Why isn’t anybody on my dash, like, super pumped about the Orion launch this morning? This ship is built to go farther than any manned ship ever built before. This is the ship that takes humans to deep space. This is the ship that takes humans to Mars. It had its test launch this morning and its kind of a big deal because this is the ship that’s gonna bring in a new era of space travel. Welcome to the Mars age.
Let’s do a Wild Hunt larp where we kidnap Jeff Bezos and release him in the forest and then give all the larpers (who are amazon employees) weird masks and motorbikes painted to look like fucked up horses and wolves.
Somewhat disturbed at how fast this post started picking up notes.
don’t set out food if you don’t want us to eat
i love that i can’t write the word fuck on facebook without risking getting zucced and here I’m greeted everyday by posts like this

i'm very tired and i just read "light-speed space travel" as "light WEED space travel" and instantly 100% accepted it without a doubt
Ayyy lmao 👽👽👽
hues-of-green-life-deactivated2 asked:
I know this is out of the blue, but can you explain how light-speed space travel works so that my dumbass understands it lmao i am a sort of space aficionado but these things are just to hard for me to completely grasp... Also, do you read? Because I just reread a space opera that poses the theory of parallel universes and its just absolutely brilliant. It's The Illuminae Files trilogy. The authors had specialists help with theory and such so the books are very realistic in terms of physics etc

I haven’t read that I’ll check it out!! And it’s totally understandable that things like the prospect of light speed travel are hard to comprehend because humans have never done it before. It’s unimaginably fast! Uncomprehendable!
Theoretically, to travel at the speed of light, you’d need an infinite amount of energy. This is because the faster something travels, the more relativistic mass it has, the more momentum it has, etc. and so at concentrations of high mass things start gettin weird, like black holes, they bend spacetime because they’re so massive. So the closer to the speed of light you go, the closer you get to infinite relativistic mass, and the more you stretch spacetime. If you were traveling at the speed of light, from your perspective the universe would rapidly age before you, similarly to what it would look like if you were sitting at the event horizon of a black hole. In one case you have infinite speed, in another infinite mass. E=mc^2.
Its the second book, and towards the end. The plot develops in a jumpstation called Heimdall that connects 7 systems that would be thousand of lifetimes away from each other in normal speed.
I just deleted an entire essay of gibberish right now… Just tried to explain it but failed miserably lmao better you read it. Its really cool. Maybe you’d give your opinion on it when you read. That’d be awesome 😉😉😉😉
I read somewhere on this website that lightspeed travel was sort of shortening the space in between the place you’re at and the place you wanna get to. It even had drawings and all. And i reread it like a million times but I could never wrap my head around that. I even @‘ed nasa on twitter with the question. It was bugging me so hard. (they never answered btw lol)
I kinda understood with your explanation. The whole space aging before my eyes as I travel through it. Super cool.
Reminds me of a pic Nasa took of a galaxy God knows how far away and said that the lights shown in the pics were as old as our dinosaurs. Saw it on twitter today; I looked it up so you see what i saw. These things are just too much!
Sorry if i rambled too much, space and astrophysics are just so fascinating but my brain is just not built for this kind of information lmaoooo
Thanks!
P.s. pls know that i will come back to you with more questions about stuff like this, pls dont hate me 🙈
Gosh I wish there were more people like you that are so eager to learn about this stuff!!!! Oh I could probably take my whole life trying to explain certain aspects of how the universe works but because our human brains just can’t comprehend so much of it it’s quite the challenge!! I could recommend some crash course and ted talk type YouTube videos to you if you’d like!! Those people can explain it so much better than I can with just trying to write it out.

How tf are you so chill about an anon saying “hypothetically I made a time/space travel devise” wtf
I’m a physicist these things happen occasionally
