Cheating Reality
Visit our sponsor, Brilliant: https://brilliant.org/IsaacArthur/ So many of hopes and dreams for colonizing space rely on faster than light travel, and yet the ability to move between stars in moment seems against the laws of reality... but perhaps we can break those...
FTL04: Wormholes
In Episode 4 we look at the concept of wormholes, how they derive from General Relativity, the various different types and theories, and some under-considered uses of wormholes. We'll also discuss some myths and misunderstandings of the concept. Support the Channel on...
FTL03: Alcubierre Warp Drives
In Episode 3 we look at the concept of warp drives, a theoretical type of spaceship propulsion that warps spacetime to allow faster than light travel. We discuss the basic concept and the scientific and technological hurdles to developing it, along with clearing up...
Faster Than Light ep02: Tachyons and Time Travel
Our second installment of a new series looking at Faster Than Light, or FTL, concepts and technologies. In this episode we look at the Tachyon, a hypothetical superluminal particle than can travel back in time as well as looking at what theory tells us about Time...
Faster Than Light ep01: Quantum Entanglement
Our first installment of a new series looking at Faster Than Light, or FTL, concepts and technologies. In this episode we review the basics of Special Relativity and some misconceptions about it, then look at Quantum Entanglement. Support the Channel on Patreon:...
