The Fastest Thing Ever And 9 Other Rare Objects

[Music] five runners take their positions four on the tracks are ten fastest objects created by humans three fans are worried complete silence at the stadium - who will be the winner one the fastest human-made object ever built go in tenth place we have a missile or rather air force hypersonic Rockets left this is a special mechanism on Rails with a rocket engine created to test rockets and other space objects its top speed is just shy of 6600 miles per hour this rocket sled is so fast you won't see it if you blink a 10 miles long test track the longest of its kind was built specifically for this sled far ahead the NASA x-43a or hyper X unmanned supersonic flying vehicle is in ninth place this bird flies at a speed of 6,800 miles per hour which is eight point two times the speed of sound however it lags behind its closest rival by almost two and a half times eighth place is sheer between two sisters space shuttles Columbia and discovery by the way Columbia was the first successful reusable ship in the history of space exploration to stay in orbit these shuttles had to reach a speed of 17,500 miles per hour by the way this necessary speed for stable orbiting applies to all shuttles at this speed the crew could watch the Sun Rise every 45 minutes both shuttles successfully completed more than 50 space missions and we rise higher and higher from the earth and what do we see here this participant is confidently taking the seventh place this is Apollo 10 the spacecraft that NASA used for rehearsal of the moon landing when returning to Earth from the lunar orbit in 1969 gravity accelerated Apollo 10 to a velocity of nearly 25,000 miles per hour at the altitude of 400,000 feet the Guinness world record states that Apollo 10 holds the record for the fastest a human has ever traveled however the Apollo 10 mission report states the maximum speed and entry was twenty four thousand eight hundred sixteen miles per hour in sixth place far in outer space the Stardust space probe floods in 1999 NASA sent this probe to collect samples from the Comet wild 2 and it brought these samples to earth already in 2006 in space it developed its maximum speed of 28,000 860 miles per hour seven years is not so bad for a delivery service given that the probe flew 2.8 billion miles it's like a round-trip from the earth to the Sun 14 times now we're near the dwarf planet Pluto yes recently this baby was excluded from the list of planets of the solar system around which NASA's new Horizons of automatic interplanetary station fly's ranking fifth on our list it's not even a ship but a station which during its mission has developed a maximum speed of 36,000 400 miles per hour in 2006 NASA sent New Horizons to study Pluto and for 13 years this poor station was just flying and studying the lonely and cold dwarf planet but in January 2019 it flew to study the nearest asteroid which according to conspiracy theories was a real UFO but that's another story the 4th place goes to Voyager 1 this spacecraft was launched to study the furthest part of the solar system back in 1977 and in 2013 it entered interstellar space at a speed of 38,000 miles per hour Voyager 1 covers a distance of about 335 million miles each year in 2020 it will reach nearly 14 billion miles from us which makes it the most distant object from the earth made by humans it plans to complete its mission in 2025 although a Voyager 1 is not the champion of our race it can rightfully be considered the most enduring participant third place goes to the Galileo spacecraft engineered and launched by NASA in 1989 to study the atmosphere of Jupiter Galileo's 14 year mission ended in 2003 when the spacecraft was deliberately sent into Jupiter's atmosphere before crashing it managed to develop a speed of 108 miles per hour at that speed one could drive around the earth at the equator in 14 minutes assuming there were bridges across all the oceans or to the moon and back in only five hours the second place is shared by two space probes helios one and helios two go figure the first develop a speed of 147 900 miles per hour and the second 150 3,500 miles per hour both devices were launched in the 1970s by NASA and are currently in the sun's orbit both send information about solar dust solar storms plasma and other hot stuff to earth and the champion of our competition is Parker's Solar pro like Helios it studies the Sun but it flies at an incredible speed of 200 13,000 200 miles per hour in October 2018 it set the record at a close distance to the Sun with each lap in its orbit the Parker accelerates and is estimated to reach the speed of four hundred thirty thousand miles per hour by 2024 in general as you understand the closer to the stars the faster okay let's lose the track announcer guy for now see you next time yeah yeah yeah since we found ourselves in the vast expanses of space it seems like a good idea to learn what the fastest object in the universe is and then you'll find out all about the speed that cannot be overcome in 2014 astronomers from the harvard-smithsonian Center for Astrophysics recorded the highest speed in the universe and no this is not a you fo but a piece of plasma that flew out of a black hole according to the calculations this plasma moves in a spiral and forms a cone at a speed of nearly 6 million miles per hour fortunately this incredible force flies far from us in another galaxy 50 million light years away and 1 light year is well I won't bore you with such a huge number of zeros simply put the distance you cover within one year at the speed of light is one Lightyear and the speed of light is about 186,000 miles per second you do the math so this is the speed limit for everything in the universe and what is most interesting no object that has mass according to the laws of physics can move at such a speed particles of light or photons do not have mass so they are the only things that can photons only need 8 minutes and 20 seconds to reach our planet from the Sun but let's imagine hmm that humanity someday creates a ship that can accelerate to the speed of light believe me this will be the most incredible experience of mankind I invite you on board we start the engines are you ready we pick up speed achieve the speed of light the ship falls to pieces in a couple of seconds the fact is that at such a speed even several hydrogen atoms will crash with such force that it would form a dose of radiation tens of thousands of times stronger than a person could withstand a ship Armour which could withstand such a strong impact of radiation hasn't yet been invented okay attempt number two now our ship is equipped with a force field and nothing can destroy it here we are gaining speed again we reach the light limit and overcome it by just four thousandths of a mile per second at this moment something unbelievable happens the law of cause and effect is violated first goes the cause and then the effect in simple terms this means that you should first become hungry and then eat a burger it can't be that you eat a burger and then you get hungry but on our ship it can imagine that having overcome the speed of light we are catching up with the photons that our Sun let out eight minutes ago our speed increases and we outrace the photons from yesterday than a week ago than a month than a year in fact we are flying through the passage of time into the past when we approach the speed of light time on our ships slows down and when we overcome it time goes backward but this is not even the worst according to the theory of relativity the faster the speed the more mass of the object increases and its size decreases our ship will become infinitely heavy and infinitely small do you know what happens when any object begins to endlessly become heavy ding ding black hole a huge black we'll begin to absorb everything around and increase indefinitely it doesn't sound very good but we just wanted to fly even if humanity invents a way to travel at such speeds we won't need it we will learn to overcome space rather with the help of portals for rabbit holes thanks to which we can find ourselves anywhere in the universe in a split second ooh blows my mind how about you hey if you learn something new today then give the video a like and share it with a fred and here are some other cool videos I think you'll enjoy just click to the left or right and remember stay on the bright side of life
