Author's Note: First, sorry for the slightly flat tone and enunciation thing, allergies slammed home this week, another reason to probably upgrade microphones. Second, before I jump into script writing on Tabby's Star & SETI I wanted to see if there were any general questions about either subject that should be addressed or clarified. I'm never too sure what is 'everybody knows' on topics like these, so if any important questions about either come to mind let me know in reply to this. Thanks! - Isaac
@kavjay8 жыл бұрын
Comtrya Isaac! Another fantastic episode. Regarding Tabby's Star, if it's not too technical, can you very briefly talk about observation techniques used to observe the star and possibly the data analysis techniques used to come to the conclusion on the luminosity of the star? Also congratulations on the recent surge in subscribers and the supporters. I think most of your online fans would agree that your new videos are the highlight of our week. Best regards.
@isaacarthurSFIA8 жыл бұрын
Yeah the uptick in subscriptions is nice, challenging too since I keep feeling I need to raise the bar :) I think we can cover observational techniques, it probably wouldn't hurt to have a general overview of all the major ones and their pros and cons for that matter. Good suggestion, and comtrya to you too, I always enjoyed that SG-1 episode.

That would be fascinating to hear. Regarding raising the bar, despite the fact that one must always strive to do better, do not feel obligated exhaust yourself. I just don't want you to reach a day in the near future where you get tired of doing this. Perhaps shorter videos or if it's a long topic split the video over few weeks or alternate between short and long videos. This may also give you an opportunity to work on other projects. I am being sincere when I say this, your videos are fantastic (both informative and entertaining) and they are one of the few things that make me optimistic for the future of our species. As you are a fan of scifi properties, try Stranger Things on Netflix. It has a very 80's and E.T./The Goonies feel to it.

Thanks Trajan, I also jumped the cable wagon some years ago, can't say I miss it. It had gotten to the point that beyond a favorite show or two the TV was pretty much stuck on a news channel or similar, and down the years I shifted a lot more to news radio and audiobooks for my background sound. Patreon-wise, of course I welcome the support, and it's fairly straight forward, it seems to be very solid and safe for creators and patrons alike. Many of the channels do offer nice boons too the patrons, part of why I'm planning the raffle, since at the moment the only actual boon my patrons get is that I always reply to them which right now I do for pretty much everyone though if the subscribers keep increasing at this rate I'll probably have to curtail that. Should you start using it and encounter any neat ideas other folks are doing for patron rewards let me know, I'm trying to build up a list of ideas on that score especially since the topic raffle seems to keep coming unglued :)

I have spent a little time imagining ways of weaponizing wormholes, and they are totally nuts! The most devastating weapon I can conceive of is one with one of its apertures opening in the center of a star. Any star will do, but a neutron star is probably tops. Choose the center of the star to ensure that mass will be expelled through the wormhole with the force equal to the pressure that prevents it from gravitationally collapsing. Being freed from that pressure by the wormhole, it would not only spew out quickly, but it would also expand explosively. You could easily blast the atmosphere off a planet with a relatively brief firing of the weapon. I haven't done the math, but I'm guessing even a basketball sized wormhole could probably get the job done in well under a second.

At 34:15, the concept of firing a weapon inside the enemy ship, for an intriguing analysis of what this tech could lead to, check out Schlock Mercenary and the weapons they refer to as Long Guns. It quickly spirals into a mutually-assured-destruction standoff. Also: Since you mentioned that traversing a wormhole would take time, what if general relativity pulls a fast one and maintains causality by making it take the same duration (in outside time) to travel through a wormhole pair as it would for light to travel between the two endpoints?
@macaroane4 жыл бұрын
For everyone else, observing you go in at time x an come on other end at time y, it would be exactly as that much time it would take you to go that distance by taking the outside route.

And if somehow we consider you went trough close to speed of light, then it is also fair to assume time dilation also applies to you

From what I can remember of SG1 theory, is that no matter can be sent through a wormhole, only radio waves, or other energy waves. The event horizon at the gate is a kind of transporter that de-constructs matter, converts it to a datastream and sends that through the wormhole. The stargate's technology sets one side as a transmitter, and one as a receiver, so the one-way limitation is due to the ancients making a decision to implement their tech in a certain way. It would suck to be walking into a gate as someone else was walking out. Love your work Isaac!

If he steps back through the wormhole (or the ship would stop), he would be back in his original speed of time (for instance the year 2250). This would not be timetravel.. If it would be possible to look through the wormhole to the ship, everything would just seem to move very slow.

Not a bad idea, though I'd be worried it might be rather short, I've explained it briefly in other videos on the Fermi Paradox but it is not really a thing with much detail to expand on. It's not a great scale, too short. I know I, and others, have tried to cobble together better ones, and I'd imagine Karadashev's probably wishes he could patch it too but it's pretty entrenched so he's probably the only one who could and he's in his mid-80s :)

I'm now imagining interstellar travel made easy by having a light sail tow one mouth of a wormhole to a distant habitable planet and dumping it there, while the light sail itself keeps traveling. This would eliminate one of the limitations with light sails (as I understand them), which is that you need some way to brake them at their destination.

At ~28:00 there is some discussion of time travel through wormholes. Arthur gives the example of a wormhole where one end makes a relativistic trip away and back, leaving the two ends of the wormhole 'out of synch' in time to an outside observer. And where a person traveling through the wormhole can travel back (or I suppose also forward) in time. Which is a fine example, but perhaps more complex than is needed. It seems as though *any* trip through a wormhole across a great enough distance breaks causality by transmitting information faster than light. Send one end of a wormhole to Proxima Centauri at non-relativistic speeds, and still anything which traverses the wormhole is sending information ~4 light years away in negligible time.

Stargate and Deep Space Nine are pretty much the best series ever when it comes to fun and interesting to watch. Lots of really awesome themes while keeping the characters from being boring. and they had Epic Wars and basically that's why i loved them the most. Sci fi action scenes are so AWESOME! sorry...nerd moment

Evi1M4chine I think the reason people like Sisko and DS9 is its a more realistic and less utopian vision of the future. The ideals of the Federation often bump up againsy reality in DS9. For example, the Federation doesn't use money, but every major species featured in DS9 does (Bajorans, Cardassians, and Ferengi). And Sisko often had to make tough decisions that Picard just wasn't in a place to make, being a war time Commander/Captain. I like both but for different reasons. Sisko acts like a contemporary human rather than Roddenberry's idealized version of a human, that's his appeal. And he's much less cold and distant with his crew compared to Picard. Picard was very aloof and private.

any scientists in the future who decide to start researching wormholes should be forced to watch the movie "event horizon" before beginning any work towards actually creating one. in fact, everyone on earth should watch that movie just because its a really cool movie. Oh, and excellent well thought out presentation of the subject as we've all come to expect on every subject from you (Mr. Dr.?) Arthur. You're one of those people that makes most of us begrudgingly admit "that guy is just way smarter than me". thanks for your videos.

the idea that destabilized wormholes can cause a nova level explosion is interesting, it is also in line with their portrayal in the lost fleet series where depending on how one is destroyed the explosion can annihilate an entire solar system and perhaps surrounding ones. if you haven't read that series then I highly recommend it.

My favorite analogy for wormholes is the magic doorway. You change places but you don't have a "middle place" to exit part way through

Hey isaac, if wormhole can connect to each other in some theories could there be wormholes within wormholes (dimension jumping basically lol)
@stevenpilling53186 жыл бұрын
I've wondered whether wormholes or something similar might naturally exist as the result of gravitational interactions between any two masses in space. I was glad that Isaac mentioned that the entrance to a wormhole would not be some two dimensional portal, but a 3D volume of influence. This would mean that you could approach the mouth of a wormhole from any direction. It would also mean, however, that you would emerge travelling unpredictably in any direction! Dr. Heisenberg would rule here.

What would happen if you put two wormhole mouths overtop and underneath each other, then somehow built a building in it where the second floor is built on the first and so on until the first floor is built on the top floor? Would it fall infinitely? Would it stay in place due to it resting on itself and itself resting on the already stationary it (which is in turn also resting on itself which is also stationary...)?

I feel like the naked singularity from a spinning black hole is the most realistic time machine wormhole or whatever it is, since it's basically already predicted by General Relativity, although you couldn't create one by just dumping stuff into a black hole at angles. It might work to chuck in spinning objects, though. Personally, I'm pretty skeptical about the assumption physicists seem to keep making that any closed timelike curves "break down causality" and therefore can't exist. I know there are some models of purely deterministic physical phenomena showing how a lot of apparent paradoxes caused by time-travel resolve themselves in definite ways, and there's no reason to think that quantum physics and general relativity would unite in a way that procludes timetravel being "inter-timeline travel" or creating new timelines either, since Many Worlds is already a very popular and reasonable interpretation of quantum mechanics, anyway.

I would love to have you revisit this topic to discuss Hawking's Micro-wormholes that he proposes are part of the quantum foam. I would also love to hear you discuss how non-non-traversable wormholes might be used for communication. If one could control and observe a wormhole, and if one could manipulate the exit mouth in an observable way, wormholes could serve as instantaneous communications devices even though no actual signal passed through the wormhole.

Idea in star gate is that gates work as a scanner and 3d printer by dissembling/assembling stuff. And than it transmits just information. And it makes sense to open two one-way worm holes (if only one way worm hole is allowed) to coordinate work of the printer and the scanner - so we don't end up creating clone or destroying basic copy before all data was transmitted. That's why you need a pair of gates to get it to work, because something should print the data. So, it's not possible to travel to a new place without a gate using this technology, space ships need to be used to install gates.

You were saying that you couldn't use wormholes as a perpetual motion machine because travelling from the bottom to the top mouth would use some of the kinetic energy and slow down the ball, any idea what would happen if one was to put a bomb near one mouth and detonate it? Would the shock wave still have enough force to harm someone standing at the other mouth?
