  • what about tachyons? they are particles traveling faster than the speed of light.

  • actualy, thare are things called neutrinos that can, and do travel faster then light!

  • @RobsTimesFilms or can find inter dimensional corridors that they can cheat and take short cuts to destinations.

  • @MegaYdg no, scientists know that they can travel faster than light!

  • @RobsTimesFilms I'm pretty sure that the Neutrino's speed was remeasured, and it was proven that they can not go faster then the speed of light. Also, Neutrinos are known to interact weirdly with other matter, so it's entirely possible that it was messing with our detectors. Even if that's not the case, the margin of error indicates that they are *probably* traveling under the speed of light.

  • the fuck i think im tripping out

  • you know how you have a bike wheel in your arms and it spins it wants to go one way or the other, if you had them spinning facing each other it would be like a squid in water, you'd have to pump it, no friction to slow it down or speed of eccelerantbase on fuel flow, I think we could crack it, ain't no G's in space, If you had a pole, lets say 4,000,000 long and a torch and your m8 was at the end, if you pushed the pole, your m8 would sence the pole move before the torch smashing the speed of L.

  • @silleeellis so maybe a thunderous shock wave coursed by release of pressure could catapalt us through space on the shock wave, surf,s UP. Target practice anyone, canas MAJAR, blowing up black holes sounds alright, but were playing with fire, this wouldn,t happen until every mother Fucker on the planet has a degree, the big bang had to be happening beyond the speed of light, I think there is a lot happening, its just to small and fast and big to see or it flatens out at light speed daynightday.?

  • Im sorry but, I think that einstein's law that the speed of light is as fast as you can go, is a bunch of BS.

  • Time only appears to slow down. Distances do not shrink 4.5 ly @ 0.9 = ((1/0.9)x4.5) = 5 years At that velocity only massless particles exist. It is total hogwash. At least, for the foreseeable future, Man is stuck on this planet. Astronomy is the biggest hoax after the invisible God. We only have light from those far off objects. We only speculate. Nuclear Fusion is still embryonic. Only thoughts of Man can travel faster than light. Astronomy is a fascinating subject. Keep on dreaming.
  • @amoralis123 At CERN they accelerate hadrons to the 99,999999 procent of the speed of light. And hadrons definately have mass. Having spectroscopy, we have proof what wavelenghts of light are being sent by different elements, how those wavelenghts change with speed of na object etc. etc. So we don't have to speculate obout lots of things in astronomy.

  • @memotion

    There is a problem: physicality of humans. Humans can survive only at 1 atmosphere. Star Trek's: Beam Up Scottie, is the biggest joke or BS. Even molecules are giants in Physics.

    Travelling at the velocity of light is not possible under any circumstance for any molecular object.

    Little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

    Today's pseudo scientists fall into that category. Please do not make science like religion.

    Leave science alone, go practise a religion.

    Yes, I studied Astro Physics.

  • @amoralis123 If you call Star trek a science film, then ad a comment about 1 atmosphere like there was no space suits, then speak about traveling at the speed of light, like somebody would say it is possible. Then you say about religion, like somebody would say that is religious.

    And firstly you said that at 90% of the LS only massless particles can travel, means, that you have studied astro physics, but had an iPod turned on with loud music, and couldn't hear what is going on during lectures.

  • @memotion

    Touché, I like your comment about iPod. No my Uni days were a very long time ago. Yes, I am bit cheesed off with pseudo science all around me: Quantum Medicine, Nibiru, Space Travel, Telepathy, Mind Reading, Ghosts, ET, UFO, Crop Circles, the list is long. Please do not put words in my mouth about ST a science film. I said that it was a joke / BS. Also I never said that at 90% C only massless particles can travel.

    The topic for humans to travel at C is impossible. There is not even

  • @memotion

    a theoretical possibility. At C, even nuclei have problems staying intact. Recent experiment indicating the existence of subluminal particles shall give opportunities to pseudo scientist to rake money. Instead of educating public at large our Media is misusing facts and scientific opinions commercializing them to the detriment of society. Gene Therapy, especially in the Cosmetics, is a prime example of such abuse.

    Unfortunately, humans in its present physical format is stuck to remain

  • i think one day , people will hail gene rodenberry for being a true visionary

  • Dear NASA, If you are seeking a candidate for interstellar travel with the possibility of no return, i am your man.

    Sincerely,

    Smantoff.

  • 99.8% of speed of light is slower than 99.999999% of speed of light. What about this?

  • Just wondering, but where did you find the number for the radius of the universe? I always thought that the radius of the universe, in light years, would be at most equal to the age of the universe in years, if Einstein were correct in that nothing can move faster than the speed of light. Thus, if the universe is 13.75 billion years old (time since the big bang), wouldn't that limit the size of the universe to about 27.5 billion lightyears in diameter?

  • @MrExperior

    Because the "universe" is expanding. I.E spacetime is expanding.

    Thats why in theoretical physics it is thought to be possible to travel faster then the speed of light by "some form of a warp engine, that warps spacetime, by expanding it behind you, and constricting it in front of you"

  • @daiko2201 How can we travel faster than the speed of light? Albert Einstein said that the shorstest distance between two point in a paper is not a straight line, but if we bend the paper, where the two points touched , that will be the shortest distance. So we have to bend space? How do you see it?

  • @wardogmobius

    Michio Kaku: Faster than light speed is possible

  • Comment removed

  • 0:51 - 1:21

    So its safe to say there is other life in the universe? Per say a bacteria that may evolve into creatures similar to us?

  • Comment removed

  • @2tame4fame When we see all those things floating around up there, There are actually vast distances between them.

  • @MostUnfortunate I'm not saying that you would run into a star, but into some pea sized object. Lol. Besides you can't accelerate close to the speed of light due to the gain in mass. I was just taking the piss.

  • @2tame4fame Forcefields. IIRC the british recently tested one...that stays online for a fraction of a second tho.

  • @2tame4fame I have always wondered that thought myself.

  • @2tame4fame you wouldn't need too, your time line and resination would almost be stopped so if my calculations are correct, you fly through it.

  • @2tame4fame the real question is

    How can you ever collide with a planet/moon/or star when you are traveling at the speed of light, since not even a single solar system even comes remotely close to colliding with one another when galaxies run straight into one another each containing trillions of stars each with solar systems.

  • @2tame4fame time slows down. easier to avoid, plus they will always plan a way where there will be nothing in the way.

  • @2tame4fame 4 months too late but.... dont you remember star wars? trek or gate?! loll set a course :P

  • The best way to travel in space is to use the quantum functions of your brain and be a "guest" inside another entity anywhere in the universe in real time.

  • @downdatubes I already tried that and it doesn't work! wishing it didn't work!

  • I came here because I was looking for Eminem Space Bound

  • how do cosmologists wrap their head around "the big bang theory"and what was it before and why it happend? I'm an athiest perhaps an anti-thiest.what's the best way in words to articulate an era before space and time?

  • @interfan63 Christians also believe in a time before time and space. In fact, some of them even believe in the big bang...like myself. But that's another story.

    Anyways, without time the universe would be like a photograph, and without space the universe would look like an infinitely tiny dot.

  • @interfan63 From what I understand, since time was created at that moment, there wasn't a "before" the big bang. Asking for a beginning is like asking for a point on Earth which is "south" of the south pole.

    But I wouldn't worry about it. "Time" as we know it, is only an illusion.

    We want to imagine a time before the big bang only because our simple minds are used to thinking that way. But whether we like it or not, things don't always behave according to our "simple minds". :p

  • @interfan63 - Yup, you said it. No matter how conclusive astronomers gets, they can't explain everything that affects what is really out there.

  • I HAVE COME TO PROVE A PIECE OF THIS VIDEO FALSE! E=mc2 has been thrown out the window. WE NOW HAVE A PARTICLE KNOW AS neutrinos THAT CAN GO FASTER THAN LIGHT.

  • @Redjoker96 it hasnt been proved

  • @Redjoker96 The jury is still out on that one. It might be that the difference between the expectant arrivel of the neutrinos and the time measured, is the result of gravity-effects on time, and not that the neutrinos moved faster than light. Search for "Faster-than-light neutrinos face time trial" at Nature magazines website. (Youtube won't allow me to post the url here, for some reason).

  • I don't understand. Gliese 581g is 20.5 light years from earth. Travelling at 90% the speed of light it would take 20.5 / 2.29 = 8.95 years not 6 years.

    The Andromeda Galaxy is 2.5 million light-years from Earth. At 98% the speed of light it would take: 2.5 million / 5.025 = 497512 years not 28 years.

    How is this calculated?

  • @Koosnaam - actually, when travelling at the speed of light, you automatically slow down time, so for example, alpha centauri is about 4.5 lightyears away, but we don't have to wait that long, because when you travel at the speed of light, you would reach the system in about 4 or 5 weeks.. if you travel around the earth at the speed of light for 7 years, and when you land on earth, you're suddenly 500 years into the future.

  • @DemiathDoomhammer we found particles that can go faster than the speed of light know. 

  • @DemiathDoomhammer its actually Proximo Centurai which is the closest

  • plus we dont know how big the universe is. with all these forces and matter, there cant be a limit. one particular force im talking about is dark energy.no not dark matter, dark energy.what dark energy does is this. imagine if you were playing baseball and you hit the ball and it keep gaining speed and would never stop. so right now dark energy is making the universe bigger and bigger.but, it is to slow to see through the naked eye.

  • @TheAmericanFreeBird i wouldnt call it prison... it is a rather interesting planet, i can bet one of the most interesting in the whole galaxy, if not the most

  • @elmalacopa we've only discovered like 0.0000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000001% of the universe, and you think we're the most interesting thing? Well, maybe we are from what we know now, but just wait 50 years, we'll have found thousands of planets like us, that rival us.

  • @Halflifefan54 that why i said "one of the most interesting in the whole galaxy" not "the most interesting in the universe". All I was doing was defending our planet from being called "prison". And yes, I agree with you.

  • @elmalacopa well, there are somewhere between 100 billion - 400 billion total stars in our galaxy, 3/4 of them probably have planets around them, that's like 25 billion - 300 billion planets! I'm guessing that more then 1 planet out of those would support life :P Earth isn't really like a prison, i agree. but if it is, it'd be the best prison ever! All the beauty here, compressed into one tiny sphere....

  • @Halflifefan54 yeah i agree with you, i want to recommend you a documentary i found here on youtube "THE DEEP OCEAN" that demonstrates that life could even be on our own solar system, because life becomes so weird on the bottom of the ocean of our own planet, that it would be dumb to think there is no more life in the rest of the galaxy... and obviously the universe. Do you think we'll live to know about a discovery like this? I dont think so :( Nice talking to you bro.

  • @elmalacopa Okay, I'll have to check that out. And yes, we might even live to see life in our solar system, which is DEFINITELY a possibility. Europa, one of Jupiter's moons is theorized to have a sub-surface ocean, which is a major thing for life. Also, Titan, one of Saturn's moons has huge lakes with liquid methane, and we detected large amounts of organic compounds in the air and atmosphere of it. I think humans finding life elsewhere is almost inevitable. I bet it'll happen within 50 years

  • @elmalacopa I wouldn't imagine that it is the most interesting in the universe, but rather one of many.

  • Wow, apparently you made this video, i am impressed by the quality... INCREDIBLE! Thanks for sharing this!!!

  • Very beautiful, very touching! Keep up the good work!

  • "what we find instead is infinitely more interesting" ouch - your unnecessary judgement on religion tacked onto an otherwise nice video.

  • @sleepyfish

    yeah I kinda agree w/ sleepyfish

  • @sleepyfish no offense, but i do agree, we need to start thinking more on saving our species and find a way to easily travel within this universe rather than dying and hoping for a boring heaven, just saying... cheers

  • It really comes as a surprise that creationists have the ignorance to put forward their beliefs on a video that proves them wrong.

  • The increase in mass also causes a problem, since the force is inversely proportional to the mass.

  • if the average distance between stars is one light year then we must be a statistical anomoly since our nearest star is well over 4 light years away.

  • @Zurround100 Well it's only an average distance. They have to include all of the stars in the galaxy, and some of them are very close to each other (such as in the core), while others are a light year or two (such as the rings around the core). As you get further out the stars are farther apart but when you figure the averages throughout the whole galaxy with all stars considered it's 1-2 light years on average. There will be stars 10 light years apart, but also stars a 1/4 light year as well.

  • If you could reason with the religious there simply would be no religious, for reason is beyond their grasp

  • @TheTenada

    i do belive in other life out there besides us. but who says that g-d didnt creat that also, i mean why do people belive that g-d exists only on earth. who says other species who are way more advance that us who visited us dont have a religion of their own.

    good video by the way i hope its the first in the series

  • @gaveee if they where more advanced than us, they would have realized how idiotic fallowing a dogmatic religion would be, none the less they probobly have advanced the knowledge of the spiritual ''one consciousness''

  • @iwalkbefordeath and the "one consciousness" could very well be god. why do people belive that if a civilazation is advance they know everything they know more than us.. maybe or probably. but who says they know everything.

    look at whats goin on in the world from music industry to politics and everything in between.. even quantim physics proves that god exists, with the two slit experiment. where did that consciousness come from 14billion years ago when there wasnt anything? think about it

  • @gaveee I have my own theory of how the 'big bang' happend which is more realistic than a ''out of nowhere'' big bang.

    What does music industry and politics have anything to do with ''god'' ?. and what is your definition of ''god''

  • @iwalkbefordeath god is the creator of everything, and if you havent noticed any patterns in the actions of people in power meaning movies music politics and te list could go on. you should just keep your nose in TV and history books.... but you seem like a reasonable person so maybe youll figure it out someday

  • @gaveee in a privet message explain, i wana know your perspective and see how it differs from mine

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @manzar9121 LOL.

  • I apologize for my ignorance sir, but many DO see all of this as a work of God, and you have no reasons whatsoever to undermine or criticize it at all! I always wonder why do atheists start saying "God is not important" because of their own personal paradigms while a huge population of intellects actually have a very opposite view!..no, stars have certainly NOT left the dominion of God in the majority of human population, and actually never will, period! its only what you think!

  • you dont travel troug galaxy by simply flying you can use dark matter because it has no such limits..xD

  • @chikita1234 You are very closed minded. Religious people such as yourself that bash any idea other than their own, exhalting themselves over others like they are superior but really they are fools.

  • the voyager 1 was projected @ the wrong direction, they cauld off got it going to gliese it"s now to late that contraption is long gone.

  • Relativity was a bizarre concept concocted by someone with a very severe case of mental autism; it will never be proven neither way, in fact it is impossible to prove. It even wasn't his idea to begin with, it was swindled from an Italian amateur physicist. Time to purge physics from the mental illness called modern day "mathematical physicists".

  • 47 billion light years? How did you get to that number, did you use a tape measure?

    *sigh* big bangers and their idiotic self confidence.

  • @Pissoffyowpunk Why dont you look up how they came to that conclusion.You think Einstein had autism? lol What a weirdo you are

  • I guess all that is one answer to Fermi's "paradox."

  • just a mind blowing video, i have to go through all your vids now. thanks for all the uploads

  • what if the people inn gliese laid eggs

  • @marho82 Then I suppose, if they're viable, the eggs would eventually hatch. Why, what else would you expect? :-?

  • Mind = blown.

  • Some of the greatest minds of our time say that we shouldn't hold all our "eggs in one basket." Every time I turn on the news I wonder if they might be wrong.

  • Why does star travel remove God's existence? arrogant really....However an interesting video...also, I believe in God and the Big Bang Theory and I am a Gay Christian, also I believe in UFO's.....nothing is set in stone....i do look up......

  • @italianman004 -- I totally agree.. I'm gay myself, and I'm of Christian origin. The big bang theory could be involved with the story of creation. For 1 day that passes for us is 1000 for God. Anything and everything is possible.

  • @TheMightyKilokahn : yep my experiences has been Gay and Christian are not uncommon ..I know others that believe in the big bang and evolution too, and also scientist are combining both as well.....people today have and are keeping an open mind ....not one person has all the answers.. the.Jerry Falwell's of the day have are gone bye bye.........keep looking up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @italianman004 wat? where does it say that?

  • @italianman004 you just want men to visit ur anus

  • @italian Long ago, humans created gods to explain the unknowns in the world around them. U can get a better sense of how overwhelmed the ancients were by the world around them when you look at the night sky far away from any form of modern civilization. Lacking an explanation for these things, they began to create gods, attributing the things and phenomenons they cannot explain to it. Simply put, god=unknown. So knowledge essentially removes the places where gods becomes necessary explanations.

  • @RoniCMaster Greatest explanation ever.

    Thumbs up for you kind sir.

  • oh my god only 6 light years glisea 581 g is closer then i thought

  • just the thought of millions of years going by while i would still be living depresses me :(

  • distant campfires, someone has been watching Carl Sagan!

  • WE CAN USE THE STARGATES!!!!! lol xD

  • What happen with wormholes i thought wormhels..... ugrr never mind.

  • If I heard this vid right, if we could reach light speed then we could travel any distance in no time at all. Ie Zero time. Which makes sense. Because approaching that speed, lenght is shortened in the direction of travel. And at light speed lenght becomes zero. Trouble is, there`s never a ship that can do it when you want one !

  • in order to travel such long distances efficiently the space craft that you'd be traveling in would have to pull the fabric of space; distort space & time TO the craft thereby bending the fabric of space, time , and gravity. It'll make space travel more efficient by avoiding time consuming linear travel.

  • And that makes neither belivers or non-belivers in any way better than the other party. Never forget that and do not look down on each other.

    Maybe both are right or neither...

  • "Through honest inquiry, these tiny distant points of light in our night sky have finally left the realm of myth, magic, superstition and god. As we pere closer into the face of heaven, what we find instead is infinitly more interesting"

    LOVE IT! :-)

  • could you explain why time is perceived slower and why the space ship would shrink at the speed of light?

  • Comment removed

  • So the Milky Way is around One hundred thousand light years across. So traveling across the Milky Way even at the speed of light would take 100 thousand years, right? I'm kinda confused with the short durations to these far off places.

    great video tho, keep up the good work...

  • @yianni2007

    Well the universe will age 100 000 years, but for us, the ones traveling at near lightspeed, would only have traveled a tiny fraction of that time. The faster u travel through space, the slower u travel through time.

    Im sorry for my bad english and poor explenations. I recommend u check out some other videos of tdarnell where he explains this in dephts.

  • Comment removed

  • Great vid

  • yeah there is somthing that can overcome the limitation :D and i figured out how to do it, at only 18 years old. look up rodin coils and how they work, the answer is in the coil.

  • @michelXShawn

    bahahahahhaah

  • @RocketmanUT lol laughing at me? hahaha i was hoping to get more then just you :/

  • I was thinking the other day that it would pointless to send astronauts to other worlds in ships that would take years or decades to get there because by the time they arrived, they could very well find that other astronauts traveling in faster ships could have beaten them to it. It's not like we would wait around for their slow ship to arrive if, after their departure, we discovered a newer, faster means of propulsion.

  • When is nasa making a moon base

  • @Hadouken471

    lol Japan is already working on that....Remember our Government thinks war is more important than inspiring others with space exploration/technology...

  • our curiousity is rivaled only by our ignorance

  • Awesome Tony ! both parts are works to be proud of, and I thank you.

  • I want to know if there really IS a restaurant at the end of the galaxy..

  • Star Travel, 1st step is a nuclear powered moon base.

  • I love your videos! They are incredibly well presented and beautifully displayed. Can't wait for the next one!

  • Yet another awesome video mr. Darnell.

    My all time favorite TV series is Cosmos - A personal voyage, by Carl Sagan, wich I am sure you are familiar with as well, and it has occoured to me that you would be the perfect host / narrator of an updated remake of that epic series.

    Cosmos is, in my opinion, long overdue for a remake, and it should be a remake of the original series, not another one like the BBC Space series and likes.

    So get PBS and maybe Discovery Channel on the phone and get started

  • So what if I only went for five mins at the speed of light.. so i went out in this ship five mins later i came back to earth the whole universe has aged like 6 month.. tht defo does not happen

  • if something were to travel at the speed of light... wouldnt it be obliterated almost instantly by a cluster of gas, space rocks and debris? basically ANYTHING

  • yeah, that's a bunch-o-crap. what do you mean the size of the universe? aren't we restricted by a light horizon from ever seeing past a certain point? and where is the center of the universe from which this radius was drawn?

    are we the center? that sure would be a Ptolemaic view of the universe.

  • "what we find instead, is infinately more interesting"

    beautiful words to match a beautiful video!

  • another question... the people on the ship travelling to this andromida galaxy the closes tone to us.. even though it would take about 28 years for the ship to get there but the whole universe would of aged 2 million years.. so does that mean the people on the ship wouldn't age that 2 million years ?

  • @TheMURPHSTER101 thats right, they would have only aged 28 years

  • i love your vids

  • Thank you, always well done.

  • Always happy to see more from ya mr.darnell

  • @TheMURPHSTER101: You're catching a glimmer of the true meaning of "relativity". The trip still takes more time than the distance at the speed of light. If the destination is 4.7 light years away, a stationary observer on Earth still sees the trip taking a bit more than 4.7 years. For the crew of the ship, the faster they go, the slower time passes and to them, the shorter the trip.The shift in time is not linear, but exponential, so you have to go very fast to slow your shipboard time a lot.

  • i don't understand when u explain the time it would take to get places at the speed of light..I always thought if something is 4 light years away... to get there would take 4 years at the speed of light is that correct ? cause in this video you comment on it would only take 1.25 years at 90% speed of light to get to the closest star but u say its 4.5 light years away. Can anyone make this clear cheers.

  • @TheMURPHSTER101 It would take 1.25 years to get there to the people on the ship.

  • @TheMURPHSTER101 i meansto the people watching from out side it would take bout 4 years but due to the time in the space ship slowing due to the speed it would only seem like 1.25 years for the people on board kinda like going to sleep and waking 8 hours later and it seems u only just closed your eyes

  • I knew it would come at a cost, but going to the edge of the Universe in 100 years?! That is impressive!

  • Lol who are the tards rating this video down?

  • @KalimaShaktide: I can imagine two types: Sci-Fi fans who want their FTL drives more than common sense and religious nutjobs who think the stars are lights on a crystal sphere.

  • TDarnell, you are awesome! I appreciate these videos so much!

  • Ok, a starship going at 100% light speed would have a foreshortened lenth of zero and become two dimensional.

    To warp space you would need a white hole. (anti gravity)

    Wouldn't it be easier to just build a fusion reactor (space ramjet)?

  • Fantastic! video man

  • I love this and helped be better understand light year too!! Thanks so much for sharing this!

  • So if a guy moves close 2 the speed of light,time slows down 4 him but the universe, the people on earth and everything else would have been moving through time normally thus the guy when returning 2 earth would come back years after thus causing him to be in the future and actually skip time when he finally slows down?please answer .Also how fast is the expansion of the universe ?

  • @narutoasda Don't think of it as 'skipping' time; the traveler just experiences time at a different rate. He doesn't just magically appear some day in the 'future', either, since for him--as for everyone--it is always the present. He simply arrives at home having aged less than everyone else, i.e., having not experienced as much time.

    Wiki "Hafele–Keating experiment" and "time dilation" for some fun reading.

  • This guy need s to learn how to speak louder and clearer

  • another fantastic video thumbs up keep the vids comming :D

  • This clip is somewhat humbling. I love being able to see the galaxies for what they look like.

    Why don't we worry more about expanding life through space rather than learning how to turn a profit on stocks? I would've loved an astronomy course in elementary school.

  • I always thought a light year is how long it takes light to reach a certain destination. Like, for example, Gliese 581 = 20 light years away. Then wouldnt it take 20 years (travelling at the speed of light) to get there? I am a little confused. If someone, or yourself tdarnell could explain it to me. Thanks!

  • @grahammoorhead A light year is not a measure of time. Instead it is a measure of distance. One light year is the distance that light travels in one year. That distance is approximately 5.88 trillion miles.

  • @grahammoorhead Gliese581 is 20 light years away so it would take 20 years travelling at the speed of light to get there. That is true, but because a light year measures distance, it means that Gliese is 20 light years away or 20 times 5.88 trillion miles which is 117 trillion miles away.

  • @sonofagunM357 good. piss off

  • @sonofagunM357: Sorry that your 2000 year old philosophy was offended but it’s about time you idiots wake up and discover the Universe for what it actually is. The actuality of the Universe is infinitely more astonishing than magic, myth, legend, superstition, and any religion.

  • Very cool im a space fan myself thanks for posting

  • I'm a dummy in this, but I just red an article on string theory, if these exist, the speed of light around cosmic strings should be different (due to their massive gravity), so without exceeding c one still can travel at FTL speed compared to normal 3D undeformed space-time while he flies along cosmic string.

    If it's true, if a cosmic is nearby and if we develop spaceships that could reach reach decent percentage of c, than travel to distant stars would take only years, not decades or centuries

  • @tdarnell Is it even possible in the far far distant future for humans to travel anywheres near 90% the speed of light? Is there research in that field? There must have been new spacecraft ideas or developments in the 30 years since voyager 1.

  • Is it not true that every point in the universe is the center and there is no way to escape or get to the edge of space because it is being constantly created and expanding? since everything is the center everything is moving away from everything else?

  • who are the three mupets that disliked this video?

    and more to the point, why?...

  • ok so you know the radius of the universe.

    now tell me, whats beyond that???

  • @ox4poluter must be god.......you can't understand it...so...yeah, must be god.

  • I wonder if aliens would have that technology because how far they are ahead is like we are cavemen looking at a rocke tship... so i think with contact with the extra terrestrial we might get a whole new advance in things

  • @TizEre now that sir' is a good question

    we'll just have to wait for them to contact us because man will never acheive contact with them i just hope it happens in my lifetime

  • @ox4poluter Yeaah very true and like you said i hope its in my lifetime :)

  • Like Carl Sagan said, "How lucky we are to live in this time". which I really feel.

    The universe is much more interesting than God and all the that superstition.

    Love your videos man, keep 'em coming.
