NASA Designs Near Light Speed Engine That Breaks Laws Of Physics

The planet Earth isn’t going to be habitable forever. If the human race is going to survive, one day we’ll have to pack up our things, and move to another planet. It sounds easy, until you realize the vastness of space, and even how big our solar system is.
No matter where we’re going in space, we need to travel fast, and not just at the speed of light either. We’re talking about ludicrous speed.
But some researchers have designed an impossible engine that violates the laws of physics. And another group of scientists’ are now saying a warp drive is possible. Is NASA really working on this technology, and what does the future hold for space travel?

If it works it doesn’t violate or break the laws of physics, it expands it, and our knowledge of it. The laws of physics is just the human observation and our current understanding of it.
@Ryan Pokorny Both were beautifully said
Thats what breaking and violating the laws of physics means... 😂 it means that it is more than we know
Facts
It's called figure of speech
If it expands our knowledge then how is it a “law”? Wouldnt that make it a theory? Or, a broken law
So in conclusion, NASA doesn't design near light speed engine that breaks laws of physics
Thank you
You saved me 11 minutes of my life
Thanks captain anticlickbait!
Thanks for saving my precious 11 minutes.
I hate these headlines- No engine VIOLATES the laws of physics- Warp requires antimatter and a temporal crystal- Dilithium. Antimatter requires Fusion reactors to make, AND, Dilithium is a cool Idea, but temporal crystals have not been found yet.
A year later and it appears that the EM drive has been pretty handily refuted as a feasible means of generating thrust by experts. However, we also just recently successfully generated energy using FUSION so not all is lost!
The added benefit of fusion power is its fuel. Water is abundantly available in the cosmos.
It doesn't matter what type of propulsion system we invent, even a propulsion that would enable light speed. The problem is the spacecraft itself. Everyone seems to think that space has nothing in it, it's just empty space right? Wrong, space is full of all sorts of debris. Hitting something even the size of a grain of sand at near light speed would completely destroy any space craft we can presently design. And space is full of stuff just floating around and a lot of it is bigger than a grain of sand! And then you're into designing complex shielding systems. Maybe in the far off future?
@@paulrendell8797 yeah which is why we’d need light speed lanes to keep clear of debris or maybe we use the warp kind of travel, compressive space in front and expanding space behind along clear lanes
@@cald1421 I don't even know if any of what you mentioned is even theoretically possible, I have only a basic knowledge of physics. But it all sounds a bit like science fiction to me. One thing is for sure, it won't be happening in our lifetime. And very soon, it appears that AI will make humans redundant. So probably never then? Maybe we should ask chatgpt to design us a warp engine?!!!
@@paulrendell8797 Getting to any high fraction of light speed is probably pretty unlikely anyway. But the interstellar medium - as opposed to the space around the solar system - has very little stuff in it, so it's more like "if unlucky you might hit some microscopic dust" rather than "you're hitting grains of sand." Some studies of this suggest that it's a bit of a problem if you're zipping about with a multi-kilometer wide light sail (big, thin target) but otherwise at about 10% of light speed some relatively light-weight shielding should deal with the sort of obstacles you are likely to encounter. Of course, this does mean you'll need a century or so to get even a fairly nearby star. Some propulsion designs especially those that can be built with a narrow frontal area and no need for big sails or radiators should be able to carry shielding sufficient for 20% to 30% of light speed. Beyond that, well, making advanced material technology and hardened electronics is probably actually easier than making the propulsion system and power sources...
high speeds approaching light might be ok for unmanned probes but risky for astronauts because collisions with even sand size grains

I've come to a conclusion: Nothing "breaks" the laws of physics. It just works on laws we don't know yet. That's why science fiction often becomes science fact.
It also proves why statements like "trust the science" are stupid and dangerous.
@@dalehammers4425 its only stupid if you don't understand science.
Not great wording and also not true. What you're basically saying is that literally _anything_ is possible. There are limits when it comes to physics. There's just no way to exceed those limits. The EM drive is one of those examples. It does "work" but it's useless because its limited. For it to actually fully work to its potential, we'd need to make it infinitely more inefficient. Physics isn't something that just goes "oh hey, ya sure ill make it possible" at the snap of a finger. Another notorious limit is the Hadron collider. Collide too many atoms and/or the wrong ones will create a black hole. Because of us humans, there are limits. If you are god, then the black hole's creaton means nothing, but because we're mortals it means certain extinction of the human race. In conclusion, and to put it less dramatically, anything is possible, though it can mean the extinction of the human race.
@@lacku2677 Science implies scientific method, reasoned scepticism and peer review. That's trusted science.
@@captaindave88 He's just saying we shouldn't take science and scientists as arbiters of truth, because we did that pre-enlightenment with religion, with priests. Digging into the science yourself is encouraged, seeing what scientists are talking about and understanding the intricacies and credibility of it all. Blindly trusting that they are right, and not digging into the empirical evidence, is exactly what we did with religion for hundreds of years. Dale here, I think, is saying we shouldn't do this. And I agree
I love how the stock video of someone doing trig on a board is seen as complex.
I believe and hope that we will see it during our life here on earth.
I do not. I hope that humanity will not develop such powerful technology until it has matured. Modern humanity today simply is not ready for such power. We would destroy everything, and eventually even ourselves for greed and stupidity. Only once we understand our place in this universe can humans handle such technology.
Remember with all these advances and wants, we move farther and farther from our lives now, and as I am starting to see, there are consequences with are forward movement. For you young ones, I remember entering into high school and personal computers we're starting to be made available in schools, I remember the Apple 2 and the Apple 2E and then the macintosh. Back then all this was so exciting and great and very addictive , then I remember when the Internet 1st came round and was made avaliable to the public, good old AOL, 😝😆 So what I'm saying is in such a long time when the time I was born there was my online telephones there was no cell phones heck a pager was a big deal when I was young . I graduated in 1984 and thought none of these things would have a bad effect on society and only good would come of all this matter fact I was confident a 100% of it. Now I look at how the world is and how divided and stubborn everybody has become how harmful Internet and cell phones can be as we are discovering all these new downsides. I wasn't worried about global warming I didn't care I used wasted thru things away right on the side of the highways, it wasn't my problem. All I'm telling you right now is Exactly how I felt back then. All these big changes really came within about 35 years people that's not that long and what how much damage there really yes. At the same time I love the idea of AI and can see many uses. I also worry about how much truly downside there's gonna be from all that. How much of the core soul and humanity are we gonna lose in the next 100 to 500 years. I remember watching terminator and thinking how scary that was but it could never happen not a mine at lifetime. Then I remember I think in the nineties when I Robot came out and I'm like yeah there's no way we'll see that kind of devbut meant, but we're knocking on the door right now. With all these advancements the amount of diseases we have obesity all across the major developed countries how unhealthy people are, I ended up With crowns by the time I turned 20 years old but I've managed it. But what I'm wondering is what more are we gonna have to lose of what I feel is the core of what makes us order to get To that final point before what we hope is good. No I am told that I actually will be alive by the time the planet heats up to the 1.5ﾟ mark. Wow And I have to face that I know my son will probably be around when the global warming hits past the 2ﾟ I wonder what the world's gonna be like when I'm gone then and how much suffering there's really gonna because the turnaround isn't gonna be fast enough any longer from the modeling that they've done. So I'm gonna leave you with this be careful what you wish for and I truly believe there is such a thing as karma and it has a way of finding people. I don't want English it's to be around by the time we actually land people on verse, but what I want to be some of the 1st people to do that absolutely not I don't know why anybody would want to be the 1st to do it when there is a very good chance that none of them will ever make it back To Earth. I would miss the little things that we can enjoy here the sun on our face a cold glass of water for me Mountain Dew a sunrise sunset being able to paddle at Canoe and most of all eat the foods that I enjoy. I'm not ready to give up my movies, Or stop living my life the way that I enjoy now. Adventure is The key purpose to really living a fulfilled life but throwing it away on a barren plan it is not my idea of the Marvel and glory that we had when we made it to the moon and came back. I really do not remember it vecase I was only 6 tears old,lol. Enjoy your family and loved ones and your friends and make the most out of the time you have here because a year goes by like the blank of an eye.
Something my physics professor taught me. The laws of physics are more like guidelines. Depending on environmental properties they can be bent, broken, expanded, and rewriten they aren't necessarily finite. You can't exist in 2 spaces at once; unless your a quantum particle. You can go faster than the speed of light but you can change the speed of light with gravity. Nature itself bends the rules all the time why can't we.
Just kinda blew my mind there
Wait, you can change the velocity of light, not the speed with gravity.
Should word it like this. Quantum particles can exist in multiple places while most normal matter can not. And yes nothing can go faster than the speed of light, how fast it is relative for you doesn’t change this. That’s not bending the laws of physics (because that’s literally impossible) both of these are just more laws that we recently discovered. Not breaking old ones if that makes since (WE CAN BE WRONG AND DISPROVE SOMETHING LATER but that’s not breaking physics, people were just previously ignorant to something) TLDR: the Laws of physics are finite, but what some smart human thought was a law can be found to be kinda off later
So it's like when Newtonian physics explained everything (at the time, pre-1900) until someone found that Mercury's orbit didn't behave as expected according to Newtonian physics. Then Einstein came along and said there's more to the picture. Hence relativity better explained what's going on. But Newton's laws are still laws tho. Newer laws are just like amendments to the existing law book.
@@alexrossouw7702 Very well stated. I like your "amendments" analogy a lot.
The EM drive was confirmed debunked. When the test models were activated, they produced a small amount of heat which led to the materials expanding slightly. When researchers accounted for this effect, there was absolutely zero forces produced by the device.
That explains it. Cheers.
Yes I heard that too. This was about 5 months ago maybe 4. Its a drag for sure but true.
@@onaughto only i can save you
That was crazy.
Beat me to it, though i thought it was debunked because it was getting affected by the earths magnetic field. Either way this is a far cry from light speed even if it worked
Love the video. Glad we're pushing forward to the future. Wrap drive in my lifetime I would love to see it. But not sure if it would happen. I bet be a lot easier to make it happen if the world could put all it differences aside and work together.

Even if they came out with this, only a small few from the science community would benefit, not you or me. Now bullet trains, yeah i will support that,,,
We are just strangers on this planet and our Citizenship is in heaven as what Paul said but on Christ's way not our way.
To Bristen: That’s a Great question. Due to the almost unimaginable distances involved, space is considered to be relatively “empty”. But at anything like the speeds being discussed here, all you’d need is maybe a grain of sand, or maybe something smaller than that. The energy released in a collision would be immeasurable and annihilation would be total. Clearly that’s something that will probably be a completely separate field of study. But we should remember the old adage that if it can’t be conceived of, it’s possible.
People who think this is impossible should remember that we went from depending on the wind to travel the oceans to nuclear engines in less than two hundred yrs
I do agree with this. As far as technology goes, the human race is basically advancing exponentially. I mean your iPhone is over 100 million times more powerful than the Apollo 11 computers.
@@Whoopdido777 Transistors went from being the size of your pinky to the size of a few dozen atoms. That's a lot of transistors.

"It could be that all of this will be a waste of time and money." Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Some times you have to take risks and be wrong because if you try several ideas and one of them actually works, then none of the others were a waste if they led to something that works.
A famous quote from Thomas Edison (the guy who designed the electric light bulb) puts this in perspective. Edison said "I have not failed, I have just found 10,000 ways not to make a light bulb."

There are two mathematically feasible warp drives at the moment, the "Alcubierre drive" and the "Froning drive" problem is both require "exotic matter" with the latter being the best bet.

EM drives were debunked quite some time ago I’m afraid, the minuscule amounts of “impossible” thrust were caused by thermal radiation which isn’t self-sustaining, meaning you’d need fuel/power to continue the effect - defeating the object of the drive.
We've also have had people on Mars since the 80s
@@TheD1rtyNarwhal lol
Warp drive may be possible but not the human body.....
Actually they've eliminated the possibility of thermal radiation causing the detected thrust. However, they think they've identified what it is, it's reacting to the Earths magnetic field. As such, it's of no use for interstellar travel. On the other hand, it could be useful for satellites around a world with a decent magnetic field like Earth. Satellites often end their useful life because of the expenditure of all reaction mass. The EM could possibly eliminate that issue.
@@robertrosenthal7264 even if they've eliminated the possibility of thermal radiation, a drive using thermal radiation would still be useful in space some what. if you could find a way to make it work on solar energy then it should behave somewhat like an ion drive, only no need for fuel. that said you would still probably get little in the way of thrust.
Physics has evolved in the past...it is evolving in the present... it will evolve in the future... man's understanding of nature has no boundaries or fixed laws... thats the beauty of Science... what Science has achieved in the past will lay the foundation to invent and discover more things in the future...

That's crazy, I had the same idea for traveling faster than light speed! since you can't travel faster than light, you have to mess with space and time so as to technically not violate that law, but still get somewhere very quickly. If my guess is correct, then a lot of time should pass between taking off, and landing on a distant planet, only you wouldn't experience it, but the people in the outside reference frame would.
When the title says “breaks the laws of physics”, you already know that no one broke the laws of physics without even watching it. That being said, it’s cool stuff regardless.

Laws of physics are nothing but a bunch of man made “rules” rules that have been broken multiple time
"Ships that travel use fuel. Fuel has limits. Even fuels that are derived from solar energy have limits. Even fuel that is derived from nuclear power has limits. If you go too far, you cannot return. If your exploration takes you too far afield, you cannot return. If you enter an uncharted region, you will face physiological hazards and the possibility of entering another’s territory who could prove to be hostile to your presence. You certainly could become lost in uncharted territories, as many travellers have." - An excerpt from Life in the Universe, Chapter 3: The Limits of Space Travel. Very interesting read.

Remember if we get into high civilization the impossible is possible - scientific everyone is possible in the so far far far future but our god the creation hes thhe only one who an stop us
So, I'm curious . . . does it matter whether a pea-sized piece of rock, zooming along at who knows what speed, hits you - or, does your going near the speed of light and hitting the rock really matter!? We all know how a tiny, fast-moving object can seriously puncture spacecraft and equipment; what would increasing speed accomplish if you run into grain-of-sand particles and have no way to ward off the impact!? I would think engineering efforts would be better suited to protecting what we have, at currently-known speeds, BEFORE going faster - maybe develop some form of forcefield shielding, ala every space movie ever made.
couldnt agree more despite loving the warp idea since about 1967. p
Common sense at work! Makes you wonder about the veracity of space travel. The new nasa mission to the moon that’s going to test the effects of radiation and other things on humans is interesting to. They’re moving as if we’ve never been to the moon. Shielding is an aspect of space travel I’ve never really heard any studies about.
They don't apply this logic to cars or planes so why would you think rockets would be different? I'm always amazed at how stupid this species really is and how uncommon is "common sense".
I hope I get to see us building something that will travel at least half light speed and explore nearby star systems in my lifetime.
You do understand that getting to high speed requires as much energy/fuel as slowing down

I think that approaching the speed of light doesn’t violate physics; meeting or exceeding it does. I believe that mass goes to infinity as you approach light speed so as long as you don’t reach it you should be fine.
Nobody is saying that approaching lightspeed is violating physics. Even meeting lightspeed does not violate physics if you don't have any mass. And it's not really mass that changes with acceleration, it's inertia that increases - to infinity if you have any mass at lightspeed.
They said man couldn't fly, and Wright Brothers did it. They said the speed of sound could not be broken, and the X1-A with Chuck Yeager did it. Now we look into a new frontier of speed but only in space. Traveling at or beyond the speed of light 186,000 miles per second. In no way will the law of physics be broken but instead expanded into a new territory. A new territory of physics that could take us to the reality of warp speed.

What's wrong with light wave element drive like the one that runs the TR --C
1:10 I might be wrong here, but: Because of how general relativity works, when one is going the speed of light, they reach their destination instantly from their perspective, even if an outside observer only sees them as going ~300m/s. This is the effect of time dilation, and it also means that if one is moving at the speed of light they perceive traveling 1m as taking the same ammount of time as 1 light year.
I love how varied the ideas are here in these devices. From solar sails which are simple, lightweight craft that “ride” a nearby star’s radiation to propel itself… ok reasonable idea. To engines that use exotic negative mass matter (that is only theorized to exist) to distort space time locally around a ship, allowing it to surf the fabric of the universe itself… I guess if you think about, that is no more crazy than the logic behind our current means of space flight 🚀 Yeah, let’s just ride a massive explosion into space, sitting on building-sized fuel tanks that will send a tiny craft no further than our own moon.
why do we need exotic negative mass matter, like dark matter tho? if we cant even see or contain it how do we know it would do what we need?
@@thirdworldrider6991 In my limited understanding of the concept of a warp drive shown in this video, the drive works by contracting space-time in front of the ship and expanding it behind the ship.

Thinking about it purely mathematically, a material that expands space and pushes things away from it would have a “negative mass”. I think the idea is that researches suggest that such a material is possible, but if it is, it is probably extremely rare in our part of the universe since we have not observed it yet (hence why they call it exotic).
Just curious, mad about space but not an engineer, but didn't the Voyager probes use a very early form of solar sail?
@@matthewgumabon7498 a problem I have understanding mass and anti matter, is that we can’t really define empty space. What exactly is expanding? i think there may be more dimensions than we can perceive bc alone it does not make sense. In flatland, a 3D object moves through and appears to grow then shrink. Our universal perspective says the universe is expanding, but it might be missing more info than that
Yeah a big ship the shape of a penis .!!lola o and knowing big chance on absolutely never able to return .I guarantee nobody smart enough to design and engineer these specs are not getting on one of these point blank period.
As I recall, the EM drive was already disproved. All it was doing is producing waste heat and expanding giving an error reading.
It was, in 2018. It was magnetic interference from unshielded wires.
The faster humans realize Earth is where we're stuck for any foreseeable future and space is not a viable frontier the faster we might stop trying to engineer extinction. Too many idiots with no understanding. Even worse, as these two have mentioned, the EM drive was debunked.
@@815TypeSirius that’s the stupidest shit I’ve ever heard. That’s like saying a turtle won’t move if a bird is trying to kill it knowing it’s far too slow. It can still try and it may even make it out alive. Humans may never leave earth but we can still try because if we don’t try we will never know if we could.

I love the hostile inability to comprehend what I am writing in the probably bot replies to my post. Please go take a reading comprehension class and then read my comment again.
Imagine driving down the road and hitting a deer. Now imagine warping through space and hitting a meteor.
Harold G Sonny White has already discovered the Warp. It's a lot simpler than we thought. The matter is stable, Warp is a local Manifold and an Energy Source, Open a Russian Lancet Product 53 and you'll see one lol.
Maybe there isn’t a “breaking the laws of physics.” Maybe we don’t know everything.
Exactly. Perhaps physical reality .....also isn't the only reality. That just encapsulates what we 'already can' measure and observe. What else might exist that we are unaware of?
@@sKraat528 We don't know what we don't know.
@Halo Studios XR Yes before the universe existed there was a life form alone he didn't like it and created the universe.
And maybe one of those things is that physics can break because it isn’t law, it’s just a habit or tendency
@@influentia1patterns Maybe it doesn't need to be broken simply bend it a little.
I can't wait until the Vulkans spot that warp drive signature...
and then the klingons
..can’t wait to see the NX launch.
🤣
@William and Romulans...but we already have a Space Force with a logo “really”” similar to the Federation symbol, or Motorola symbol. So which is it? Can you hear me now?
If we are successful making fusion energy, we can maybe have enough power to travel warp 1 for a few minutes, but if we had a Dyson sphere we could travel at warp speed a bit longer.
Can't wait until the Warp Drive patch hits our universe server.
Thoughts are timeless. In a split of a second we could be anywhere in the universe. That is and will be the way to travel in the universe.
It would be so funny to be like “alright guys time to test the engine” and it just vanishes. I know that’s not how it works but it seems like a funny plot for future cartoons or something.
That's kind of what happened with event horizon
Lol this was lowkey funny 😆 good shit
Actually that probably would happen
Until we have shields, light speed travel would end at the first contact with a spec of space dust
Even at subluminal speeds, hitting a peddle at a few thousand km/s would probably end the whole ships career. In orbit in this day and age, a piece of space junk can rip a satellite apart and they often only have a difference in speed measured in single digits of km/s or even a few hundred m/s.
@@rey_nemaattori Then we need Ludicrous Speed.
@@JesusChristDenton_7 "Smoke if ya got em'" lol
@@rey_nemaattori With the warp drive, the ship isn't going fast, the ship isn't moving at all. The space around the ship is moving, he described the space as folding up in the back and down at the bottom. If this was possible, all items that would be in front of the ship would be distorted out of the space ships way. The reason the people inside wouldn't feel like they are moving is because they technically aren't moving.
Maybe they can create an atmosphere shield that will instantly Vaporise any small Debris in front of the bow . Replicating the effect of an object entering the atmosphere .
The concept was already mentioned by Bikash Kunwar in his Nobel Deity's Planet which was published in 2016 . He explained as: Kishan was a scientist in SSO and he had invented a fastest flying object theory. Ship was designed in such a way that the energy could not lose but was changed in one form to another due to which energy was sufficient for the ship to travell long distance on a very long time and there were no other elements in space to loose energy for which required energy was rotated within the ship’s engine. Speed was increased with a continuous strike of light which made ship fast and traveled 15 times faster than of sunlight, elements used on all parts of ship were special and could exist on a very high temperature
The inexorable march forward of nanotechnology and the inherently mind-blowing nature of exponential technological progress combine to imply both that we will have lifespans adequate to explore other star systems with near current technologies and/or that we will live long enough to develop the warp technologies to travel that way as well.
Imagine how cool it would feel to say "we're jumping to light speed"
Sooo cool! Chills 😎

It's never gonna happen tho 😂 keep dreaming Homosexuals 😂 🤣 🤣

@@attrennux0000 cause it's funny.
space may be big, but it has things in it.. and sod's law states the further the distance between 2 points the more likely it is to have something in between those 2 points, so you may be travelling at warp speed but what are the effects of hitting something at that speed on the vessel?
you are telling me we are close to star wars type engines, heck yes
All breakthroughs have happened faster than anyone previously thought that they would, I have no doubt the next will also.
I think we'll see some pretty damn interesting propulsion tech in our lifetime. Not sure if FTL or even light speed is actually possible, I mean the fastest thing we can use now is light, and it would require 100% efficiency to go light speed while using light as a propellant... Some damn interesting things are coming though.
The universe has cleverly protected itself from the rapid spread of humans by making fast interstellar travel extremely difficult. Pretty smart for a big load of gas and dust...
Ya, maybe we should be thinking of ways to extend the lifespan of the sun instead. At least we've got a billion years to come up with a cunning plan.
That's what the reapers are for.
Underrated
aliens of evolution races helped shape this part of the universe in the big multiverse
Actually it’s protecting itself from wonky cause and effect issues.
I just read an article and there was actually a discovery of something just like dilithium crystals. And they're going to use those as fuel to power a warp-drive ship!
So basically we just have to warp space around the space ship.
Yup but the only know way to do that is with physical mass and the amount of mass required to generate significant warping is near impossible to acquire...something like 10% the mass of the sun.
Sounds like the premise of that movie Event Horizon.
Yup technicly you wouldnt even be moving you would move space wich makes it possible to travel very large distances without experiencing time dialation meaning if you travel to another star and back the same time has passed on earth then in your spaceship without a warp bubble this would have huge time dialation effects resulting in paradoxes you would get back to earth maybe in 2 min but 200 years would have passed on earth
@@jerometruitt2731 not impossible the enegy requirements will go down b4cause 15 years ago they thought they needed the energy of the entire universe thats A LOT more then a planet the size of jupiter youll see in the future its not gonne take more then a jerrycan of that stuff
@@danielstokker how would it end in paradoxes if you're only moving forward in time?
EM Drive was confirmed to NOT work unfortunately. Any effects were determined to be due to external factors. Depressing.
Perhaps they could combine it with something else to create a hybrid propulsion system. I think that's worth a try.
I KNOW!! I saw that here a few weeks ago on another channel. They should do some very quick research to verify what they are talking about. The Guy or Robot has a great voice though! 🤡
I thought he sounded like Thunderf00t so I kept watching. But Thunderf00t completely calls out the Em drive and shows what complete sh*t it really is. We still can't break the laws of psychics guys! The Em drive would break conservation of energy, so I was skeptical from the first time I heard about it. Input always equals output! And just like "free energy" and perpetual motion machines it really doesn't work...
@@taborturtle brilliant lol
@@stephenlangsl67 nope, it is literally less efficient than pointing a big enough flashlight out the back of the spaceship.

Buzz Aldrin said once that one could fly a brick if you gave it enough power. That Shawyer engine may surprise if one consults the Chinese REsearch. A paper from them some years ago talked about a fourth generation engine using superconductors and very high currents and voltages improved this thruster dramatically to the point that it could take off from earth to space with safety, and land on it as well. Smaller versions could be used for satellite 'stationing' to keep them in position in their proper orbits. Another engine recently proposed is a magnetic connection engine inspired by fusion where near fusion regimes could expel propellant at over 100,000 miles per second of a reflector in the rear of the craft for a very good space propulsion engine...look it up!
I really hope this becomes a reality in my lifetime. I’m not hoping for space travel to become mainstream in my lifetime, I just want ONE successful test of an engine that could get to mars in under 6 months. That would be amazing.
You would have to travel 30,000mph non stop to do that.
@@youngkeazy2806 the fastest spacecraft speed was 364,660 mph(achieved by the parker solar probe). with mars being at its minimum distance to earth it is 33.9 million miles. not accounting for takeoff and landing, at a constant speed of 364,660 mph it would take the probe roughly 93 hours to reach mars. all hypothetical with many factors not considered but possible

Bro I have a question can we use any other energy to bend the space time fabric
I have a better and simpler idea based on my observation that every time I eat spaghetti with marinara sauce on it while wearing a white shirt, some of the red sauce always manages to jump by itself from the spaghetti onto the white shirt. My proposal is to utilize the force that drives the sauce to the shirt to propel a spacecraft forward through the depths of the universe. The proposal is simplicity itself. Simply suspend, from a pole hung out in front of the spacecraft, a net containing spaghetti well drenched in marinara sauce while the nose of the spacecraft is covered with white dress shirts. The force attracting the red sauce onto the white shirts will propel the spacecraft forward indefinitely, especially if a means is provided continuously to replenish the sauce on the spaghetti and the white shirts covering the nose of the spacecraft.

It's like we're trapped here.
I couldn't understand the warp drive, from where the energy source would come from?
There are many issues with this video, but I want to point out two things: "almost no exotic matter" (or whatever the quote was) still is a MASSIVE problem because we still have absolutely no idea how to procure such stuff. Also, a warp drive would allow us to push past the speed of light; movement within space time itself is limited by the speed of light, but manipulating space time isn't.
Are you talking about anti-matter because if you are CERN pretty much makes it
Also he demonstrated a lack understanding of Newton's 3rd law when he stated that an airplane flies by pushing against the air.
@@dionysius1321 in atomically small quantities, sure.
@@dionysius1321 yeah, seriously. Like EXTREMELY, TINY, ULTRAMICROSCOPIC amounts. Antimatter is what, like $62.5 _TRILLION_ for a single gram? And you're talking about enough to move tons of metal through space? No, CERN is sooo not "pretty much" making it.
Also he was saying we’d run out of fuel in space but once you reach a speed and aren’t around any large bodies of mass you won’t need to produce any more thrust, you’ll just keep moving at that speed
"Aerojet Rocketdyne" is a great company name...It is like a 5 year old naming something. So if I asked my 6 year old to name a weapons company it would be "Shootygun BlasterCompany"
So when are Shootygun Blasters projected to hit the market?
Haha ure right 😂
: Sounds like you’re a Yoyodyne kind of guy, huh ?
Then there's that thing in Relativity that states as an object approaches the speed of light, it's mass approaches infinity. We're gon'a need a bigger motor to push around something with the mass of the universe.
Still waiting on my flying car - then we can talk about warp drives lol
"Engage the enclosed-system cold fusion warp drive, Scotty!" "Aye cap'n, but I dunno if it'll work."
You’ve been to space and traveled in a vacuum, only in your deepest imagination, it’s called the impossible engine because that’s exactly what it is, it’s funny how they explain that push is what causes motion yet they invoke that “gravity” and why things fall is due to a pull, there’s no such force as pull, pull is merely a descriptor of something being pushed towards you, a pressure is needed to cause motion, no motion without push, all space travel is pathetic gibberish
Recent testing of the EM drive ( not NASA) initially showed thrust , but when they ' changed " the configuration of support points. they could no longer measure thrust and ' theorized ' that it was some sort of thermal heating of the scale . NASA takes these kinds of things into account anyway .
When you go faster than the speed of light you pop into the supernatural realm.
I think we will definitely see it happen in the next century. After all, we have seen many of the technologies of Star Trek come to pass already. Automatic doors, cell phones, tasers, touchscreen technology to name the more noticable ones.
It takes a different kind of balls to go ludicrous speed, some may say you'll need spaceballs in order to
imagine aliens that have been watching us for thousands of years, and when we finally reach faster than light speeds, they will contact us^^
You've been watching to much star trek.
Will they? Or will they decide we are too much of a threat?
Faster than light 🤣🤣 Nasa would settle for 1% light speed at this point, and that's Far out of reach at present...
@@michaelbritain5546 It is already possible to reach up to 10% light speed

The U.S.A. has already used nuclear power in space. Each of the Voyagers is powered by nuclear energy. OK, it is not a full-blown nuclear reactor, but it still works. To this day.
Excellent voice over, and interesting content :)
There was the Daedalus project, which never went past the design stage due largely to the fact that it used nuclear propulsion and it was designed at the height of anti-nuclear sentiment in the US. Apparently it would have been able to hit 12% the speed of light, which would have got us to Barnard's Star within 50 years or so.

Nuclear powered is the first. That too away from home. Parasailes next within solar system. Especially com sats. Com sats can thrust on focus. Somewhat like launch pads.
What if we could use a neutrino bubble ? That would also deal with the problem of collisions in space too?
