For a look into the early days of Humanities Expansion into the Cosmos in the Halo Universe, give Halo Legends a watch. Origins Part-II specifically, is a fascinating insight into Cortanas retelling of our history. amzn.to/3Cnh642

Imagine after decades of sending messages out into space, we finally get an alien response that translates as *"Please be quiet, or they will hear you".*

"this is going to be one" yeah, that would be some serious research that had to be done for this video, and I appreciate all of the work that you put into your videos.

I recall in a book, I think it was the art of halo, they mentioned that ships don't actually travel faster than light but rather they enter slipspace by crossing into other dimensions flow like rivers among eachother I imagine it sort of like a riptide you can swim in the surface to a boat along the surface or (if you can hold your breath long enough) dive under the surface and get pulled by a riptide that happens to pass under the boat faster than anyone could swim.

Heh the more you think about any ftl in a realistic manner the more head scratcher it is.

I think the future will look a lot like Elite: Dangerous, where both the Alcubierre Drive and a drive that creates a stable Einstein-Rosen bridge are combined into one, the Frame-Shift Drive. The FSD in Low Wake is the Alcubierre Drive and is used to travel inter-system distances. High Wake is used to travel to stars that are more than a light year away (creates the stable wormhole). The only difference between Slipspace Drive and a FSD is that with a FSD you can't control the arrival point. Near the body with the most mass in the system is where you'll end up at the end of the jump.

Ahhh, discussion of FTL and Physics. I can't wait for the brain-scratching and shorting out that comes with Causality and Relativity

The paradoxes are also based on the theory that time is fixed, or at least somewhat fixed, but it could also be possible that going back to your past makes that your present, forking the timeline and putting you in one where you were already in the past when you killed your younger self so continue existing as usual, same age as when you went back in time, still existing normally but now with a dead younger self, we cannot be sure of the complications of going back in time until we know how time works when the individual in question goes backwards instead of forwards

I'm deeply greatful for your content. I love the deep lore. Thanks mate.

Installation 00 is basically our universe Halsey at this point And I'm all for it

This channel is a gift. Every episode you suprise us with your intelligence and how solid the lore of Halo is

Coming back to watch this a third time so I can really absorb all this and take notes. Professor 00 is a stickler for details during midterms.

An alternate dimension always reminds me of a ocean you cannot see into. One wonders if native life is possible, and since it would have to adhere to completely different rules , would we even be able to notice that they are there.

1:27 "it should be relatively intuitive to follow along" *several minutes later* "...The null line... ...flipped around the null... ...world lines..." "...as the wormhole neck is a finite size, we wouldn't expect caustics to develop. This requires a violation of the average null energy condition..." Yes I very much understand this, these words and their definitions are indeed common knowledge and this explanation is *very* intuitive.

Man I love your breakdown of the Halo universe and reality.

10:43 For a more comprehensive dive into this part, it's important to think about how to transform the diagram between velocities. To highly gloss over the math and how this transformation looks (but there is a very good video series on it by MinutePhysics), if you shift perspectives between observers at different velocities, all sublight paths remain slower than light, but critically continue to point forward in time. However, FTL paths on a minkowski diagram can easily transform into time-travelling paths when subject to the same transformation. What does this mean in practice? If you engage your FTL drive while at rest relative to the Earth, then you appear to travel forward in time. But if you first accelerate to 90 percent the speed of light in the reverse direction THEN engage your FTL drive in the forward direction, then provided your FTL drive works the same at all velocities as it should (no preferred frames of reference allowed in physics) then an observer in Earth will see you speed off towards Alpha Centauri, _but in the opposite direction in time_ .

What is interesting was a few years ago one ‘lab’ findings confirmed micro worm holes. They appeared natural and were short lived. The ‘lab’ managed to stabilize one for a few microsecond. Which was orders of manatude longer than their unstable counter parts. While it was not traversable nor able to define its endpoint. It was a start to the ability for possiblle controlled wormholes. Yes, rainbow, enistin-ronsen bridges, exist and we can manipulate them. But not very well.

Keep moving forward and eventually we will see, Amazing vid m8.

I would love to see you do a deep dive on the history, battle of, and fall of Tribute. I feel like Tribute doesn’t get the love it deserves.

I’m sure someone will take issue with this but I just want to say thanks for being a normal guy who’s into halo and it’s universe. It seems like a lot of people who dive into fictional universes cant cope with the real one. I won’t go into detail of who these people usually are. Anyway thanks! Love the content!

I think you explained that very well! There’s so much that we don’t quite yet know, but it can be fun to simply ponder things like paradoxes. Seemingly impossible situations and how to manipulate them!

I read somewhere on the internet (that is probably not true) that the new state of matter, the Bose-Einstein Condensate shows promises of anti-gravity effect **but with more complicated terms that maybe I'm missreading** . Which, **if is actually true** , could allow us to achieve something akin to Alcubierre Warp Drive or Worm Holes. (I just hope it is not like Warhammer's 40k warp... 👀)

The great part I love about discussions like this is that someone can't even disprove this by saying, "well halo is set 500 years in the future so it'll all be worked out by then." We still consistently refer back to people in history like Plato or other greek philosphers who were born over two thousand years ago. As well as other philosophers who even if their their theories weren't exactly right, they're still acknowledged. Same with this. Even though we're talking about a fictional universe, trying to make sense of it and apply real world applications to it to try and see if it could be real is what is so fascinating about it.

Appreciate your content, consistent, in depth. Cheers.

Great presentation! I'm a QFT man myself, and I don't suspect the graviton to be anything other than a mathematical utility, but it's interesting to see how Halo uses these advanced theories and still finds room to have fun by introducing fictional ideas like reconciliation. Most sci-fi, even hard sci-fi either under explains the science, or says "because aliens," rather than creating fictional science to patch the holes in real science. It may be completely unfounded or not testable, but it's more grounded and believable than offering no explanation at all - at least for me. I like to think of reconciliation like a bubble that has formed on a very thin layer of liquid of a flat surface; that bubble pops, and space needs to "heal" by filling the negative space that the bubble left. Unlike water from my previous example, which fills that negative space by attracting to itself via the +/- charges of oxygen and hydrogen, the mechanism of reconciliation could be more like a quintessent field. Instead of polarity, space itself could fundamentally (for lack of a better word:) vibrate. Space has a charge of zero, so using an analogy based on polarity may be odd, so hears another For example, a pile of sand will flatten out if the surface it's on begins to vibrate. Perhaps reconciliation can be pictured as a hole formed in a (vibrating) sandbox using a (warpdrive) shovel. After a short time, that hole will fill itself, allowing another hole to form, but not before. Anyway, that's sort of my point - I appreciate that Halo goes into detail because it inspires you to investigate said details, and it's how we get videos like this!

This is my area of research for my Theoretical physics masters. Very good job in describing this in a very easy to follow manor. :D

Starting off with a deep breath, this should be good.

I'm not sure if I was part of your decision to make this video, but I'm a completely satisfied. You have covered the topic greatly.

These types of videos always give me a very strong yearning to lock myself up in my room and study Classical/Quantum mechanics, Math, Laws of nature Etc, to invent some type of space travel device... Mechanical engineering was the best I could muster so far. Anyways, great video as always :)

There's a reason Halo is science fiction while Star Wars, Star Trek, and most other 'sci-fi's are science fantasies. I absolutely love the care they put into making sure everything makes somewhat sense scientifically speaking.

Great video, thanks for the work.

For geopolitical & socioeconomic strategic reasons, I don't see manned interstellar travel being probable without a form of viable FTL. For the possibility of Slipspace or something similar I'm cautiously hopeful for it. As said in the video, we know space can move at FTL & wormholes are theoretically possible; that combined with better understanding of gravity, time/quantum mechanics, & hypothetical paradox reconciliation, it's a maybe. The universe is a big place. It'd be a waste for us not to be able to explore its grand wonders.

Fantastic video as usual! Love the way you present content. A quick note on Einstein-Rosen bridges though: they exclusively lead to other universes (assuming other universes exist) and are generally considered to be non-traversable, at least in the "human beings making it to the other side intact" sense. The direction of travel would also be strictly one way due to the nature of the event horizons on either side.

Excellent show!

The start was on point!😂😂❤❤

I'm going to need to listen to this like a dozen times till wrap my head around it

Most of this I had no idea what was happening, but it sounded pretty cool

Any Project Mjolnir updates? Loving the science lore videos, and waiting with anticipation for the CAS Supercarrier video.

Amazing work trying to describe the undescribable

I am learnig and practicing My English with tour videos, thanks

Great video as always. As for how FTL drives might work, I think Galatica Fold Drive might be it. We talk about that all the time in SciFi but not to that level since people believe that the matter between the two points 'Must' fold as well. But why? I think if we really start to understand things this might be the way it will go. Since its basically dealing sub-space or trans-dimensional space it doesn't necessarily have to deal with normal space at all. Until someone else that wants to prove how smart they are finds a different method. Which I am sure that is what going to happen. Because we just can't leave well enough alone.

hell yeah love these explanation videos

Awesome explenetion about time in light speed ❤

It hurt my brain but I understood it. Nice job 👍

Way cool. Love your channel

The diagram worked really well, need to learn how to better visualise concepts for my students here. Thanks for the example, m8.

I do not believe FTL will ever be possible in our universe but it is interesting to discuss

the result of paradoxes of most concern would either create a time loop, or create a new branch

You're our Stephen Hawking. We appreciate you man!

12:27 The best way I can explain how to pronounce the name is "Rai-chow-dhu-ri", shorten the "chow" bit and pronounce "rai" as you pronounce "rye", the plant (Indian mentioned, yay!)

An interesting thought for food pertaining to paradoxes (where no matter how much logic you throw at it, one cannot logic their way out of a paradox) - Are paradoxes in the sense of time even real? Certainly, I can cause a paradox right here and now, but this paradox is very limited, and quite harmless. If I for example go: "This sentence is false." - One can simply stop twirling in circles (aka - stop thinking about it) to escape the paradox. The same if I were to tell you that you must follow these instructions, and then informed you that you must not think about the instructions, after which I asked you what we were just talking about (the paradox comes as in order to do either, you must in some way recall the instructions in order to try and avoid talking them, thus ergo, a paradox.) As currently (perhaps for the best really) nobody can cause a time paradox to occur (at the very least, so anyone knows about it), what says time paradoxes are even a thing? As we clearly don't understand very much about the rules that govern the universe currently (and probably will never figure all of them out), is there any proof that says a time paradox is nothing more than just an entertaining thought game we humans play in story telling on account of time being still a vague and mysterious concept in many regards? Considering also we are kinda dummies and cannot comprehend some things, no matter how much we think about them, without using a bunch of numbers and symbols to theorize on these things existing (string theory for example, which while very interesting I for the life of me cannot see practical usage for down the line without catastrophic results coming out of it as humans meddle with things that cannot be just put in a box, and you need a ton of math to merely take a glimpse at, as after all, we create enough messes with things we can just poke with a stick in a physical sense already), who says time paradoxes ain't just us making stuff up with our silly monkey brains thirsty for some logic or rhyme in reason to explain things in a universe that thrives on chaos and where order is but a fleeting illusion? Or! If they indeed do exist, it reasons as speculated in the video here that the universe must have an autocorrection feature of some sort (or some entities have taken it upon themselves to play time cop and fix any such damage, which is even more far stretched if you ask me than the universe itself just sorting these things out, cause why a species would dedicate themselves to such a role that takes up all of their time and resources just wouldn't make too much sense) to deal with these instances, as otherwise with how old the universe is (thus logically meaning there are probably far older species than humanity bumping around, or having bumped around in the billions of years of time) certainly someone somewhere would have broken it beyond repair already by meddling around with the spacetime continuum, and having an accident/derping it up due to a miscalculation or two. Especially if you factor in that there is likely no way to detect when a paradox occurs, or has occurred, because of it all being relative, unless catastrophic damage to the space-time continuum results in damage that everyone else can detect as something seriously being wrong. Then again, there are those funky regions of space like the Booths void that could (hey, nobody knows, so I can speculate too) very well be the result of a paradox occurring there, and so are scar tissue in the fabric of the universe. Ones that seem to be growing too, so...oh dear. Side note: I bet slipspace related travel accidents are probably not fun. Quite a dangerous way to travel should anything go wrong. But then again, that's the same for space travel as a whole. It's frankly amazing to think about how the Halo universe doesn't have a ton of cautionary tales being told about slipspace travel accidents. Bet those ships have a ton of redundant systems in case one vital system fails, to ensure accidents don't result in bad stuff happening.

Personally I think slipspace or anything in the FTL travel is finding a way to manupiulate gravity, as we see that gravity (in terms of a black hole) is stronger/faster than the speed of light.

I think we must develop FTL to survive as a species if only because the sun will destroy the earth and the solar system eventually. Also are need for resources will push us out of the solar system. If we have to do that at sub light speed we will until we can reach FTL. And considering how far we have come in are understanding of the universe in the last 100 years or so we will achieve this dream. I just hope we are all still alive to see it, even if its from our death beds. It might just take the right mad scientist to crack the mystery at last.

Just imagine how long it took the scientist in the Halo universe to figure out that they need a shield before the apples that they threw through a portal would come out. Also, this video madee think back to the book 'The Forever War,' if yiu have ever read that.

Given all I know about Quantum physics and science in general, and being an avid sci fi fanatic, I'm able to agree completely with your assessment of the situation. In my opinion, I believe slip space or something similar will be the only mode of transportation at superluminal speeds throughout the cosmos.

Another good video.

So one thing I've always thought of is frame of reference and how that would effect you if you essentially teleported in anyway. Imagine if you were on one side of the planet and then teleport to the other, you are going the other direction unless you somehow rotated your frame of reference. Then there is teleporting to anywhere that wasn't Earth like a space station, the speed of the Earth's surface is going to be different than the satellite. So if you can't get more speed you slam into the hull of the ship and you are still "falling" even though you are no longer under the effect of the majority of gravity. Then you scale that to the galactic scale, if you go from one part of a galactic arm to a point closer or further how is everything moving according to you? This is before you even touch upon the potential time traveling.

8:29 With you? Nope. But continue. 😅 In all seriousness, I just don't buy into Slipspace or Subspace. In order to travel farther than light can in a given amount of time you have to manipulate the very fabric of space-time itself or find a method of artificially reducing mass in a contained area around the ship. Problem with reducing mass is that reduction of the mass of the ship would result in everything inside being reduced which would likely have undesirable physical effects on the bodies of the crew. Also I don't think causality paradoxes can ever be formed. I think time is something we can not break, but rather perhaps we may find behaviors of time that we have yet be able to utilize to our advantage.

So. On the topic of FTL creating time paradoxes. If we assume that FTL is indeed possible than we can also assume that the reason we don't have it is because something about our math is wrong. We don't know what, but we seem pretty certain that something is indeed wrong. My example is simple. Just because it takes us X amount of years to see something happen on another planet doesn't mean that it didn't happen yet. 5 minutes passed is still 5 minutes passed and it would therefore be impossible for a ship no matter how fast it is traveling to be able to intercept itself before it left. FTL data would be the same. Just because it took light 10 years to make it from Reach to Earth doesn't mean that a message than can be transmitted in minutes could be responded to before it was sent. It just means that we would not be able to see visually any sign of that signal by non-FTL means for 10 years.

By the way, Time and Space actually reverse under extreme conditions, an example is black holes, near the event horizon in the ergosphere space moves too fast to the point where it is impossible to stand still without reaching the speed of light, and below and below the outer horizon time and space are completely reversed at least from our point of view, space becomes like time only allowing movement in one direction, but and any movement regardless of direction just makes you reach your destination (The singularity) faster, the singularity becomes a point in future time rather than a location in space, while time dilation breaks down completely to the point that everything that has ever fallen and will fall into the black hole is there at the same time allowing contact between regions of time just like space. These properties revert back to the inner horizon when the centripetal force of the black hole's spin or (possibly) even the electromagnetic charge overcomes the force of gravity and the "observer" stops falling at FTL speed, it's curious how gravity is so weak that it loses dominance to the other forces even in a black hole when given absurd enough conditions. This is all theory based on models and obviously not observed in a real black hole, we can do similar things with analogies but is it possible that the forces reunite under these conditions and the result is something completely different we just don't know.

You did good.

While not brought up in lore. Can't communications be done in an 'FTL' manner in quantum entanglement if it's able to be wholly manipulated when 100% scientific proof for long distance quantum swapping is made?

This breakdown on trying to understand Slipspace Travel is on that level of other sci-fi ideas of faster than light travel. With the whole Warp Travel in Star Trek or Hyperspace Travel in Star Wars. To which both have their concepts and one is faster than the other. Being Hyperspace Travel is faster. Though the issue with Hyperspace is that it is like a Super Highway through space. You have to know where to jump in at and hope to maintain that route or end up crashing into a rock in space or a star. Then, there is the issue that Hyperspace Lanes, is that they move and have to be mapped out. Plus even some of these lanes lost, dangerous to travel, or are highly guarded secrets. Makes it easy to control the flow of travel for an Empire that wants to rule over the Galaxy, or a Rebel group wanting to get around to fight said Empire. Warp Travel is something within Star Trek that the ships enter into a plane of existence called "Subspace". Explaining it is like a plane between two planes of existence. The way a ship enters into this plane is by creating a bubble around the ship, or a "Subspace Warp Bubble". The speeds of these ships range over the centuries of the lore. Where in the early years of Space Travel. Ships could go at a speed of like Warp 20. Though in more recent years the scale has changed to the max speed for Warp Travel is 9.99. Which is 9.99 times faster than the speed of light. And going over that into Warp 10. That enters into the realm of Infinite Speed. And let us NOT talk about any of that. All the while. Star Trek also introduced in other forms of travel within the lore. That is Transwarp Travel. This form of travel uses a whole different method of FTL travel. And it ranges from the Starfleet experimenting with it to go faster than Warp 10 without having those unspoken side effects. Though early efforts were sabotaged by a Scottish man...anyone that knows Star Trek Lore will know who I am talking about. Yet, later it has been reopened with access of some more...alien tech. That is the Borg's version of Transwarp Travel. The Borg use a network of gates that allows their ships to travel vast distances quickly and with little power usage from their ships. These gates can pretty much allow the Borg to travel from their "Home Sector" of space, which is in the Deta Quadrant. And end up attacking anything within the Alpha Quadrant within Hours or even less. Transwarp Gates do have a major weakness. If the gate is destroyed while any ship is traveling between. The lane it is traveling dissolves and either the ship is destroyed due to being violently thrown back into real space. Or is just violently thrown back into real space. Completely lost. Still, Starfleet within the lore had been working on a smaller version that doesn't require literal station size gates. And as I was writing this. I remembered, Stargate's traveling method. Though, I don't think that really counts. Being it is a literal gate and need to dial in a number to connect two points. And traveling is nearly instance. While, Slipspace, Hyperspace, and Warp/Transwarp travel methods all have a time cost. It takes time to travel those vast distances. Even at those speeds and no matter the method to keep the ship from suffering the time dilation. Also, I know I wrote this all out and I could have errors in it. Really, it is all made up sci-fi stuff. Writers one day can say one thing. The next will say something that contradicts what they said before. Even in some bits of lore will either overestimate the time or underestimate the time or end up making it where a fleet pops right above earth in a split second after making the jump from the other end of the galaxy. These are all stringed together theories and made up numbers. There is no real facts. Other than attempts to make it sound plausible.

If you want to look more into traversable wormholes for slipspace theories look into stargate just a thought and suggestion

Manned flight was deemed impossible by experts a mere nine weeks before the Wright Brothers made it happen. I have every confidence that FTL travel will end up following a similar course -- we'll spend years and years, maybe even decades or centuries chasing it, and just when all the experts have concluded that it can't be done some madlads with a different spin on the problem will "crack the code" and turn it into a viable technology. At least, they'd damn well better. Without some sort of FTL, humanity is doomed in the long term -- our entire species will end if just one significant enough disaster hits Earth, because all of our population "eggs" are "in one (planetary) basket".

Just starting the video but after the intro. I bet Slipspace is a form of wormhole travel and that you need strong enough shields to handle it because your flying through a black hole. How correct am I?

So what you're saying is since these extra dimensions don't have the same rules regarding time and distance you can achieve large distances in short amounts of time without technically going faster than light. So this doesn't mess up causality or cause one to accidentally create a time machine.

Your good. I could understand everything you said.....And yes wormholes and slipspace are possible. In fact we already have the technology to do so. The problem is the scale. Our first ships to travel at FTL speeds will have to be enormous by definition. All of our technologies are basically imitations of the natural world. And so to imitate we have to study first. Same thing with space travel we first imitated birds and then we developed rockets and through trial and error we learned how to get into space. We won't be traveling at FTL speeds for another century at least. If we started construction today it would take that long to build our first deep space- space station where we can truly test these technologies, without destroying our world.

Maybe its like time travel, where if one where to imagine all the various branches of deviation as seperate channels/frequencies with our universe being set to particular numerical notation. As nothing in the universe can ever deviate from the direction of its constant, ie your walking down the street and you go left instead of right, your set path is based on that left, within realities constant you would never have gone right, so the;n split in time occurs outside of this localized event in another branch with minor numerical deviation. As you go about your day threw time its all "set in stone" from the 4d observer position, But from the 3d observer position it appears as if theirs choice. That specific timeline probably resonates a very specific frequency that distinguishes it from those split variances, so slip space might be able to fast forward you along that distinct channel, keeping in tune with that realities phase resonance pattern so that you didnt accidently pop out in universe b, where you took that right, when your from universe a where you take that left. This is extremely oversimplified. Now lets try and complicate this, if 3d space has an x, y, z coordinate system, planets generate their own resonance pattern, gravity fields effect atomic resonance, the local systems star via various factors from heliosphere, gravity, etc affects that resonance pattern. As well as the gravity "valleys" that are generated by an entire galaxy upon time/space, everytime the ship enters slipspace when it has to form a bubble of localized time space it auto generates a very specific resonance pattern respective of that channel. The time delineation comes from energy and mass, where if we take gokus instant transmission, goku is teleporting a very small amount of mass using an absurd amount of energy so when he phase shifts his body from point to point theirs little to no variance in time respective towards space. However he probably spends very little time "inbetween spaces" as he locks on to the coordinate system of the being hes locked onto. However because theirs exponentially more mass, and those ships have nowhere near the energy that goku has (even low power beings like king vegeta still has enough power to destroy entire planets) they have vastly slower speeds. Since its not a literal time machine they have to project along universe a's casaul/temporal telemetry. Because they entire slipspace with a snippet of localized time/space it keeps its frequency resonance pattern aligned with universe a, even though time delineation happens. While faster then light requires infinite energy it sounds like slipspace goes to a dimension of altered time/space where the energy within its dimensions is vastly larger then the energy that makes up universe a. All the ship has to do is make its way to this higher energy state, using encapsulation then somehow draw on that energy to traverse threw that "in between" place, before arriving at a rough estimation of x, y, z, u1/g123/s321/p3/17:00/(1/2/2025). (universe 1/galaxy 123/star 321/planet 3/at 17:00 on date 1/2/2025. Only the actual number would be extremely specific requiring localized time/space vectors overlapping celestial movement vectors along with resonance alignment vectors. So that you didnt pop out in universe b, where humans lost the war instead of universe a, where humans won the war. Which youd never be able to tell. So yes its entirely possible, not only for halo but in real life.

Perhaps, say a crew departs on a an ftl equipped craft and moves on the superluminal side of the scale, only to (like you said) return like two weeks before they left. Instead of creating causality loops maybe the previous form gives way to the current form through super positioning of the individual atoms in the crew’s bodies as well as the ship, which would appear to the rest of the world as if they vanished and reappeared where they landed upon return. Or perhaps the conscious leaves the previous vessel and the body and living being are apparent at the same time. I confess this is certainly simply a guess based on a completely surface knowledge of quantum physics.

In some of the earlier books they talk about naturally occurring matter travelling through slipspace, How does that figure into this? If only causation was instant instead of limited by the speed of light

Remember when it comes to our knowledge of the universe we essentially are playing cards while learning the rules

Damn. That was a whole semester of advanced physics in 20min!! Too big for my brain 🧠 Well presented though

1,460x the speed of light is how fast my dad wakes up to me sneaking around in the kitchen

My opinion on the subject is simple. We live in and perceive four dimensional space (space-time) and all the fundamental laws apply to all the axes. Such as "objects in motion stay in motion, objects at rest stay at rest, unless acted on by an outside force." When you do that and visualize it properly, a lot of the difficulties in understanding things vanish... and it becomes far easier to see how gravity and acceleration effects work. You should see earth's mass-field as a series of 3-d shadows with the change over time making it the appropriate 4d space-time structure. Gravity is an... echo. Our imagined fictions are closer to reality than you might think. The very fact that we can conjure them is a sign. And people who are working on it will get it a lot sooner than anyone expects. After all, in an infinite universe everything always happens everywhere always - just not always in plain sight and not in the exact same place at the exact same time.

If I remember right, doesn’t slipspace get around the whole FTL causality thing by never technically going FTL? I can’t remember which book it was in, maybe First Strike, but I remember reading that you aren’t actually going FTL, but that places are closer together in the tangled dimensions of Slipspace.

What if we worked out Warp AND wormholes/hyper dimensional space or Slip Space if you will. That would mean we could travel faster even in a hyper dimension and likely travel near instantaneous. I strongly suspect that dark matter may be negative matter creating the effects of dark energy witnessed on the galactic scale. Negative matter in turn would be extremely similar IMO to element zero allowing objects to obtain negative mass allowing for FTL travel, All three of these would be compelling indeed. I'm no physicist just an open-minded thinker.

Is it true Halo's Slipspace 5th dimensional in powerscaling terms? Now that I think about it across Halo lore Slipspace when it's used as a weapon it is extremely powerful and potent in attack potency. Even UNSC Slipspace reactors can cause a star to explode and destroy a extremely durable Forerunner Dyson sphere completely negating the durability of the material Forerunners made. If that is so this would make the Forerunners even more powerful in a powerscaling perspective and may actually be able to harm other more hyper advance Sci Fi vessels made by factions like the Xeelee from Xeelee Sequence who survive hypernovas and black holes casually. I guess Forerunners vs Xeelee might be a bit more closer on some level when it comes to attack potency then most assume. I think Forerunners have used Slipspace to detonate stars. Maybe a Xeelee Nightfighter can be harmed by the Forerunners with Slipspace weaponry.

You covered the topic very well under the constraints of what is currently believed. But honestly either FTL is impossible or we lack enough understanding that FTL is as impossible as a smartphone would have been impossible to people from the early 1800s. Additionally just 10 years ago the idea of a reusable rocket was laughable and that kind of close minded stance infuriates me.

I remember back in the day when they said Mass Effect was hard Sci Fi, when it had even more fucking Handwavium than Warhammer 40,000 and Star Wars at times, and the Reapers whole motive for committing Galactic genocide was to prevent organics from automating and creating AIs. On the subject of their FTL, they travel it by reducing their mass to zero. At best, the only velocities they would get using such methods would be lightspeed, basically. Even 40k has more realistic FTL than Mass Effect, a universe where the only way to even travel FTL is to punch a hole in reality and travel through space hell, psionically, often ending with the crew coming out... not quite right, or in some cases, traveling to their destination thousands of years in the past, before the threat they were sent to address even happened. That is one of the reasons why I like the Halo and 40k universes; they at least acknowledges the Causality violations it may or may not cause.

warp bubbles make you a space surfing G

I guess something like particle reconciliation can exist through how Hawking radiation operates. Thoughts?

I believe slip space could be the way we get to other worlds, but because of time dilation, I don’t think we would logistically allow for any travel beyond one or two light years, maybe five, but I think at that point it would be too impractical

It's supposed to be pronounced as "Rah-eh-chou-dhoo-ree" Theorem (the vowels are a bit subtly pronounced), but hey, you did your best.

Yay

Hypothetically, a ship using nuclear-powered ion thrusters and a brachistochrone trajectory could reach Alpha Centauri with a human life time. At 9.8m/s/s acceleration/deceleration, it would take approximately 4 years one way, assuming the math is correct. I guess in the grand scheme of things, that's not super fast, but for what is currently possible with our present technology (more, or less - the hardest parts would honestly just be the shear cost and assembling a ship in orbit) that's not too bad.

I admire the great lengths you have to go to dumb down some of the crazy pseudo realistic physics technobabble for the rest of us.

If instillation00 made courses on how halo is possible with real means and how to make it so I would pay top dollar for it.

What if the speed of light isnt the same from all references. What if at the speed of light you emit another light like a flashlight is that new light traveling at double the speed of light as observed from ann on earth? A Speculative question just though would be fun to explore!

Personally i think slip-space a lot better than the standard ftl methods just because of how much more believable it is

probably going to be more like the expanse where slingshot coordinates around heavy gravity planets and stars for fast but sub light speed may give rise to reaching a velocity speeds and provide theory to going faster.......imagine slingshoting around edges of an event horizon to get to .85 of light speed..number plucked from head

It better be, or else we’ll be screwed when the Covenant arrive!

that would be very cool if that happen in my lifetime😆

My head hurts 😅

there is exactly 1 thing i believe in - an unshakable fact - humanity will (evtl) travel the stars. it would be unbearably for me otherwise.

I know that my theories on this channel are brief, confusing, and outright ridiculous, but I want to add something that this video made me think of. Maybe if there's multiple dimensions and universes, why haven't we seen or detected them? My answer is what if it isn't quantum, but chronological? What I'm trying to say is that we haven't seen any other dimensions or universes is because they're on another timeline that we can't even keep up with. It isn't our time to see or access these dimensions. To me, time is the decay of matter, not the sequence of existence and events. The decay of matter being from energy released by the Big Bang to stars, nebulae, planets, and galaxies in a Chronological Universe. Even from primordial matter to DNA, microscopic organisms, and animals. Atoms are a unit in time. Some day we will be able once we create chronological technology (technology that manipulates time) that allows us to access other dimensions for FTL as you discussed in this video. Perhaps as we're going through slipspace we'll see different positions of stars, planets, and galaxies, because they were in another timeline. So when it seems like we're going somewhere, technically we're in the same spot. That's why Nostradamus made his predictions, because he knew the power of time creating space. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thank you.

I believe paradoxes don't/can't exists as time only exist as the present or events on a timeline but the flow of time only has the present as a result even if one encounters a past self and stopped them from traveling back in time nothing would happen to the one who did it first because the event has already happened to them and can't be undone even with time travel as a result that ship that returned would become a new ship in space time that should not exist but does however it will still operate like any other ship and nothing will change and if it destroys its past self nothing will happen to it, think of it as a different version of the ship the moment it uses time and therefor just like a twin the death of one doesn't effect the other that's what my own logic tell me at least though I am still open for discussions on the topic! As because of these reasons I don't think the universe itself would have any system for something that would never occur and even if it did the universe is not alive and therefor could do nothing!

Let's hope FTL is more like Halo's Slipspace and less like W40K's Warp.

“What if instead of accelerate an object to the speed of light, we simply accelerate the speed of light itself.” - unknown physicist before leading to a potentially eldrich horror setting.

For me, interstellar/FTL communications would depend on using transponders that are quantumly entangled. One transponder is at the relay point and the other is on the ship. They are quantumly entangled, so any information that is relayed through that device will arrive instantaneously at its destination. The quantum state of the transponder will just need to be translated into binary at the sending and receiving ends so that they are readable. This could be done to as high a degree as needed depending on band width.
