I wonder sometimes if humanity's only realistic solution for reaching beyond the solar system is very large and relatively slow self contained colonies. Should the goal even be to reach another planet? Or should we just become nomads who set out with no destination in mind, drifting from star to star, scooping up asteroid belts for materials to sustain ourselves and build more artificial habitats. Occasionally letting the people who want to get off and settle the rare habitable world we might come across, knowing that they will forever be left behind and isolated from the rest of humanity, which is itself ever more fragmented as it slowly drifts apart.

I like how we can talk about black holes and worm holes like we know how they work when all we have is theories and flawed science where we are using mathematics and quantum physics to explain something that general relativity explains yet some people won't accept more obvious assumptions that make alot more common sense like life on other planets,but will consider the miltiverse,simulation and interstellar travel through impossible black holes. Black holes .. a collapsed star so dense that it pulls things towards it crushing them down,the size of the black hole radius is equal to the size of the star,the black hole will eventually turn outward on itself when it's core mass exceeds the size of its radius,in this process of eating matter,it disperses matter in the form of gasses which go on to create new resources for clouds which form planets and stars,black holes create a lensing effect which males measuring their mass density difficult especially when looking through a telescope millions of light years away,I very highly doubt a black hole is infinitely dense and i do not tale on board guesses that a black hole acts like a worm hole where there is another side to escape from,I don't think black holes punch a hole in space time and there is ZERO proof of this We live in a universe where golden ratios and symmetry are the constant throughout our known universe,emerging life will be different but similar enough,and advanced life like our own will be more like us and will have the ability to develop just like us If you look at the very small and the very large you find the same,if you look around the known universe you find uniformity with the same elements,that golden ratio is everywhere,yet there is no life anywhere,we are in our own and they know for sure that black holes go into infinity ? No they do NOT know this unless they go inside one,come back and tell us And that is their argument as to why Einstein can't be right when it comes to the very small,also they bring up the double slit and wave function yet I really don't see any issue with a particle or photon being/acting like both a wave and a particle,photons do act like waves,and particles will be carried along in waves .. where that breaks down is where they claim that when you try to measure the experiment yet there is no solid proof of this anywhere that I have found,only hypothesis so you need to take their word for it and yet also if true,it doesn't mean freaky action or weird science,it's simply a lack of understanding what measuring is actually doing Only a few years back,they claimed time travel to the future is possible which I agree with but time travel to the past is totally impossible which I do not agree with but now you can catch them say it could well be possible ... I worked this out my self within a year of thought yet those people are academics with many years under the belt,I do not even claim to be smart but what's going on ? Same goes for black holes,there is nothing wrong with theories of how they exist or their function but no one can put claim to them being or doing anything until they can study them up close,I think black holes are cosmic recycling machines personally and I highly doubt they can be used for travel I claim bullshit on all this,science has become stagnant over the last 60 years and now clutching at straws to create excitement,interest and funding by peddling rubbish

Assuming one is able to survive the crushing gravity of a black hole, are we certain they are a "worm hole", a tear in the fabric of space, leading to another spot in the universe. What makes this idea rather more complicated is the notion that we are certain of the expanding universe. So where you happen to begin your journey in the universe to elsewhere, if you wish to return home, well home is going to be in a different location.

I agree that the problem isn't with the physics in principle, rather that the time needed between your laser reaching the event horizon and returning with the excess energy is prohibitive for our civilization today. That said, the fraction of the night sky that we've mapped within our local group today is really, REALLY small. Not to mention that it could easily be argued that given historical rates of technology innovation in other areas, our detection methods are probably also still in their infancy. So who knows how close the ACTUAL nearest black holes are (let alone binary stars). Better to keep our minds open for now, and to stay curious.

No we can't. I just thought I'd set the record straight. Why can't scientists comprehend the size and scale of the Universe? We can literally only just get to the Moon, but even that is a ultra risky journey, even in 2023. Voyager has only just left our Solar System, after half a century. We have no idea what is at the centre of Black Holes. Even if we could reach one (which we can't, and won't) then there could be an infinitely dense rock in the centre. Black Holes are objects that can crush the matter out of diamonds, then proceed to crush that matter into fundamental particles ... and probably crush those particles into something else. What are you going to build the Spaceship out of?

I have an oppinion, so use only if something resonates. To visualise how 3d environment can be a projection one may try meditation upon how Platonic solids can be built in the Metatron's cube. I feel holographic principal resonates with the Sacred geometry. For exaple, maybe inflation phase of the big bang is a way the creation unfolded from point like zero dimensions to one dimension. Than there's a possibility to build shapes, like sphere - surface from the infinite amount of points. Perfect radius. Whatever that might be for infinity. And then infinite amount of those spheres. Same perfect distance apart. And all sorts of shapes and patterns, degrees of freedom, frames of reference, every opposite. Space/time from one side of the event horizon and time/space from the other. Acceleration of mass produces the event horizon. So each our movement, each breath even if you think (emotion and thoughts also moves charge) is engraved on the event horizon on the edge of observable universe. With the limitless current of time/space from the other side. Flowing from One to One. Massless or point of infinite mass

I think the generally accepted physics of black holes is wrong. The matter inside the black hole is simply in a low entropy state so that it doesn't produce light. There is no reflection. Thusly the laser would not gain in entropy. Sling shotting around it may work to build speed. Especially if you have two black holes turning inward together. They draw the shuttle in and spit it out at some ludicrous speed.

They weren't talking about a ship...but a laser, you even mention it in your comment. Also they never said going into a black hole...actually he explicitly said as long as you (rather the laser) don't go into a black hole but rather stay on the accretion disk right at the limit of the event horizon. Lastly, he also explicitly said you wouldn't gain speed; a laser is photons (already traveling at the speed of light...they can't go faster)...the laser would steal momentum energy (in theory). You need to rewatch the video. As far as reflection, they only used the mirror as an analogy...what he said and was really talking about was gravitational lensing at 180 degrees, which only a black hole produces that...that's why pictures of black holes look like donuts. There a really good video that explains this phenomenon...the video was explaining the first photograph of a black hole.

@@gypsysanz8603 I don't think so. IMO, Photons don't interact with other photons directly. So they can't transfer momentum to each other. The laser would lose energy as the photons strike particles in the photoelectric effect. The photon has to reflect off of something and that something will cause it to lose kinetic energy.

@@Shadow_B4nned I agree, somewhat...and from what I inderstood, that would be the sail probe they strike at the end...as for reflection, I believe they were basically hypothesizing the laser doing a 180 degree by means of gravitational lensing, therefore no actual reflection...like a roundabout?

If I understood it correctly he was not talking about traveling 25 light years to then travel 4 light years...rather, we don't have a way to travel 4 light years right now but as a thought experiment we could send a laser 25 light years away to steal energy and have that laser comeback with the extra energy and facilitate our trip to a 4 light year distance neighboring system. Meaning: send laser (25ly); laser return (25ly); and use laser with extra energy (4ly) to travel...best case scenario at 100% speed of light, total 54ly! If whatever we send could achieve 25% the speed of light then total 70ly!!! Unlikely...fun thought experiment though.
