Faster than Light: How Your Shadow Can Do It but You Can't by Dr. Robert Nemiroff www.amazon.com/Faster-than-Light-Your-Shadow/dp/1662933843

[@williamrunner6718]

It's really interesting the shadow. It's a 2D projection of a 3D object. It doesn't exist in the way I scientifically define the word exist because it is dependent on other objects, (Light, target object, object face or screen) and it isn't a standalone object.

[@rezadaneshi]

🧐🤔🤷‍♂️💥In a hot day, a seven inch expansion on a one mile railroad track grounded at 2 ends resulted in a curve high enough from the ground in the middle for a 2 story bus to go under it. My question is, what if distance varies in measurements based on the number of its local conditions that distort its path to appear longer to our static model of what it should be. Light takes longer passing through a gravitationally lensing path than where the object is in a direct line to us; and should we consider that as the distance if we as well will be distorted to take that path thinking we are going straight?

Fantastic discussion and I love answers with, "I don't know.", but still providing great information. The questions were wonderful and sensible! I've been wondering very similar things myself after watching videos like this every chance I can from the well known and respected people, scientists, or organizations that put out discussions or overall videos.... It just seems we're getting closer to understanding stuff we obviously can't imagine at the moment.... and to people who think stuff is impossible or now way we could figure it out, just makes me laugh and giggle. What have we learned over the past year? What about since a decade ago? What about a century ago? Yeah, watching Star Trek or something with advanced technology, I just look at my phone and realize they seemed restricted to using voice to communicate back and forth when a simple FaceTime or something would convey the information without having to describe it or anything like that. Come on people, let's get excited for working together and trying things to figure this stuff out! I promise it'll be a fun and exciting journey, just buckle up, it might be a fast (and occasionally bumpy ride), but the sky is no longer the limit and I don't know what is other than ourselves or politics and not being able to be kind to kind to each other. We are TINY! We are nothing, not even a pin prick compared to the scale of everything. Most people just don't even realize it yet nor are they open. Hell, my roommate is an idiot (violent meth head so you can't expect much) that thinks he's the center of the universe. Much love to you and your loved ones! Be safe out there y'all! 🍻🌎♥️🎶🕺🚀☄️🕳️🛰️📡🔭

"...a redshift of 3... that galaxy will just sorta freeze... -and that image will never disappear..." Wouldn't the engery of the photon-packets (wavicles) eventually HAVE TO reach a zero-energy state? Otherwise that "image" burned into the universe's horizon would provide INFINITE ENERGY from the never-ending trickle of photon-wavicles into the expanding universe (Since these object could never go "dark." - also, this could be a real "silly & cute" explanation for dark energy btw)

[@jmtsurprise]

He says we will never not be able to see the redshift 3 galaxy- but eventually in the future it will be beyond the cosmic horizon and we will no longer see it, correct?

[@7heHorror]

We will continue to see the galaxy only as it was when it passed our cosmic horizon. It will have continued evolving and emitting light beyond that, which is the part we won't see.

[@jmtsurprise]

@@7heHorrorso the galaxies we already see won’t flicker out and eventually we will only be able to see the local group? I have heard that many times

[@7heHorror]

@@jmtsurprise Yes because the space between galaxies is expanding, only those close enough for gravity to overcome the expansion will remain together. Eventually there will be so much expanding space between distant galaxies that not even light will overcome it. It's commonly understood that galaxies at that distance will fade from sight. Dr. Nemiroff is explaining that actually, a faded and static image of those galaxies will remain imprinted in our sky.

[@superfamilyallosauridae6505]

​@@7heHorrorIf light no longer overcomes it, where would the photons we are actually seeing come from to provide our infinite frozen image?

[@7heHorror]

@@superfamilyallosauridae6505 From our perspective, a galaxy approaching the cosmic horizon will appear to slow down because each photon is taking longer to reach us than the last. The final bit of light it emits before crossing the horizon will take longer than the lifetime of the universe to reach us. My understanding is that eventually we may have to wait a million years to see the next photon, then a billion years to see the photon after that, then a trillion years, etc. We will have to wait longer than the lifetime of the universe to see the very last photon. So effectively it will always be there. It's the same phenomenon you would expect to see watching something fall into a black hole.

[@fydstar]

I don’t understand how a galaxy to which we are unable to communicate with, could be visible for ever, if eventually no more photons can reach us from that galaxy? Surely unless the universe retains imprints, it will surely fade?

[@superfamilyallosauridae6505]

Yeah, he didn't really present anything that would make that make any sense. It would first freeze and redshift further, but you should eventually not see anything at all

[@daveadalian4116]

All spacetime is expanding in all directions. When light travels, it crosses that expanding spacetime. If two objects are distant enough, then the collective expansion rate exceeds the speed of causality (which is same as the speed of light in vacuum. After that distance is exceeded, the two objects can no longer exchange light. But, the light that's already on its way, crossing those vast cosmic distances, is being stretched by the growth of spacetime. As the light is stretched longer and longer, it changes frequency, becoming further shifted into the red, leading to the term "red shift." Eventually, that light will change frequency so much its no longer light but some other electromagnetic signal, but not for a time greater than the life expectancy of our star. In the meantime, the light will keep coming, changing to longer and longer wavelengths as it ages, and we'll continue to see it well beyond the ability of light to cross the distance. Hawking has a great description of this in A Brief History of Time. He talks about this in terms of light cones and their intersection. Read the book. It's a good one.

Hi there and thanks for the job. Question : i like vers much the piece of music that you use at the end of the show. May it has a name ? Where could I fond the full version ? Yours

[@EinsteinsHair]

Responding to the question at 45:59 he had a thought experiment at 46:42 about sweeping a laser pointer across a wall. As a physicist he should think of things, and then do calculations. That would fix his confusion. Suppose the wall is one light second away, almost to the moon. Say the ends are one light year to the left and one light year to the right. The whole point of the book is that he sweeps the laser dot along the wall faster than the speed of light, say 2 seconds. The dot at the center of the wall returns two seconds after the pointer was aimed at it. The dot splits in two and goes left and right toward the ends of the wall. The light will come back from the left end 2 years after the laser was pointed at it (one year there and one year back.) It will also take two years for the light to return from the right end of the wall, but that light was sent two seconds after the light was sent to the left end, so 2 years and 2 seconds after the left end. The next paragraph is a lot of words, where a simple diagram would be much clearer. Imagine a spot to the left of center that is two light seconds from the laser pointer, so light returns in 4 seconds. The only way you see that point before the center point is to give it more time and wait over two seconds between aiming at the left point and at the center point. By Pythagoras the hypothenuse to the left point is 2 units away, the center point is 1 unit away, and the distance between them is square root of 3 units. This just means that the laser pointer has to sweep this distance in less than two seconds, so you see the center dot first. Center first, then 2 dots moving to the ends. Someone calculated in another comment that he was also wrong about the sun appearing to orbit the Earth faster than the speed of light. It would have to be over 3.8 light hours away to appear to do that.

[@marvinmauldin4361]

When light travels through a medium such as glass or water, the speed that is being measured is the speed of the light wave. Individual photons might bounce around like pinballs, increasing their travel distance, or hit something which after a finite period emits another photon. Whether bouncing or being emitted, the photon is always moving at the speed of light in a vacuum.

Superluminal velocities are not necessary for human interstellar travel. At relativistic speeds time dilates per Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity. At 99%c the time dilation (Lorentz factor) is 7. A 4.3 light-year trip to Proxima Centauri would take 224 days (excluding the time to accelerate & decelerate.)

[@sentientflower7891]

The radiation exposure would kill you before you reached Pluto.

[@douglaswilkinson5700]

​@@sentientflower7891The comment was meant to simply point out that relativistic velocities make human interstellar travel *possible under known physics.* The design and construction of such a spacecraft is far beyond our ability today. At 99%c the cosmic microwave background radiation is blue-shifted into lethal gamma rays, colliding with a 1-ounce asteroid would produce a multi-megaton nuclear blast, etc. There was a good video by a physicist explaining each of these challenges and possible solutions. Just don't recall what channel. One of the biggest challenges is producing the thrust needed for 99%c. Even fusion drives won't. It will take some sort of anti-matter drive to produce the energy required ....

[@sentientflower7891]

@@douglaswilkinson5700 well, supposing such a technology existed if you did happen to attain 99% light speed you have exceeded the escape velocity for both the galaxy and the local group so you aren't going to get wherever you intend to go. Beyond that it is literally impossible to navigate at any speed approaching light speed. Finally suppose you did get so fast you will have to decelerate so as to attain orbit around your destination star and your orbital insertion around that star will require an initial orbit of at least 100,000 years.

[@douglaswilkinson5700]

@@sentientflower7891 A comfortable deceleration from 99%c is estimated take about a month. Then you'd be at Proxima Centauri. Orbital insertion wouldn't take 100,000 years. What formula did you use to come up with that number? Of course small course corrections are possible at relativistic velocities. The spacecraft's FMS (flight management system) would handle that as well as other critical processes such as deceleration and accounting for time dilation. Also, at 99%c, the time dilation is only 7 so you'd never exit the galaxy.

[@sentientflower7891]

@@douglaswilkinson5700 you want to decelerate from 99% c to less than .001% c in less than a month? Fine. You are going to need to decelerate before you get to Proxima Centauri. That means that you complete your deceleration at least half a light year from Proxima Centauri. As such you are approaching your destination star from the distance of the comets and therefore you will have a comet's orbit. A comet approaching a star at orbital velocity from that distance will have a 100,000 year orbit. If you have successfully attained orbit. If you miscalculate you will spend 100,000 years and discover that you still have escape velocity from Proxima Centauri.

[@marvinmauldin4361]

Think of the laser pointer as firing a string of individual photons like a paintball gun firing a string of paintballs. When being swung across the wall, the string of spots can lengthen FTL, but nothing physical is moving, only the geometry of the end. The next photon hits the wall before a photon from the previous spot has time to reach the last spot. I'm tempted to say that everything is an illusion anyway, but I won't.

[@jamesvickers3266]

I had never thought about the gravity produced by photons which have spread out in all directions as being a cause of 'dark matter'. If it's photons that cause it, it's neither dark nor is it matter. Maybe the gravitational attraction of photons is one aspect of the 'dark matter' mystery. I suppose it would be quite difficult to take into account the photons or photon fields when calculating gravity acting on objects.

[@fredg.sanford634]

I have a question similar to yours. Not even photons can escape from the "infinite" gravity of a black hole, but isn't the gravitational attraction between two objects a result of them both having mass? Do black holes become more massive when they "swallow" light? Maybe I'm just a dummy.

[@TheCuban86]

You should speak bout it with prof Andrzej Dragan, he has some interesting view on it :)

[@flavywavin]

At 22:30 he says if you stood on the equator, knew the distance to the sun, and didn't know the earth is rotating the sun would appear to move faster than light. This would certainly be true for the stars, as he says, but it seems wrong to me for the sun... Here's my rough calculation: Earth's orbit distance (miles) = 93,000,000 Orbital diameter (miles) = 93,000,000 * 2 = 186,000,000 Orbital circumference (miles) = 186,000,000 * 3.14 = 584,040,000 The sun should appear to travel the entire orbital circumference in the time it takes earth to rotate once, so one day. (I realize I'm ignoring the fact that after 1 day earth will also progress further in its orbit, causing a little more rotation to be required for the sun to appear in the same location in the sky, but that would only make a minor difference, like a 1/365 sort of difference) So the sun would be traveling at an apparent speed of 584,040,000 miles per day. miles per hour = 584,040,000 / 24 = 24,335,000 miles per second = 24,335,000 / 60 / 60 = 6,759.7 So the sun would look like its traveling 6759.7 miles per second, which is way slower than the speed of light at 186,000 miles per second. Have I messed up the calculation somehow?

[@EinsteinsHair]

Seems correct. To put it another way, how far from Earth would something have to be to have the illusion that it orbits faster at the speed of light? It would sit on a circle 24 light hours long. The radius of that circle would be 24/2pi or 3.81972 light hours, much farther than the few light minutes to the sun. Everything beyond that distance would apparently be travelling around the Earth faster than the speed of light would allow.

[@philipmetts8831]

Does a Black Hole have a gravitational escape velocity faster than light or is it that the deeper you go into it the escape velocity is still the speed of light since this is the upper limit of speed in the universe? Yes I know about inverse square but light speed is the limit.

The real issue is moving masses faster than light without suffering time dilation so we can go to other worlds. Going faster than light, to me, isn't the issue, nor is time dilation. It's how do you protect yourself from radiation of all kinds that propagates when you approach or even breach C. C is the natural speed limit, but to me that doesn't mean you can't go faster than light.

About dark matter: I have heard the very basic explanation as to why it can't be cold hydrogen atoms (we don't see the expected radiation) but I'm not convinced. Would someone here please explain that more fully? If the hydrogen was very cold indeed, and moving in the same direction (outwards) as other hydrogen, they would not collide with each other, and as far as I know would not radiate anything.

"Nothing that creates the information can transfer that information faster than light." - If this is true for all information which participates in three dimensional space plus time, then when we learn to negate one of the physical dimensions, allowing (restricting) information to participate in two spatial dimensions plus time, that information can and will be able to be transferred faster than light (by a power of two). To do this, we will need to learn how to modulate information's vibrations so that one of the dimensional participations is negated (canceled out).

@@daveadalian4116 All matter and energy and all negative matter and negative energy is by definition information. That is non-negotiable or the statement I addressed from the video would be deemed non-sequator.

[@daveadalian4116]

​@@AnthonyGiallourakisNope. If that's true, then where was all that alleged information prior to the formation of the universe? Information is perceptual, relative and always incomplete. Where will all the information go at the heat death of the universe? Back in its box? While we're at it, define information.

[@AnthonyGiallourakis]

@@daveadalian4116 It is true that one of the laws of the Universe is the conservation of information. I want you to understand something important. The Universe and all information participates in three spatial dimensions and one we call time. Information is created when at least two of these four coordinates are assigned. Two at a time is pure energy. Three at a time is matter. If T is one of the coordinates, then the information is in what we call a waveform. If it is not, then is a particle. The coordinates of all information vibrates between any three of these four assignments. Now comes the fun part. Think of the time coordinate as scaffolding, that supports the other three dimensions. And just like the three spatial dimensions we are all familiar with, time can be a value that is both positive or negative. Now imagine what everyone calls the Big Bang. Everything is assigned one dimension and time is zero. At the moment time is introduced, and information is created.... let's assume inflation and the whole narrative we hear from the experts is true. Skip to the point where information is created, first energy, then matter.... as the scaffolding of time unfolds, the lines of time begin to become curled based the effects of the laws of gravity as mass grows (matter comes together). Einstein called it spacetime. The scaffolding is altered. Fast forward to black holes. The scaffolding (time lines) are at a 180 degree angle to the original timeline (big bang) at the event horizon of a black hole. So from the original timeline, the scaffolding that information participates on can be anything in-between 0 and 360 degrees, depending on the mass and gravity. This is why we call time relativistic, and why you would age much slower than your friends if you were traveling a decent fraction of the speed of light around the Earth for a day and then came back home. The greater the mass, the more vibration between (X,Y,Z coordinates, the less T is included). Once past the event horizon of a black hole, the angle of the scaffolding of time is negative. This is real meaningful. By definition, this means that the information is now participating on a negative timeline and is therefore negative information. Being on a negative timeline is not the same as moving backward in time. The properties of that information are unique to what we know. First, by definition it moves through the Universe towards a singularity, the opposite of inflation. Second, it does not interact with any positive information. Third, it is not attracted to itself like positive information - it repels. As negative information moves closer to the center of a black hole, the timeline it participates on forces greater deflation. So if you think of all the black holes that ever were, are, and will be, and you think of all the positive information they take in, invert to negative information and from that point in time, it all moves via deflation until it all collects at one point...... but because it resists itself (opposite of mass as we know it), eventually even the scaffolding of time itself can no longer resist that repelling force and it all converts back to positive information and there you go... the big bang. So there is no end to information and time is only a coordinate, it never started and it never ends. When we learn to modulate the vibration of information between X,Y,Z and T, so that we will gain control of both time and space. Tesla said it clearly, and that knowledge will unlock the unification theory of all things (gravity and the quantum). Right now, where you stand, negative information that participated on a positive timeline, entered a black hole, and was inverted to negative information is participating on a negative timeline, moving right through the space you are in, and (in simplistic terms) heading back to become part of what created the irresistible force that initiated the big bang. Dark matter/dark energy solved. We can't interact with it, but it does warp space/time in such a way as to account for the anomalies we see in our observations. It cannot be measured or interacted with because the time lines are negative. E=M(C*C) becomes -E=-M(-C*-C).

Your scissors example is why the universe is expanding faster than the speed of light. The universe sized scissors are the same as a universe sized cell growing in size. The speed of this growth tears across space at unbelievable speeds. We are the microscopic eyes viewing a larger cell growing outwards from us at speeds exceeding the speed of light.

[@cordatusscire344]

Photons.. actually nothing at all can ever go "c". Time stops at c. If Time has stopped, so to has causality, which means from our perspective the object would.. just vanish from reality. That is because you can never get information to it nor from it. So it would quite literally vanish from existence.

The only weird thing about this is that “now” is not “real”. Now is a 3D manifold you draw through 4D space time. (Reference frame) Changing your velocity tilts your reference frame in the direction you accelerated in. So one side of the sky shifts into the future, and the opposing side of the sky is now further in the past than it would have been. Unruh effect 😳

The amount of energy required for humanity to travel faster than the speed of light is equivalent to the following equation. First, calculate the amount of energy required for a person to carry a petri dish to the moon. Second, divide the amount of times it would take for life in the Petri dish to equal the size of the human holding the dish and thirdly, multiply that number by the amount of energy required for said human to travel to the moon.

I wonder if you could shape a "wall" so that as you sweep a laser across the "dot" makes a line appear as the reflected light all arrives back at the same time? How much could you manipulate the shape of the "wall" to control how the lasers for appears to reflect back? This was a very intriguing episode 😊
