Maps and Navigation were built around that, Warfare did include astronomics, and so on. What the christians didn't accept for a while was that Earth is not the Center of our Solar System.

      Luke, with the inventory, at max with gold which has a 19.2 Ton per Cubic meter and 1Meter=1Cube, You have 9*4 place in your inventory with a 64 object per stack which gives you:9*4*64*19.2Tons=44 236.8 metirc tons or 44 236 800Kg or *2.2 =97 320 960 Pounds or the mass of a fully loaded Aircraft Carrier in your pocket, knowing a pocket has ~ The volume of a Wallet which is 9cm *5 cm*3 cm and there is for pocket so 540cubic centimer so 0.00054 cubic meter, it gives a density of: 180 224 000 000Kg/m^3 or 180 224 000Tons/m^3 or 1.80224*10^11Kg/m^3 or 1.80224*10^8Tons/m^3. The density of a neutron stars is :10^17Kg/m^3 so the millionth of the density of a neutron stars. Have a good day.

    @peterjohnson9438 8 років тому +140

    As a coder, I'll tell you a secret: the Minecraft world is a rectangular box, divided into several increasingly smaller rectangular boxes. Once you get close enough to the end of that box, another is created/loaded to give the illusion of a continuous world. Once you get far enough from the first one, it disappears.
    This is because computer games can't actually simulate reality, only a very crude approximation of it. And in the case of Minecraft, where the world is a box that consists of groups of 1x1x1m boxes, it's about as crude as it can get.

    Dear Austin:
    I am curious about the physics of Recoil Boosting, the act of using the recoil of weaponry to propel someone in the air. From games like Shantae, Devil May Cry, Jetpack Joyride, No Time to Explain, and GTA, they always show Recoil Boosting as easy and baking Hot Pockets.
    (Clearly, this is bullshit)
    Could you do a video on this subject? How many of the Engineer's infinite pistols would be needed to make a person fly? How many chainguns would be needed to fuel a commercial airliner? If the Tsar Bomba and other WMDs were repurposed into rockets, how far would they fly?

    • @SethAbercromby
      @SethAbercromby 8 років тому +4

      Randall Munroe did a take on it on xkcd What If. I'll just quote him here:
      "The GAU-8 Avenger fires up
      to sixty one-pound bullets a second. It produces almost five tons of
      recoil force, which is crazy considering that it’s mounted in a type of
      plane (the A-10 "Warthog") whose two
      engines produce only four tons of thrust each. If you put two of them in
      one aircraft, and fired both guns forward while opening up the throttle,
      the guns would win and you’d accelerate backward.
      To put it another way: If I mounted a GAU-8 on my car, put the car in
      neutral, and started firing backward from a standstill, I would be
      breaking the interstate speed limit in less than three seconds.
      As good as this gun would be as a rocket pack engine, the Russians built
      one that would work even better. The Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-6-30 weighs
      half as much as the GAU-8 and has an even higher fire rate. Its
      thrust-to-weight ratio approaches 40, which means if you pointed one at
      the ground and fired, not only would it take off in a rapidly expanding
      spray of deadly metal fragments, but you would experience 40 gees of
      acceleration.
      [...]
      But if you somehow braced the human rider, made the craft strong enough
      to survive the acceleration, wrapped it in an aerodynamic shell, and
      made sure it was adequately cooled with a GSH-6-30, you could jump mountains."

    10:28 cool proposition, ultimately incorrect. The idea of relativity is NOT that it becomes harder to accelerate as you approach the speed of light. As an observer, the planet would be slowing its acceleration, but to the player, the planet would be continuing to accelerate at a normal 9.12 m/s^2. This is because the time for observers is remaining at a constant rate, while time is slowing down for the people on the planet, meaning the planet is technically slowing down, but for the player it has no effect. This means eventually it will feel like you are moving faster than what is physically possible (reaching planets thought to be multiple light years away in mere seconds), but the planets will now seem to be very close to the planet that you are on, so the speed would appear normal to your player. So what would actually happen is the stars above the player in the minecraft world would look closer to the player as time went on.

    I've had this thought for a while, since gravity clearly has an effect on light, it makes me wonder if the gravity of a flat earth would be enough to bend light bouncing off distant points at a shallow angle to actually come back down to the surface over a long enough distance in effect making the flat earth surface actually look like a giant shallow bowl. I would imagine that if there was a large enough flat earth it might be a prominent enough effect to make it appear as if we were on the inside of a sphere with the horizon being a small circle up in the sky that looks like a hole in said sphere, lol.

  • @neurhlp
    @neurhlp 8 років тому +4

    the acceleration will only decrease from outside perspective. Because the speed will stretch time too, so the G forces will not change due to relativity. (Your argument would imply that your speed compared to an external frame of reference is detectable without comparing to the external frame, which is not. Because the G forces on your "spaceship" are internal to the "spaceship".)
    But that does not change your point at all. Chemical fuel is so ineffective anyway. It is somewhat better if you use a black-hole drive, or other more exotic propulsion device, but even that would not change things that much, because you are using propellant.

    • @Weston3243
      @Weston3243 8 років тому

      Well considering that gravity pulls with a force both based on distance and mass of the objects, the closer you got to the black hole, the faster you would accelerate.
      Also you run into the problem of passing through the Event Horizon after a while, which wouldn't be good.

    • @lordundeadrat
      @lordundeadrat 8 років тому +4

      This would only work to approximate normal gravity for a pretty short period of time. And only if the bottom of minecraft is pointed at the black hole. In truth you and minecraft would accelerate in to the black hole at nearly the same rate at first. This would create the illusion from your perspective that there wasn't any gravity worth speaking of at all. Pushing off of minecraft would send you hurling through the air. You'd never escape the black hole by jumping of course. But from your frame of reference the change of acceleration looks like micro gravity. The reality is you're just falling in a little bit slower than minecraft now.
      As you got closer to the black hole all kinds of really horrible things start to happen. Eventually the bottom of minecraft is being pulled much harder than the surface. Each layer of minecraft is stripped away from the others. Then the blocks themselves are ripped apart by the same tidal forces. Minecraft Steeve is long since dead by this point. He might be spared having his body torn in to micro sectons if the Black hole is feeding at the time. Then the astounding radioactivity of the accretion disk would fry him to death before he ever got that close.

    Acceleration is a vector, so changing your direction counts as acceleration. You can just go in a circle, you don't actually have to keep speeding up.

    • @draconicgaming8706
      @draconicgaming8706 8 років тому +2

      A Troll Named Rod not a circle. You'd still be accelerating an an increasing rate, even when you don't seem to travel at all. The Speed of Light isn't a distance, it's a velocity. Eliminating the distance factor doesn't change the acceleration and velocity vector.
      I believe you are using the logic of inertia, which is an object's ability to resist a change in motion. However, even that is flawed, as an object closer to the center or rotation will not be moving as quickly as a person at the edge, the effect only getting more intense the closer the center or rotation. If this were the case, we would notice a very significant gravity difference from one pole to the next. Rotating the disk only adds more inertial force to the edges of the disk. Based on the logo of the flat earth society, people in the northern hemisphere would see the least difference in inertia, but the Southern Hemisphere would see the highest. Considering the gravity of earth is fairly consistent throughout the planet (again, relative), the rotation vector can't be it either.
      Basically, having a flat earth go around in a circle would create a very noticeable difference in g-forces towards the center of rotation. Not the center of the disk, the center or rotation. And that has little to do with gravity. That's physics for amateurs!

      I'm pretty sure that it would be because if you were standing on it and it stopped accelerating, both you and the flat world would be drifting through space at the same speed. If you pushed off of it to try to walk or something, you would then be moving faster than your world, pretty much making you float away.

    • @LegoegoBanana
      @LegoegoBanana 8 років тому +4

      you would need acceleration to make that artificial gravity, as Jordan said if you just pushed off of the flat earth, you would be making your velocity greater than earths, basically meaning that there is no artificial gravity.

      True.

      Erattic8 in space there's hydrogen atoms creating friction, slowing it down. Even if you were to ignore that, it would keep on moving just not accelerating, meaning that gravity would work differently. It would move at a constant speed that wouldn't change, so you'd fall at a constant speed without accelerating, which is not how gravity works in minecraft or in real life (it is required for it to work in real life as well, because this whole theory's basis is the equivalence principle)

      Using your logic, things would come to a stop when traveling in space, which would eliminate asteroids and comets, and the big bang theory wouldn't have actually worked, as things immediately started slowing down with friction to a standstill in space.

    5:59 even if it's spread out... you would calculate the gravitational attraction using F = Gm1m2/r^2 using you and the minecraft world as m1m2, and the distance between you and the centre of mass of the minecraft world as r, so the gravity is not negligible, and would get weaker as you got further away from the centre of mas as gravity gets weaker, and the gravity would be in the direction of the centre of mass, so it would be pulling you more and more sideways as you got closer to the edge

    You made one small error shoddy. If a body accelerates at 9.81 m/s^2 (acceleration due to gravity), it will take less than a year to reach the speed of light. V (final)= V0 (initial)+a*t. Since we know a, and make v= 299,792,458 m/s (speed of light), and v0=0 (starting from a dead stop) we find that to reach the speed of light takes approx. 30,559,883 seconds...divide by 60 seconds to give minutes...divide by 60 minutes to give hours, and finally by 24 hours to give days which equals 353.7 days.
    Also, to those out there stating that light still accelerates away from you at the speed of light from your frame of reference, that is true, BUT you are still accelerating at the speed of light in the reference frame of the universe, which has the speed of light speed limit.

  • @WhirligigGirl

    Good video, but a few points:
    I would like to note that as the ship reaches relativistic speeds, it wouldn't actually "feel" like it's accelerating less, it would only appear from a stationary observer to be accelerating less. Because of the time dilation, you would still feel ~1g of acceleration the whole time. This is because you must always be consistent in your own reference frame. Sure, the sky might get blue shifted and meteorites would blow holes in the crust, but on the planet itself the world must remain consistent with itself.
    There's also a point about the rocket. As anyone who plays KSP well knows, Nuclear rocket engines (and to a lesser extent, other chemical rockets) can be far more efficient than the F-1 rocket engines of the Saturn V. While in the long run we still need planet-sized reaction mass, using a barrage of nuclear bombs (Orion Nuclear Pulse style) for propulsion or an open cycle gas core Nuclear Thermal Rocket would make the rocketworld considerably smaller in propellant mass.
    Perhaps it is more realistic to propose that Minecraft is on an absolutely huge, slow rotating centrifuge?
