I Think Faster Than Light Travel is Possible. Here's Why.

This video comes with a quiz which you can take here: quizwithit.com/start_thequiz/1687737623494x5754962…

The thing I love about this channel is half the time it doesn't feel like a youtube channel, or even a documentary channel, it just feels like a professor's mid-lecture ramblings that they spend half the class talking about because they're just so damn interested in it they completely lose track of the discussion and if you ask me, those are the best ways to learn.

Clicked on this one faster than speed of light.

I really appreciate your pause in discussion at around 18 minutes to recap the present topic. You knew right when my head was starting to lag while absorbing this information. Phenomenal teaching.

8:20 You’re almost entirely made of Pure Energy. Though when I see how much time you spend watching YouTube I find that hard to believe. My new favourite quote.

Hi All, I realized too late I should have added a word about quantum mechanics: Quantum mechanics has the same speed limit (barrier!) as special relativity, and special relativity is where this barrier comes from. Therefore, quantum physics doesn't change anything about what I explained here. (Which is why I forgot to even mention it...)

“Hey, we don’t serve faster-than-light particles in here.” A tachyon walks into a bar.

Sabine, this is fantastic and funny. I'm not sure I could answer any of the quiz questions... but I will watch you again. This presentation is crazy cool.

Love this channel and Sabine's explanations, even of stuff I already know. Keep up the good work !!

Not understanding physics has been a drag all my life. For instance, I've been all into plate tectonics theory since the late 60s, and while I seemed to excel at logic, physics was a brick wall halting my ability to explain and argue my reasoning. That brick wall (my thick skull - or being lefthanded -according to teachers and parents) later interfered with my passion for studying oceanography and geology as deeply as I wanted to in the 80s and 90s. So my college degrees were light om math studies. I'm telling you this because watching your videos, the way you describe and explain things led me to discover how physics works. I can now say, at 74 years old, that I get it!!! I'm so grateful, thank you!

Thank you for having a full transcript for the close captions. You have no idea how much I appreciate. So many channels don't, so the subtitles aren't accurate, or maybe they don't even have any. I have auditory processing disorder, so I have issues understanding talking sometimes.

I do not know why youtube decided to start putting these videos in my feed. But I am loving them. She does an excellent job of explaining things in a way I can follow. Great channel!

I just absolutely love the 'simple' way Sabine explains everything and then makes a Segway into the mundane. Just love it! Surprisingly I followed most of everything she said. And I love her accent too :-) Sabine, you make me want to learn more and go back to school to learn something different. And yes, I will sign up for Brilliant (did already) - or was that a time-space loop??

"if you live in the USA, make that 20" as someone who commutes by train, I felt that.

There was a time-traveller named Wright who travelled much faster than light. He set off one day in a relative way, and arrived on the previous night.

Love this video. Very exciting to examine the nuances of these assumptions that everybody hears. I would absolutely love to see some physicists talk about these points

Thank you for covering that supposed ftl time travel paradox. I never understood the argument. I could follow it, but it never made any sense to me how bob's perception of something traveling backwards in time could somehow be used to give his past-self a message. I'd always assumed that I just couldn't grasp what was actually going on, or that I was missing something. You've renewed some confidence in my own intelligence.

This is the most awesome mixture of super high quality information and super dry super funny humor you can experience in this and all 6 parallel univeses. I love the style of Sabine 🙂

Isn’t speed always infinite from the perspective of the photon? Like, a photon from the early universe might take 13 billion years to reach us from our viewpoint— but from the photon’s view, the journey is instantaneous. Thus, our perception of “speed” (distance over time) is just an artifact of our motion experience.

This is something that has always fascinated me because I've always wondered if we would even be ABLE to see something that was travelling faster than the speed of light... I read up on the subject as best I could, and explanation goes along the lines of: It wouldn't become scientifically “invisible”, but stationary beings would not be able to see something travelling faster than light because light wouldn't have time to reflect off it and into your eyes.
