The Only Way to Go Interstellar: Faster Than Light Propulsion #fasterthanlight #asteronx

foreign [Music] faster than light also referred to as FTL superluminal super casual travel and communication are the propagation of matter or information faster than the speed of light [Music] the simpler special theory of relativity implies that only particles with a zero rest Mass such as photons and gravitons may travel at the speed of light and that nothing else may travel faster however the more complex general theory of relativity permits effective or local speeds faster than light hello and welcome to Iris astronx in general relativity it is possible to distort space-time such that a region can be kept flat that is without any gravitational fields or shifts in time creating a bubble of flat space time from inside the bubble the surrounding space time appears to be moving faster than light whilst to a distant Observer the bubble appears to be moving faster than light [Music] [Music] it is a well-known and easily observed fact that moving means trading time for space speed is distance space per interval time at greater speed by necessity involves more space being covered in the same or less time special relativity tells us When approaching the speed of light the distance covered per interval increases exponentially time shrinks at an exponential rate as the speed of light is approached to a distant Observer time for an object moving at high speeds appears to have stretched that is undergone dilation so that relatively little time passes for the object when compared to the distance covered the degree of time dilation can be calculated via the Lorenz factor which was named after Hendrick Lorenz likewise for the lorentz force in order to actually exceed the speed of light one cannot simply out race photons instead to move faster than light one must cheat by moving backward through time at such a rate that the apparent travel time is reduced so that to a distant Observer one only appears to have outraced photons for example if one travels to the system known as Sigma draconis some 18.77 light years distance at 99 percent the speed of light one would experience only a few months whilst nearly 19 years would have passed on Earth now if on returning one jump back in time the total time traveled there and back minus a few months the elapsed time would appear to be the same for both The Traveler and those on Earth this is why all faster than light travel is inherently time travel [Music] [Applause] so why do we need faster than light propulsion well firstly traveling beyond our solar system at speeds slower than the speed of light requires an unjustifiable amount of time to arrive anywhere secondly this type of space flight is very dangerous and calls into question the success of each and every flight to give a sense of scale of the beginning of true outer space the nearest star system Proxima Centauri is 4.246 Light Years distance or about 269 000 times the distance from Earth to the Sun for comparison Pluto is only 40 times as far from the Sun as Earth our galaxy The Milky Way is over one hundred thousand light years across that's more than 23 000 times the distance to Proxima Centauri or over 154 million times the distance from Sun to Pluto this is the scale of true outer space Galactic space [Music] faster than light travel will permit Mass off-world immigration in a way interplanetary travel cannot especially since we lack any other habitable planets in the Solar System and terraforming is likely to be a century or two long project therefore a faster than light travel will help ensure Humanity's long-term Survival by spreading the human species to multiple planets in multiple star systems as the saying goes and don't put all your eggs in one basket rocket and rocket-like propulsion is Not Practical or even possible for manned Interstellar flights travel into Galactic space and immigrating to other habitable worlds is therefore impossible that is by means of rocket propulsion laser propulsion or by any other rocket-like propulsion Technologies now field propulsion drawing energy and propellant from the Limitless Quantum vacuum field is the only way that we will conquer space the only way for manned flights transstellar migration to be possible FTL travel is the only practical way to travel into real outer space beyond the nearest few stars and into Galactic space human beings and human life will never travel or migrate in any form beyond the nearest few neighboring stars and probably not even for the nearest star that is unless we develop and master travel at speeds many times that of light FTL travel will enable terrestrial human beings to reach foreign star systems for the first time in history in turn this will permit human beings to immigrate to hospitable foreign worlds and also to meet other intelligent life and civilizations overall many discoveries and insights will be made many of which we cannot currently imagine that will immeasurably improve the standard of living for all human beings [Music] in this section we will discuss the fundamentals of understanding how one might achieve faster than light propulsion and thus travel but not how it's possible how it's possible has been and will be covered in more specialized videos the first thing one might ask what is the difference between a warp drive a jump drive and Wormhole travel so let's break that down a warp drive in simplest terms is a propulsion system that works by creating a field that completely screens away all external influences permitting travel at very high and even faster than light speeds without time shifts the warp drive was first described in mathematical terms by Miguel alcudiere in 1994. the warp drive requires a kind of negative energy this was demonstrated in Al capiere's original paper and has been confirmed and reconfirmed by different mathematical approaches by Sergey krasenov in 1995 a year after Al kabir's paper and again by Alex bobbrick and Gianni matt3 in 2019 and 2020 respectfully yes I've likely butchered those names to elaborate a bob brick and math 3 showed that a slower than light warp drive was possible with ordinary positive Energies but also that this is impossible for faster than light warp drives while work by Jose nataro and Chris venden broick and others such as Harold white refine the mathematics and reduce the energy required a negative energy is still a fundamental requirement a jump drive is an instantaneous Drive which is simply The Logical conclusion of a warp drive a tachyonic warp drive foreign [Music] way a member of the xenon-1t dark matter and neutrino research project a respectable and very much mainstream International project based out of grand Sasso National Laboratory in Italy published a paper with the title of comment on fractional quantum mechanics and fractional Schrodinger equation in his paper Wade points out that the conventional schrodiger equation is flawed in correcting it he has discovered something that is shocking to many and yet also cause for celebration for others you see a particle undergoing very high acceleration should be able to move discontinuously and even faster than light in a future more detailed video we will explain the physics behind this way noted that this is cause for much controversy suggesting an experiment be carried out to confirm or disprove this once and for all and separately and we have to attack emotion whom we've covered before in a video called Moshe jump drive Musha described how with violent acceleration a particle could tunnel past the lightspeed barrier think about it this way if you try to force a charge against a like charged field the energy required to maintain a constant acceleration grows exponentially as the charge approaches The Field's source if the charges acceleration is great enough it will tunnel across the electric field and to the other side the speed of light can act similarly with exponential growing energy required to maintain a constant acceleration this is true from all reference frames as acceleration is constant or invariant from all perspectives that is across all reference frames lastly we have our own in progress work some of it you've already heard to begin with we note that a fully tachyonic warp drive is identical to a jump drive tachyon's accelerate exponentially with decreasing energy and experience the speed of light as a lower speed limit therefore a warp drive generated by tachyons Will accelerate instantaneously to an extremely high speed the next crucial part which will also help Musha and Waze work as the addition of a Time quantum there is already a scientific consensus that time is probably quantitized the specific value of this Quantum the smallest possible unit of time has yet to be conclusively determined however we are currently in the process of writing a paper which presents what may be the actual value of the time quantum as well as proposed experiment that could test the validity of this value watch this space for updates on our own progress and in the meantime check out our website for further information and updates [Music] thank you foreign hole is a tunnel of space-time a kind of Vortex that connects distant parts of space or different time planes the distance Through the Wormhole is much shorter than outside of it which permits faster than light or even inter-universal travel to summarize overall a jump drive is superior to a conventional warp drive it has a much lower energy requirement energy per distance and eliminates any risk of collision or radiation buildup thus it can more easily travel greater distances but jump drives also require energy to be delivered very quickly a high power requirement relatively low energy requirement in comparison warp drives can function just fine for slower than light STL travel reducing the effective mass and eliminating unwanted time shifts more precisely with a warp field the speed of a Starship is equal to or greater than its apparent speed if unscreened for example a 70 percent the speed of light without a warp drive would become nearly the speed of light with a warp drive for these reasons it would be best to use a conventional warp drive alongside a jump drive wormholes require much more energy than either jump drives or conventional warp drives however they can Bridge the greatest distances for probably less energy than any other method of transportation and are the only way to achieve theoretical inter-universal travel sublight wormholes Waltz a topic on their own have many applications for in system and even interplanetary transport without long travel times at least once we can make them you may think that designing a non-instantaneous slower traveling warp drive would use less energy let's consider that for a moment a non-instantaneous faster than light drive would have to maintain a strong space-time warp of some sort for a relatively long duration not to mention the extreme danger posed by prolonged exposure and buildup of intense and exotic radiation produced by such in comparison a jump drive only needs to maintain a strong space-time warp for a single instant it's also important to note that an instant jump completely eliminates all risk of collision when we speak of a Quantum of negative energy we are speaking of a unit of energy whose behavior is backwards with respect to what we ordinarily expect for negative energies like charges attract and speed increases with decreasing energy in the context of faster than light propulsion the negative energy in question is almost always faster than light particles tachyons for tachyons the speed of light is a lower limit and a zero energy tachyon has an infinite speed tachyons exist in a parallel negative space-time where space becomes Time and Time becomes space this is the same space entered by a warp drive upon exceeding the speed of light I say that again this is the same space entered by a warp drive upon exceeding the speed of light [Music] even the most efficient theoretical configuration of a warp drive still requires immense amounts of energy even to activate maintaining it over a long duration or more realistically accumulating and then discharging sufficient energy for a single leap will require even more energy the only way we can and actually Supply this kind of energy is by tapping into the quantum vacuum a propulsion system that can do this is called a Quantum Ramjet or qrj if you prefer first proposed mathematically by David H fraunting in 1980. in Quantum field Theory the quantum vacuum State also called the quantum vacuum or vacuum state is the Quantum state with the lowest possible energy generally it contains no physical particles the word zero point field is sometimes used as an acronym for the vacuum state of a quantized field which is completely individual according to present day understanding of what is called the vacuum state or the quantum vacuum It Is by no means a simple empty space [Music] according to Quantum Mechanics the vacuum state is not truly empty but instead contains fleeting electromagnetic waves and particles that pop into and out of the quantum field a simplistic calculation by the famed Professor Richard Feynman gave an energy density for the quantum vacuum such that the amount of energy available in a light bulb is sufficient to boil the entirety of Earth's oceans a more comprehensive calculation by John Wheeler gave a figure over 70 orders magnitude larger a single cubic centimeter of vacuum would boil all of Earth's ocean several times over this means essentially we can tap the latent energies of space itself in order to supply all the energy we would ever need for our Starships and for all of humanity itself it's effectively Unlimited extracting this energy isn't a far-off dream or fantasy the Chinese station of extreme light set to begin operation sometime in the next few years will rip apart empty space to produce real particles it is absolutely possible to extract energy from the quantum vacuum [Music] this section covers how faster than light FTL Starships would work in practice broken down into steps one a reaction Drive such as a fusion Drive is used to accelerate the Starship to the point that the quantum Ram Jet the qrj is able to become effective and provide a large thrust [Music] two the quantum Ramjet is then used to accelerate at an exponential increasing rate until the speed of light is reached three upon reaching the speed of light the qrj becomes attackion drive as it is now dealing with energies that are superluminal in nature tachyonic energies respectfully tachyons the acceleration of the Starship crosses the desired distance in a single Quantum of time cronon therefore the entire ship becomes a tachyon and it breaches hyperspace 3A note that anything existing for less than one Quantum cronon must be a tachyon well it's anything that exists for more than one cronon must not be a tachyon this is a simple consequence of the quantization of time 3B therefore you can go faster than light by accelerating so quick that you reach your destination in a single cronon by which you are converted into a tachyon four how do we accelerate and decelerate in the above manner without the immense pressures g-forces tearing our bodies and the Starship itself apart 4A the tachyonic warp shell or Shield gives rise to an interblock which is a self-contained packet of space-time a miniature Universe therefore the passengers on the ship will not experience any acceleration pressures g-forces nor be influenced by any other external forces or factors in fact they will be as comfortable as they would be on the surface of the Earth for B note that with an integer block it would be easy and efficient to create an internal acceleration mimicking the gravitational attraction of Earth or another planet by means of a simple adjustment of the warp Fields geometry five no tachyon can exist for more than a single cronon after half a cronon has passed since the speed of light was breached space-time will automatically begin acting on the interblock to decelerate it so that by the time one cronon has elapsed the ship has once again slowed down to the speed of light six as an inverse of the Second Step the quantum Ram Jet is used to decelerate back down to a speed slow enough that it is no longer capable of sustaining High thrust seven a reaction Drive is used to bring the ship to a full stop or to enter orbit of a planet [Music] [Music] all methods of propulsion work by the principle of reaction or repulsion simply put any action has an equal and opposite reaction this applies to all forms of propulsion from your feet to oars to jet engines to Rocket engines even a Field Drive which acts directly on the quantum vacuum fluctuations ordinarily the reaction force stops at the surface of the drive in direct or indirect contact with the reaction mass or field for these surfaces and the surfaces only all acceleration pressures are completely negated vacuum fluctuations are completely penetrating and unhindered by even the densest kinds of matter so if we act on them directly the reaction force is free to spread out as a field and thereby act on the entire vehicle that is within range the whole vehicle therefore accelerates as a single perfect coherent block with the vehicle's structure and the vehicle's occupants completely unaffected by any acceleration pressures well I hope this video has given you a deeper level of understanding of the subject of faster than light travel and of course as always keep wondering about space thank you
