5:29 how can you have ‘real time communication’ when it takes light 12.5 mins (on average, depending on Mars’ orbital distance) to reach either end of the communications? Unless, they’ve found a way to implement communications via quantum entanglement?! Good VFX though!

[@mochaandmuses]

i think what the best part about this short is that this short is humanity's first FTL and first contact and from the alien point of view, they were simply responding to a distress call and returning the "alien" back to his home planet. Nothing more. nothing less. Just being decent neighbors.

I'm five minutes into it and apparently interplanetary communications happen instantly. Really breaks the suspension of disbelief. As did the "light tunnel," which wouldn't be close to what you'd see. Anyone know how many stars there are between earth and Mars? That's correct. Zero. Where'd all the light beams come from then? He'd probably see blackness with any light concentrated at the front as it closes in on singularity. Further, the light would be either blue (coming at you) or red (going away from you). Not sure I even want to sit through the last 10 minutes given terrible the acting (is that a retired contractor as "Captain?"), animation, and adherence to the subject matter at all for a short film taking a physics theory as its title. If this is the best film you've seen, I'd love to hear what the worst is.

That's only if he is physically there. That little holographic shutter in his face makes me wonder if that's actually him, or a replication of the exact way the molecules formed his physical form in OUR reality. Have a feeling he disintegrated somehow by the things he made contact with. Did they just break him down, then light travel his particles back down to his home? Plus, if we could travel near (not at the SOL) the speed of light and back, wouldn't time have passed very differently from his location to earths? Like, in the edges of the gargantuan black hole's event horizon, time and space are being warped so drastically that every hour that passes there equals 7 years back on earth. I'd imagine light travel affects in someway space and time in very strange ways. Did you know that even astronauts in real life that have gone to the moon and back, they've technically altered their own age in comparison to how time passes here inside of our earths gravity. A certain one, can't recall his name but famous. After he came back, he was actually a 6th of a year younger than he was when he went into outer space. So technically traveling at the speed of light is time travel.

A lot of people don't understand that it's more difficult to write a short script that makes narrative sense and tells a well rounded story with a satisfying ending than it does to write a feature length scrip. I stumbled upon this by accident and thought it was absolutely brilliant. Great production values and great acting. Everybody that worked on this short film should be very proud.

[@branram]

I think the problem has less to do with the writing and more to do with some of the production choices. The story is a solid start that could develop further in a number of directions... but choices like an experimental space craft having a 'cockpit' that is nearly all glass, or having the pilot in an experimental space craft not wear a helmet, are problematic. As for the actual production quality, it was great aside from the FTL flight sequence... and the acting as a solid C+/B- -- but that might be more due to the nature of the short film beast. Trying to cram emotion and backstory into a short piece like this can result in acting that feels somewhat forced. With a few tweaks this could have been really great, and it is good enough to be used as a proof of concept for further development of the story into a series or feature length production.

[@246spyder]

@@silberfuchsag4746 a lot of people don't understand quantum entaglement.. first rule of the universe is that nothing can travel faster than light, not even information. A way to circumvent this and do FTL travel is to bend the space around an object to shorten the distance without going faster than light, which is what they've done here. since information cannot travel faster than light, real time communication that is faster than light is literally impossible, unless they found a way to bend the space around the information while being sent which is yet another impossibility in itself.

Having a channel host like DUST or CGBrothers gives a small film maker like this more exposure than if Adam Stern had up-loaded it to a separate channel.

The Alcubierre Warp Drive requires negative matter and energy that does not exist. Quantum entanglement doesn't actually allow FTL communication as it is just random static until you compare with the other end, at regular light speed. That is a slightly lower than Class II civilization as they are using a Dyson Swarm and not an enclosed Dyson Sphere. Probably harvesting less than 30% of their sun's energy. A full Class II requires 100% solar energy harnessing.

I think its at the near end of type 5 - beginning of type 6 on the Kardashev scale (Multi-Universal species). This type of travel is not only faster than light, but also faster than time since you can go from being on Earth to going on a 4 week vacation to Universe B and return to Universe A (4 weeks later) just as your leaving to Universe B. Type 1 would have access to "warp drives", though I'm not sure they would provide faster than light travel due to energy constraints. Shouldn't be too long to see this happen, and people being born today should see them as it'll take about 100 years or so of advances. Type 3 would have access to artificial wormholes. If humanity does survive this long, it'll take about 100,000 years or so of technological advances.

@@FinGeek4now If youre roughly 20 or younger you might have a chance at seeing the type 1 space travel technology as our own medical technology will advance alongside it and this means the average life expectancy will increase :)

@@FinGeek4now I don't think the puzzle of figuring out the universe is going to take 100k years. More like 1-5k I think now that we are getting into the swing of things.

Plot twist: That is actually a clone of the real human send to earth to study and gather data about human species. Plot twist 2 : This guy got to the edge of the Universe, and those were not actually aliens, whoever made the Universe made some safety borders in case someone got there to send them back to where the come from.

you're suffering from transporter psychosis buddy.

would make a great full length movie, dont you think? twilight zone/outer limits style

[@igordasunddas3377]
