This problem makes Warp Drive impossible 

5:44 "negative energy has never been observed anywhere in nature" Talk to me on a Monday morning before I've had my coffee. I'll show you negative energy.

So all we need to is discover, manufacture, and leash mono-poles. Cool, I hope we're as close to that as people are hyping up right now.

Warp Drive Recipe Ingredients: - Substance that can not exist in this universe - A cool machine

While I'm all for instellar travel, it is pragmatic to instead wish that we should take a step back and get ourselves to a T1 civilization before even thinking about what we need to go to T2. For this, we really need to start seriously looking at developing an intra-system manufacturing infrastructure. Creating a ship manufacturing area in one of Earth's langrange points, then creating mining vessels which wouldn't need to overcome the gravity well would do miracles for our exploration of the system. At that point, setting up a mineral processing facility on Phobos which those mining vessels can deliver to would be next. Then we just need transportation and engineering ships depending on where those processed minerals should go. What's sad is that we could literally start doing this today if it wasn't for global geopolitics.

surfing the grav waves is another one of those "just 30 years away"-forever things

warp drive is cake. anybody that drank coffee after a night of taco bell has experienced warp speed.

We know it can be done... mathematically. We simply do not know how to make the machines, and the underlying physics, to do it.

Okay, so all we need to do is create a black hole in front of a ship, with its connecting white hole behind the ship. A localized wormhole, but instead of traveling thru it from one point to another, you use and travel with the entire system overall. Self propulsion, if you will. The black hole in front is kept at a certain distance from the vessel, which is surrounded by a "warp bubble", it pulls in the warp bubble itself, while the white hole is kept a certain distance behind the vessel, pushing it from behind. The space inside the warp bubble is kept still, so space will move around this localized pocket of space time, black/ white holes included. The mass/ energy of the black hole will be equalized by the negative mass/ energy of the white hole, so you would need to surround these two objects in a cylindrical "warp tunnel" that would entangle the two together enough to allow them to travel faster than light. Think of a warp tunnel, at the entrance is a black hole, in the center is a warp bubble that holds the contained positive mass and energy of the traveling vessel and crew, and at the exit of the tunnel is an entangled white hole. In order to stop traveling with this method tho, you would need to collapse the two holes together to cancel each other out, which could potentially cause damage to the local area upon arrival. The gravitational waves of such a collision is also a danger factor. Unless... you build containment rings, such as the rings around the vessel, like shown on the enterprise model in the video, that enclose the white and black holes in a "nullifying field" that cancels out their pulls and pushes. This would require 4 singularities to accomplish tho... you would also need to figure out how to manipulate and control the gravitational affects of said singularities in order to gain such capabilities. Then again... the black hole and the white hole will already create a wormhole thru space time, technically going straight thru the apparent location of the traveling vessel. Pull the walls of this wormhole "out" far enough and you'll pull both singularities into the wormhole as well, letting them cancel each other out without harming anything, potentially. It's still unknown where the wormhole actually "exists", so this could potentially still cause damage in an area we aren't aware of yet. But it would cancel out both singularities and stop the forward motion of the vessel at the destination. We need better ways to contain/ "delete" the singularities to enable safer travel. The black hole in the front of the tunnel would also act as a force field for the vessel against incoming debris, seeing it exit the white hole from the exit of the tunnel. Huh... a literal "worm" "hole". Creating the spacial distortion to build the tunnel is another matter entirely as well tho... much to consider with this one

Awesome video thanks from new zealand 🇳🇿

Great video and very interesting topic! Thank you.

Reminds me long ago of a sci-fi short story. Humanity creates a warp drive. The "static testing" of the initial device warps space, but triggers massive earthquakes which destroys our civilazation.

Thank you for the clarification.

I love this channel and the content that it makes. Keep it up :)

Wasn’t negative energy observed through the cassimir effect a few years ago? I have a vague memory about it.

Beautiful video! Very insightful

Excellent content zero. The hard part is waiting I consider the adventure has begun.

Warp drive may not even require negative energy if we can just contract space-time in front of the spacecraft and push the aircraft (generate thrust) using super efficient engine and enough fuel.

Fusion and/or Antimatter annihilation reactors + an oscillating array of high frequency gravitational wave generators (i.e. high speed rotation of two large high density masses in a magnetic field) = functional warp drive.

The theory with positive energy and a level much smaller than before has been published three years ago. This video is horrible when it comes to the developments on metrics since the original warp drive paper!

Beautiful. Could this be used on propulsion in the atmosphere?

Thanks!

3:20 the greatest problem with anti-matter is that it can't be stored long --- not even a day so no matter how expensive production is -- what's it good for if it can't be stored

Even if warping space were possible, the contraction of space in front of the ship poses a rather nasty problem. What happens to the mass near or directly in front of the ship? Odds are that it would be drawn towards the center of the warp field. Thus as the ship accelerated its likely to burn up from interacting directly with particles traveling near light speed!

I really enjoyed watching your video. It perfectly fits the growing niche of high-quality edutainment. Yet I’d like to make a request: Please consider rendering videos in HDR. This one would have (artistically speaking) greatly profited from the effect.

We have at least 50 space video games with conventional warping. Can we get a video game focusing around this special warp drive. Can this comment get to game developers. Find out next time on Subject Zero.

Have a pipes that is made of graphene with active reinforcement. Spin it along the axis, so it's wall is now the floor. At reletavistic speed. At one end(and the half that's attached), you add another pipe. That spins counter, and is conecentric with it. The frame dragging of the spinning pipes, means that at the area the pipe is alone, the space inside it has less zeropoint ambient energy, while at the half that has the other one added in, the frame dragging effects of both partially cancel eachother out, so you have and area where energy accumulate. Rather than getting flung out with the gravity waves. Positive energy. The other, negative energy, relatively speaking.

The editing on this was great but the sound effects were distracting. Great video!

What we need to do is to know if it wont mess up spacetime like traveling close to light speed does. Like lets say I warp to pluto, stay there for 10 minutes, warp back, and only 10 minutes has passed on earth

negative energy is not needed. if you can artificially create a small dime-sized black hole in front of the ship and blink it in and out of existence it will pull the ship forward. As space is a near vacuum the ship will continuously build momentum. the black hole also serves another purpose to clear some debris in front of the ship.

I was actually thinking about this a while ago, and for some reason, my brain, my brain spat out the word beryllium, not even knowing what it does until I googled it, so it's going to be REALLY funny if it becomes a critical component

Even though I'm firmely of the belief, that faster than light travel is, and always will be impossible (it's not a technical issue, just waiting to be solved; its impossibility is ingrained in Special & General Relativity), I still think we shall continue to grant science funds to the question of whether they can make a functional warp drive or not. On the way there, they are bound to invent and explore many new things. And knowledge is always good; it's what you do with it, that is important.

When subject zero start it to explain negative and positive warp bubbles, I started nerding out on the ability to have phantom or sort of hidden stabilizers like on a plane would have to keep itself straight, this also says that you could possibly have an Anti-Slip system in other words a way to keep the aircraft from drifting in the original direction it was moving when taking a turn in space. And this saying you possibly dont need a silly orbit to change directions.

What happened to your video on Nicola tesla and a few others?

i know this is dumb and someone has probably thought of it BUT What about just adding 2 positive energies on eather side and riding it like a wave?? it wouldnt be a warp drive but it would be a great way to get around at a good speed

Well thing is matter + anti-matter reaction only gets you to C. You need to distort time, instead of increasing the distance, you reduce the time. However there will still be a time debt.

Just for information: DR. Miguel Alcubierre is a mexican astrophysic from the UNAM university in Mexico City.

I think another approach is instead of looking at energy, look at the nature of an absolute vacuum also defined as free space. Turns out c²=ε₀μ₀ which might used in terms of substitution. (For those missing the unicode characters, that is the square of the speed of light is the product of permittivity of free space multiplied by the permeability of free space.) In which case it may be that m=E/(ε₀μ₀) (mass equal to the ratio of Energy vs. the product of the vacuum properties.) I'd hypothesize that doing something like using some kind of laser interferometry with Casimir plates in a vacuum chamber might be a thing to start research with. Basically looking to see what if anything can cause ripples or standing waves as detected by the interferometry apparatus over the boundary zone of the Casimir plates. Magnetic fields (both static and dynamic), RF waves, charge carriers, rotating masses, various combinations of such... Are the vacuum properties always constant, or are they more reflective of a couple other things going on that we haven't paid enough attention towards? In other words, think of the vacuum properties as describing something to do with the tension stored in the rubber of the rubber sheet analogy used in the video to describe space-time. Understanding that well enough may indicate there might be something interesting where you could manipulate gravity waves, instead of directly needing exotic matter. If it's possible to figure out that hack, then you'd have something.

sick video

If you believe space is expanding, isn't that space warping all by itself without space using energy? Now if we could harness that expansion and turn it into energy oruse it to make a warp bubble, could we then travel against the expansion and make a wormhole to travel though space? Or how does making your own space warp drive work against the expansion of space?

I bet we will beat the light barrier. Just because we don't know how yet doesn't mean it's impossible. Gravitational waves have shown us it is possible. Before the sound barrier people thought all kind of crazy things would happen or prevent it, turns out it's just a bit of turbulence, pressure changes, and accounting for changes on how control surfaces respond. I think we will eventually achieve the same with the light barrier. It's just a larger, harder to achieve challenge. But we will get there.

How about the actual machinery and technology.??

Have you tried using dilithium crystals?

You can use Three Warp drive to provide negative gravity for each other they fly together in pattern

Nice

I mean I would think it'd be impossible to detect negative energy with anything other than a neutrino detector. If a black hole has a point where light can no longer escape it, by the same token a negative energy "white hole" would have a threshold where light/matter could not approach it rendering it invisible to anything other than the ability to detect particle/energy deflections away from an "empty" point in space. As far as powering a drive like that the only thing that makes sense to me is to figure out a field emitter that functions like a fuel scoop harvesting neutrons before the ship out of the void and pushing them like an aerospike behind the ship creating areas of high and low relativistic densities.

Let's put negative energy aside, as well as it's intended use in this case. How would we use positive energy to contract space in front of the ship? Further more, wouldn't doing so create a gravity well and propel the ship forward? Most certainly not at FTL speeds, but forward nonetheless.

Beware the entities of chaos. You might open the ocularis malifica.

No problem we have coffee cherenkov emissions and dosed neutrino intermixes

This ship is so beyond our current tech and knowledge like aircraft carrier with atomic engine for Romans. Magic.

if we can go FTL with the warp drive without exotic or negative energy or matter could be amazing however sublunimal are the most possible.

I believe your visual explanation of negative and positive space is slightly incorrect, what is actually happening is that the grid scale gets smaller within negative space and larger for positive space this has an effect on how we perceive light curving also time within negative compressed space grid slows, its the reason why clocks are slower on earth vs in space for example. In the case of the warp drive the goal is to compress and expand the space time grid to create something akin to the effect of riding a wave on a surfboard, in my opinion though if we manage to create an expanded space time bubble around an object it should allow that object to move up to instantly to the outside observer.

Assuming you could get the warp drive to work what do you do about the paradox of FTL? It's effectively backwards time travel to go FTL. I can only imagine that it is just impossible because if time travel exists where are all the time travellers? idk

Is it theoretically possible to contract space-time in multiple areas in such a manner that it could effectively expand space time in another individual area? So you'd be using the contraction of space-time in order to expand space-time in another location therefore not requiring the use of exotic matter?

negative/low energy comes from casimir cavities

Soooo, we just need to discover Anti gravity, then we are on our Warp speed way!!

I wonder how it comes to a dead stop when it comes out of warp?

Neat effects in the video, everything is so blurry tho :(

I wrote a thesis that described the exact same principal in 1990.

If some guy tells you something is impossible, run away quickly

If we discover any kind of warp technology before we even get a person on mars then we are backwards as a species.

Hey subject zero and people Heres the fact even if we cant make a FTL warp drive a STL warp drive would still be absolutely revolutionary for space travel however theirs 6 problems if we w'atch the vid from cool worlds about the 6 problems preventing warp drives i wonder if subject zero has consider those variables

Will this be something that will help us conquer everything and anything?

This will absolutely happen, which is amazing. Within our lifetimes? Prob not.

whooo!

They should try to warp it like a fan

Soooo.., can I update my calendar? I wouldn't want to miss the first flight.

Changing the local density of Space by using Gravitational Waves might make Warp Speed possible. 🖖

i have one sitting at my garage

A) there's no such thing as negative mass. Even antimatter has regular mass. B) The only place in the universe with an energy density sufficient to create an EinsteinRosen bridge is an event horizon.

the horizon problem is already solved: just use near fields - their parabolic solutions are effectively FTL

we can only hope.... the most likely possible way rn is just STL travel even if slower than FTL it would still revolutionize all of space travel their other problems like radiation and photons that can't go faster than light and such the Ytber cool worlds did explain about that

Producing the little amount needed would cost 1,000 times the world's GDP, but if we mass produce it the unit cost might come down a little.

No antimatter? Well we also thought splitting the atom was impossible at some point so.

The warp drive most likely is impossible. While Alcubierre described how it could work, he basically just used the math that space can curve to say it's possible. There was never any explanation as to how you would even go to warp space in a positive way not even thinking about negatively for the field. Plus in recent time more research has heavily cast doubt on warp drives being realistic or even safe even if they could be done. In recent times most evidence suggests that gravity isn't actually a field at all, it's just a side effect of the warping of space time, so that would kill that method of warping space. Studies of unrah radiation and hawking radiation have suggested that a successful warp field would expose the ship to nearly unimaginably powerful waves of radiation. The negative portion behind the ship would basically be like being chased by a white hole. And then there's what I'd refer to as the "spatial spring" effect. The warp field around the ship has to be released at some point and when it does the energy expended warping space needs to be released with it making what would be an absurd death ray nearly as powerful as some black hole's jets. If we accept the fact this is real and alien life exists, well this effect should be obvious across the entire universe.

In the Star Trek series, the problems with warp drive are no longer an issue - they work, and ships are able to go from no or little motion to faster than light in a fraction of a second. What keeps this from killing every human on the ship by mashing them into a stain against the back wall is something referred to as "inertial dampers", something never really explained but shown as a problem when they are offline. "Captain, we cannot go to warp speed because the inertial dampers are offline". My question concerns this concept of warp drive, where the ship is motionless (is it?) while space is "warped" around it. Does this get away from needing something like an "inertial damper", because if it doesn't, then it will take some time to go from sitting still in orbit around a planet to light speed, and this gradual acceleration will both take time and put stress on the human body. Keep in mind, that the process will need to be reversed as the ship nears its target - it cannot just stop instantly like it can in the Star Trek series.

If a ship travels at a constant 1g acceleration rate it would get to Alpha Centauri in 3.6 years (7.3 years would pass on Earth) and this includes turning the ship around halfway to decelerate. It would achieve about 95% light speed in 1 year. A 10 ton ship would require a mere 10 tons of continuous thrust. This is by far the fastest way we can get to other worlds and the ship would have gravity the whole way. All that is needed for this to become a reality is a fission rocket that can put out thrust for long periods and does not consume hydrogen. A true fission rocket should consume uranium or plutonium only. They are both jittery atoms that are on the verge of fissioning all by themselves. There should be a way to get them to fission in a linear fashion. What's needed is a controlled, time released nuclear explosion. In an atomic bomb fission occurs when neutrons hit uranium or plutonium nuclei. This is because they will not tolerate an increase in mass. Due to the equivalence of mass and energy the same should be true in you infuse them with energy. This might be as simple as having negatively charged uranium or plutonium atoms coming into contact with positively charged uranium or plutonium atoms. 1 kg of uranium contains the same potential energy as 120,000 tons of coal and plutonium has even more energy. Not much would be needed for the trip. With the constant acceleration method a ship can span the entire diameter of our galaxy in 24 ship/113,000 Earth years. Systems with stars similar to our sun can be reached in under 10 ship years.

Gojo Satoru power be like

we could use thousands of pinnie traps to collect the anti matter in the earths belts just as the vid said by subject zero

What about this Warp Drive? positive charge shell with a negative interior +(-(-(-us)-)-)+ like a russian doll then reverse polarity if the next outer shell +(-(-us)-)+...+(-us)+ do you think this has more potential than that one. a bowling ball and a feather are falling side by side and do not move campared to each other.

Theory is, anything we humans can imagine we’ll make it happen in the future

Because we don't have spices Yet

Electrons are held to the nucleus of atoms by virtual photons which can't go faster than the speed of light so whatever you're going to make your warp drive out of it can't be atoms of any element because the virtual photons that hold it all together won't be able to keep up.

Everything is impossible until it isn’t.

Okay, taking the negative energy out of the equation is cool and all, but how do you engineer the mass and power plant needed to move such mass, or god forbid stop such a vehicle?

So to solve warp you needa solve antigravity which was always the holy grail to begin with.

Crazy theory time: gravity is a dipole. "What?" I hear you say, "no it's not." Hear me out, it is, but its poles are at the same physical location in 3D space, they are only separate in 4D space. Or, the state of the poles are super-positioned over one another, but separate temporally. So to that, all we need is to split the poles in regular space. A boson beam splitter. And the energy required to do this may be far, far less than that of a Jupiter-worth of nuclear fusion.

Thank you!

This can be used to make projectile for destroying planets

Wouldn't the bubble itself be traveling backwards in time? 🤔

So, you contract the space in front. We know how to do that, with gravity of course. And you also expand the space behind the spacecraft. We'll do that with anti-gravity. So, to invent warp drive, one just needs to invent anti-gravity. SO SIMPLE! :)

Time travel other than what we are all doing right now ... now! ... NOW! ... okay, back then and in the future ... is and always will be impossible. Given a chance, would you go forward? Even as little as (say) one week? Or, possibly (no) safer (it's not) back? Whaddya reckon, would YOU do it?

Didn't even get a notification

Maybe we should rather put our efforts in infinite improbabilty?

Positive ultra short impulses. The video is right, we dont need exotic matter when we can create field interference of waves. The challenge once its impulsed fast enough will be the interference patterns. Say in space we spew ions out and create a flow reversed loop or orbital shell for ions to travel through in routes with charge or magnetic field based attraction or deflection.

O.K. so it shrinks the space in front and increases the space behind. The first time I heard about this was my car radio and I thought about it and realized that was exactly what my car was doing. Where's the magic in that?

First we need some place to travel to that fast.😅

Negative energy sounds like dark energy to me. Isnt it thought that dark matter/energy is the cause of the acclerated expansion of the universe?

Hmmm... what about some how using gravity to bend the space infront and behind. Show how using an engine that can create artificial mass infront and behind. I dont think folding would be pleasible "Yet" i believe enveloping the ship would be better. But i by no means have the knowledge or resources too make this ever possible. Me in my thoughts...

The problem with warp drive is nobody ever tried to go faster than 186.000 mph, or faster than the speed of light. Nobody tried because that is impossible. I believe it can be done. It can't be done because nobody tries.

how about using two micro blackholes orbiting each other
