  • this only tells the fastest motion. the velocity when earth moving on axis during the day which is the slowest when adding up the speed in orbital year did not tell :3 simple enough : speed of orbit - speed of axis [3-2=velocity we travel during the day]. but the earth is tilted 23. so the velocity 2+3 cannot achieve 70402.3 to be exact. but earth orbit is in egg shape. the closer the earth to the sun more faster. calculation to be exact is always plus minus and very complicated to explain. =D

  • Do we ever get back to our space? and perhaps time?

  • Ignores vectors but fairly accurate!

  • Brilliant! I didn't check on accuracy of your calculations but looked at some comments already posted. I like gps suggestion by arzuu82 but I think we need ups (u stands for universal ps).

  • 2:14 how can we prove that the sun moves in a linear path and the earth in a helical one?

  • So, really the best way to do interstellar travel is just to stand still in space and find the approaching star as your destination point. Anyway, you will be traveling millions of miles per hour. You wont even need propulsion but you will just use the galactic constant speed to travel. With that, you wont need a navigator. You need an astronomer to look for that approaching star and just wait in a point in space.

  • This is a bunch of BS. If it's so hard how come Sulu can do it in a second?

  • I am confused and nauseous  XD

  • 2 million miles per hour (3.2 million km/h)....thats friggin fast. Speed of light is 1.1 billion km/h.

    So instead of inventing propulsion systems...how about pre-pulsion systems. In other words, inertia draining systems...slow an object down until the universe passes YOU by at

    3.2 million km/h ? Thoughts?

  • go watch star wars plzz...then u know what to build for the future

  • Fascinating video!

  • gps?

  • No,no,no,,,,,,,,,

    We are the absolute reference point.

    We are sitting absolutely and perfectly still.

    The Sun, Solar system and Universe is spinning like a mad thing around us.

  • What you did'nt take into account, is that by then we have super high tech tomtom's.

  • i am a really really GOOOOD nav-eh-geh-tuh

  • For some reason... the fact that we are spinning at around 1,050 Mph and don't even feel it scares the shit outta me.

  • If everything in the galaxy is moving how can there be fixed points? Doesn't make sense.

  • Interstellar travel will give a new literal meaning to the term "time flies" haha :P

  • This is why you don't have a human making these calculations, but a navigational computer than can compensate for all these drifts.

  • @jshowa2 "...class knows that speeds have a vector and must be taken ... " and anyone whos taken a high school physics class knows that speed isn't a vector :P

  • Interesting max, they already do travel inter-dimensionally, the sun is the main inter dimensional gateway into this solar system, but they also black holes which are portals..Navigation is important, but if you have the co-ordinates or frequency of a destination, shouldnt be too much trouble.. ;-)

    and there is no time or space so all is irrelevant really anyway..

  • I never thought of this.Even if you didn't include the vectors that the experts tell you about it still is mind boggling to think that we're constantly in a pin ball machine.

  • This is so interesting...this calculation is that all of us are moving at a sum of 1.9 million mi/hr through space (in 7 different directions). The interesting thing about this number to me (that no one ever seems to mention) is that: The time we experience passing is greatly slowed compare to if you were not moving at all through the universe. And it begs the question: What are the Minimum and Maximum increments of the speed at which time appears to flow at?

  • The author of the video forgot to break his physics problem down into two different problems.

    You just need to know the vector velocity of the sun(and that's a real problem btw).

    Finding earth is easy after that. Have a nice flight. :)

  • Believe or not;each second that past us by,we're not at the same place any more.

  • Well considering NASA sent astronauts to the moon with computers with less powerful than a cell phone.....I think we will have a good chance of finding our way back..I think when we do go,we should do it like Columbus did 3 ships..The Nina,The Pinta,The Santa Maria.This way our chance of success is not dependent on one ship.I think this would be fitting...History repeating...

  • well idk if those calculations are right, but they are undoubtely interesting. BtW!!! you missed special relativity! haha, so You have to modify the "time" variable because as you move faster, the time would go faster in the universe ._. and for example a trip to the andromeda galaxy might take 20 years but it would had passed 5 million years in terms of "earth time"(and thus, modification to that dot of space you would like to go).

  • Exactly why Buckminster Fuller dubbed it "Spaceship Earth"!

  • @KUzZ911

    feel so sad about your parents and kids.

    really.people like you are the curse of mankind and planet earth.

    IDIOTS RETARDS

    and Im also from a muslim addicted* family

    get education you idiot and you will know the reality.

  • @ilifeform <<<<<< easy to spot liars like you

  • Interstellar Travel... after your life on Earth then you will that journey..GOOD LUCK!

  • How terribly interesting... easily overlooked aspect of the challenges associated with interstellar travel... seems if we ever do work out how to travel to other stars, we may forget about ever returning

  • Travel in a tardis

  • You can't add velocity components as scalars. Learn vectors. Also there are no 6-7 directions there is just 1 direction of movement and 3 rotation components you are talking about components forming this 1 movement by combining 6-7 components that add to it as vectors.

    Lear some geometry too. And that's just the newtonian part going relativistic is way-way-way above this manner of talking.

  • Not true sir one may use the math to predict as to where each stellar and galactic entity will go it just seems hard to you but you are the reason we don't have flying light ships because of you lack of will and ingenuity . Good day to you !

  • Vid should be titled the "impossibility of interstellar travel"

  • thats very interesting, i never thought about how much the earth solar system and galaxy move

  • AWESOME VIDEO....loved it.

  • Excellent upload, gripping the seat of me chair here. Thanks Max.

  • What's the point in this video?

  • By the time we reach interstellar let alone intergalactic space travel, our computers will be more than efficient enough for these tasks.

  • or a reeeeeeeeeeeeally long piece of string.

  • I'd install a GPS: "Turn left at the next star and proceed 700 light years to the Crab nebular. Take the second exit and proceed 90 light years to your destination. Please take a break from driving in 550 years...."

  • This is a massive exaggeration... nearby stars are practically stationary relative to our sun because of the scale of the galaxy. On massive cosmic timescales, ofcourse stars with different orbital radii/inclinations will drift relative to the sun, but thats not a problem for any reasonable interstellar travel, even a few centuries "generation ship" wouldnt have a problem with this.

  • Are you aussie?

  • what about the expansion which gets bigger the further away we get.

  • @baalisgod666 Expansion?!? What expansion?

  • If these are the difficulties of interstellar travel then may be Intergalactic travel is impossible.

  • If you scaled the Sun-Earth distance to a meter, the distance to Alpha Centauri (the closest Star) would be 169 miles.

  • ON THE GREAT SPACE COASTER!!! Does anybody know how to get back to the giant fish skeleton??:D

  • Honest question about this proposed cumulative velocity. How can all these vectors in various directions be combined into a total figure? Sometimes these vectors don't compliment each other. For example, If a train is traveling 100km/h and I am walking towards the caboose at 10km, my total velocity is not 110km/h, but 90k/m. Adding perpendicular velocity to this makes no sense either.

  • 01:03 "if you were standing at a fixed point above the Earth looking at the ground, the ground would be moving at 1,041.8 mph" - The 1,041.7 mph figure is called the "speed of rotation" and is measured relative to the center of the planet. 05:10 "fixed point in the universe" simply doesn't exist, as of relativity there are no absolute reference frames, meaning no "fixed points" with respect to which you can make these measurements. I'm afraid this final calculation simply has no meaning!

  • @wanttoread5 The directions of all those vectors are always changing! This means that sometimes you get maximum combined speed, and sometimes those speeds cancel out to some degree! Remember we are rotating around Earth's axis, Sun's axis and around the galaxy core...

  • i love that. thx for posting

    

  • 1:42 on the sun, anyone else notice the saturnian glyph>?

  • love it max

  • Good video! It certainly brought a smile to my face :)

  • This was awesome.

  • What about the effects of consciousness and time? What were the Egyptians and the Mayans really up to with signs and symbols? I wonder if it was really about control , or manipulating time through consciousness. Just a thought.

    ~note~This was not intended as a religious statement .

  • @Livingvibe2 It's not intended as a religious statement but I can see why you said that since it's pure fantasy just like religion.

  • I'm not worried, because after about 30 years the average computer will be more intelligent than the entire human population.

    Also if we got to the moon with a computer as powerful as today's average calculator, then I think that by the time we can warp the space-time fabric (needed for faster than light travel) the computing abilities of our A.I. should be able to handle the vast amount of calculations involved.

  • er.....did you just add perpendicular velocities?????

  • i came here with an open mind, i enjoy the facts displayed, dont see how this can be offensive to anyone?

  • hmm..The speed of light is impossible.I was thinking about breaking space from point A to point B (bending).The only way to interstellar travel..we too far from discovering that if most scientists disregard the possibility of UFO existence..

  • Damn this sure puts me in perspective.

  • But really, all these calculations are the same that we need to travel within our own solar system but on a larger scale. Personally I believe that we could eventually develop computers which would find them a doddle. One thing is for sure though, the propulsion system for an interstellar craft is still our biggest obstacle.

  • This is a dead topic. 1) No one can really know if God exists and 2) whether or not you believe in their tenets, some Religions can be a harmless and unobtrusive way for people to experience respite and catharsis in their lives.

    Atheism, Agnosticism, Deism - none of these designations necessarily qualify you to call yourself or a group of people better or smarter.

    I'd just as soon call anyone who argues about it at length on the internet a douche than those who had the good sense not to.

  • Scientist are saying that if Interstellar travel is still yet to be improved by 2050-2060 period, they will give up the idea altogether and spend their money on better propulsion systems

  • I think that a better topic of discussion (instead of gods and shit) would be why the americans dont use the metric system. 

  • @paskapottakuussataa Hey! We went to the moon, stuck our flag on it, then gave up. Leave us alone!

  • In the title please change "to" to "do". or get rid of "I".

  • @Coasterfan87 OCD much?

  • Fuck God, Allah or whatever you call it.

    Space is amazing !

  • I'm dizzy from all the numbers and moving so fast. This is awesome.

  • If speed makes time flow faster, then we are actually traveling very fast through time relative to the normal flow of time!

  • maybe we were part of an inter-stellar civilization but we got cut off and became forgotten and after re-arising after the ice age we have yet to realize were we truly came from.

  • and as long as we're in the galaxy, it wont be harder to move around in, than it is to drive around on earth, in a car.

    and parhapps the dark matter/energy keeps everything rooted in the same way, so even if we got utside the galaxy, it wouldnt suddenly zip away at light speed.

  • this clip doesnt make much sense.

    we're tied to earths speed, and gravity. if we wernt, we'd be flung out into space as earth moves. like pulling a table cloth, and glasses etc remains.

    if im on a train that moves 1mile/sec, and i jump for 1sec, i'll still be on the train, not 1 mile away, when i land. if we move outside earths gravity, we're still stuck to the suns gravity, and orbit the sun, like the earth. so earth wont just zip away from us as soon as we leave its gravity field.

  • @elmondark It makes perfect sense. The video doesn't discuss gravity only how our bodies are moving along with the earth through space.

  • This is sort of misleading in that although the speeds listed seem high not when you compare them to the distances between the planets, stars and Galaxies. the change is quite small over time. so unless you go fora long time out and 1000s of light years from Earth would you then begin to get concerned.

  • .........this is a post about the difficult of space travel.....what does it have to do with religion?

  • OR you could just keep your butt on the planet where you belong....

  • lol. if you have the technology to step outside the GALAXY, my guess is you will have the technology to get back :-)

    and monty phyton had a better way of saying it all. check the universe song :-)

  • Thumbs down for fucking miles per hour.

  • fuck the quran you cunt

  • speed is relative.

  • wOw that is an amazing reality to think that we are actually adapted to feel like we are still. It does tell us that we can not always rely on our perceptions. No wonder we occasionally feel off balance. Difficult to believe that NAsa could actually ever overcome so many variables and make interstellar space travel possible. If we do travel to outerspace I think we will have to do it without our bodies. Very interesting info. Thks Max

  • Amazing Vid. I ty

  • I'm sure that by the time we manage to achieve inter-stellar/galactic space travel we'd have powerful enough navigational computers to calculate the way back based on some sort of inter-galactic navigational charts. Nevertheless, unlike, say Star Trek, I think the more probable mode of transport would be via some sort of inter-stellar/galactic tunnel/short-cut. I'm sure we'd have to think about many more problems, e.g. where do you anchor the other end of the tunnel?

  • i've viewed many of you video and sometime i get alittle confused with some of the terms you use so could please clarify on words like situ motion ect

  • LOL, Very good Max

  • GPS? i joke

  • @xSwift2strikex UPS I think best buy has them:)

  • the title to this should be : This is why NASA is a scam.....

  • this video is fuking awsome... thx

  • Why has this post been turned into a religious debate?

    Christian? Muslim? Jew? All are misguided.

    All one needs to know about religion is that all are false, all are systems of control and all have been put in place by the very same powers in order to convince people to look for external salvation rather than ever looking within where it can actually be found. End of story.

    Wake up to reality.

  • @KUzZ911 This clip was put here, purely out of interest and hopefully to raise a smile on peoples faces. It was not put here for people to squabble over which fictitious system of religious control first decided to lay claim to the information.

  • @aodscarecrow I want people like you to know that God Exist's. Proof Evidence's are given in the Holy Quran which is sent by the only 1 God.

    Please Brother! Do give yourself a chance to read the Holy Quran in English Translated by Yusuf Ali. Your eyes will open if you read it with open Mind.

    If you read Biost, Out of Contex Articals & Websites written against the Holy Quran, will make you Brainwashed. Stay-Away from it Brother.

    Check my Profile Video's to Learn but the Quran is the Best!

  • @aodscarecrow if you stay in the milky way arm, wouldn't you go with earth due the gravity? so if thats right it means that if you stay in the milky way you just have to go back to a fixed point right? and when you go of the milky way you will still travel with the same speed with the galaxy, right cuz there is nothing in space to slow you down right? so does that mean that it would be more simple to navigate back to earth when your out of the milkyway then it sounds how you explain it?lol im 14

  • @KUzZ911 If they are already in your holy book then they are *already discovered" then aren't they?

    I think what you mean is that scientists, probably non-Muslims, will discover something new then some Muslims will pretend some vague thing in their bronze age book already showed us the thing we just figured out.

  • @KUzZ911 How preposterous! Only a moron would take your imbecilic comment serious, such as other inbred Muslims. Now fuck off and leave videos like this for the intelligent.

  • @MrrAussieHass ..yes you really show your intelligence with that statement ..long with your lack of self control, your hatred, your lack of sociality, your hostility, your lack of human-kindness and your bigotry ...

    CONGRATULATIONS you have evolved into a real human being !!!! now pls go kiss the queen's ring like a good little puppy dog .... : )

  • @914light , and that coming from a deluded inbred Pedo worshiping felcher. Kiss my arse, you delusional shit kicker you. And whilst your at it, shove that toilet paper plagiarized book you monkeys refer to as the Quaran. Hoping thats evolved enough for you son of a turd.

  • @MrrAussieHass ...bless your little heart ...you hate filled baboon ..keep struggling ..your brain may just develop past a pea size someday ...now be a good dog and GO HUMP someone else's leg....you're boring to me !! BTW i aint muslim ....

  • @914light Hehehehe... You tosser! The only dog I see here is the little bitch, attacking me to aid an inbred Muslim, like a good little Christian cunt. Now which is it? Baboon or dog? O'intelligent one.

    Bless my arse maggot.

  • @MrrAussieHass ...your filth speaks volumes of you !! Pls do the planet a favor and jump off ...!!

  • @aodscarecrow well said you make a great point it is absolutely true that you can make your own reality.

    its funny how people cringe at the idea of wearing second hand clothes, and you wouldn't be happy walking into a restaurant and being served a customers leftovers and how about using someone else toothbrush NO WAY, but as humans we persist in taking on and living in others. Im about to subscribe you are a wise human.

  • @pilytkid Gee, you're really bad at this "analogy" stuff.

  • @CastleHotel thank you,

    most kind. I am grateful for your interaction in a negative state of thinking, my point exactly thank you for being stuck in the reality that most people are stuck in. Think a little about you time space reality and where you are in each moment and try and live your life outside the mirror image of your own reality and you will move forward at an accelerated rate. I send you beautiful love and joy, peace my brother xxxx

  • @pilytkid Put down the bong for a second so you can type something coherent.

  • @CastleHotel once again thank you for your stereotypical negativity, you make me smile that there is still people like you when we know so much more about how to be so much more. Think a little outside your box and you may transcend into the first phase of becoming human, after that who knows what is possible for someone like you, good luck on your journey, Love and peace to you my brother xxx

  • @aodscarecrow what if reality is not what you think it is? well all one needs to know is that theres always things above us, existed before us that our span in understanding them is very limited.. think about ranks, no matter how u think youre the highest, there's always other people higher than u

  • @aodscarecrow Well said Max... and I am a seminary student (lol) and was stuck in the religious paradigm for almost 30 years. I respect other religions but I (myself) am no longer religious.. people confuse that to mean I no longer believe in God but that is quite the opposite. I found (became aware of) God and the connection I have with all things when I left religion!

  • @aodscarecrow Many people like you have lost faith or never had it. I'm not gonna preach or anything i'm just saying that when times are bad in someones life or in the world, we need someone to look up to, someone that will always be there for us no matter if he/she is fake or not.

  • You said there were 6 directions the Earth is moving. That's enough information to calculate in a 3D space where the Earth is, where it was and a projection of where it will be. We also have to remember that when you jump inside of a train you don't get taken to the back of the car at however fast the train is moving. If a space ship appears to have stopped, it's still at least moving as fast the galaxy in 2 ways, the spin and the direction it's moving. Nice vid tho, reminds me of Monty Python.

  • allah grew out of a piece of sh1t

  • @crazychikn

    With comments like that you give violent people more reasons to hurt people who are not from their sect, you give them material to recruit poor and ignorant youth. You are helping the radicals.

    Only love and reason will solve religious bigotry.

  • cool video

  • oh and i swear i could feel the Earth moving the other day ;-D

  • What about traveling through a wormhole fized in orbit around a star, like in Mass Effect?

  • cool i was thinking about this today

  • If we find means for FTL propulsion, i'm quite confident we can also manage space navigation. We'll just take one step at the time, and tackle problems as they appear that's all.

  • well, that's solves it, I will stay here on Earth and be the best waiter I could

  • can u repeat that please? lol

  • Awesome! 

  • That was awesome, thanks for sharing:)

  • Hehe.. great! For a while there i thought i was listening to Alienscientist ;)

  • calculation is irrelevant if you use receiver it would be no different than finding sputnik

  • this is the best ride ever weeeeeeeeeee!!!!

  • No wonder I am getting so wrinkled..

  • NICE VIDEO & WELL CALCULATED!

  • brb throwing up

  • So, flying to moon and back to earth would take a huuuge effort? Did we have that advanced spacecraft back in 60's? Confusing, mind blowing indeed..

  • @Vildahallon It's distance, my friend, distance. The moon is practically a pimple on our face compared to the distance Max is talking about.

  • @Vildahallon Sorry. I hit the reply to soon. It is also relative motion. You don't just step off the planet and it speeds past you. You are also traveling the same speed as the planet. So it's easy to get to the moon. just add a bit more velocity and attitude to you vector. Taking that into account we can easily travel through out the solar system, but outside that distance is almost impossible because you loose fix point position with distance.

  • But still whatever point of reference you chose to end on will also be moving and that process will go on indefinitely. Which is what Einstein pointed out with relativity that the only real point of reference in space is YOU, the only thing that doesnt move.

  • I feel like an ant, a dizy one.

  • one kick ass vid, excellent !

  • Forever And Beyond The Infinite ...

    HUGE Media Blackout Regarding

    Earth and Moon Orbital Changes?

    Icke 23rd October (06:54AM)

  • The early space traveller would have to keep earth always in sight ,and then the next "landscape mark" in sight after that one --a bit like unravelling a very long ball of string right ?

  • Absolutely Amazing Max!!

  • JUST USE THE GPS

  • as Hegel once said " that which is well know is for that reason not known". Why? because we take it for granted - it is a blind spot. There are a lot of assumptions in this video, but it does make one think. We are part of something much greater than us, and no matter how much we may have explained, all WE really have is explanations, not the real thing. A great video and very well presented. Thank you.

  • Is there such a thing as a fixed point in the universe? What would u use as a point of reference? This is all assuming that Einstein's theory of space/time holds; His theories of gravitation are indisputable, not not his concept of space/time which I think for various reasons is flawed. He reduced time to space through its measurement; Kant in the 18th century stated that time and space have no objective reality but are intuitions. I am not a scientist, but a philosopher.

  • "Things are only impossible, until they're not." 

  • Weeeee.....

  • interesting but what's your point Max?

  • Bottom line, we're moving fuckin fast.

  • maxwell igan is a genious

  • "there is no matter as such......"

  • ...caw kaw ckauw

    ~think like a bird with a compass built in to your brain, forget the old ways of strait lines made by the protractor and ruler !

  • Annother brilliant piece.. aside from the issue of accelerating ones sorry ass and his ship t light speed and getting anywhere in the first place.. navigation might be by means of a solar systems RF signature.. the on board computers would stay locked on that signature via radio telescopes and obtained as it left our solar system.... an outside read on our systems RF finger print. Navigation back would a homing tactic..like der salmons finding the same patch of gravel from 20,000 miles away

  • @cori800888 totally agree with you. a homing system wouldn't need to store and presume any stellar paths, or orbits. it would be flexible and work in almost any scenario. It's also simple and difficult to break! Ok, we're ready to go build this thing now.

  • ALL THIS INFORMATION WAS SENT BY GOD THROUGH THE HOLY QURAN 1450YRS AGO. BIG BANG, PLANETS, GRAVITY, MOON, SUN, GALAXY, PLANTS LIFE, WATER, ANTZ, BEE'S, BABY IN MOTHER'S WOMB STEP, MOUNTAINS PHERON'S BODY, CURE'S ILLNSS, ETC & MUCH MORE THINGS YET TO BE DISCOVERD BY SCIENTISTS ARE STILL IN THE HOLY QURAN. ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE CREATED BY ALLAHA (God) EVEN THE MATERIELS & FOOD WE USE TO CREATE NEW IDEAS, TECHNONLGY. WITHOUT THESE MATERIALS WE CANNOT DO ANYTHING! ALLA CREATED IT FOR EVERYONE!!!

  • @KUzZ911

    Who created God?

  • @asperin Who created God? Nothing, God is uncreative.

    Its like saying, A man gave birth to a baby, Was it girl or a boy? Your answer will be, A man cant give Birth & it doesn't any make sense.

    That's why when you say who created God? It also doesn't make any sense! (Nothing Created Powerful God (Allaha))

  • @KUzZ911

    It doesn't make any sense to say God created everything either. Why must there be a God for things to exist?

  • @asperin Why must there be a God for things to exist?

    God hasn't gave anyone the knowledge to think that Deep!

    God has gave us humans the brain to create new ideas, like Technology, Food, Materials, Ideas, Science, Cloths etc...

    We use these Ideas from our brains for Good use & Bad use.

    Who has provided us these Materials? God

    This can never come by chance!

    Who controls our Life & Death. Even being Health Rich with Wealth & Cures, Death can come anytime as an Excuse!

    GOD IS TESTING ALL!

  • @KUzZ911

    Humans create new ideas?

    But didn't God created humans knowing everything they would do before they even did it? God decided what humans were going to create because he created them knowing what they were going to do.

    That reasoning is flawed. Omniscience and omnipotence contradict free will. (If we're talking logically).

    Things could have not come by chance? Did God himself come by chance?

  • @asperin

    As I told you before, God hasn't gave us Human's the Brain to think Deep that ''Who Created God''.

    Its tougher (Uncomparable) than a Calculator by adding Numbers forever & never reaching the End.

    God has made us to Test all Humans in this World, If were going to believe in our Creator God or ignore. This world is a Temporary place for All Human beings.

    After our Death, We will be Tested on the Day of Judgement. The Disbeliever's will realise straight about God. & its sins.
