FASTER THAN LIGHT: The Dream of Interstellar Flight 4k

Next-generation rocket technology, now in development, is fueling the dream of traveling across the void by exploiting the physics of extreme speed.
The dream of venturing into the unknown, to see what's over the horizon, is as old as humanity. Today scientists believe our galaxy is filled with planets similar to Earth. But if one proves habitable, how will we ever get there? Can NASA take us? What are futuristic engineers conjuring up in their labs? Next-generation rocket technology is not just for blockbuster movies. It's on the drawing board now as scientists investigate the mind-bending physics of extreme speed.

[@mauriceholloway8913]

If we didn’t fight among each other and use our collective knowledge, we could be able to travel distance stars like Star Trek

[@Rageclawz]

Amin brother , we will never colonise other planets until Earth will become a single collective with a single senate and no countries that each have agendas of getting/fighting over resources, and NO i dont have tyranical views ,but this is the truth ,if we don't have the same goal as a race we will never go to the stars .

[@bobjohnson7207]

Humans can't even go to Mars let alone another Star. It's about time to realize that fact and look after the Earth.

[@joshDilley]

We definitely will outgrow earth in a few hundred years. #yolo

[@macbuff81]

They are not mutually exclusive. In fact, space research has already benefited Earth. Given that our population is increasing, it also makes sense that we colonize other worlds. Material science has also already advanced since production of material in space allows for material properties that cannot be replicated under the gravity of Earth as experiments on the ISS have shown. This will likely benefit medical science as well.

[@JonDeth]

It's even worse than that, but the average person's education in science is genuinely parroting what they see and hear on TV, and taking it all on faith, we are brainwashed into believing we understand things at a common sense level but are patently wrong. *My formal education requires relativistic quantum mechanics, condensed matter physics and classical mechanics, and the grim truth behind the way we're being robbed blind by NASA for 70-million dollars a day is truly sickening, but trying to reason with the average person is a lost cause.* We will never send human beings to Mars. With current technology, we will never send man to the moon. Mankind has been brainwashed into believing the ruling class can actually control nature, but it's all a lost cause. *What we need to focus on is the health of our species and the pollution we're installing directly into our immediately surrounding environment.* The last 2 generations are riddled with misfits due to exposure to these chemicals like atrazine and now, a percentage believe they are the opposite gender they scientifically and factually are. NASA should be privatized, stripped up their budget and that money used to help solve that problem and more.

[@sarahdabardayan7465]

​@@macbuff81Actually, world populations are heading in the opposite direction. That doesn't mean it is safe to remain on one planet. One major astronomical mishap and it will be as if we never existed. No, we need to stretch out of the womb though it be difficult snd inconvenient.

[@racerx1777]

[@rezadaneshi]

Embarking on near light speed travel, leaves the traveler with no one to report back to, and no one aware of the arrival, in fact if anyone exists when the traveler slows down having travelled into far future.

[@johnpaulcolthrust8207]

Yes, But if the trip is just 4 light years to Proxima the time dilation cannot exceed 4 years. It will not be hundreds or thousands of years.

[@1cyanideghost]

A one-year journey to a star 4 light-years away at 80% the speed of light would only take 3.12 years for the crew, while 10 years would have passed on Earth.

[@rezadaneshi]

[@dehweh2297]

The only way, interstellar travel would make sense, is if we can build our own habitats. To not be dependent on the accidental earth like planet. Then, pretty much every solar system would be a destination.

[@louisfrank6918]

We will have to have robots caring for embryos and they will be born upon arrival this is how multi generational travel could occur.

[@louisfrank6918]

Only way is automated parents to develop fetuses then we can colonize off world.

[@LynxRagdolls]

Amazing graphics, well done 👏

[@ozziehodge4139]

😞😞😞 This makes me question why we are even here. All the habitat planets in the universe, why were we placed here. So far from all others, that we'll never be able to explore or learn from them, at least not in our lifetime anyway. So why put us here! Is mankind destined to be alone in the universe!

Surely a nicely produced and entertaining thought experiment. Even with exponential growth of both knowledge and physical capabilities it may take us a few centuries to come close, if at all possible.

[@kjvail]

How far and how fast? Sadly, not very far and not very fast. We have made almost zero progress in propulsion since the 1960s. We are still using chemical rockets, which will struggle to even reach another nearby, planet and forget the outer solar system. It still takes decades to send a small, unmanned probe. Sure, we can find exoplanets, getting good at that but we have zero options for getting there.

[@ObamanableSnowman]

We used a lot before we used nuclear. Energy extraction and use are advancements that come in leaps and bounds. We have ideas for potential methods of acceleration that could get us where we want to be. It’s just a matter of doing pure physics research and putting money into it.

[@robberbarron8161]

No no no! Light can't escape a black hole, yet there's a strong neutrino signature from Sag A so apparently neutrinos are literally faster than light because they are flung by strong gravity. Start there.

[@jroar123]

To explore the galaxy, we need to realize that those currently alive on Earth will never live long enough to explore any data sent back home. Exploring distant stars and planets can only be done by looking into the past. To see the present would take several lifetimes.

The distance to even the nearest star, while staggering, is still FINITE. Pluto is 6 billion kilometers away. The nearest star Proxima Centauri is 4.2 light years away and equates to traversing approximately 40,000 billion kilometers. Even at the speed of light 300,000KM/sec, it takes light 1 year to complete 9,461 out of those 40,000 billion kilometers. Within the next 500 years humanity should be able to obtain 10% light speed (30,000KM/sec) and reach Proxima in about 40 years.

Man is not meant for interstellar travel. Other than there being a million ways space travel can kill you, the problem with matter in motion through space at high velocities is time dilation. Say even at 20 percent the speed of light for 5 years could mean a time dilation of tens of thousands of years into the future at your return. I would think that even a much advance civilization capable of light speed would even consider interstellar travel. The risk would be too high for even the best of hoped for results of such a venture.

However we seem to overlook exploring our own bodies of water fully, top to bottom. Wouldn't we need to master exploring our own bodies of water, developing new technology through innovation and discovery: (1) to explore our own planet and (2) to give us the ability to explore water elseware Yes, the mystery of space is alluring, and now we can see more of it using the JWST. When is the science and space community going to produce someone who has enough "STROKE" to get them to realize this. I did not mention Hydrology or Oceanography because I believe they know this already.
