You can think much faster than light already. To prove it, think about our Sun warming the Earth. Now think about the Andromeda Galaxy, as seen through a telescope. You did both of those things in an instant, but sunlight takes over 8 minutes to reach the Earth, and light from Andromeda takes about 2.5 million years to travel to our telescopes.

8/9. I could have gotten 9/9 but, although I knew the answer you wanted, I disagreed with it and a more accurate answer was available. But that's the wonderful thing about science, we don't always have to agree on everything. Often our disagreements can open the doors to new understanding and new advancements, for one of us, for both of us or - in some cases - for all of us.

@@RWBHere The trick is determining what is occurring in the moment. Sure, it's easy to determine that the sun is still shining this very moment. It's not difficult to make an inference from something as recent as 8 minutes ago. But let us not consider Andromeda, but use something much closer as a reference. Imagine a star in our own galaxy. It is 50,000 ly away. We see it clearly with WEBB. The star is an unstable red giant. Is it still there? Is it still a red giant? Is it a white or brown dwarf? What is happening to that star, right now? Now consider Andromeda, a galaxy 50 times further away that that star. What is going on there?

You could argue that it should represent a single "way" of learning but that point it's completely useless subjectivity and there is no "right" or "wrong" answer and it's just a classification problem. Equally however you could argue that a rambling is just a sub-set of the super-set of "passion inspired tangent from a professor" which can include other sub-sets and as a result wouldn't just be an acceptable plural but a demanded plural.

I just asked ChatGPT to write a limerick about travelling faster than light and time travel. I like yours better!: There once was a physicist quite bright, Who dreamed of a journey through light. With a machine that could time travel too, He set off on an adventure anew. He broke the light barrier with ease, Zipped through the cosmos with such great sleaze. But when he arrived at his destination, He found himself in an odd situation. His time machine had worked too well, And sent him back to a time he couldn't tell. He realized with a start and a fright, That he was stuck in a time-loop of light. So, if you ever think to travel so fast, And attempt to journey through the past, Just remember this limerick quite well, Or you might end up trapped in a time-cell.

To me it seems like if supersonic aircraft don't break causality faster than light space ships also shouldn't. But of course I don't have any formal education on relativity so I always assumed I just wouldn't understand the reasoning without the mathematical groundwork behind it. (tbf I still don't understand why some scientists believe FTL would break causality))

Just a small correction: as v approaches c, it’s the total energy that tends to infinity, not the mass, as we abandoned the idea of relativistic mass some time ago. The total energy of course just being the kinetic energy plus the energy from the mass (E=mc^2).

Imaginary energy let's go

So we just try to tunnel each of our atoms to FTL until we manage to do that for all of our 10^28 atoms and then try to sync up all of them travelling with different headstarts so they end up in a human shape again? Sounds like a plan

So do you end up in a parallel dimension after tunnelling through the singularity?

@@supercal333 I don't think so, your probably still passing through our space-time but the laws are different.. For example just the other side of the barrier if you shed energy you actually go faster!.. Sort of like star Trek subspace!

Time is meaningless at the speed of light. The very idea of time passing does not even make sense at the speed of light.

Isn't distance also meaningless?

I think so... Time dilation really messes with my brain lmao

As Zalemones1 said, time is meaningless at that point. The misconception comes from the maths which suggests that as speed approaches c the length contraction approaches the point where distance is 0 and so the journey is instant. But that doesn't mean it actually is 0 at c, at that point the equation is no longer valid in the same way 1/x has no value when x=0.

Exactly! Something travelling near the speed of light can cross the known universe almost instantaneously, from their point of view.

Sort of like how we used to think that heavier than air flight was practically impossible and that birds and insects had some magic or animal science we wouldn’t get. We figured it out for sure, but in a unique way. I suppose the problem is we’ve got 0 examples that this rule can be broken so we think it’s impossible but who’d have guessed we could see inside people’s body’s with x-rays and brains with MRIs before it was discovered.

Certainly to us sub light speed observers, but from its view it travels to Andromeda and back, millions of light years, in no time! It orbits black holes and nucleons and can pop out photons when either are disturbed, or capture or absorb them when a photon gets too close?!

@@dylanwight5764 actually not sure if it does... if you move towards a lightsource at exactly the speed of light, the wavelenth will be squished to 0, which leads to photons with infinite energy... but if you are OVER the speed of light, the wave should just be inverted right? if i turned the light on and off making pauses of: 1sec 2 sec 3sec and 4sec at some exact "over lightspeed"-speed you would recieve: 4sec 3sec 2sec 1sec pauses. in the same way the interval between wave peaks should change from 1ns below lightspeed, 0ns at lightspeed, to 1ns again just in the oposite direction for over lightspeed.

Don't carry the head for all this. With the bulk unexplored, the space expanding. Have nowhere to go travelling FTL or even supersonically. Metaphysics appears, delusively perhaps, more real. "The manifest universe is a mental construction". Existence - Consciousness is the fundamental reality, all else is dependent reality; appearances in Consciousness. It is that which underlies and pervades wakefulness, dream and deep sleep (and like states of experience of absence).

Officer, I wasn't speeding. I was attempting to reduce my speed relative to the universe.

I think that closed loops can exist, you can even imagine some "universe" that lives in such a closed loop.

This is all half-cooked theory, built up from isolated models. Ironically she's using these to argue against the half-cooked nature of SM+QM

They don't eliminate the closed loop. They make it reasonable to say there wouldn't be one. The closed loop itself is merely a reasonable conclusion to draw from special relativity, so that's the standard of argument she's aiming to meet.

I'm not at all educated in physics, so apologies for any mistakes, and take this with a grain of salt... but here's how I've heard it explained: According to Theory of Relativity, if events A and B are causally disconnected, they don't have a "true" order. Depending on your frame of reference, A may occur before B, or B before A, or they may occur simultaneously. Whether or not events are causally connected depends on the distance between them and the speed of light. For example, if you see two buttons, that are 1 light second apart, and then you see them pressed simultaneously, then they are causally disconnected, and depending on your frame of reference the order in which the buttons are pressed can change. On the other hand, if you see those same buttons, one is pressed, then several seconds pass, and another is pressed, then they *are* causally connected, because light managed to cross the distance from one button to the other in the time between the presses. So now the order the buttons were pressed in is certain and independent from your frame of reference. This behaviour may seem weird, but it doesn't actually cause any problems or paradoxes. If you get into your spaceship and fly from point A to point B, your departure and your arrival are two causally connected events (because you travel at sub-light speed), and so have a definite order. But what happens if you make an FTL jump from A to B? Well, now your departure and your arrival are completely causally disconnected! And in certain frames of reference, arrival *occurs before departure*. Look what can happen now: - Make the jump A --> B - You are currently in the frame of reference where departure occured before arrival (as it should) - Engage your ship's thrusters and accelerate until you are in the frame of reference, where departure hasn't occured yet - Make the jump B --> A - You traveled back in time and broke causality! Crucial point is that breaking causality requires *two* FTL jumps in *different reference frames*. So, could there be some (purely hypothetical) mechanism that would allow FTL, but prevent paradoxes? Yes! There simply must exist a special frame of reference, and all FTL travel must only be possible in this special frame of reference. This special frame could be whatever, but for the purposes of this thought experiment we can pick the Co-Moving Frame (CMF), because it is easier to visualize and is already somewhat "special" (as mentioned in the video). Look what happens now: - Accelerate until your frame of reference matches CMF - Make the jump A --> B - Engage your ship's thrusters and accelerate until you are in the frame of reference, where departure hasn't occured yet (weird, but no paradoxes yet...) - Make the jump B --> A... but wait! You can't make this jump, since in the previous step you left the CMF! - Match the CMF again - Make the jump B --> A. - Since both jumps occured in the same frame of reference, causality is preserved! This is my understanding. You can search "fixed frame FTL" for some more info. see also this FAQ on Relativity which touches on this topic at the very end www.physicsguy.com/ftl/html/FTL_intro.html

I don't think it has anything to do with GR TBH. Rather if you can guarantee that everyone can only move in such a way that everyone's arrow of time always moves in the same direction, then you can zip around faster than light - but still not infinitely fast! - without causing paradoxes. How can you guarantee that while lifting the c limit? Basically you'd have to hypothesize that there is something akin to subspace or hyperspace, that it indeed absolute, and that it is the only medium through which an FTL mechanism could work. Could this actually be true? Well it certainly can't be ruled out. Let's say we did make a warp drive. That would cause spacetime itself to bend and move. The stress energy tensor in GR is Lorentz invariant (meaning everyone agrees on the geometry of spacetime and thus the strength of gravity no matter how fast they're moving). Perhaps that means that all warp drives would indeed be riding waves in the same fixed and absolute medium and thus no paradoxes would be possible. But critically, again, this speed would still be limited - not by a single arbitrary number but by how fast an external observer is moving relative to "subspace". This limit is c^2/v where v is your velocity relative to the absolute frame. Specifically, instantaneous movement in any frame appears to an observer moving at v relative to that frame as c^2/v. So if we assume infinity is the speed limit of subspace, then on earth that speed would equate to roughly 1000c (if we're moving 300kps). Any faster perceived speed would indeed require the traveller to be going back in time in the frame of subspace. This means Voyager's trip home from the Delta Quadrant could've seemed instantaneous to the crew but 70 years would've passed on earth. In other words you can't fully escape time dilation but now it would depend on how fast the third party is moving relative to subspace rather than how fast the ship is going relative to the observer.

Maybe it was a beam of light. Light travels much faster than any aircraft, and is completely silent. It may have looked 20 meters wide to you, but you had no way of actually measuring it, did you? It could have been 2 millimeters wide but very close to you eye or it could have been 2000 kilometers wide but very far away, The one thing we know for sure is that it wasn't an alien spacecraft, because if it was they would have abducted you and you'd be famous now.

Yes this got somewhere very new! But there is no condensation for a scalar potential field! The condensation only happens when the field can form a sufficient density of sufficiently similar structures within that field: Higgs bosons or something even more simple, arranging themselves as a single entity of space-time. Or four space-times really, but three of them flow superluminally within ours - so I guess they are light invisible but gravity visible. Can information be harvested somehow about superluminal structures? Is there a before and after to us for superluminal structures, when they have an ortogonal time within them compared to the time within our structures?

So that's how I end up with an odd number when I always buy them in pairs!

If you understood her reasoning for thinking things work that way, you'd understand that she's spouting nonsense.

I liked that too, though it wasn't quite correct. Hope this won't spoil the anaology as it's generally a good one, but here goes.... If you observe an area of grass or plants that has an object above it, a tree, a roof or whatever, on a morning with dew, you'll notice an absence in that area. This is a clue as to how dew actually forms. When air cools down so much that it can no longer hold all the water vapour, it condenses into mist but mist is not necessary for dew to form. What happens is that opaque media (in this case grass) radiate heat away faster than transparent media (the air). So, grass exposed to the sky loses heat faster than the air around it. During a windless night, all solid surfaces become colder than the surrounding air. The surrounding air may still be warm enough to hold the water vapour but not once it comes into contact with these surfaces. So, the water condenses on these surfaces. Any opaque objects between the grass and the sky prevent the radiated heat escaping into space, so here, the grass loses less heat and may remain dry.

Agreed, but I think her analogy might make better case for ether rather than the higgs theory.

Yeah this sounds kinda crazy

Can you imagine a world only filled with plasma and energy? No protons, no neutrons, just quarks or even less "condensed" things? Because all the energy makes it so hot, that high level structures cease to exist? Think about it!

@@tylermacdonald8924 because it is, the binding energy of matter is actually negative, it was released when the matter was bound together into matter (at least for all non-transuranic stable matter) Now it's just negative potential energy. eg: it takes a huge amount of energy to unbind matter into it's constituent subatomic particles and even more energy to separate it into even smaller quantum particles like the higgs. That negative potential energy actually DECREASES the mass of matter, it doesn't create it, it's called the "mass defect". And honestly it seems like she switched the sign somewhere because if you plug that into the force equation, it takes more energy to accelerate to the speed of light, not less.

That, and she is completely wrong.

@@garytyme9384 Enlighten us then🙄

@@rekik2936 Light does not have a speed, it has a rate of induction i.e., hysteresis of the medium. Take Red Shift as an example of Hysteresis of the medium.

@@garytyme9384 Dude, even if you believe that you can't just say she's wrong- Light having speed is so widely believed by people and scientists that you can't simply say everybody is incorrect without an extremely extremely good argument with paragraphs of wording and elaboration and good papers with variety to back the claims. We have far more reason to believe that light has speed than we do to believe it doesn't. For example- If light is simply inducted, than why do we get afterimages? Afterimages are produced because light from where something was and is hits your eyes at the same time, causing an effect of seeing an afterimage, but if we simply induct light, then we'd not see afterimages and instead we'd see everything perfectly as it moves.

​@@neurotic3015 Oh dear. I am chatting to a moron. Actually, you see the attribution of light i.e., illumination, and even then you are seeing the reflection of that illumination of the surface of the object you are looking at i.e., the illumination the object did no absorb. Hence, the after effect you are talking about is to do with the over stimulation of the eye. An afterimage is an image that continues to appear in the eyes after a period of exposure to the original image. These can be either negative or positive afterimages. In most cases, this is an eye-related phenomenon, although there are some cases in which it is related to an issue called palinopsia. Negative afterimages occur when the rods and cones, which are part of the retina, are overstimulated and become desensitized. This desensitization is strongest for cells viewing the brightest part of the image, but is weakest for those viewing the darkest. When you look away, the least depleted cells react strongest, and vice versa, and you see an image with colours that are the reverse of how the image originally appeared. Many optical illusions take advantage of negative afterimages. For example, if you stare at a yellow, green, and black American flag for 60 seconds, then look at a white background, you will see the flag with its correct colours. A positive afterimage is when you see the image, but it is the same colours as the original. Unlike with negative afterimages, it is believed positive afterimages are caused when your rods and cones have no stimulation, such as when the illumination abruptly go out. BTW: Answer me this Einstein - without breaking the law of conservation of energy. If illumination has a speed then explain how illumination returns to the same rate of "speed" after it exits glass or water? Bet you can't, lol,.. well not unless you factor in the hysteresis of the medium and illumination not being a particle, wave, or wave-particle duality. I say this as Nature does not work the way the mathematicians have tried to convince you of. I bet next you will say the quantum realm is a real thing and pigs can fly.

16:37... Isn't her time diagram flawed anyway? She shows the first traveler flying on a negative slope. For that to happen they would have to travel faster than infinity... right? I mean, infinite speed (instantaneous) speed would be a line parallel with the X axis. Or do I have that wrong? If that is correct then the information would get to the other ship in zero time... then that ship would bring the info back in zero time. Meaning it wouldn't arrive in the past but at the same time you sent it... assuming there is no transmission delay.

@@101perspective From an outside observer's perspective the speed is not infinite, the speed is actually the same as the speed of light when the line is parallel with the X axis. So the one in the ship flying at that speed will feel like zero time has past until they arrive at the other ship, while for the other ship it took as much time for the ship to arrive as normal light would travelling that distance.

I must've missed the humor 🤔

God has a sense of humor too. As we understand more of the physical universe, especially quantum physics, we also begin to understand the spiritual universe. This journey is however within ourselves. Our understanding that everything in the universe is conscious is a relatively recent development. As spiritual beings, we are made of energy. We can manipulate and control energy and matter. For example, without moving, think about raising your right hand. Now do it. It was your THOUGHT that made your hand move. You manipulated the physical with a thought! Likewise, the ability of remote viewing or astral travel can take you anywhere in the universe instantly. We are merely individual viewpoints of the universal consciousness. We are entangled with everything. Warp speed (faster than light) can occur because we think it. We simply must be practiced at moving scalar particles to manipulate the fabric of space to create a gravity well in front of the ship. Try this method the next time you go on a long drive. Spot a spot in front of the vehicle. Just pick a spot up ahead and then bring it in to your body. Repeat this process throughout the trip. This simple manipulation will reduce the amount of time to your destination (without speeding). We can not understand the physical universe until we first understand that we are the ones who create it.

I think the whole time travel thing is stupid, the only difference if the information came to us faster than light is less lag, it does not mean the information at the origin source changed in any way, and it doesn't allow you to act on the origin either.

​@@viperswhip Neither you nor Dustin are making sense.

@@viperswhip Not only is time travel nonsense , but every one of Einstein's theories is also nonsense, as well as quantum physics. its all BS. Most of cosmology is also BS. There is more BS on the list, but that enough for now.

I often get the impression that being, feeling or appearing smart is mostly about cutting through all the bullshit others put around things to make them look difficult - so it's more about perseverance than genetics.

@ This is a really excellent approach. Never change! :)

@@SevenTheMisgiven Thanks ❤️

Above my pay grade too. Either I was not born with enough of the right brain cells, or fed them the wrong foods, or else I slept through class the day these principles were discussed ... but I still find your lectures very interesting.

W rizz OG. Shoot ur shot like Devin Booker.

Bob gets on a train going 200km/hr ....make that 20km/hr if ur in the US. OUCH. Felt that burn all the way in Florida and down here we're USED to sunburn.

It's mainly, I think, because physicists are convinced paradoxes are impossible. Cause and effect has to hold. On the other hand, there's various math that shows any quantum-level closed-timelike-curve can be solved with a consistent result. I.e., there's always a consistent loop. And I'd think that if one could go back in time, you'd keep "going around the loop" until you settled into a pattern in which everything is consistent, or it would change next time around. There's a sci-fi novel called Thrice Upon a Time (James Hogan) where the protagonist invents a machine that can send info back in time. And it causes sort of paradoxes. And ... yes? So? You receive messages that were never sent. So? It's treated as "this is the experimental reality."

Oh, they get asked alright, but the lecturer can't point at a theory that doesn't exist yet, so they stick with the current and incomplete one. Maybe it would be best to always add the disclaimer "according to our current and known to be incomplete models" to all of these.

It makes less sense than most people realize. As a simple example: E = mc^2 (1 / (1 - (v/c)^2)^0.5 - 1) Assuming that she is correct, the equation for this with values of v greater than c introduces an imaginary number into the equation. This would mean E = iE' where E' would be some finite energy amount. But what does i do here? How can a measurement of energy have an imaginary number in it? Worse than that, E' would be a small negative value as well. So the faster one goes beyond the speed of light, the less "negative energy" it takes assuming a positive mass. What would negative energy be? If E is positive energy, that in turn would require negative (imaginary) mass in order for E to be positive. It sounds nonsensical mathematically when discussing reality. At best, one would need to describe this as something like "using another dimension", assuming that other dimensions exist. Granted, the equation for energy above the speed of light might have a different equation completely. But typically, that is not the case in physics. At best, the equation has some more factors that zero out or some such at one extreme or another. For example, MOND. There are mathematical reasons why most scientists do not buy into unorthodox theories. Mostly, the math falls apart or other well proven theories have a conflict.

@@darlenesmith5690 you may find that simply because math has an imaginary number in it, that does not preclude it’s existence in reality. It is simply a two dimensional numberline with sqrt(1) on one axis and sqrt(-1) on another. You may not be able to hold i apples, but you cant hold pi apples either. But both are a part of the real world.

@@benruniko I think you missed the point. I agree with what you just wrote. Best that we know, infinity never exists in nature either, but it does show up in equations. Think of it this way. The energy for low velocities is low. The energy for high velocities near the speed of light is really high, but still finite. The energy for velocity at the speed of light is infinite (hence, not achievable). The energy for velocity beyond the speed of light is negative and/or imaginary, and/or the mass is negative and/or imaginary. The equation tells us that. How can these be negative, let alone imaginary, and how can the energy decrease the faster one goes? Another way of saying this is that the energy for velocity beyond the speed of light is undefined and a bit nonsensical. No known or even theorized energy or mass has those properties. The final value of E has to be a type of energy. Let me put it another way. When Voyager 2 went to the outer planets, scientists at the time thought that Neptune did not get enough heat radiation from the Sun in order to have any type of wind. It turns out that Neptune has the fastest winds in the solar system at about 1000 MPH. It took scientists nearly a decade to figure out how that was happening. My point? Whenever scientists guess at what is possible without solid facts to back it up, they are usually wrong. Nearly 100% of the time unless there is previous proven (relatively speaking) science that will practically force a given prediction. Science is based on observations, not guessing. The theory here is not based on observations, it is based on a series of unrelated ideas. In this video, she is throwing darts at a dart board in the dark where not only the distance and direction to the dart board is not known, but whether the dart board exists at all is not known.

But it wasn't clear at all. Still seems like a reintroduction of the same concept, wrapped in enough sophistry to get past the physics consensus that it's an outdated wrong idea.

@@johndododoe1411well I'm just happy that somebody at least talked about it 😔 I'm not physicist so I'm no one to disagree with any ideas these guys come up with

@@johndododoe1411 I've always viewed gravity as Bernhard Riemann did. Would love to figure out how his "sinks" might have worked. Can't say I'm full convinced there's no aether. The Michelson-Morley experiment never looked up. If they did they would have seen an interference pattern. I know that generally is chalked up to time dilation. But has anyone checked if an object in free fall undergoes time dilation, along a gradient, while it's falling, or all at once when it hits the ground?

"If you live in hte US..." hilarious. 😄

Questioning one's beliefs is a rare trait

You are the perfect person to subscribe to brilliant according to her

Light takes time to travel so whatever you see is not happening in real-time but the time taken for the light to travel the given distance to reach you. Some of the stars in the night sky may no longer exist at present even if you can still see them and its because they are a few hundred to thousands of light years away, hence the light from them that reaches us is a few hundred to thousand years behind.

It like flying from Auckland to Sydney, you get there before you leave - time zones!

There is no use for science if it can not solve the issue of distribution of Wealth and Power among the citizens.

Great! You've described an after image 👍 They certainly are neat

For me, the best explanation was imagining teleportation instead of moving. If your information (or even object) appears on the other side the exact same moment as it departed - you can not send it back in time even tho your speed is infinite, thus slower speeds can not cause it too.

agreed, I appreciate Sabine pushing us to the edge of our average Joe knowledge, but the second half of the video really lost me with some of the examples, especially the graphs of Alice and Bob. I'll rewatch it but not very hopeful I'll understand it more.

@@nadamuchu Don't have a good resource readily available but if you want to get a better understanding of the graphs you can look up 'Minkowski diagrams', that's what those are called. I will tell you though that it's pretty much impossible to understand why all the lines move the way they do without understanding the mathematics behind special relativity, which is probably why Sabine didn't give a detailed explanation for that in the first place.

@@nadamuchu Is she thinking *outside the box?*

moral of the story is- while something can travel faster than light, it can't travel faster than time. If you send information at the speed of light to someone on a nearby planet, even if you get immediate response traveling faster than light, you'll receive that response in a future, no matter if it travels faster than light.

@@democratictotalitariansoci1462 Like emails, they may travel at the speed of light, but it may take minutes to receive due to connection speed, or even hours to respond, depending when one reads the emails, or replies in

Where is her math that explains how mass could even reach the speed of light, let alone exceed it?

@@ItsEverythingElse Please watch 5:52 closely again: _"the only way you can move at the speed of light is when your mass is zero"._ And then she explains why the stuff we know as matter might have states with no mass.

I loved when he would say Watch it now! Watch it!
