In a few billion years, the sun is going to bloat enough
to ingest the earth. And if we haven’t found another planet to live on by then,
that will be the end of us. Is the way out really a wormhole? Christopher Nolan’s latest epic depicts a dying planet
and some desparate people. But relying on some radical
advances in physics, Matthew McConaughey and company are able to get beyond our solar system in an effort to save us. But anything that’s
outside of our solar system is at least 18 billion kilometers away. And our current technology
wouldn’t get us there for many thousands of years. This is where wormholes come in. One of the solutions to Einstein’s equations of general relativity
is the famous black hole. Where we think a dead collapsed star creates an area of gravity so massive that it creates a singularity where all light and matter are pulled past the dreaded event horizon, and crushed down into nothingness. But another solution in general relativity provides for white holes, which are the reverse of black holes. And theoretically, are the
exit for all the matter that falls into every
black hole in the universe. Possibly spitting out matter into another region of space and time. Then, in 1916, another
physicist named Ludwig Flamm proposed that you could
connect a black hole and a white hole through a wormhole. About 20 years after this, Einstein and a colleague named Rosen, investigated this kind of wormhole and found that it would
collapse much too quickly. But even later on, the scientist behind the movie Interstellar, Kip Thorne, found that if you provided some kind of exotic matter or energy, you might be able to keep the
throat of a wormhole open. And this opens a
possibility for time travel. We suspect that anything that actually does fall into a black hole gets ripped apart molecule by molecule. But there is math that suggests that if you fall into a black
hole in just the right way, you might be spit out on the
other side of the universe. Now let’s think of space-time or the fabric of our very universe, like a sheet that can bend. If you were to bend
space-time over and curve it, and connect two of those
points with a wormhole, If you were to enter here, and exit the wormhole here, you could travel through space and time quicker than even a light otherwise would if it had to go all the way around. But in Interstellar, wormhole time travel is simultaneously our greatest hope and our greatest challenge. That’s how Interstellar gets around the problems of relativity. The reason why Matthew
McConaughey’s daughter and the rest of the earth
ages while he is away. If you travel close to a black hole, or near the speed of light,
time slows down for you. But the universe ages normally. By using a wormhole, you can take a shortcut through space and
time without aging anyone. This is the problem. Space is unimaginably vast. Without a wormhole, even if we could get to one of the 1,800 planets outside of our solar system
that we discover via a wormhole, by the time anybody got
back to tell us about it, we’d all be long gone. If you move a wormhole just right, you can time travel back to the past. When something moves close
to the speed of light, time slows down for it. So if you moved one end of a wormhole close to the speed of light or c, less time would pass for
it than the other end. But time through the
wormhole is synchronized. If you entered the younger end, you’d exit the older end at the time the younger end experienced that entry. That’s backwards time travel. And that’s how McConaughey could get home. Of course, there are caveats. We’ve never actually witnessed a wormhole. It only works out from the math. If wormholes do exist, they’re likely too small and collapse way too quickly to go through them. And though the physicist
who advised Interstallar thinks that there’s some
kind of exotic matter that could keep a wormhole open, currently, we think it’d take about the same amount of energy
that the sun outputs in a hundred million
years to create a wormhole about the size of a tangerine. If we can manipulate wormholes, they might very well be our best bet at escaping the solar system. Although it might turn
out to be impossible, Interstellar remains a fantastic vision of space travel that pulls real theories from some of
our greatest scientists. And if we are going to get
anywhere in this universe, it’s going to be with those theories. Why? Because Science, alright alright alright.
lets make a Dyson sphere then die . . . ? why not?
Sooo in other words, there's no hope for humanity anyways?
…Well, that's depressing.
heh heh… holes…
correct me If I didn't understand but the singularity is actually not the event horizon?
it's just that single point inside the black hole, probably in the middle if such things can be said inside a black hole 😀
and the event horizon is just a point in space in which the gravity is of such strength that even light can't escape.
Guys, Is there a text for this episode?
if not, can anyone write it to me, and i appreciate that in advance?
i wanna have friends like you 🙂
didnt they age from the water planet because of time dilation and not the worm hole? i remember the scene where they come back up and the black dude was like 20 years older
no all we have to do is build a massive spacecraft or space station neer Pluto till the next Sun and earth grow from the dust of the old ones
if there is a way to go into a black hole at just the right way, would/wouldnt some light be doing this already?
Can electricy and microwave activity alter reality its self??? @Nerdist #questionphysics
To be honest, an Alcubierre drive seems more feasible than opening a Black Hole, and a lot less timey-wimey.
project Orin could get you a up to a fraction of the speed of light you will have to use nukes first
you shoulda whispered the entire thing.
Does this means Eve online could happen?!
I really don't think humanity will even last long enough to see the sun ingest the earth lol
More than likely we'll use solar engineering to control the expansion of the sun. Humans will probably also one day give up their physical form in exchange for a superior digital representation.
What about making a spacecraft that can sustain life, with trees, dirt, bees and stuff?
" You know what they say about daughters, they get older, I stay the same age…..alright, alright, alright….."
Time travel is impossible, since only the present currently exists. The past no longer exists, and the future does not exist yet. The idea that all points in time exist tenselessly is simply false, since it entails a number of things contradicted by basic observation. Most notably, it entails that our experience of temporal becoming is illusory, which is nonsense since an illusion of becoming still entails actual becoming. Why? Because philosophy.
However, aside from this, the properties of the universe are such that wormholes with time travel properties simply cannot exist, as expressed in Stephen Hawking's chronology protection conjecture. Ironically enough, one of the best explanations of this was given by none other than Kip Thorne. Why? Because science.
anyone else notice his shirt pocket moving around lol im not sure if flipping the image to the left and right is quicker than moving to the left or right or not… lol
well, 18 billion km isn't that much at all… Voyager 1 probe is currently 20 billion km away from the Sun 🙂
That's what I like about high school girls. I keep getting older, they stay the same age. Hehehe! Yes they do. Yes they do.
eh…
I was crackin' up so hard at 4:13; why did he do that goofy accent?
Wasn't the white hole theory disproven?
You know that when you Travel thugh time you actualy travel to a diffirent Untiverse (Dimension) right? Also exotic matter can be created via Anti-Matter or Actual Matter, it just takes some energy and high speeds combined with Neutron Replacement. So technicaly eveything you need already exist (Hardron Colider and Nuclear Reactor).
writing backwards is the hardst thing to do btw
When/If we ever travel through time, it will be taking us to a different timeline entirely. We are human after all, if we ever had the power of time travel it'd be abused by someone and we would have already seen the effects of it. Because we haven't, it's safe to assume that if we ever had the ability to travel through time, then we'd be interacting with a different timeline.
explain the infinity gauntlet & individual stones please
God we've advanced too far as a society
what about not fucking up our own planet so we don't have to leave?
your Michael Caine is pretty good.
4:00 Antimatter could possibly work.
got a wormhole? it'd be alot cooler if you did
Why does the time is connected to light speed or gravity?
lol Nice impression of Christopher Nolan.
well if we got super intelligent and we knew when our sun was going go go super, we could probably just move the planets to a further location away from the sun.
Next do a video on stargate. sg1 with the actual stargate itself.
I think the big bang was the first and only white hole 😀 so all matter will one day be inside black holes and travels back in time to be "created" in the first place ;D
Are recordings such as this samples of time travel in a different medium? Are we all back to the past travelers?
As a race, we have potential to do amazing things. But we have spent most of our existence in conflict. That is what will hinder our progress.
but if a worm hole is only open for short period of time, could you not travel close to the speed of light then the time the worm hole is open would be extended.
Dude, you look like Tom Cruise
Try having E=mc2 in it
didn't Hawking theorize that white holes would exist inside of black holes. in a nutshell he was saying that a super massive black hole would have enough gravitational force to pull spacetime itself inside creating a pocket of space inside the black hole that would be cut off from normal space and that from the perspective of an observer within this "baby universe" the mater being pulled in through the even horizon would appear to be coming out of a single point in space, a white whole.
I thought blackholes, whiteholes, and wormholes, were all different things, each existing independently…
Interstellar was the best movie ever
white holes black holes wormholes how bout plot holes? besides the obvious time travel paradox when mcconnaughey's character is behind the magic bookshelf and sends himself to repeat everything he already did, there's another obvious flaw maybe you didn't spot. if the fourth dimensional beings are just super advanced humans from the future (which mchey revealed by saying "they're us") then why did they need our help to save the earth? they obviously made it to the future in the first place right? if the blight or whatever was going to kill everyone then no one would have survived to send us help
noooo, our best bet is the warp drive
Oh no so many timelines yessss -TheFlash
white holes are mostly not believed to not exist by physicists but theoretically they could exist and long lasting worm holes are only possible if exotic matter exist which theres no evidence for right now but again it is theoretically possible
Dat hair
I didn't understand the travelling to the past using a wormhole part ?
eh, who gives a shit? we'll be long dead anyway
the sun is not growing since when has burning stuff made more stuff
the science was good, but not as good as watching Kyle go 'alright alright alright' lol
Listen to this entire video with your eyes closed. ?
Isn't a black hole really a super dense sphere of matter? How would you "come out" of it at all? It isn't actually a "hole", so you can't go into it. You would just get pulled into it and then crushed as soon as you got close to it.
X points?
For the wormholes to work for time travel though, wouldn't they have to already be created in the time that you want to go back to.. in other words, there would be a limit how far we could go back? I've heard this before but don't really understand why…
I wasted 3 hours of my time watching that movie, cuz i dun gettit
4:10 new ringtone spotted.
so we don't know they exist but if they did exist we could understand the math of it, or do we already know the math of it without the knowledge of their existence?
If white holes exist just as much as black holes do then why havnt we detected one
Well I am not going to last a billion years so.. ??
about the size of a tangerine
3:40 bullshit! you enter wormhole in 2000 an exit in 2000 you will stay there 14 years and go back so you enter 2014 and exit 2014
manipulating the quantom position of particules. you have talked about this in how heroes phase throw walls. maybe we can phase to further places. teleport by manipulating our probability of position.
4:12
The problem, of course, is that wormholes don't exist in reality. No salvation does. We are doomed, we have been doomed since our genesis as a species, and we will remain doomed until the inevitable heat death of the universe. Faith is meaningless, science cannot save us, and we are – and have ever been – completely, utterly alone.
Intelligent life is a fluke, a cosmic footnote, and eventually there will remain no trace that it ever existed at all. Everything dies, because science.
If a white hole is the exact opposite of a black hole, wouldn't that mean it'd have its own event horizon where nothing can penetrate and pass into it?
Science Thor….. Before he was Science Thor 😀
So black holes are wormholes, and black holes are further away than the closest planets?
Design a tensor field "expander/s" utilizing maybe an antimatter-powered electromagnetic field strong enough to allow an object to pass through a wormhole
2:21 Best arrow drawn 2017 10/10 ?
So time travel, lots and lots of energy and antman technology… who’s writing this down?
Due to the recent footage of 2003 U.f.o, my question of today is Where did this spacecraft come from since the closest planet is so far away. And the size of the object suggests its local space not interstellar
Alright alright alright hahahahaha
The nearest (supposedly) inhabitable planet is about 2000 years away, with current technology. If the planet is inhabitable, and would be safe for human inhabitation in ~2000 years, my question would be, how would we survive the trip? I know the original people who set off, will be well dead by the time "we" reach the planet, but what about their offspring's offspring's, offspring, etc, etc. etc. How would "we" as a species, survive such a trek?
Who cares? It was the worst, most unintelligible movie I've ever had the displeasure of seeing
The most important reason for why not to go through wormholes, is that they Only connect black holes with other black holes (inside the event horizon). So going through a worm hole can fundamentaly never solve the ‘i’m in a black hole…’ problem.
A true pitty that almost none of the science communicators communicate this fact!
Oh god, not wormholes again! This is THE SCIENCE of portal all over again!!!!!!
And this is why d&d wizards would have to be huge nerds, realistically, even if you removed vancian magic.
Because to cast "time travel" you'd have to know all these principles and calculate correctly all the variables required, or catastrophe would ensue.
That is also why spellcraft tends to be tied to your intelligence stat or equivalent in most tabletop RPGs that I've played… Because really,how is an IQ of 100 going to let you calculate this shit properly?
It isn't. You'd have to be well above that (say, 190, applying D&D's 3.5 rules for what levels of spell you can cast based on your Intelligence stat, plus the fact that it says the average number for a real person's given stat would be 10 or 11, and also the average person's iq IRL would be 100.
It is legit weird how normal this show used to be
I seem to remember reading something similar to this and if you extrapolate the science and apply it to something like Back To The Future you realise that what the DMC really was, was a portable wormhole generator that could create and sustain a wormhole that collapsed behind you as you moved through it.
The Science of White Holes was briefly explored in Red Dwarf but not in the right way, it suggested that proximity could generate a chronological loop, most notably in conversations but if the time being spewed out came from the other end of the universe I consider it more likely that you'd experience yourself saying things that other people had said or even brief moments where people not known to you appear, seemingly out of thin air, and then dissapear as quickly like an odd movie with bits missing.
If our technology reaches that level and all we could manage was not much bigger than a tangerine sized hole, then why not use technology to shrink ourselves via the space between our electrons as mentioned in the previous episodes? (The antman one if I remember correctly)
Seems at least feasible, especially if we can create friggin wormholes at that point.
Lol he so different now attitude look seems like life is good yeah
About tha size of a changerine
Oh my god your hair is so much shorter in this video. Still cute though. ?
Subscribed.
0:00 to 0:13 NOPE THAT WON'T HAPPEN MY FRIEND!!!
even if we found a wormhole at a hundredth of a millisecond we still wouldn't have any idea how to create one
I’ve got a hunch that we can “push” or “blast” a wormhole through space-time with some exotic force or energy that repels EM energy; string theory is the basis for connecting “here”, or wherever we are, to wherever “there” is.
Space rats
what about warp theory AKA bending space around you thus that you do not move but space does around you with positive energy and theoretically possible negative energy.
Wow the space/time fabric must be really elastic. I mean, it is one thing bending a sheet of paper, which had four free edge, but bending an area of space/time over a distance of billions of kilometres to create a wormhole large enough, to accommodate a spaceship, and that will last long enough to allow it to pass through; without ripping the fabric of space/time, or distorting it for lightyears in all directions? Best stick to warp drive. Make it so!?
Zero deaths
I don’t understand the need to get to another planet at all. I would think building space stations large enough to live on or habitats on inhospitable planets would be far easier than finding and reaching and getting people to another earth like world that will only experience the same problems eventually.
Do any of you remember Stargate SG 1?. That was a very interesting show about wormholes. I would like to see some of the scientific possibilities explained on another show. Needless to say it’s been four years since this last video and I think looking even farther back into some really interesting scientific shows would be warranted. After all I got all my scientific knowledge from major Sam of SG 1. I think if you delve back into this TV series it would also explain the problems with time travel and the Rosen’s bridge. It would not explain this interputation of wormhole travel from interstellar, this is just another offering of an explanation. Love the Show.
When the objects around the upper end of the wormhole have experienced 14 more years ("2014") they are not going to be magically "moved backwards" by the wormhole, are they? So when I leave the wormhole at the upper end, it is the year 2014 around me, not 2000. So where is this backwards time travel, I do not see any.
"Event Horizon"
Could changing the past affects memories like on looper or like on the flash when Barry went back in time and creates FLASHPOINT
