system. I designed the optics housing for analysis of the return beam from the ultra-flat mirror at the end of the right angled vacuum tubes. I also designed the device that calibrated the flatness of the return mirrors, a process that took over a week to analyze. I interchanged concepts and engineering data with several physicists at Caltech. Therefore, please tell me your qualifications to question my integrity and expertise on this subject! Maybe you should read my book, Infinity, Time, Death and Thought should your intellectual capacity be capable of absorbing the information.
No, he means that they do not explode. And the gravitational waves are generated before they merge to gether. When they do merge they do not generete then in the same amplitude. Grav waves are produced by the interaction of 2 blacj holes. Not the actual merger. Make sense?@@ilimitless

This was recorded on my 50th birthday so thank you! One thing I'd like to point out about UFO's that Mr. Gaensler wholly neglects to consider is that while yes, we do have cell phones with somewhat decent cameras, they are mainly designed for close up shots and not distance. It is also very difficult, if not impossible, to focus them on small objects that are far away, and especially anything in bad lighting or at night. For example, watch a plane fly by up in the sky and try and get a good picture of it. It is difficult if not impossible even under good conditions. Secondly, most of the recent incidents of the last two decades that have been tracked by the military and also seen by commercial pilots are often over the ocean and or at very high altitudes. Lastly, we cannot just dismiss what is actual recorded evidence by the military and pilots including radar records of objects moving in and then back out of our atmosphere at extreme speeds that we humans are not nearly capable of. There is in fact a lot of evidence that cannot be easily shrugged off. While some events can of course be explained by professional skeptics such as Mick West, there are still many more events which cannot be simply dismissed as "anomalies". And to be clear, it's very disturbing that people like this, people who are apparently smart and dedicated to their profession, would so quickly and wantonly dismiss such incidents simply because it's not really within their area of study (when in fact it kinda, sorta actually is lol). My point is that these may just be the droids we are looking for. And just because we haven't figured everything out yet, it doesn't mean other potentially advanced civilizations who could have a million-year jump or more of evolution over us...already have figured things out. Just like how we are exploring Mars with what is essentially a drone, so could an advanced civilization explore us with super-advanced drones, possibly ones that are completely autonomous free-thinking AI that have developed over tens of thousands of years. Think about what we have accomplished just in the last 50 years with technology and now add 1,000 or 100,000 years to that and think where we could be. Therefore we simply cannot rule out the possibility, however extreme and unimaginable, that in various places of our galaxy we may have neighbors who are doing or have already done the same and much greater. It is estimated that there are 100 Billion or more Red Dwarf stars in our Galaxy. There's quite a lot of potential out there. So I say.. let’s keep the faith!
Well said. I'm sure you're well aware of the multitude of reasons why people like this can't just come out and say that UFO's are everything we imagine them to be and then some.
Just because you "see" something on RADAR does not mean that it's a solid object. RADARs can be spoofed and this is a common military tactic. It wouldn't surprise me if many of the "UFOs" were actually Russian aircraft playing wargames during the cold war.
@@kimchristensen2175 you really need to look at modern military radar and sonor technology as opposed to anything 60+ years ago. There is substantial evidence, only a small fraction of which was released about the 2004 F-18 incidents and others since then, but if you also take the time to listen to their accounts and the others since then you get a much bigger picture of the much larger powderkeg of data the US military is sitting on. And no, it’s definitely not the Russians or Chinese. No country on the planet has multiple craft that can come in from space, down to sea level in mere seconds, and then back up and out again. Nope. They tracked this stuff for weeks. Multiple events. Its not just some anomaly to fit in with people’s safe space. Sorry, but no.
For real I was like “hell ye--.... wait a minute... hmmm” how quickly one can cheapen a great lecture... then I had reign in my judgy mind and realize that it’s probably an honest mistake.
I am better off having seen this video. Thank you. That being said, when I was in high school a loooong time ago I was shown a picture of an atom and told this is what it looks like. Many years later...I came to understand that we didn't actually know what it looked like. I felt a bit betrayed, and then reflected back on the absolute arrogance of the establishment. Be vigilant. We don't know what we don't know so please be careful stating absolutes... Thanks again. Really enjoyed.
So true. I feel the same way when I hear people say, “... is impossible because it violates the laws of physics”. The “laws” of physics. Aren’t most of those so called “laws” just theories? Even, arguably, the most important one isn’t even a “law”, “the theory of relativity”. The “Laws” of Physics are simply the theories of physics as we understand it “now”. If “we” are unwilling to think, design and function outside of the “laws of physics”, we will continue to stagnate instead of innovating and constantly making giant leaps in technology, advancing our civilization & species, in harmony with our galactic neighbors.

He left one faster-than-light scheme out: traversable wormholes. It was strange that he didn't mention them, because he mentioned both Kip Thorne and the movie Contact, and not only were wormholes the method of FTL travel used in that film, but Thorne suggested it to Carl Sagan when Sagan wrote the book. Also, the "hyperspace" drive used in Star Wars is closer to the wormhole idea than it is to warp drive.
In order to travel through a worm hole, you need some kind of force field powerful enough to deflect the gravitational field that created the worm hole.
@@thishandleistacken The idea of creating a field bubble to push your craft through space is fascinating and maybe possible. The question is, could the craft handle the stress on the hill?

Do you then start out with "try to be skeptical the most" ? Or just merge with fantasy audience rhetorics? I have nothing against the lecturer nor enthusiasm ,but more important is thorough examination of claims.
Just because we have a theorem or law that accurately describes a phenomenon, doesn't necessarily mean it is a correct representation. They are merely best fits, and if they are wrong even slightly, it can lead us down paths that may seem logical, but still wrong. Ex: Newton's laws describe accurately the motion of bodies in space to a point, but it took a complete shift in perception to get Einstein's relativity and special relativity.
Never stopped them before. The math for the Manhattan project relayed an answer that the reflux from the implosion would be infinite. But that never stopped them. Same with CERN, its an agreed theory that there's a tiny bit more matter than anti matter, and if there was even the same amount of antimatter as matter the whole universe would implode inwards on it's self. Yet... Here we are making antimatter.
I listen to a lot of documentories and this one is by far the best I have ever viewed. I learned meny things that I have pondered over and will watch it some more times to grasp some of the things I may have missed. Thank you for hosting this and binging it to the public eye.

Science has everything to do with science fiction. It fuels the imagination and speculates not only on the what-ifs of the future, but the what-ifs of the past. I have met scientists that were very unfamiliar with any important sci-fi literature or authors and was shocked by that. Sci-fi usually serves as a magnet for young scientists. If I were king of my own kingdom and were to appoint a Minister of Science and Technology .. I would want this person to be an enthusiastic science fiction fan.

@Phil Silverman The tech to get a human to alpha-centauri is soo very extreme, it is likely we will find other ways to achieve our goals (or find other more valuable ones) by the time civilization gets that advanced. While its a worthy attempt and will undoubtedly have important spinoff technologies (like Alchemy to Chemistry), the attempt to get a soft bodied creature like ourselves to the EXTREMELY violent high velocities needed for interstellar travel is even more crazy than the Alchemist desire to create gold from lead. You being hit by a grain of sand at those velocities is equivalent to a Hiroshima type nuclear bomb. In the 20th century, we "could" devote a quadrillion dollars to build particle accelerators to transmute a few grams of lead into gold, but it would be a huge waste of resources when we can do so much more interesting things with that technology that Alchemists never dreamed of. Along the same line, my feeling is by the time we have technologies which could make interstellar travel possible for humans, wasting our resources to create actually realize that would be silly. Long before we can rocket to the stars, we would have very advanced telescopes that will be able to allow us to virtually examine those worlds as if we were there, and possibly quantum supercomputers that can run simulations of an encounter with known aliens to 99.9999% accuracy, making the real thing quaint and unnecessary, and possibly also less valuable, intrusive, and dangerous. If our future culture desires or needs some form of intrusive agency on the universe (which is doubtful if any kind of prime directive is developed), we may be able to send out more "disruptive" probes or even our consciousness out into the universe through some complex electromagnetic soliton propagation that would be much more effective than sending our soft bodies. Who really knows, but whatever is the case, it is unlikely to be Star Trek or Star Wars, even if fantasies along those lines will allow us to the develop the more interesting and important stuff.
I have to say this video was a bit of a let down. The title is "Warp Drive and Aliens" and all he really says about warp drives is "pfft. they'll probably never work".
Maybe because they won't? Reality is what it is and translation (either travel or communication) FTL is simply impossible, period. And if the physics didn't say that, the Fermi Objection would be strong evidence for it anyway. Because if it were possible, others long ago would have invented it, and they would already be not only here but everywhere.
@@oldionus actually it is far more plausible that he says, other scientists have figured out that literally the only issue for the last one he says won't work is that he mentioned an outdated version of the theory and the fact he forgot of they have found ways that might be able to create that effect
Every time people see a UFO, they tend to assume that our science fictions can become a reality sometime in the future - which are all based on the imaginations of science fiction writers - warp speed, teleportation, antigravity, green aliens and Captain Kirk
I saw a red light in the night sky a couple weeks ago. it slowly moved around in an odd way, after around a minute or two of this it shot off in a streak of white light. One of the most surreal things I’ve ever seen and immediately made me realise the reality of “science fiction”.. this shit really exists
You're right it does exist and our government has it and a bunch of other places have it Russia has it they can disappear you they can fucking go from one place they can teleport all right like I can prove it I can give you the information so you can find out for yourself
From my understanding Aliens are using antigravity and they bend space like a fabric to shorten the distance from point A to point B, creating temporary wormholes to travel through. They may be interdimensional as well as interstellar.
@@Kierant2010 I've just watched The Action Lab channel do an experiment on quantum locking and I am very impressed, surely this can be used to generate clean energy? How does this translate to space travel? Are you saying that the alien craft is a superconductor and space is the magnet? What is your thoughts on Bob Lazar stating in the late 80s that element 115 is the fuel to these craft?
@Hughmon Writes .....says a random jock who probably has sketchy bits of grasp on overall subject of physics. Unless if you can give the courtesy to demonstrate some well known equations to prove me otherwise, which i doubt it'll be the case LoL.
I could literally listen to this man talk all day long-absolutely fascinating, and I appreciated the humor👏 Admittedly, I am a tad disappointed with his rather dismissive responses to questions regarding Aliens/UFO’s (and all but ignoring the possibility of a multidimensional universe and inter-dimensional travel) but hey, no one’s perfect right?🛸👽
If the neutron stars colliding was "felt" through the entire universe - was that "shock wave" across the space time fabric at the speed of light such that it coincided with the visual observation of the neutron stars as they collided? Was the shock wave a gravitation force spike/notch tugging on the space/time fabric? Is this why you suggested a black hole was created momentarily? Why would gravity 'waves" propagate at the speed of light? Is there a connection therefore? Is the universe infinite in distance yet expanding at the same time? If so is a gravitation tug responsible for this accelerating expansion in all directions? Why is there no observable light based phenomena for this expansion force? Does phenomena in the universe share any similarities as we approach "infinitely" small and infinitely large phenomena? If so is there any commonality between black holes and this accelerating expansion force? Thanks.
Great questions and ones that I personally think have something to do with the foundations of reality. The waves from the colliding neutron stars must have been felt instantly through quantum entanglement, so there was no time delay and they were not travelling as such as light does. Just like if I held one end of a taught rope in Europe, and you held the other end in America, if I tugged the rope you would feel it instantly. Quantum entanglement I believe will unlock much more understanding into the reality of nature
Answer 1- It's a gravity wave, it moves a little slower than light, so you would actually pick it up first on the telescope, and later on the laser detectors that detect gravity waves. Quantum Entanglement has nothing to do with this Raz, we don't have any way to detect Quantum entanglement. John Bell made a great experiment, that is still not proof of it, though. Answer 2-The connection is all physical matter can only travel at the speed of light. To travel faster, one must warp space, like the Alcubierre equation, which is theoretical. Answer 3- The Universe is not infinite, it's expanding. According to Buddha, this is actually the 84th Big Bang. Answer 4- Dark Energy is responsible for the acceleration of physical matter beyond gravity. This is why we have Stars moving faster on the outer rims of galaxies. The Universe is expanding and accelerating the expansion, it's Newton's law of thermodynamics and Dark Energy. Answer 5- The light hasn't reached us yet. Answer 6-Black Holes are points of incredible mass, they don't speed up expansion, they are also too small to slow it down. It is Dark Energy that is responsible for the acceleration of expansion.
@@carloscastanheiro2933 the thing is, gravity doesn't travel. It is an effect on space time that we observe. If the universe is accelerating apart faster than the speed of light, this shows that it is not in effect travelling. Time is only subjective to us, in our frame of reference. So objects appear to be moving in time. But the true reality is everything is happening at once. This is what I'm referring to when I mention quantum entanglement, which is probably the wrong phrase for such a thing. My head starts to hurt thinking about such things, but they are fascinating none the less
@@Razmatazuk Thanks! Another somewhat related question. What is the relation between trigonometry applied to 2D and 3D spaces and energy that tavels in waves that have angular velocity that is also described by trignometry? It seems that the metric space and the energy that travels within are part of the same phenomena or can be described the same way. If space and travel of energy are related does this somehow explain time and the space time fabric? Sorry for the amateur questions. I'm glad there is someone here that can answer these things in layman terms. Thanks in advance.
I wanted to be an astronomer. However my poor lack of math skills made that impossible. I am grateful that I can get to listen to lectures on TH-cam though.
So the introduction behind with, "first off, we recognize that this land belongs to the first people who lived here.". And then the scientist begins by saying there's no such thing as warp drive. ..,,.
@@bretthess6376 He is just another typical human being who thinks just because he has an interest in something that he can emulate it or provide answers. Thats like a person waking up in the morning, hearing Beethoven, and thinking " hmm, I think I'll write a symphony too! "..... morons
I think the presenter omitted that at our current level of technology, there is no practical warp drive that can be realized as an Engineered propulsion system, within the foreseeable future. He did redeem himself by admitting that "... where there's a will, there's a way." I'm an Electrical and Electronics Engineer, and I do subscribe to the view that a real Warp Drive will be one day Engineered. Engineering depends heavily on theoretical Physicists conferring with Mathematicians to devise theories, to model the observed Physical properties of the Universe and make predictions testable by experiment and observation. Before the first successful transistor was invented in 1947, required the development of the mathematical theory of Quantum Mechanics by 1927 - 28, which in turn depended on the development of James Clerk Maxwell's unified theory of electromagnetism developed in 1861. In addition, experimental physicists needed to conduct the experiments required, guided by the theoretical physics' models, for making discoveries in semiconductor materials that ultimately led to the supporting technological developments, together with the experimental physics and engineering team with the optimal inspired imaginations, that brought into reality the first practical transistor. Before the first practical warp drive is Engineered, the correct Physics' theoretical framework needs to be developed, and the correct supporting technologies need to be invented, together with the right mix of Physicists and Engineers having the optimal inspired imaginations.

@@sanctus864 What? You'd simply flip the ship around 180 and fire the engine to slow down. There'd be no more "blow back" than you had when you were accelerating. Shielding would be a bitch though.
@@kimchristensen2175 Nuclear pulse propulsion (Orion drive) means shooting nukes and riding the blast wave to speed up and slow down. You would need some serious shielding to survive for potentially hundred of nuclear blasts speeding up and slowing down. Slowing down is more problematic because you are flying into the blast rather than riding it to accelerate. It would slow you down, but without heavy and expensive shielding it's rather unsafe. In addition if one of the nukes fails to detonate properly, or just the conventional explosives inside detonate then you run the risk of shrapnel destroying the shielding or the ship. Maybe you can fire hundreds of nukes without a single one failing but since the only way to test a nuke is to blow it up it's a gamble every time. There are safer ways of using fusion to propel a ship but we would need net positive fusion reactors.
@@sanctus864 "Slowing down is more problematic because you are flying into the blast rather than riding it to accelerate" Sorry but that's not how rockets work in space. The exhaust plume doesn't blow back at you like it would in an atmosphere you would be moving through.

I'll give you a hint. The quantum entanglement between two photons is actually a graviton. A graviton can be used to store gravitational potential energy. The shape of the graviton can be controlled by controlling the position of the entangled photons. Gravitational propulsion comes from this technology.
Gravity is a wave, you will never going to find graviton. Saying entanglement is a graviton, nothing short of misinformation. Think about Strong Nuclear Force or we can call it quantum gravity.
There are the "Laws of Physics" you can't deny that. The only thing you can say is that we do not know them all and apparently we have visitors that know more than we do.
@@JayDAnderson You conflate Laws of Physics and Theoretical Physics, 2 different things. The first one has some elements empirically tested the second one - based on relativity, a mathematical transformation from planar coordinates into spherical ones - is an interpretation of a system of coordinates that was built with it, but doesn't really exist. What you can predict really is planar coordinates through convoluted spherical calculations. All the extrapolation in math made from there is at best a waste of time. If there was such a thing as aliens and you start talking Theoretical Physics to them, they would probably pee their pants.
I was super fascinated by this lecture and it blew me away when he said "about the size of Kitchener Waterloo" that city is 15m from my house! I had no idea the forefront of physics is taking place so close toy home. Canadas got some smart cookies I tell ya lol
"what happens if a meteorite tears a hole in your solar sail" - why would you be throwing meteorite at it? Meteor is something in the atmosphere. Meteorite is something that has fallen to Earth. It might seem petter, but he's an astronomer for goodness sake. He also talks about time dilation being a consequence of 'Special Relativity', while that does deal with time dilation, in this context it would be General Theory of Relativity. Special Relativity was Einstein's first paper on the subject dealt with 'special' localised cases, General Relativity deals with it in large scale such as travelling through space.

Always always look to nature when looking for solutions to seemingly impossible problems. When we do so we find that what appears to be incredibly important in nature is spin, and the complex spiralling vortex motion that everything in nature appears to follow... There is a reason a flying saucer is the shape that it is. The challenge before us is not technological, it is philosophical and ideological. We will first need to change our way of thinking about how nature and therefore the universe work.

Teleportation of humans has a big problem: The person being "sent" is deconstructed (and thus killed), while the sent image, while perhaps a perfect reconstruction of the body of the "sent" person, will be a manufactured body, a different instance, either lifeless or a potential host for a different consciousness.
EXACTLY-- the physical is easy-- the ESSENCE is impossible!! WE are not our bodies-- and this failure to be able to transport- proves that we are NOT our bodies-- we're VERY MUCH MORE...
After seeing a ufo 10 years ago, I feel annoyed that your answer to the question "yes, no, maybe?" was just a flat out 'no' it says a lot. My own experience was like a movie but it lasted 3 seconds. The 'flying saucer' I saw was being chased or followed by two fighter jets barely keeping up. It was a clear sky, bright blue mid day. But as everyone knows it's not an everyday occurrence to see what I saw. SO no I didn't have time to take any picture even though at the time I had an iPhone and could have if I was't in shock. It just happened all too quickly for me to react fast enough.
A movie like this can be thought of as conjecture, or a hypothesis geared toward our needs. In some sense, as Feynman had said, the scientific process can involve taking guess and working from there. So, art can be a type of initial scientific process, I suppose
Well let me put it instead like this : Once you have innovated a functional system for a use in society, that is a kind of (figurative) art. Before that you must be creative enough. But you must be able to translate that into something physical that actually relates to real nature. If not ,it will never be an innovation. On the side of that, you will have those esoterics who never actually developed anything but still want to tell the world how the functional and applied tech of others allegedly works. :) It's like the high point of stubborn superstitions. I can assure you that both SpaceX rockets and the NASA EM drive and the USSS...orbiter vessels had no use of the postmodern "physics" philosophers.
I saw three bright small UFO come down from the clouds at night like falling stars playing follow the leader extremely fast doing three spirals then going back up as fast as they came down. The hair raised up on my neck mind blowing vision.
The light sails do NOT use the solar wind, the work purely on the reflected photons. The LightSail 2 was never far enough away from the Earth to experience the solar wind; it's deflected by the magnetosphere of the Earth. It used purely the light from the sun, reflecting the photons. Additionally LightSail was not the first; the Ikonos satellite from JAXA used it to fly around Venus many years ago!
Wow! Thank you so much for the update of where we are and where we're going. We need to learn how to travel by wormhole. By the way, aliens are real and are here.

You are delusional. That means every country will have to convert to a democracy for world peace. We will have to win a war with China, North Korea, Iran and russia etc. Just to name a few and liberate them. Any type of war with these countries will result in a biological or nuclear exchange.

Really enjoyed this lecture, the question that I would have liked to ask is - do you think that AI would be able to solve many of the problems associated with warp drive development, and also detecting planets that could sustain life, and of course detecting aliens.
Yes, robots comunícate with each other for 3 yrs now. They follow INCREDIBLE programa and evolve at quantica speeds. We just need to feed them programa and data.
@@marinaclarasanchezsuarez2905 The AI database builds on information from humans to begin with, which means that it is best at doing "ground work" and effectivizing communication. That could be the dangerous or tiresome or expensive we would do less of. There are some dangers with AI as well which the romantics seem to be too simplistic to fathom. Not to exaggerate it of course. This is always a problem with idealists
It's both, really. Many of them are hilarious to read, but terrifying when you realize the person that put the comment actually believes what they typed.
My friend, I understand how you feel, however, consider the possibility that the scientific community has abandoned the ET/UFO topic due to an extreme bias. Pre-judgement will not lead you to objectivity by its very nature, and we humans are known for our evolved cognitive dissonance (even scientists). Do some homework without anticipating a particular result (as most scientists do) and you may discover that the Fermi-Paradox is no paradox. A good place for you to start if you decide to consider this possibility: www.explorescu.org/aapc-info
@@BenLesel oh Riiight Google something some biased person with an unknown agenda wrote so that only other people with clone minds will accept and publish! hmmm well that seems really objective and makes perfect sense to trust just anybody huh?

41:53 - Negatory, kemosabe! The Alcubierre Drive is fairly simple to assemble once you can create negative mass. It's the negative mass thing which is the problem, though. :P If there's one thing we can be absolutely sure of, it's that the solution to getting between the stars rapidly cannot possibly be imagined by human beings today. Just as the best scientists in 1900 could never have predicted fission or fusion energy, lasers, supercomputers, smartphones, the web, or stealth fighters... neither can we today predict what will happen in the future. Gaensler speaks about human advancement as if it will progress at a very slow rate. This is extremely common. The truth is that human knowledge and ability is accelerating at an accelerating rate. The other great truth is that we will never combine the Standard Model and Quantum mechanics because our current ideas about the nature of the universe are dead wrong. Our ignorance is astounding, and we are so sure it's right. That hubris is currently preventing progress - but things will become untenable soon, and we will see a major change in our fundamental understanding of the true nature of the universe. Once that happens we will begin progressing at a much faster rate than our current crazy rate. And the galaxy will open up to us, or digital versions of humans - which amounts to the same thing. If we can avoid The Great Filter - or if by some fantastic stroke of luck we've already avoided it - then we most certainly will expand to fill the galaxy. The only questions are are: once we start, will it take us 10 million years, or 100,000 years? And, "Will we survive long enough to try?"
*If there's one thing we can be absolutely sure of, it's that the solution to getting between the stars rapidly cannot possibly be imagined by human beings today.* Are you not a human being? If yes, then OK K-Pax. Because honestly you appear to me at least as far as I define the word "imagining", to actually be "imagining" what human beings today, tomorrow, and a thousand years from now will be capable of technologically. Or are you simply unselfaware? *Just as the best scientists in 1900 could never have predicted fission or fusion energy, lasers, supercomputers, smartphones, the web, or stealth fighters... neither can we today predict what will happen in the future.* Uh sure, but it is not as if there were no indications even in the heyday of the early 1900s that human beings understanding of the nature of the universe might be faulty right? Hell there is that moment in science circa 1862 where some famous scientist then and today specifically one Lord Kelvin thought that the sun derives its energy from some form of meteoric impacts and therefore could only be on the order of some 30 million years old. As even then physicists knew that a chemical explanation for the sun's energy output fell far short of the mark and the age of the sun itself. Funny thing is Lord Kelvin even by being mostly wrong, was at least somewhat correct as the sun's energy output is indeed driven in part by its own mass and the gravity well created by that mass at least that is the current understanding of how the sun can output the energy it does without violating already established laws of thermodynamics. Hell in 1896, when Henri Becquerel discovered radioactivity it was almost immediately proposed as the explanation for why the sun apparently could output as much energy as it does without apparently violating the laws of energy already discovered by previous physicists namely Lord Kelvin who among other discoveries formulated the 2nd law of thermodynamics. *Once that happens we will begin progressing at a much faster rate than our current crazy rate. And the galaxy will open up to us, or digital versions of humans - which amounts to the same thing.* *If we can avoid The Great Filter - or if by some fantastic stroke of luck we've already avoided it - then we most certainly will expand to fill the galaxy.

Aww hell I have just displayed far too much hubris myself, by pointing out that some people are unable to detect their own hubrosity(totally made up that word just now).

@@JayDAnderson Real video? You mean those deliberately unfocused pictures of Venus? Or the blurry radar locks on birds? If there really were aliens around, given the large numbers of videos offered as evidence, then surely at least a few of them would be sharp, clear and detailed. The only such videos that exist are photoshopped.
While warp drive is THEORETICALLY possible, it requires negative matter/energy which doesn’t exist. Sorry folks the absolute cosmic speed limit is still in force making it thousands of years to travel to the nearest planets that might harbor life.
Aliens who sent Oumuamua be like, "You humans better catch our shit when we sling it into your solar system next time if you want in on the galactic federation."
Aliens.... "so they havent even achieve interplanetary civilization yet abd they already dream of war and rebellion in space ? What is wrong with these savages!"
It's unfortunate the presenter doesn't mention that Oumuamua changed in luminosity during it's transit by a large degree. Likely due to rotation and reflection off of its flat side but it does promote some fun speculation. I believe the image he showed of Oumuamua was computer generated and we didn't actually get any close up photos of it. I recommend watching interviews with Avi Loab, Harvard director of something that I can't remember. He's passionate about the topic and provides more detail.
Great talk. I also am a SciFi lover. You also had towards the end of the StarGate the tv series, (which was never mentioned), they had wormholes and borrowed technology, they referred to as FTL ( Faster Than Light) drives. Also most these different space ships throughout science fiction, had force fields that provided protection from not just phaser and proton torpedoes, but provided a more practical protection, which was against those pesky dust particles.
Well. Most probably the C/Lightspeed barrier is a major obstacle ,and most people don't even understand what C describes, and how slow light actually is. Primarily speed is defined from C, not the other way around. To talk about light one must first understand the both photo-electric effect and then the General relativity (including where it contains some problems/contradictions). Photons spends 30 000 earth years to travel along our own galaxy and 8 minutes from the Sun to us. On the large scale that is a real donkey. But in theory one could surpass it ,yet to know how one must know exactly what the problem with GR is, one must be very well studied in plasma physics and charge mechanics, and most don't/aren't. Let me put it this way : The issue is not sorted by having an evening course in anthroposophy or having watched an american TV show, coming to the lab with a high school equation written on a weed rolling paper. But you 'll find a whole lot of "believers" out there being the boy versions of "beliebers". You know ,boy band fans. 😎
what gets me when I was doing more astronomy many thought of astrology, and always asked can you find our horoscope in the stars. I love astronomy as well.
Imagine being on that ship that takes 20K years to another star without cryosleep. So you are born in year 17438 and become just a tiny, temporary part of the whole crew, and your entire life is lived on that ship, just to forward the colony's purpose. Not much unlike our lives here on Earth except we don't know the mission.
@@aoolmay6853 no you wouldn't that's a stupid statement, are you telling me you could guarantee someone born on a intergalactic spaceship knowing he will never breathe Air and look at the Blue sky who has to have children and die in space will be happy with that, I think not

57:06 I wonder if a tidally locked planet where the sun never moves has a lot of flat-earther type beings. No need for complicated self-contradictory models. 😃
you still need to explain horizon, so they would probably think it's a convex shape of some kind, but with the question of what moves around what never really arising, they can happily think they're the centre of the universe forever.
Not if they are intelligent beings. Planetary curvature is self-evident through observable features such as the tops of mountains appearing first as one approaches them. Neither can it be assumed (ref. to 3dent) that the question of what moves around what would not arise. The planet may not rotate but it still orbits it's sun, causing visible effects. It may tilt, causing seasonal effects. It's orbit may be an oval shape, not round, causing further seasonal effects. The planet might also have a moon or moons either orbiting it or in a captured position relative to the planet, perhaps in the LaGrange points. There might be other planets in the system, perhaps gas giants with visible large moons.
@@lordshinumbra6441 The lifeforms native to such a planet would be adapted to it's surface or subsurface conditions, just as life is on Earth. Conditions of heat, cold, atmosphere, gravity, ect. which might be instantly fatal to a Terrestrial life-form would be entirely normal and comfortable to such lifeforms.
The presenter made an error when he pronounced Dr. Miguel Alcubierre's surname; he mispronounced it as Alcubee-err which would be correct if the surname came from France. I have researched the origins of Alcubierre, and it's of Spanish origin, and in Spanish (I have learned to speak Spanish), the last vowel is always pronounced, thus Alcubierre is correctly pronounced Alcubee-err-eh. There was also an omission in the presentation on the Alcubierre (pronounced Alcubee-err-eh) Drive; Dr. Alcubierre used Einstein's General Relativity (this is the theory that models gravity as a warping of space-time around an object with mass, and deals with accelerating frames of reference) partial differential mathematical model, to find a solution for the 1D (1 dimensional) case, to demonstrate that it's theoretically possible to generate a localized space-time warp field, to allow a star ship to travel without moving because it's the localized space-time warp field that can move faster than the speed of light, carrying the star ship within this field. The idea for a localized space-time warp field that can travel faster than the speed of light, came from the Hyperinflationary model of the expansion of the Universe, worked out by theoretical physicists such as Dr Alan Guth. In this model, after the Big Bang the Universe's 'fabric' or framework of space-time expanded much faster than the speed of light. This was devised to explain why the Universe looks like the way it does as we currently see it. The basic idea is the faster than light expansion of space-time, allowed Quantum Mechanical fluctuations in the density of the energy-matter plasma mix to be 'locked in', and the initially 'grainy' texture of the varying density from vacuum to the energy-matter plasma mix expanded resulting in the current Universe, in which the energy-matter mix is not uniformly distributed throughout the Universe, but the energy-matter mix is localized into regions with vast voids in-between these localized regions. One good way to visualize this, is the 'soap bubble' Universe model, where the surface of the bubbles are the localized regions where the energy-matter mix is traced out as galaxies, and the space inside these bubbles are the vast dark voids, in which Astronomers have found no signs of any energy (i.e. no gamma rays, X-rays, Ultraviolet light, visible light, infra red light, radio waves) or matter at all.
....just got to the warp drive bit and was shocked that not even a basic prototype has been built.... I regret being an Aussie interested in this field of science considering the last ten years has been a witch burning trial for anyone who speaks it. Kudos to you mate for putting your head up on this one.
I'm tempted to write what I know, but it would be a waste.... Science in this country is treated like an Amway salesman. Started designing a concept years ago, but as I said.... Witch burning very popular here still.
@@HallonyancatThe witch burners were not burning someone with ideas of development. The witch burners were clergies who wanted to demonstrate power. They picked "anyone" to burn with various excuses. In Norway in the 1600s they executed as much as 1/5 of the population in some of the farm villages of 200 people. This was to both anchor the might of christianity and to get rid of all paganism. Of course much of the 1600s paganism was just as dumb as monotheism but less authoritarian
I'm an author on the LIGO project. The explosion did not shake the universe afterward. The vibration is what's recorded just before the two neutron stars or black holes joined. This is the result of the two bodies rotating around each other as they get closer and closer. Right afterward, there is no vibration and no gravitational waves are produced from an explosion.
@@socialmeaslesinpartnership1252 Yes, I was there at the beginning of the LIGO project. I designed the 7 pick-off telescopes and the end mass telescope of the system.
I designed the optics housing for analysis of the return beam from the ultra-flat mirror at the end of the right angled vacuum tubes. I also designed the device that calibrated the flatness of the return mirrors, a process that took over a week to analyze.
I interchanged concepts and engineering data with several physicists at Caltech.

Sir, Do you mean when neutron stars collide or black holes collide , they do not generate gravitational waves ??
No, he means that they do not explode. And the gravitational waves are generated before they merge to gether. When they do merge they do not generete then in the same amplitude. Grav waves are produced by the interaction of 2 blacj holes. Not the actual merger. Make sense?@@ilimitless

Bye.
This was recorded on my 50th birthday so thank you! One thing I'd like to point out about UFO's that Mr. Gaensler wholly neglects to consider is that while yes, we do have cell phones with somewhat decent cameras, they are mainly designed for close up shots and not distance. It is also very difficult, if not impossible, to focus them on small objects that are far away, and especially anything in bad lighting or at night. For example, watch a plane fly by up in the sky and try and get a good picture of it. It is difficult if not impossible even under good conditions.
Secondly, most of the recent incidents of the last two decades that have been tracked by the military and also seen by commercial pilots are often over the ocean and or at very high altitudes. Lastly, we cannot just dismiss what is actual recorded evidence by the military and pilots including radar records of objects moving in and then back out of our atmosphere at extreme speeds that we humans are not nearly capable of. There is in fact a lot of evidence that cannot be easily shrugged off.
While some events can of course be explained by professional skeptics such as Mick West, there are still many more events which cannot be simply dismissed as "anomalies". And to be clear, it's very disturbing that people like this, people who are apparently smart and dedicated to their profession, would so quickly and wantonly dismiss such incidents simply because it's not really within their area of study (when in fact it kinda, sorta actually is lol).
My point is that these may just be the droids we are looking for. And just because we haven't figured everything out yet, it doesn't mean other potentially advanced civilizations who could have a million-year jump or more of evolution over us...already have figured things out. Just like how we are exploring Mars with what is essentially a drone, so could an advanced civilization explore us with super-advanced drones, possibly ones that are completely autonomous free-thinking AI that have developed over tens of thousands of years.
Think about what we have accomplished just in the last 50 years with technology and now add 1,000 or 100,000 years to that and think where we could be. Therefore we simply cannot rule out the possibility, however extreme and unimaginable, that in various places of our galaxy we may have neighbors who are doing or have already done the same and much greater. It is estimated that there are 100 Billion or more Red Dwarf stars in our Galaxy. There's quite a lot of potential out there. So I say.. let’s keep the faith!
Bravo
Well said. I'm sure you're well aware of the multitude of reasons why people like this can't just come out and say that UFO's are everything we imagine them to be and then some.
Just because you "see" something on RADAR does not mean that it's a solid object. RADARs can be spoofed and this is a common military tactic. It wouldn't surprise me if many of the "UFOs" were actually Russian aircraft playing wargames during the cold war.
@@kimchristensen2175 So visual contact means nothing to you?
@@kimchristensen2175 you really need to look at modern military radar and sonor technology as opposed to anything 60+ years ago. There is substantial evidence, only a small fraction of which was released about the 2004 F-18 incidents and others since then, but if you also take the time to listen to their accounts and the others since then you get a much bigger picture of the much larger powderkeg of data the US military is sitting on. And no, it’s definitely not the Russians or Chinese. No country on the planet has multiple craft that can come in from space, down to sea level in mere seconds, and then back up and out again. Nope.

So true. I feel the same way when I hear people say, “... is impossible because it violates the laws of physics”. The “laws” of physics. Aren’t most of those so called “laws” just theories? Even, arguably, the most important one isn’t even a “law”, “the theory of relativity”. The “Laws” of Physics are simply the theories of physics as we understand it “now”. If “we” are unwilling to think, design and function outside of the “laws of physics”, we will continue to stagnate instead of innovating and constantly making giant leaps in technology, advancing our civilization & species, in harmony with our galactic neighbors.

He left one faster-than-light scheme out: traversable wormholes. It was strange that he didn't mention them, because he mentioned both Kip Thorne and the movie Contact, and not only were wormholes the method of FTL travel used in that film, but Thorne suggested it to Carl Sagan when Sagan wrote the book. Also, the "hyperspace" drive used in Star Wars is closer to the wormhole idea than it is to warp drive.
Heh. That ought to get all of five views, @Drugresearcher Kappalapa.
In order to travel through a worm hole, you need some kind of force field powerful enough to deflect the gravitational field that created the worm hole.

Just because we have a theorem or law that accurately describes a phenomenon, doesn't necessarily mean it is a correct representation. They are merely best fits, and if they are wrong even slightly, it can lead us down paths that may seem logical, but still wrong.
Ex: Newton's laws describe accurately the motion of bodies in space to a point, but it took a complete shift in perception to get Einstein's relativity and special relativity.
Never stopped them before. The math for the Manhattan project relayed an answer that the reflux from the implosion would be infinite. But that never stopped them. Same with CERN, its an agreed theory that there's a tiny bit more matter than anti matter, and if there was even the same amount of antimatter as matter the whole universe would implode inwards on it's self. Yet... Here we are making antimatter.

exactly why I paused it and came to the comments
I Was going to comment the same thing but using a less polite way of expressing it. It really does not improve much.
Science has everything to do with science fiction. It fuels the imagination and speculates not only on the what-ifs of the future, but the what-ifs of the past. I have met scientists that were very unfamiliar with any important sci-fi literature or authors and was shocked by that. Sci-fi usually serves as a magnet for young scientists. If I were king of my own kingdom and were to appoint a Minister of Science and Technology .. I would want this person to be an enthusiastic science fiction fan.

@Phil Silverman The tech to get a human to alpha-centauri is soo very extreme, it is likely we will find other ways to achieve our goals (or find other more valuable ones) by the time civilization gets that advanced. While its a worthy attempt and will undoubtedly have important spinoff technologies (like Alchemy to Chemistry), the attempt to get a soft bodied creature like ourselves to the EXTREMELY violent high velocities needed for interstellar travel is even more crazy than the Alchemist desire to create gold from lead. You being hit by a grain of sand at those velocities is equivalent to a Hiroshima type nuclear bomb. In the 20th century, we "could" devote a quadrillion dollars to build particle accelerators to transmute a few grams of lead into gold, but it would be a huge waste of resources when we can do so much more interesting things with that technology that Alchemists never dreamed of. Along the same line, my feeling is by the time we have technologies which could make interstellar travel possible for humans, wasting our resources to create actually realize that would be silly. Long before we can rocket to the stars, we would have very advanced telescopes that will be able to allow us to virtually examine those worlds as if we were there, and possibly quantum supercomputers that can run simulations of an encounter with known aliens to 99.9999% accuracy, making the real thing quaint and unnecessary, and possibly also less valuable, intrusive, and dangerous. If our future culture desires or needs some form of intrusive agency on the universe (which is doubtful if any kind of prime directive is developed), we may be able to send out more "disruptive" probes or even our consciousness out into the universe through some complex electromagnetic soliton propagation that would be much more effective than sending our soft bodies. Who really knows, but whatever is the case, it is unlikely to be Star Trek or Star Wars, even if fantasies along those lines will allow us to the develop the more interesting and important stuff.

I have to say this video was a bit of a let down. The title is "Warp Drive and Aliens" and all he really says about warp drives is "pfft. they'll probably never work".
Maybe because they won't? Reality is what it is and translation (either travel or communication) FTL is simply impossible, period. And if the physics didn't say that, the Fermi Objection would be strong evidence for it anyway. Because if it were possible, others long ago would have invented it, and they would already be not only here but everywhere.

If the neutron stars colliding was "felt" through the entire universe - was that "shock wave" across the space time fabric at the speed of light such that it coincided with the visual observation of the neutron stars as they collided? Was the shock wave a gravitation force spike/notch tugging on the space/time fabric? Is this why you suggested a black hole was created momentarily? Why would gravity 'waves" propagate at the speed of light? Is there a connection therefore? Is the universe infinite in distance yet expanding at the same time? If so is a gravitation tug responsible for this accelerating expansion in all directions? Why is there no observable light based phenomena for this expansion force? Does phenomena in the universe share any similarities as we approach "infinitely" small and infinitely large phenomena? If so is there any commonality between black holes and this accelerating expansion force? Thanks.
Great questions and ones that I personally think have something to do with the foundations of reality. The waves from the colliding neutron stars must have been felt instantly through quantum entanglement, so there was no time delay and they were not travelling as such as light does. Just like if I held one end of a taught rope in Europe, and you held the other end in America, if I tugged the rope you would feel it instantly. Quantum entanglement I believe will unlock much more understanding into the reality of nature
Answer 1- It's a gravity wave, it moves a little slower than light, so you would actually pick it up first on the telescope, and later on the laser detectors that detect gravity waves. Quantum Entanglement has nothing to do with this Raz, we don't have any way to detect Quantum entanglement. John Bell made a great experiment, that is still not proof of it, though. Answer 2-The connection is all physical matter can only travel at the speed of light. To travel faster, one must warp space, like the Alcubierre equation, which is theoretical. Answer 3- The Universe is not infinite, it's expanding. According to Buddha, this is actually the 84th Big Bang. Answer 4- Dark Energy is responsible for the acceleration of physical matter beyond gravity. This is why we have Stars moving faster on the outer rims of galaxies. The Universe is expanding and accelerating the expansion, it's Newton's law of thermodynamics and Dark Energy. Answer 5- The light hasn't reached us yet. Answer 6-Black Holes are points of incredible mass, they don't speed up expansion, they are also too small to slow it down. It is Dark Energy that is responsible for the acceleration of expansion.
@@carloscastanheiro2933 the thing is, gravity doesn't travel. It is an effect on space time that we observe. If the universe is accelerating apart faster than the speed of light, this shows that it is not in effect travelling. Time is only subjective to us, in our frame of reference. So objects appear to be moving in time. But the true reality is everything is happening at once. This is what I'm referring to when I mention quantum entanglement, which is probably the wrong phrase for such a thing. My head starts to hurt thinking about such things, but they are fascinating none the less
@@carloscastanheiro2933 Thanks!
@@Razmatazuk Thanks! Another somewhat related question. What is the relation between trigonometry applied to 2D and 3D spaces and energy that tavels in waves that have angular velocity that is also described by trignometry? It seems that the metric space and the energy that travels within are part of the same phenomena or can be described the same way. If space and travel of energy are related does this somehow explain time and the space time fabric? Sorry for the amateur questions. I'm glad there is someone here that can answer these things in layman terms. Thanks in advance.

I think the presenter omitted that at our current level of technology, there is no practical warp drive that can be realized as an Engineered propulsion system, within the foreseeable future.
He did redeem himself by admitting that "... where there's a will, there's a way."
I'm an Electrical and Electronics Engineer, and I do subscribe to the view that a real Warp Drive will be one day Engineered.
Engineering depends heavily on theoretical Physicists conferring with Mathematicians to devise theories, to model the observed Physical properties of the Universe and make predictions testable by experiment and observation. Before the first successful transistor was invented in 1947, required the development of the mathematical theory of Quantum Mechanics by 1927 - 28, which in turn depended on the development of James Clerk Maxwell's unified theory of electromagnetism developed in 1861. In addition, experimental physicists needed to conduct the experiments required, guided by the theoretical physics' models, for making discoveries in semiconductor materials that ultimately led to the supporting technological developments, together with the experimental physics and engineering team with the optimal inspired imaginations, that brought into reality the first practical transistor.
Before the first practical warp drive is Engineered, the correct Physics' theoretical framework needs to be developed, and the correct supporting technologies need to be invented, together with the right mix of Physicists and Engineers having the optimal inspired imaginations.

He skipped Orion or Daedalus nuclear propulsion, each of which could get you (or a large probe) to Alpha Centauri in about 20 yrs.
One of the problems with nuclear pulse propulsion is that to slow down you would have to shoot nukes into your face.
He did mention one method of getting there in 70 years. That's close enough, for all intents and purposes.
@@sanctus864 What? You'd simply flip the ship around 180 and fire the engine to slow down. There'd be no more "blow back" than you had when you were accelerating. Shielding would be a bitch though.
@@kimchristensen2175 Nuclear pulse propulsion (Orion drive) means shooting nukes and riding the blast wave to speed up and slow down. You would need some serious shielding to survive for potentially hundred of nuclear blasts speeding up and slowing down.
Slowing down is more problematic because you are flying into the blast rather than riding it to accelerate. It would slow you down, but without heavy and expensive shielding it's rather unsafe.
In addition if one of the nukes fails to detonate properly, or just the conventional explosives inside detonate then you run the risk of shrapnel destroying the shielding or the ship. Maybe you can fire hundreds of nukes without a single one failing but since the only way to test a nuke is to blow it up it's a gamble every time.
There are safer ways of using fusion to propel a ship but we would need net positive fusion reactors.
@@sanctus864 "Slowing down is more problematic because you are flying into the blast rather than riding it to accelerate"

I'll give you a hint. The quantum entanglement between two photons is actually a graviton. A graviton can be used to store gravitational potential energy. The shape of the graviton can be controlled by controlling the position of the entangled photons. Gravitational propulsion comes from this technology.
I don't know if this is correct, but it is a welcome contribution to my thinking. Thank you.
Gravity is a wave, you will never going to find graviton. Saying entanglement is a graviton, nothing short of misinformation. Think about Strong Nuclear Force or we can call it quantum gravity.

@@JayDAnderson You conflate Laws of Physics and Theoretical Physics, 2 different things. The first one has some elements empirically tested the second one - based on relativity, a mathematical transformation from planar coordinates into spherical ones - is an interpretation of a system of coordinates that was built with it, but doesn't really exist. What you can predict really is planar coordinates through convoluted spherical calculations. All the extrapolation in math made from there is at best a waste of time.

He also talks about time dilation being a consequence of 'Special Relativity', while that does deal with time dilation, in this context it would be General Theory of Relativity.

After seeing a ufo 10 years ago, I feel annoyed that your answer to the question "yes, no, maybe?" was just a flat out 'no' it says a lot. My own experience was like a movie but it lasted 3 seconds. The 'flying saucer' I saw was being chased or followed by two fighter jets barely keeping up. It was a clear sky, bright blue mid day. But as everyone knows it's not an everyday occurrence to see what I saw. SO no I didn't have time to take any picture even though at the time I had an iPhone and could have if I was't in shock. It just happened all too quickly for me to react fast enough.
A movie like this can be thought of as conjecture, or a hypothesis geared toward our needs.
In some sense, as Feynman had said, the scientific process can involve taking guess and working from there.
So, art can be a type of initial scientific process, I suppose
Well let me put it instead like this : Once you have innovated a functional system for a use in society, that is a kind of (figurative) art.
Before that you must be creative enough. But you must be able to translate that into something physical that actually relates to real nature.
If not ,it will never be an innovation.
On the side of that, you will have those esoterics who never actually developed anything but still want to tell the world how the functional and applied tech of others allegedly works. :)

The light sails do NOT use the solar wind, the work purely on the reflected photons. The LightSail 2 was never far enough away from the Earth to experience the solar wind; it's deflected by the magnetosphere of the Earth. It used purely the light from the sun, reflecting the photons.
Additionally LightSail was not the first; the Ikonos satellite from JAXA used it to fly around Venus many years ago!
Wow! Thank you so much for the update of where we are and where we're going. We need to learn how to travel by wormhole. By the way, aliens are real and are here.
Lol
Ok Roger
I agree!
Hell yeah. Like small thing to forget to mention! Lol they think they are talking circles around us.? But like i. N u know more without a giant ( phallic) brobing lol 😂the skies. Dicks! Im nummb seen 1 seen em all😇😎😋
Im still looking for intelligent life on earth
I can't believe I made myself watch this whole thing! I learned exactly SQUAT !!!
Thank you for the video, was a great job.
Spoiler alert: some of us have already made first, second, and third contact.
Society's contact will happen after we give up war.
Let's make contact and connect.
You are delusional. That means every country will have to convert to a democracy for world peace. We will have to win a war with China, North Korea, Iran and russia etc. Just to name a few and liberate them. Any type of war with these countries will result in a biological or nuclear exchange.
@@kaitzu4560 Nonsense. A.I. will soon control every nation. Politicians will become relics.

Really enjoyed this lecture, the question that I would have liked to ask is - do you think that AI would be able to solve many of the problems associated with warp drive development, and also detecting planets that could sustain life, and of course detecting aliens.
It was one of best treats I have had in my life todate
Yes, robots comunícate with each other for 3 yrs now. They follow INCREDIBLE programa and evolve at quantica speeds. We just need to feed them programa and data.
We detect aliens all the time. We don't need AI for that. There was just video of the United States navy encountering a UAP recently
@@marinaclarasanchezsuarez2905 The AI database builds on information from humans to begin with, which means that it is best at doing "ground work" and effectivizing communication.
That could be the dangerous or tiresome or expensive we would do less of.
There are some dangers with AI as well which the romantics seem to be too simplistic to fathom.
Not to exaggerate it of course.
This is always a problem with idealists
Oumuamua 1 and Oumuamua 2, they both were using solar sails and increased their speed thanks to the Slingshot using Sun's gravity.
This comments section is either hilarious or terrifying...cant decide which
It's both, really. Many of them are hilarious to read, but terrifying when you realize the person that put the comment actually believes what they typed.
Both!
My friend, I understand how you feel, however, consider the possibility that the scientific community has abandoned the ET/UFO topic due to an extreme bias. Pre-judgement will not lead you to objectivity by its very nature, and we humans are known for our evolved cognitive dissonance (even scientists). Do some homework without anticipating a particular result (as most scientists do) and you may discover that the Fermi-Paradox is no paradox. A good place for you to start if you decide to consider this possibility: www.explorescu.org/aapc-info
@@BenLesel oh Riiight Google something some biased person with an unknown agenda wrote so that only other people with clone minds will accept and publish! hmmm well that seems really objective and makes perfect sense to trust just anybody huh? But if you go back and re-read your statement it contradicts itself! and btw a person with a subjective mindset cannot see things objectively! 😹

41:53 - Negatory, kemosabe! The Alcubierre Drive is fairly simple to assemble once you can create negative mass. It's the negative mass thing which is the problem, though. :P
If there's one thing we can be absolutely sure of, it's that the solution to getting between the stars rapidly cannot possibly be imagined by human beings today. Just as the best scientists in 1900 could never have predicted fission or fusion energy, lasers, supercomputers, smartphones, the web, or stealth fighters... neither can we today predict what will happen in the future.
Gaensler speaks about human advancement as if it will progress at a very slow rate. This is extremely common. The truth is that human knowledge and ability is accelerating at an accelerating rate.
The other great truth is that we will never combine the Standard Model and Quantum mechanics because our current ideas about the nature of the universe are dead wrong. Our ignorance is astounding, and we are so sure it's right. That hubris is currently preventing progress - but things will become untenable soon, and we will see a major change in our fundamental understanding of the true nature of the universe.
Once that happens we will begin progressing at a much faster rate than our current crazy rate. And the galaxy will open up to us, or digital versions of humans - which amounts to the same thing.
If we can avoid The Great Filter - or if by some fantastic stroke of luck we've already avoided it - then we most certainly will expand to fill the galaxy. The only questions are are: once we start, will it take us 10 million years, or 100,000 years?
And, "Will we survive long enough to try?"
*If there's one thing we can be absolutely sure of, it's that the solution to getting between the stars rapidly cannot possibly be imagined by human beings today.*
Are you not a human being?
If yes, then OK K-Pax.
Because honestly you appear to me at least as far as I define the word "imagining", to actually be "imagining" what human beings today, tomorrow, and a thousand years from now will be capable of technologically.
Or are you simply unselfaware?
*Just as the best scientists in 1900 could never have predicted fission or fusion energy, lasers, supercomputers, smartphones, the web, or stealth fighters... neither can we today predict what will happen in the future.*
Uh sure, but it is not as if there were no indications even in the heyday of the early 1900s that human beings understanding of the nature of the universe might be faulty right?
Hell there is that moment in science circa 1862 where some famous scientist then and today specifically one Lord Kelvin thought that the sun derives its energy from some form of meteoric impacts and therefore could only be on the order of some 30 million years old. As even then physicists knew that a chemical explanation for the sun's energy output fell far short of the mark and the age of the sun itself. Funny thing is Lord Kelvin even by being mostly wrong, was at least somewhat correct as the sun's energy output is indeed driven in part by its own mass and the gravity well created by that mass at least that is the current understanding of how the sun can output the energy it does without violating already established laws of thermodynamics.
Hell in 1896, when Henri Becquerel discovered radioactivity it was almost immediately proposed as the explanation for why the sun apparently could output as much energy as it does without apparently violating the laws of energy already discovered by previous physicists namely Lord Kelvin who among other discoveries formulated the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
*Once that happens we will begin progressing at a much faster rate than our current crazy rate. And the galaxy will open up to us, or digital versions of humans - which amounts to the same thing.*
*If we can avoid The Great Filter - or if by some fantastic stroke of luck we've already avoided it - then we most certainly will expand to fill the galaxy. The only questions are are: once we start, will it take us 10 million years, or 100,000 years?*
*And, "Will we survive long enough to try?"*
K-Pax is that you?
*That hubris is currently preventing progress - but things will become untenable soon, and we will see a major change in our fundamental understanding of the true nature of the universe.*
Funny how hubris is never obvious to those accusing other people whether by grouping or individually of being too hubristic, isn't it?
Aww hell I have just displayed far too much hubris myself, by pointing out that some people are unable to detect their own hubrosity(totally made up that word just now).
"Fairly simple". Hmmm so you could build one in your garage, then?
Bryan.... why the fixation with the cigar shaped rock that some folks thought might be ET? We have real video of fhem operating in Earth atmosphere outside the bounds of physics as we know it. You are not forward thinking Bryan... you are not accounting for what we know as of Feb 5th when you presented this!!! Hey.... we got fire too.... you can rub two sticks together if you want. I will use a Bic Lighter. Thanks.
@@JayDAnderson Real video? You mean those deliberately unfocused pictures of Venus? Or the blurry radar locks on birds?
If there really were aliens around, given the large numbers of videos offered as evidence, then surely at least a few of them would be sharp, clear and detailed. The only such videos that exist are photoshopped.
While warp drive is THEORETICALLY possible, it requires negative matter/energy which doesn’t exist. Sorry folks the absolute cosmic speed limit is still in force making it thousands of years to travel to the nearest planets that might harbor life.
So let us rather be honest about it ; it isn't even theoretically possible.
He says oumuamua is cigar shaped but we dont know that. It also has the same profile as a rotating disk.
I love ❤️ and live astronomy 🪐 each evening it’s totally worth asking what’s happening in our universe !!!!
Aliens who sent Oumuamua be like, "You humans better catch our shit when we sling it into your solar system next time if you want in on the galactic federation."
Aliens.... "so they havent even achieve interplanetary civilization yet abd they already dream of war and rebellion in space ? What is wrong with these savages!"
It's unfortunate the presenter doesn't mention that Oumuamua changed in luminosity during it's transit by a large degree. Likely due to rotation and reflection off of its flat side but it does promote some fun speculation. I believe the image he showed of Oumuamua was computer generated and we didn't actually get any close up photos of it. I recommend watching interviews with Avi Loab, Harvard director of something that I can't remember. He's passionate about the topic and provides more detail.
Have you read his critics? Loeb. Do that first please.

WARP DRIVE and ALIENS front page in a REAL WAY 😂
Great talk. I also am a SciFi lover. You also had towards the end of the StarGate the tv series, (which was never mentioned), they had wormholes and borrowed technology, they referred to as FTL ( Faster Than Light) drives. Also most these different space ships throughout science fiction, had force fields that provided protection from not just phaser and proton torpedoes, but provided a more practical protection, which was against those pesky dust particles.
Well. Most probably the C/Lightspeed barrier is a major obstacle ,and most people don't even understand what C describes, and how slow light actually is.
Primarily speed is defined from C, not the other way around.
To talk about light one must first understand the both photo-electric effect and then the General relativity (including where it contains some problems/contradictions).
Photons spends 30 000 earth years to travel along our own galaxy and 8 minutes from the Sun to us.
On the large scale that is a real donkey.
But in theory one could surpass it ,yet to know how one must know exactly what the problem with GR is, one must be very well studied in plasma physics and charge mechanics, and most don't/aren't.
Let me put it this way : The issue is not sorted by having an evening course in anthroposophy or having watched an american TV show, coming to the lab with a high school equation written on a weed rolling paper.
But you 'll find a whole lot of "believers" out there being the boy versions of "beliebers". You know ,boy band fans.

what gets me when I was doing more astronomy many thought of astrology, and always asked can you find our horoscope in the stars. I love astronomy as well.
It's a good thing he gave an introduction so you know you don't want to watch it.
"They" are in our Oceans and Caves!!
Mountains and bottom floor of Dever airport but we're not supposed to know that.
@@groundcrew8014 The bottom floor is for human use.
Imagine being on that ship that takes 20K years to another star without cryosleep. So you are born in year 17438 and become just a tiny, temporary part of the whole crew, and your entire life is lived on that ship, just to forward the colony's purpose. Not much unlike our lives here on Earth except we don't know the mission.
Interesting and that’s true how humans forget their mission.
There mission is to be kind to your fellow man
I would be fxxking pissed of if that was my life, and would probably blow the ship up
@@aoolmay6853 no you wouldn't that's a stupid statement, are you telling me you could guarantee someone born on a intergalactic spaceship knowing he will never breathe Air and look at the Blue sky who has to have children and die in space will be happy with that, I think not
@@aoolmay6853 O I see you think we're anamals and think we can predict all the thoughts of future generations by genetic manipulation. In other words we would be nothing more than robot's, not able to dream about freedom. So we would be to stupid to think about blowing the ship up. If that's the case I will stay on the rock and let robots like you go into space and you're welcome to it Mr Robot. 🤖. Your safe in space nobody wants you on the rock
Very educational presentation for some people. Thank you 😎👍
Wish Feynman was still here to do a lecture like this. He was the best there was. His biography is a must read!
Agreed - But Professor Gaensler and Neil are doing a great job. And who can forget Carl. We can never forget Richard - but the wheel turns.
Feynman slaughtered hyper-equational esoterica in his own gentle ways. Just read his books
Somebody left this group out the loop
57:06 I wonder if a tidally locked planet where the sun never moves has a lot of flat-earther type beings. No need for complicated self-contradictory models. 😃
you still need to explain horizon, so they would probably think it's a convex shape of some kind, but with the question of what moves around what never really arising, they can happily think they're the centre of the universe forever.
Also they would be dead due to the direct light scorching thr planets surface with no breaks. So no flat earthers exist on such a world mahahahaha
Not if they are intelligent beings. Planetary curvature is self-evident through observable features such as the tops of mountains appearing first as one approaches them.
Neither can it be assumed (ref. to 3dent) that the question of what moves around what would not arise. The planet may not rotate but it still orbits it's sun, causing visible effects. It may tilt, causing seasonal effects. It's orbit may be an oval shape, not round, causing further seasonal effects.
The planet might also have a moon or moons either orbiting it or in a captured position relative to the planet, perhaps in the LaGrange points. There might be other planets in the system, perhaps gas giants with visible large moons.
@@lordshinumbra6441 The lifeforms native to such a planet would be adapted to it's surface or subsurface conditions, just as life is on Earth. Conditions of heat, cold, atmosphere, gravity, ect. which might be instantly fatal to a Terrestrial life-form would be entirely normal and comfortable to such lifeforms.
Let’s move all the flat earthers there.
The wait for him to actually start talking about warp drive warped my mind.
ha ha ha
The presenter made an error when he pronounced Dr. Miguel Alcubierre's surname; he mispronounced it as Alcubee-err which would be correct if the surname came from France. I have researched the origins of Alcubierre, and it's of Spanish origin, and in Spanish (I have learned to speak Spanish), the last vowel is always pronounced, thus Alcubierre is correctly pronounced Alcubee-err-eh.
There was also an omission in the presentation on the Alcubierre (pronounced Alcubee-err-eh) Drive; Dr. Alcubierre used Einstein's General Relativity (this is the theory that models gravity as a warping of space-time around an object with mass, and deals with accelerating frames of reference) partial differential mathematical model, to find a solution for the 1D (1 dimensional) case, to demonstrate that it's theoretically possible to generate a localized space-time warp field, to allow a star ship to travel without moving because it's the localized space-time warp field that can move faster than the speed of light, carrying the star ship within this field.
The idea for a localized space-time warp field that can travel faster than the speed of light, came from the Hyperinflationary model of the expansion of the Universe, worked out by theoretical physicists such as Dr Alan Guth. In this model, after the Big Bang the Universe's 'fabric' or framework of space-time expanded much faster than the speed of light. This was devised to explain why the Universe looks like the way it does as we currently see it. The basic idea is the faster than light expansion of space-time, allowed Quantum Mechanical fluctuations in the density of the energy-matter plasma mix to be 'locked in', and the initially 'grainy' texture of the varying density from vacuum to the energy-matter plasma mix expanded resulting in the current Universe, in which the energy-matter mix is not uniformly distributed throughout the Universe, but the energy-matter mix is localized into regions with vast voids in-between these localized regions. One good way to visualize this, is the 'soap bubble' Universe model, where the surface of the bubbles are the localized regions where the energy-matter mix is traced out as galaxies, and the space inside these bubbles are the vast dark voids, in which Astronomers have found no signs of any energy (i.e. no gamma rays, X-rays, Ultraviolet light, visible light, infra red light, radio waves) or matter at all.
ya a wee bit too self absorbed, as if everyone is there to hear his bio...
....just got to the warp drive bit and was shocked that not even a basic prototype has been built.... I regret being an Aussie interested in this field of science considering the last ten years has been a witch burning trial for anyone who speaks it.
Kudos to you mate for putting your head up on this one.
I'm tempted to write what I know, but it would be a waste.... Science in this country is treated like an Amway salesman. Started designing a concept years ago, but as I said.... Witch burning very popular here still.
@@HallonyancatThe witch burners were not burning someone with ideas of development.
The witch burners were clergies who wanted to demonstrate power.
They picked "anyone" to burn with various excuses.
In Norway in the 1600s they executed as much as 1/5 of the population in some of the farm villages of 200 people.
This was to both anchor the might of christianity and to get rid of all paganism.
Of course much of the 1600s paganism was just as dumb as monotheism but less authoritarian
