  • In his live public lecture at Perimeter Institute on February 5, 2020, astronomer Bryan Gaensler (Dunlap Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics, University of Toronto) explored the latest thinking on interstellar travel and on the search for alien life - including why he believes the frontiers of current research may be more exciting and visionary than any fictional stories we can imagine.

    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!

      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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

      @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.

    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.

    The craft is pointed perpendicular to the magnetic field of whatever star they're launching from. Depending on the mass of the star they want to decelerate at (stellar braking), the craft will launch from a certain percentage BELOW the chromosphere of the 'launch star' which allows them to come to a stop near the center of the 'brake star' at the destination. Journeys originating from very high-mass stars to very low-mass stars are possible but not typically used routes because if you're propelling from the corona of the launch star as opposed to the interior, they have to give something up....speed.

    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.

    • @Razmatazuk
      @Razmatazuk 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@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

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.

    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.

      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. :)
