That wouldn't work, because there is a fundamental difference: -light has no mass- photons have no rest mass. An object with a mass would need an infinite amount of energy to reach the speed of light, meaning the speed of light itself isn't attainable for matter. However, a similar system with a solar sail theoretically permits to approach very close to the speed of light. It would take an incredibly long time, given the explanation of Daniel Lupton below.

@@raycharlz4937 Well light has energy and therefore mass. A photon has no rest mass, but they all have energy and momentum. A solar sail takes advantage of that momentum. The real problem is that at relativistic speeds, any light hitting the back of the sail would be red-shifted to the point where it has no energy from the perspective of the vehicle. If you did reach or exceed the speed of light, there wouldn't be any photons that could catch up to "push" the car.

@@daniel.lupton I agree, light has energy, therefore mass. And the fact that it would have almost no energy to give because of the red shift is correct too. But the core part of my explanation still stands, an object with mass can't ever reach the speed of light, it can only approach it because it would need an infinite amount of energy. Then the solar sail can't go faster than light even if we found a way to continue to supply it with energy. I updated my other comment to take yours into account.

the major problem with reaching the speed of light is *Mass*.

Well wind particles are air... Air has mass even if a little it adds up. Light however has no mass. That's why photons only travel at light speed. The energy is dividing by zero and reaching infinity which is the amount of energy required to reach light speed

Its only bad for the people left behind as the closer you get to the speed of light the less time that passes for you relative to the universe

If your travelling at the speed of light, time for you travels slower. So if you were going at the speed of light, time would completely stop for you, so it would take literally no time to go to the place you were going to, but for everyone else at Earth, they would age a year for every light year you travel. So if you travelled 1million light years, in the traveller's perspective, no time has passed, but to people on Earth, 1million years has passed.

Sadly, no, but it's a really cool reason. From your perspective, you are sitting inside a spaceship that is going near the speed of light. Awesome! send me the schematics. You start running forward. You would make it from one end of the space ship to the other in what you perceive to be a normal amount of time, and you think that you're traveling faster than the speed of light. Eventually, you're journey ends, and you get off of the space ship to collect your nobel prize, only to find that hundreds of years have passed in what you thought was only a few minutes. See, the really weird thing about Einstein's theory of relativity is something called Time Dilation. The closer you get to the speed of light, the slower you move through time. So, from an outside perspective, the spaceship is moving at 99.9999999999% (10 decimal places) the speed of light, and you are moving at 99.99999999999% (11 decimal places) the speed of light inside it. You are still moving faster than it, but only by an infinitesimal amount. This phenomenon has actually been experimentally observed in satellites with hyper-accurate atomic clocks. As the satellite goes faster and faster, the clock starts ticking slower and slower. So, from the satellite's perspective, it is following newton's standard F = ma. But from the perspective of us mere earthlings, it follows the relativistic form of the equation.

No, the faster you go, the slower time goes for you

Kids are dumb. Let me share a story with you. I was 13 or 14 and the history teacher came to the class and she said "you guys are becoming old enough to get informed about politics. You should read about it, talk about it with other people, exchange ideas and form your opinion on things and so on". A kid responded "yeah, but i don't want to. I'm not even old enough to be able to vote in an election, why should I care?" I couldn't hold myself (and i disliked that kid) then I raised my hand and said on spot "well, you are also not old enough to have a driver's license, yet you spend the whole time here at school talking about cars and so on. Forming a political opinion matters to everyone, the earlier the better" I felt embarrassed, the whole class looked at me in the same second. The teacher raised her eyebrows and chenged the subject of the conversation. The kid didn't argue with me later on, but i don't remember having lots of conversations with him since that day

Taking relativity space and time dilation into account, 99% + 2% = 99.0390% Space and time dilation always results in velocity less than c no matter what numbers you apply.

What if you keep adding stripes witch will keep on increasing the speed, and eventually it will be 101%.

ian kirwan You get closer and closer to c, but never reach it. 99%c+99%c = 99.9949%c 99%c+99%c+99%c = 99.99997437%c

what if you turned the lights off and you could sneak past light when its not looking...and then add stripes.

+ian kirwan The only valuable thing this is that speed of light is CONSTANT. Which means no matter how fast you're moving, speed of light relative to any system will be c.

MrMommysbaby i was looking for this XD

Backup a jet while it's on the ground over a can of Red Bull.

You're winner!

I haven't studied relativity, and hardly any Newtonian physics, so take this with a grain of salt. But here's my understanding: The speed of light in a vacuum is exactly the same for all frames of reference. A car driving at a hundred million mph sees light move at the same speed as a stationary observer does: the speed of light. The light doesn't move at the expected "speed of light plus 100 million mph" because of time dilation. Time dilates such that anything that *would* be moving faster than the speed of light (were reference frames composed using simple sums) moves less than or equal to the speed of light. Now, all this assumes that Einstein's equations for relativity are accurate, and so far we haven't found any disproofs for that. (I might be completely wrong here, but it's something along those lines: the speed of light shows up in the equations of relativity in such a way that moving faster than that speed is impossible)

@@berylliosis5250 Thank you for taking the time to explain this to me. I think I'm more suited for theoretical physics more than anything 😆 because that's just how I think but it doesn't always work with established physics.

Or better yet, force the light to go faster!

wrong person..

😂

Don't read me k the speed of the light particles themselves stay the same and when the light gets turned off the materials around it absorb all the light. By running in circles you are simply making yourself look like a fool. The light doesn't slow down it just becomes more difficult to see due to the decrease in photons.

ScienceIsCool what if nobody else is in the room, then he is not making himself look like a fool ( doesn't mean he is not)

did I do it right?

Ah the Warp Drive

The speed of light doesn't "only apply to flat spacetime". General relativity is essentially all about curved spacetime and holds c in the same regard as special relativity. I think what you're suggesting is the Alcubierre drive which theoretically works by manipulating the space around it. There's good reason to believe it's not possible to construct such a device.

Lmao

Still potentially possible. Any particle with mass cant possibly go faster than the speed of light, for reasons described in the video. However, assuming you had infinite energy, you could theoretically somehow bend spacetime to pull yourself along it in a way that reaches some destination in a smaller amount of time than it would take light to travel there, thus effectively travelling faster than the speed of light without actually moving at all in the traditional sense. Iirc, we'd need more energy than is available in the observable universe for this.. but maybe with more efficient batteries, who knows haha :P

Rata Touille Yes, assuming of course that you have infinte energy and time to accelerate it to that speed.

No, actually. Nothing in the machine is moving faster than the speed of light relative to closest thing it has to interact with. Therefore the machine would hold together if we assume the material it's made of has infinite tensile strength.

I'm afraid the video's EM binding explanation is incorrect. The atoms are bound by photon-exchange at the tip where the _local_ value of c in that reference frame remains the same. I'm frankly astonished that someone with a doctorate in educational physics has missed a fundamental tenet of Einstein's: c is a constant in all reference-frames. There is a slight complication in that the motion is non-linear and therefore requires a slight GR tweak, but the instantaneous velocity may be taken as 'linear' at such a long distance. The spinning wire paradox is resolved by the ordinary fact that not enough energy can be imparted to the tip for its velocity to equal c. The question, 'what would happen then?' isn't answered. The wire would simply start to wrap around the rotor until it was fully wrapped around. Conservation of angular momentum would then dictate the whole thing would spin up at a ridiculous rpm.

I paused it and came to the comments section knowing for sure that I would find this one... :P

I didn't even see it. Now I can't unsee it, thanks.

+Ma4zu6 I think he means the energy would get lost as heat as the movement traveled to the tip.

+Ma4zu6 What Ben said and... yes the pole would bend. A pole made of any materials will be flexible (if long enough). For example, concrete skyscraper actually sway in the wind. Not by a lot mind you (or the architect screwed up big time) but they do indeed sway (if tall enough).

+Ma4zu6 Assuming the pole would move, the speed of that is the speed of sound. So it's irrelevant.

+Razvan MIHAIU That isn't what they meant. They meant that the force traveling through the molecules of the stick travels at the speed of sound. Objects like sticks can be moved faster than the speed of sound, right? The tip could move much faster than sound. Just not light. The energy transfer to get to the tip would be wasted via heat, sound, etc., "Now this is a loss(y) process, so you'd be lucky if any of the energy made it to the tip at all". Over the course of the 450,000 miles of pole you would lose all of the energy you put into it due to waste, most likely. That's why the tip wouldn't move, not necessarily the bend (which possibly contributes).

+Ma4zu6 It's like when you lay a long rope on the floor and you pick up one end and whip it. You'll see a wave. The wave becomes smaller and smaller because it loses energy. It's about the same principle. The tip of the pole won't move.

The One Actually no one says you have to use antimatter in Alcubierre's warp drive (that's the warp drive I assume the parent comment is refering to), what it uses is negative energy, and in great amounts (although this requirement is decreased in every refinement done). We know negative energy does exist (search for Casimir's effect), but the real big problem in Alcubierres drive is it mixes quantum mechanics with relativity, and we do not have a quantum "relativity" (or a quantum gravity theory as it would be called), so possibly all the math behind the model is wrong (but I hope is not the case).

Just building on the replies above me... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-communication_theorem This is a bit more concise than putting in a lengthy bit on why quantum teleportation does not mean FTL communication. The reasons are a bit subtle. Warp drives are tricky because the physics behind them is a bit speculative. Aside from some dire practical issues with all models I've seen, we still don't quite understand how QM and relativity work together and it appears that aspects of both are necessary for such a drive to work. However, technically no object traverses local space faster than c.

The One It's not negative gravity, it's negative energy.

The closer a physical object gets to the speed of light, the more time would appear to slow down for that object from the perspective of an outside observer. So theoretically, an object moving the speed of light would appear to be motionless.

+Eric Reed But if the object if traveling above the speed of light, it would be un observable as it is static and does not move to humans

+xboxless: If we measure something to leave A and arrive at B in less time than it would take light to make the same trip, it's moving FTL. We'd be able to see it because it's not the object itself that we see, it's the light bouncing off it. (Think of light shining on a superluminal rock from the side, for example. There's no reason we couldn't observe it.) +Eric: Photons are moving the speed of light, yet do not appear motionless.

HarshColby We wouldnt see the object itsself surely as we only see the light that has bounced off it in the past

This is also true of objects moving slower than light. We see the light bounding of it, not the object itself. We see all objects in the past. How far in the past depends on how far away it is, not how fast it's moving.

Technically you dont. Even if you travel lets say at the speed of light, there is still light in front of you from before, and constantly incoming from other objects in front of you.

Yes, but not for the reason I think you are saying here. If something with mass could travel as fast or faster than the speed of light it turns into pure energy. If a the case of a person, that person would cease to exist as he or she transformed into pure energy and "live in the darkness". Of course this could very be what you meant.
