[@tekelupharsin4426]

@@ArvinAsh There's a reason Frank Herbert's Dune novels are generally considered the greatest novels in all of science fiction. Dune was the direct inspiration for much of Star Wars - the entire fictional universe of Star Wars wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for Dune. While the 1984 Dune film leaves the viewer with the assumption that the Navigators could manipulate space time for space travel, this assumption is entirely incorrect. In the books, the ships themselves manipulate space time; so that's the part of the equation that your video here was discussing. But if you remember, in Dune, the most important and valuable aspect of space travel were the Navigators - humans that had evolved over hundreds of years using the spice known as Melange, which gave the Navigators short-term prescience abilities. This gave them small glimpses of the near-future, which allowed them to know when objects would be in the path of the traveling space ship that would result in a collision (stars, asteroids, comets, meteors, planets, moons, and other space debris), so they could adjust the trajectory of the space-ship accordingly to avoid the collision. That's why they were called Navigators. And that's the greatest problem of them all - you can't travel that fast unless you have an effective way to navigate so you can avoid collisions with the various types of objects you'll encounter during space travel - such as stars, asteroids, comets, meteors, planets, moons, etc. To this day the subject of navigation is one very few science fiction movies like to touch - the reason it's briefly mentioned in the first Star Wars film is because the concept of navigation was still very fresh in George Lucas' mind from the Dune novels.

He showed that light going into a blackhole would move faster than the speed of light in normal space in a vacuum. He said that time is not a constant. Warp drive does not go against general relativity. And time travel is impossible because time is not a thing and time is not a dimension. There is nothing in Einstein's work that does not allow warp drive to be possible. Even with the possibility of time travel warp drive is possible because the ship does not move, the curved space around the ship moves. There is a difference no violation.

Dear Eliasguitarred: At age 68 I tell you what matters. Nearly all professors are intelligent and nearly all are equally pompous. However, an open mind can often trump over the most of intelligent minds - including your professor Alcubierre. For example: If I were in any of his classes I would confront him with the following. When we walk we walk through space. We don't stand still ordering all of space to come to us. Not even the most wealthiest of us, nor the most famous of us, has the ego to even speculate that all of the universe comes to us. Furthermore, this pompous theory assumes that all of the asteroids, comets, and other space junk are going to make way for our spacecraft of say about 500 million miles per hour (that's nearly 75% the speed of light). So, odds are, given enough travel at that speed - Ka Bang! That would be the result hitting just a basketball sized asteroid! And onboard radar wouldn't be able to warn you in time (to turn from it) because radar has to travel twice the distance and you are already traveling 75% speed of that radar - going one way!

[@beckonerseven9517]

It's a credit to the Star Trek writers. They tried to keep it as grounded in real science as they could. Everything from transparent aluminum,iPads, smartphones, Google Glass, etc, were all depicted in Star Trek before it was invented. It's been argued that anything you can imagine can be done somehow, the logic being that imagining something physically impossible is itself physically impossible. Human imagination cannot concieve of anything impossible or physics defying because our brains are composed of matter from the universe which itself has rules. So everything you can think of is within the realm of universal possibility. The trick is figuring out how to do it. Once we solve the energy problem, things like FTL will be small potatoes.

Such braking, in reality, would have splattered them against those colorful consoles of the Starship Enterprise! And the ship itself might even be compacted like a stepped on empty soda can! Don't brake enough, and in short, you bypass your target - but if you spent most of your energy attaining Warp speed from Point A - you won't have nearly enough energy to do any required braking - once arriving at Point B!

[@donmcelfresh6678]

Love the video. I've read some of the remarks here & it amazes me how not many ppl are willing to think on their own. They repeat what they have been taught in school. For myself I like to question everything. Like time travel! We do not know the mysteries that abound in space. Periodic table is not complete maybe 2x more. Why is space so dark? What if C was not the ultimate speed limit. What if something else exceeds that. We wouldn't know bcuz we can't detect it. Can we see oxygen or hydrogen with the naked eye? What we see in our universe is also how large the atomic universe is. Visible universe=positive whereas the atomic universe=negative universe. We don't know how to detect things like dark matter, dark energy, the ether, etc. Negative energy is there we just don't know how to detect it yet. One more thing I would like to inspire ppl to think about designing an engine that we can use to achieve 28.5 million mph. At that speed we can get to the edge of our solar system in 2 weeks.

This is the best explanation of warp drive i have ever seen thank you

[@ArvinAsh]

Glad you think so!

[@Pottedcrafter]

totally true

[@jjohnjibin]

Amazing video! So much of science and mathematics crumbled down to simplicity. Appreciate the efforts you've put behind this.

[@eugeniag37]

Your videos make me want to be a scientist!

Good for you! That's one of the best compliments I've received. Thank you.

“you can’t move space 9000 times faster than the speed of light but space can move you 9000 times faster than the speed of light” this sounds like they broke the game. The devs need to patch this

[@Tryst46]

We have spent thousands of years trying to contact the devs, still no response. I think this game may have been abandoned.

no one is negative, its just because of people like u that deserve all the negativity because ur sht

“With more new thought provoking episodes of Star Trek” Yeah not with Discovery we ain’t.

[@ArvinAsh]

Totally agree. Bring back TNG!

[@marcogiuliocamurri]

A friend of mine ate a space cake made with special mushroom and he said he was tripping faster than light. Discovery was pretty accurate about this!

[@DerSky]

Lets hope that the new Star Trek: Picard show is better than Discovery :o

At least we have Star Trek:The Orville. The best Star Trek since at least TNG

love how describing warp drive makes it sound like a mullet. business (contraction) in front, party (expansion) in the back.

[@ArvinAsh]

Haha...that's an analogy I would have never thought of.

This was really well explained, I now actually understand how warp drive could work..... thanks !

[@Aoi_Noobette]

I'm so Exited on our future, Mars Colonization, Moon colonization, Science-fiction Flying Vehicles, Holograms, and the WARP that you mention on this video, Thanks Arvin Ash you gave me an Inspiration and knowledge

[@adamjensen4582]

Just newer give up bro )

[@Aoi_Noobette]

huh?

[@pst5345]

Why tho? Ppl jizz their pants in documentaries pf colonizing space but forget the sheer distances to suitable planezs in the goldilock zone or - even worse - that mars cannot hold an atmosphere which is why it looks like it is today. It was about forming life but then lost everything due to lack of mass. Why would you try to colonize mars? It is an economical nightmare. We will be sitton here for numerpus hundreds of years snd should try to manage ressources for surviving till technology has reached a level to build fixed orbit stations. If we survive that then maybe we can think about gardening on moons or other planets.

Give it time, we've already made so many things from Star Trek it actually makes me wonder if the show was made to get us ready for it all.

[@tsinestexicthdauwraum9082]

Right? So many naysayers in the comments that don't realize that (good) sci-fi only stays sci-fi for a couple of decades. Then it becomes reality.

I believe in the idea that whatever we can imagine we can create. We are not imagining outside the universal laws. Everything is bound to the universal laws that we are in.

[@markross699]

Wonderful video. Excellent balance between the facts that this is unlikely to really happen with dreaming about the impact. Dream big but keep one eye on what’s known.

Arvin, you knocked it out of the park as usual! I'm so happy you did a video on the Alcubierre drive, it's a fascinating topic. Keep making these videos man, you're doing great
