The Speed of Light is EXTREMELY Slow

@@BlenderTimer the speed of light is only slow compared to the universes size

it shows both, it's all relative, on the scale of the observable universe light is a slow mode of transport.

And that's just the observable universe.

Exactly, the entire premise of this video is absolutely ludicrous. Nothing, absolutely nothing can move faster than the speed of light, except for photons which are light particles. This is just absurd

@@TheChosenFailure literally nothing can move faster than light so no, it's not slow whatsoever at all. It's quite literally the fastest thing in the entire universe

Because of this fact, scientists won't make progress and eventually technology will come to an halt. So for whatever reason if NASA wants to space travel that nearest star; it wouldn't be plausible since we are so hopelessly different than the rest of the universe. Everyone will acknowledge that we wouldn't be able to make meaning through the barrier of our solar system which we were supposed to stay.

Maybe I did confuse more. 😅🙏

@@koshy9996 ohhh ok

Problem is that it takes an infinite amount of energy to reach the speed of light. The entire universe doesn't have enough energy. So you'd get nowhere close to the speed of light, and then it's still going to be an eternity to get anywhere.

@@tomb5372 Yeah but it's a hypothetical situation.

​@@Kingdom-zu6tmthe main issue is still your body and anything we can build would instantly collapse and turn into a smoothy with that amount of energy and speed

I think the spaceship is too small to become a blackwhole but passengers thing is really fun to think about

@@BlurryfaceOfc This has something to do with special relativity. In special relativity, there are two types of mass: rest mass and relativistic mass. Rest mass is what you think of when someone talks about mass, while relativistic mass of an object is calculated by m_rel = m/(1-v^2/c^2)^(1/2), where m is the rest mass of the object, v is the speed of the object, and c is light speed. As you can see, as the speed of the object approaches light speed, the denominator of the formula decreases, which means the relativistic mass increases. When the speed of the object is infinitely close to light speed, the demoninator is approaches 0, which means the relativistic mass is ∞, if the rest mass of the object is above 0. This means anything heavier than a photon would into a blackhole, or singularity.

@@Syuvinya I didn't knew that Thanks for telling me :)

@@Syuvinya actually it would not colapse into a black hole. Special relativity says that the closer that mass gets to the speed of light more more energy is required to accelerate to that speed, until you need an unimaginable amount of energy to speed up the slightest bit. Making it impossible for mass to travel at that speed. You are right about the instantaneous travel. Although outside observers see light traveling through space quickly, a observer that is traveling at the speed of light would perceive it as instantaneous

@@Verax0 yes right but in this hypothetical situation the ship is accelerated to lightspeed, which means it has infinite energy, and thus infinite mass, which means it does collapse into a blackhole.

Beat me to this! Yeah, pretty cool that if you (could theoretically) travel in a ship at the speed of light, it would be as if you teleported to any point in space (within the cosmological horizon) instantaneously; albeit your destination has probably changed or moved quite a bit since then (but such a race with such technology could probably account for this).

Time and distance cannot be relative to other objects in space-time as that would violate the law of conservation of energy. To travel distance requires potential energy, an observer can have no effect on a moving objects kinetic energy-Relativity debunked. Light travels in both directions, anyone having a conversation with their friends understands this simple phenomenon yet Einstein's disciples believe people on earth are time traveling backwards and forwards in space-time relative to one another. Testing the speed light in on Earth is like riding a bicycle up hill, gravity will show you down. If the light waves from the sun were 8 minutes and 20 seconds in a past dimension of Einstein's space-time then people on Earth are just imagining the infrared warmth of the sun coming up on the horizon. The communications delay between Earth and Mars is approximately 20 minutes. We're either viewing the light from Mars in the future, Einstein's past dimensions of space-time or in real time, which do you think is more logical? Einstein's relativity is wrong light has no limitation of speed; it cannot be slowed down because it isn't moving. From every vantage point in the universe light is omnidirectional-instantaneously traveling in both directions. Light and electromagnetic waves are independent of each other. According to Einstein's relativity-time dilation's, photos taken of the Earth from the Discovery Space station traveled from the past to the future violating the laws of physics, conservation of energy and common sense. According to Einstein's projectile light particle proton light has a (constant speed) of 186,000 miles per second moving through spacetime, but if light has a (constant speed) then moving clocks cannot run slow through spacetime! :-) The speed of light according to Einstein's relativity is 186,000 miles per second, but according to physics if two mechanical watches were synchronized on earth and one traveled across the universe and back, there would be no difference in time between the mechanical watches proving the speed of light is instantaneous as the only way a mechanical watch will run slow is if you tighten the main spring. Big Bang, Einstein's relativity-time dilation and nearly all of science debunked. Using optical clocks, lasers and GPS to prove Einstein's time dilation-space-time curvature is like using a metal detector to find gold at Fort Knox. The closer you are to the electromagnetic fields, mass and gravity of the earth the more light bends aka gravitational lensing. If the speed of light is constant then past and future dimensions of spacetime and an expanding universe would not be possible, obviously destroying the twins paradox as each twin cannot move faster or slower than the other. A mirror is a wave reflector that flips images from left to right, but according to Einstein the images you see are the result of projectile light particle photons being transported into past and future dimensions of space-time. Explain how particle light photons can re-converge their molecular structures in mirrors and how this is done without violating the law of conservation of energy. From every vantage point in the universe light is omnidirectional-instantaneously traveling in all directions (forwards and backwards through Einstein's space-time) while violating the law of conservation of energy. Explain how Einstein's projectile light particle proton can travel all directions having a (constant speed) of 186,000 miles per second. Einstein would have made a great used car salesman :-). Light waves can stretch, bend-curve and occupy a state of superposition, whereas the hypothetical Einstein projectile light particle (photon), a particle that has never been observed cannot. Unlike a TV or computer monitor the images we are viewing in the universe are in real time, not a series of frames that create the appearance of a moving image. There are no DCU digital convergence circuits in space yet Einstein's disciples believe the light and moving images they see in the universe aren't really there, they're just video recorded images of the past 13.8 billion years. You could lead a cult to water, but you can't make them think. Neither time, energy nor mass can create itself into nothing, reside in nothing or expand into nothing simply because nothing has no properties. Time and space are independent of each other, not material bodies or fantasy unions that magically stretch Time, energy, and matter like a rubber band into space-time dimensions. Einstein's projectile light particle proton has a (constant speed) of 186,000 miles per second moving through spacetime and because so wavelengths of light cannot stretch through spacetime! Red-shifts are simply the result of decelerating electrons, as moving electrons of charged electromagnetic waves-light travel through the plasma of the universe each lump (or "quanta") of energy in the electromagnetic waves are charged then discharged to the next lump, eventually the energy dissipates causing the delay in radio communications giving the appearance of time dilation - longer wavelengths in red shift. Will the James Webb Telescope view the birth of the first galaxies? Nope, the universe goes on to infinity. Neither time, the atom, energy nor mass can create itself into nothing, reside in nothing or expand into nothing simply because nothing has no properties. The James Webb Space Telescope is not a time machine, you can’t travel back in time to view the beginning of the universe with telescopes that were made in the future :-). Light and electromagnetic waves are independent of each other. If science uses Einstein's wrongly theorized speed of light like an odometer to calculate past dimensions of distance and time, then using that same method to calculate forward dimensions of distance and time would mean the Big Bang was created and expanded in the future before time existed. Unlike a television or computer monitor the images we are viewing in the universe are in real time, not a series of still image frames that hypothetical Einstein projectile light particles photons create to give us the appearance of a moving image :-). The speed of electromagnetic wave is 186,282 miles per second vs Einstein's projectile light particle proton at 186,000 miles per second. Is this a coincidence or did Einstein plagiarize yet another phenomenon to fit the math of relativity? Electromagnetic waves in space can neither slow down or speed up, this is consistent with the law of conservation of energy. If light slowed down, its energy would decrease, thereby violating the law of conservation of energy so the speed of light is instantaneous and cannot travel slower than it does. If Einstein's projectile light (particle photon) had mass it's light could not travel across the universe, high speed particles traveling at 186,000 miles per second would break the Hubble and James Webb telescope mirrors, debunking the speed of light, Big Bang, Einstein's relativity and any science that uses relativity in their theories. Similar to a mirror light is a real-time wave reflector where light and images travel in straight lines-in all directions in space as they do on earth. The faintest stars and galaxies are neither in a past or future dimension of Einstein's space-time, they're in real-time. Everyone knows cell phone electromagnetic radio waves travel both ways, yet Einstein's disciples believe time energy, mass and light can only travel one way back in time. If you simply run the Big Bang theory in reverse you reveal the insanity of Einstein's relativity and Big Bang theory. If the expansion of the Big Bang were true, time, energy, mass and light would be in the future from the vantage point of an expanding singularity-Big Bang and planet Earth would now reside in a past dimension of Einstein's time dilation (moving clocks run slow) space-time 13.8 billion years ago :-). From every vantage point in the universe light is omnidirectional-instantaneously traveling in both directions (forwards and backwards through Einstein's space-time) while violating the law of conservation of energy. Explain how Einstein's projectile light particle proton can travel in both directions having a (constant speed) of 186,000 miles per second :-) It's truly amazing how the science and politics of the left are able to keep people denying reality, there are no DCU digital convergence circuits in space, yet Einstein's disciples believe the light and moving images they see in the universe aren't really there, they're just recorded images of the past 13.8 billion years. Pretending not to notice the gross contradictions-pseudoscience in Relativity is typical of Einstein's disciples, devaluing the source of any information that's in contradiction with their beliefs-theories. You could lead a cult to water, but you can't make them think. If the light from the universe travels to past dimensions of time then it's light is also traveling into future dimensions of time (instantaneously). “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” a state of superposition where time and gravity run inwardly, outwardly, in all directions in the same time frame, similar to the electromagnetic field having no beginning and no end. The Doppler effect is wrongly conflated with cosmological Redshift. As one approaches a blowing horn the perceived pitch is higher until the horn is reached, then becomes lower as the horn is passed. This phenomenon is caused by the physical movement of a mechanical soundwave traveling through the medium of air, similar to throwing a rock in a pond, the rock creates physical movement in the medium of water. Cosmological Redshifts are merely the GoPro fisheye effect where wavelengths appear to lengthen-stretch from the phenomenon of gravitational lensing.

@@michaelbariso3192 Literally the only requirement for special relativity, i.e. the theory from which my comment was derived, is that light will always take the same measured time to travel to and then return from a point at the same measured distance in a vacuum in any direction for any observer. That is to say, the two-way vacuum speed of light (c) is constant. This has been conclusively measured, repeatedly verified, and practically no evidence has been found contradicting it. As such, the mathematical consequences of such a property must follow. These consequences (specifically, that we must use the lorentz transform to mathematically model a change of inertial observer, that being the linear transform such that all observers agree on what c is) have also been conclusively measured and repeatedly verified. To disprove special relativity, you need to disprove that light has a constant speed (with all the caveats mentioned above). Unfortunately, saying "it doesn't make sense" doesn't disprove it. It has been measured many times to be as true as we can measure something to be, so to disprove it, you would need to be able to consistently, reproducibly perform measurements which show it to be slightly false--and by the volume of our extant measurements, it could only ever be slightly.

Same with No mans sky

@@ok2635 I wouldn't agree with No Man's Sky so much, as each system in NMS consists of just a few planets and a space station, all stationary in space, and all *way* too close together. Your pulse engine propels your starship at 4000ks, or 4,000,000 units per second. Assuming units equate to meters, that's still only 1.3% the speed of light, and yet still you arrive at any destination in just a few minutes. Comparing that with travelling to Neptune *at* the speed of light taking over 4 hours shows how still absolutely minuscule the scale of NMS is. If you could travel about *75 times faster* (aka C) with the pulse engine and still take a few minutes to get to places, the systems would be about as wide as the distance from the sun to Mercury, our *closest* planet to the sun. Still not even close to the scale of the whole solar system. Again, this is assuming the pulse engine was 75 times faster than it actually is, so the systems are roughly 75 times smaller than Mercury's distance from the sun. That puts a rough estimate of the size of No Man's Sky's systems at 920,000 km. Earth is 12,742 km across, so it's about 72 Earths across give or take. That's big, but the orbit of Pluto can fit roughly 926,071 Earths end-to-end. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore the game. It's just not at all a realistic representation of the sheer magnitude of space. Though, do bear in mind that this all hinges on the rough estimate that it takes "a few minutes" to fly across the system (and orbits aren't circular), so none of this is going to be perfectly accurate, but it'll be in the ballpark.

@@speedoflight3395 First of all, fitting name haha! I admit my comment is a bit exaggerated, since for it to feel truly instantaneous you would have to go from 0 to c instantly in the first place which seems impossible, so practically speaking, as you start speeding towards c you'll start experiencing time slower and slower, because according the theory of special relativity / time dilation, the faster you move through space, the slower you experience time, and if the theory holds throughout, once you reach c you should stop experiencing time at all, thus making it feel near-instantaneous when you reach your destination, but of course its kinda impossible to imagine what that would be like because we have evolved with the idea of constantly flowing time. Unfortunately as far as our knowledge goes, its impossible for something with a mass to travel at the speed of light so we may never be able to find what its truly like to travel at the speed of light.

@@jimm638 Yes, this ties in with "entangled photons", since they travel at the speed of light, their whole existence is but a moment. So at the quantum level, where Einstien's Light Cones of the past and future meet in the now (which is only 1 Plank length/time), the curvature of the cones is hyperbolic not linear, hence any change in angular momentum can cause the photon to pass info about its present state, into the hyperspace of the now and go back 1 Plank space/time. But the instant something goes back in time, it can go the back to the Big Bang if it had to in order to react with its pair to effect the outcome (simultanoues flip) in the now instantly. The entire past is always effecting the now no matter how far back. So at the quantum level, paradoxes are happening all the time, but they are limited to individual moments of 1 Plank space/time. This is why the universe is so chaotic at that level. What we see at our level is a smoothing of those short lived and local paradoxes as the now becomes the next moment into the future.

@@Gooburst4771 sorry, but I don't bother with comments from 5 year olds.

Well since time is relative, if you go near the speed of light you time would move much slower compared to the time of a resting observer (earth). That means you could actually go very far in the universe in you lifetime. The only problem is that for a resting observer millions of years pass while you are flying.

The spacecraft would also suddenly have infinite mass, and then would become a singularity.

which is why, precisely, doesn't take into account relativistic effects.

If you assume a constant acceleration of 1g (so you get close to the speed of light fairly quickly and avoid the nasty effects of living in microgravity for decades), it would take about 53 years in ship time to circumnavigate the universe. Someone much smarter than me calculated that ship time for any relativistic trip at 1g constant acceleration is equal to arccosh(1 + D) where D is measured in lightyears. Of course, if you want to reach your destination at something less than 99.99% of c, you'll want to flip over half way and decelerate at 1g for half the trip, so the full formula is 2 arccosh(1 + D / 2), which is where I got 53 years from. If you _don't_ wanna slow down, you can shorten you journey to a mere 27 years! (and a couple days) Also, that formula was algebraically derived by a Quora user, based on a Wikipedia entry, and simplified by me, a mechanical engineer with a passing interest in relativity and quantum mechanics. That should tell you about how accurate it might be. Which is quite possibly completely made up, but simple enough for me to remember and pull out as a party trick in the comments section. Also also, this entire exercise is assuming space is not expanding, which it is, so reaching the current edge of the observable universe is an impossible proposition in the first place. Still fun to consider.

You could cross the entire galaxy in subjective time 10 seconds, barring the fuel & surviving acceleratoin issues. Everyone else will see you streak across the sky at the slow, slow, slow rate of (just nearly) the speed of light, but from your perspective, you'll make the trip in (say) 10 seconds.

If that doesn't make you feel special then I don't know what will 😁

I forgot that was a thing until u reminded me lol

Yeah. I had an issue with my video software's compression algorithm. I've fixed it in all my new videos though.

That will only happen when people realize that the Earth is not flat. We don't have people living in the core of the Earth. We don't live amongst shapeshifters, reptilians. They believe we've never landed on the moon. The mentality of the average person that's watching RU-vid is amazing not only are they lacking in education they are also lacking Common Sense which frightens me.

We are actually travelling to another galaxy: Andromeda :)

@@Random_user_8472 no we aren't unless you count the voyager spacecraft

@@Ryanbros Yes we are, in 4 billion years from now our galaxy will collide with Andromeda :)

It's a scale issue. We haven't conquered terraforming our own, livable planet and some billionaire wants to terraform dead Mars.

You could've gotten a comment from the creator if you didn't put a clown emoji in your comment.

@@TheWorldsLargestOven Huh cool. A comment from the creator. What a prime example of humen defining what is and isnt special. Some human interacts with you? Nothing suprising. But wow if its the creator of a youtube video? Guess youre right. It all totally matters and the state of "creator" doesnt change on every channel.

Well, if you travel at a speed of light time stops around you

​@@delenter3296Bingo 🎯👍

@@Azariy0 Sleeper ships (everyone who can be in suspended animation for the trip, is) should work too, and have the rather significant advantage that the people who end the trip are the same ones that started it, so the chances of the mission objectives being completely ignored (by a generation that didn't agree to them) are greatly reduced.

@@mal2ksc It doesn't matter, humans will never travel that far. At current tech, it would take 37,200 years to travel 1 light year. According to a video I watched, the closet earth like planet that "may" support life is 40 light years away, travel time at current tech is about 1,488,000 years. Light doesn't seem so slow after all.

@@Azariy0 We don't need sleeper ships, according to funky laws of time and physics, for those inside the ship, it would appear to happen instantly once we reach the speed of light.

@@mal2ksc oops, I meant to reply to you, not the other guy

@@lepperkin Except when you go that fast, you slam into the interstellar medium that fast. It may not be possible to exceed a few percent of light speed and keep everyone alive, but if it's OK to take a thousand years to get there, and the support ships can go 20% light speed because they can survive the radiation hit and set up in front of you... then it might be practical. The extra couple hundred years may even be critical to the plan, to let the advance AI crew set up a habitation for the humans. Also, not to put too blunt a point on it... they don't ALL need to survive.

🤣

It was four frames I think on .25x speed

I saw four frames

Yep

Thanks for the like and sub!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks!

😂 Thanks!

Yeah, it took me awhile to figure out how to best visualize it. I finally decided to go with particles as I think it's easier to understand that way. According to NASA "All light has both particle-like and wave-like properties." So we're both right. science.nasa.gov/ems/02_anatomy

Let's not nitpick now I understand where you coming from however like I posted in 10 different places already I get into conversation with RU-vidrs that believe we've never been to the Moon the Earth is flat we live amongst the reptilians they live in the world of conspiracies it just boggles my mind

Technically, as of 2022, light is considered both particle and wave.. sooo..

@@OscarASevilla Yes but the definition of “particle” in relation to a photon of EMR means the least posible amount, portion or quantity of quantum energy.

@@m.j.r.technologyreveiws1075 fair enough

Pls can anyone link me a video of how exactly time is different for people at such speeds. Like I know about the theory hut don't understand it. Isn't time an abstract concept we made in our brains

@@literallynothinghere9089 "We all move at the Speed of Light" and "Special Relativity" from ScienceClic English

Relativity isn’t real.

@@cullennowell7813 Literally proven real. GPS wouldnt work without accounting for time dilation. Its one of the greatest theories ever made, and been under constant attacks to disprove it for over 100 years by some of the smartest physicians ever. And it still stands to this day as a cornerstone of our understanding of spacetime.

Think dimensions and multiverses the amount of knowledge is incredible the amount of stupidity is most likely more

Thanks!

It's kinda a mixture of both.

There you go.

There's a Chinese knockoff you can use right now - they advertise 2.0 speeds but it's actually only 80% as fast. But it's cheaper!

Haha dish, nice one

if we could approach the speed of light, and do so without our ship tearing itself apart on the interstellar medium, we could actually get just about anywhere light could in a single lifetime. the problem is that, if we travel what someone on earth measures as 50000 light years, someone on earth will also measure us as taking 50000 years. even though at our speed (99.999whatever% c) the length may have contracted to, say, 1/12 of a light year, and as such we got there in a time we measure to be 1 month, the only people left to even try to communicate with would be others who made similar relativistic speed journeys, and they would be so far away as to only be contactable while they are currently taking similarly fast and long distance trips, possibly depending on direction as well.

Which leads to the idea that the only way an extraterrestrial civilization could ever reach earth would be trough teleportation, meaning that civilization would be advanced way beyond our current understanding of our universe, and it might not be such a reach to assume that to become this advanced, they'd have to be extremely wise and intelligent, and not fighting between themselves like we humans do or they would probably have self-destructed way before ever reaching such technological advancements. Such a civilization would probably have very strict protocols as to how to interact with other civilizations that haven't reached a state of maturity, and thus even if they found us they very likely would never interact with us in the state our society is currently in.

On the spaceship, I believe that the entire trip would appear instantaneous due to time dilation. To the traveler who is moving at the speed of light, they can reach any destination in the universe instantly. But to us on earth, it takes forever. That is my understanding anyway.

Yup! Good explanation!

I mean, fast is relative, so...

Its a thought experiment to give us a good understanding just how big the universe is. Nothing else

Those warp drives travel far far far far far far faster than light. Almost like a worm hole

@@dosomestuff1949 how fast is a worm hole?

@@brianwood9849 a worm hole isn’t necessarily fast. It just warps space around it so much that there isn’t much of a distance to travel anymore. Essentially it connects 2 points in space together and thus reducing the distance

Warp drives use ftl travel, though. The theory is that they bend the space around them and ride it like a wave, which makes travel time almost instant.

@@brianwood9849 Space is maleabil. If you want to get from point A to B on a piece of paper, you normally draw a straight line. Wormholes are the equivalent of bending the paper(space) so the two points align and punching a hole between the two.

Which is why the speed of light is technically slow because it would take a ungodly amount of time for the speed of light to cross the observable universe and even the whole universe
