Oh Idk about that. The event horizon isn't a thing. It's a mathematical balancing point. If the black hole goes away there isn't a event horizon any more.
Planetes (2003-2004) is sci-fi series about space exploration in a near future, produced by Sunrise studio. I strongly recommend it. It's like 2001:Space Odyssey but with budget cuts instead killer AI as a main villain.
7:00 "one of the rules in physics is that information can't be destroyed". I have heard that many times, but never seen a formula where information is part of. Question: How do you count information, and what is the unit in the MKSA system? (MKSA = Meter, Kilogram, Second, Ampere)
Long time fan! Me and my wife loved “Tales from the loop” it was a limited series and unfolded in a very fun way. 😅 We also need some good shows to watch like Silo, severance, and Sense8.
Hey Fraser, love your work. Thank you so much for your channel and insights into space and technology. Question: do you think it might be possible/cheaper to send a mobile lab to Mars and analyze the samples there, instead of trying to return the samples to earth?
That's effectively what the various Mars rovers and landers (like Perseverance and its predecessors) are. The issue is they can't have all the instruments we'd like, because of mass limitations and the fact they need to endure the journey.
I have a big list of sci-fi anime for you, all these have an English dub too. Movies: Paprika, Blame!, Belle, and Harmony Shows: Planetes, Orbital Children, Star Blazers, Dead Dead Demons DeeDee Destruction, Gate, Steins Gate, Listeners, Kaiju No 8, Ninja Kamui, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, Heavenly Delusion, Metalic Rogue, The Promised Neverland, Deca-Dense, Go! Go! Loser Ranger, Sakugan Labyrinth Marker, Dimension W, Made in Abyss, Psycho Pass, and Ghost in the Shell. The last few have both movies and shows.
Oh and one of those got autocorrected and has like a 1hr episode 0 which is Dead Dead Demons Dededede Destruction, it's about life after an alien mothership just shows up and hangs out for many years b4 doing anything.
I think it would work great on the Moon thanks to no atmosphere and 1/6 gravity. I think SpinLaunch has a lot of interesting ideas but I think they're a couple decades too early to be viable.
My wife and i were pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed “Automata” staring Antonio Banderas. Ai robotics, humanities future. Pretty great, but apparently boomed in the box office?
Have you seen Legends of the Galactic Heroes? There are a few versions, I think, but the newest one is the best, apparently. I very much want to watch it. It looks fantastic
so ive read or heard that solar panels have a newer mechanism that can repel dust particles to prevent build up on the surface (which would reduce efficiency/electricity generation). my question is: does it repel more than just dust particles? does it have any shielding properties in relation to radiation?
I think that’s using a tiny charge like static electricity might draw dust, this is opposite charge to repel it. I think radiation has too much energy for that system.
Dark Matter isn't great but it's a memorable sci-fi ride lol Always recommend more Firefly! Ascension is a great miniseries. It's not sci-fi but Fall of Civilizations is my far my fav podcast of the past couple years now. Get it in book form now if you prefer paper! But their video form on UA-cam is fantastic! 📋 🎥
A lot of it has more to do with Earth-Mars political tensions, but the Zone of the Enders anime, along with its related game "The Fist of Mars" are cool to check out. They touch on a lot of plausible subjects and things like Deimos having a docking station and Martian-born citizens being very weak compared to those born on Earth. If you like Kojima and Gundam stuff, even better. Much more of a hard sci-fi.
@@frasercain they copy the US , not fairly either but by stealing data and using hot chinese women as spies , they will do whatever it takes to beat the US , they want global dominance , and will destroy anyone in there way if they can, don't be fooled by china , America is there main target to destroy
For scifi recommendations, I'm guessing you've probably watched all the Star Trek series, all the Star Wars movies and shows, all the Matrix and Terminator movies, Stargate SG1, Farscape, Doctor who, all the Alien movies as well as 2001 and 2010, Gravity, The Martian and Interstellar. If you haven't watch all of the above, my I recommend all of the above?
Question: How does relativity affect equations like the impulse equation? If I’m in a slower time reference frame and exert 5N for 15 seconds will an observer in a faster time reference frame observe I’m using more force than I actually am?
I wouldn't say so as a general statement. Real Earth labs are too heavy to ship to anyplace else. However, NASA's current plan carries a price tag which would eliminate missions with a much better probability of return on investment. IDK what China is planning to fund before sending people, but any crewed mission to the surface would also include a sample return anyway.
I think China will be the first to return the Mars sample. They're very good and determined. And their technology is first class. To send people to Mars is a different kettle of fish. It's going to be tremendously difficult to pull it off without killing anybody on the way.
Fraser. I have heard about the information paradox before, but I do not understand why Physicists believe information must be preserved. Could you explain the reason(s) for that presumption? Why is that important?
Hey Fraser, uhm, I am getting my Sci-Fi recommendations from YOU, so I don't think I have any... I have heard the Scavengers Reign creators have made a new show called Common Side Effects, I haven't seen it yet, but it is on my to-do list. Not what you requested, but 1000xRESIST is a pretty good Sci-Fi game, which I imagine your wife might enjoy too. But now I also have an additional question for you as well. With your southern neighbour country with its current president getting a bit creepy, I am now curious about the following: What are your thoughts/opinion at the moment on the Canadian Space Agency possibly maybe joining ESA or your country Canada itself perhaps joining the EU? Hypothetically of course. :)
Steins gate and the sequel. The animation is good ( not great ) but the story is one of the most fascinating ideas but it has a unique way of deeply investing you into the characters, emotionally. Think titanic meets terminator . 50 episodes plus a movie . Hope you enjoy
If we keep launching rockets east from the equator, how long would it take to have a measurable effect on earth's rotation? Assuming they never come back
Are you talking about how much rocket launches will effect Earth's rotation? I don't think if you took every energy source mankind could muster and apply it against the rotation, intentionally, that it would make any difference. But, interesting question.
1.5 trillion launches of 150 tons to LEO is only 0,00000000376745588% of the entire earth's mass(using 5.9722x10^24) which is an insanely small fuel to mass ratio
I agree 100%, Fraser. China will be the first to bring back samples from Mars. China was smart to follow the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) principle--just grab some samples from an interesting place and then send them back to Earth. I think NASA/ESA should have done the same thing and then followed up with a second sample return mission using the Perseverance rover collecting samples that would be sent back to earth.
@ I agree 100% and I agree with the plans to come up with the plans to get them. I just wish that years ago we had planned a simpler mission that would have grabbed a small sample , even if it was a few grams, and returned them to Earth. *EDIT* Forgot the word “sample”.
Hey Fraser How is it possible for black holes to increase in mass? Say I throw a 1kg mass towards a 10 million stellar mass black hole (and my aim is good) then, as I understand it, from my point of view it takes an infinite amount of time for the 1kg mass to cross the event horizon, and therefore the black hole will remain at its original mass(?). So how does the black hole increase in mass? Thanks :-)
I'm not sure I fully understand all the connections between crossing the event horizon, being part of the mass of the black hole, how and when orbits are affected, and whatever else I'm missing, but Thank You.

Hi Fraser, is it actually beneficial for us to not find life on Mars? It will mean that we don't have to deal with biological or ethical implications of terra forming Mars.
"Who decides what the JWST telescope looking at"? Haven't you answered this question loads of times already? I've asked loads of very good questions, but you haven't answered one! Don't worry, I'm not that sore about it! 🙂
It all depends on where and when you answer the question, and which answers Anton and Chad decide to put into episodes. The guaranteed place to get the questions answered is for the patrons questions show. We answer every single question that we get there.
Ah! Why does nobody reference rocket lab for mars sample return?? Blue Origin has one successful orbital flight and rocket lab has dozens, including a moon launch and they've stated they can get this done cheaper and faster, but it's like they're invisible??
Chinas been neck and neck with the US in space. American propaganda would have you believe otherwise but the US is starting to fall behind, kinda by a lot too
The NASA sample return mission got a case of unsustainable cost growth. They did a replan, came up with the two cheaper alternatives in the video ... and then punted the final decision to the Trump administration. So now, not only will China be first, there's a possibility Trump will cancel Mars Sample Return outright.
I bet you've never seen one called Firefly... It got canned after 14 episodes. That's a joke, and it still hurts... Anyways, have you seen Eureka (2006-2012)? It was not obscure, but a lot of people missed it somehow. It stars Colin Ferguson and the chemistry of the cast is second only to Stargate.
Just in case you missed this part: Have you seen Eureka (2006-2012)? It was not obscure, but a lot of people missed it somehow. It stars Colin Ferguson and the chemistry of the cast is second only to Stargate.
Probably a stupid question, but... why is losing information to a black hole a paradox? Why does information need to be preserved? Is this some "law" of the universe or just something that makes math makers fussy?
Secretly, off camera, I know, for absolute certain, that Fraser is rolling his eyes so much at these MORONIC questions that his eyes roll so far back in his head that he can see right down his spine and out his own a-hole....
Why US don't let China retrieve the Perserverance samples? It won't be a 1st for both, but it would spread the expenses and and help with their tense relations, is not like the samples were US advance technology for the chinese to steal, and with the US retrieval mission, chinese scientists still can ask for samples and viceversa with the Chinese retrieval mission.
It's too much of a sample to return, the Chinese one will be just a few grams, probably. Also, the US has all kinds of rules against working with Chinese companies for space exploration.
If star formation rate was higher a few billion years back in the galaxy doesnt that make it statistically more likely that the first life formed there somewhere and then hitched a ride on some rock to come to earth? That would also give evolution a few more billion years so kind of explain why even "simple" arcaic bacteria allready have such a complex machinery
That's not impossible. After they land on the Moon, I could see China making an effort to land a human on Mars before 2040, and that would be close to when the US will probably get their samples back.
Worldend: What do yo do at the end of the world.... (aka Suka Suka) is a Sci-Fi/Fantasy anime you might enjoy watching. "Quark" is a very shortlived SciFi comedy/parody TV show from the 70's that is good for a laugh.
Yeah, I double check right after posting to ban their accounts from the channel. They just keep creating new ones with every video. I don't understand how UA-cam can't deal with this.
@@frasercain”…UA-cam can’t deal with this…” Yup. It’s money, money, money. Bots provide engagement which UA-cam can turn around to advertisers for higher rates. So capitalism provides perverse incentive for UA-cam to NOT do anything about bots. They’d need to apply effort and end up earning less.
It's interesting that you covered how teams can request time on Webb and upload their observing info, then download the results... Then you said that AI can't do real science because it doesn't have hands.
Re: mars sample return. Someone else may bring back the first couple kilograms of mars rocks, but we know who will bring back the first several tons. When the robo-Starships go to set up preliminary shop there, some of them will be returning to earth for more stuff to ferry over. On the return trip, they will have Starships' worth of payload available to bring back dumpsterloads of samples.
my thoughts are just send something that can analyze the samples on mars instead of trying to ship them back to earth? one way ticket compared to 2 way. want "human control"? give it 2 tesla bot arms/hands
There's no way we could send an experiment to Mars that could do anything like the massive labs here on Earth. They're still learning new things from the Apollo samples returned 50 years ago.
We would have to send an entire lab and all of the equipment that we could ever possibly use to analyze the samples, in order to gain the same amount of information. There is a reason they did it the way they did.
@@frasercain didnt think about it like that! my brain keeps going to: with todays technology, we can send all the relevant information of what weve learned here on earth and put it into practice through a bot that can take the info and be controlled similar to how they control the rovers. also would not need protection from radiation, oxygen, water or a specific pressure that a human would. just my thoughts, love your work, thanks for the reply!
@@sheariley1910 what would we need besides a tiny clean room with a field of different scientific instruments (the same ones we use here, but outfitted for robotics) and a robotic arm? Genuinely curious because i dont know all of the specifics, im no expert obviously lol
sounds cheaper and less time to send a box with an arm and 100 different analyzing instruments than wait through all the new designs and breakthroughs that happen everyday is all im saying
Ai watching proteins fold? Im so baffled as to what ai is.. is it basically computers and 1&0s right? Im used to Ai in games. But chat ais. Driving ai drones ai. But its all just programming.. Right?
If it’s traditional (not quantum) computing then it’s all 1’s and 0’s. AI is just the latest label applied to the latest algorithms. BUT, the new thing about AI is its resistance to analysis. Until recently output from algorithms could be thoroughly understood. AI, be they neural networks, LLMs, or transformers is now unfathomable, we don’t yet have tools to explain why the computer answers one way or another. But, so what? AI safety is what. We’re putting AI to more and more tasks that have measurable consequences. AI in games is inconsequential. AI stock traders, war-zone target choosing, deep-faking important people… AI can do serious damage and we may not know how to stop it.
@CarFreeSegnitz okay your last paragraph. Doesn't it have to set to the task? Like make a fake of Putin or Trump saying something. Or make a dirty film of the two. For Blackmail or something? The not accepting criticism is very interesting. Ai targeting interesting implications depending on how liberal with fire power an army is. And who's accountable. But people don't seem to be held to account anyway. Forgive my ignorance but couldn't it be unplugged? Does ai have self preservation? Does it have "fight" or "flight"
It seems like that's a lot of different applications. Obviously a targeting ai won't grow legs. Could a S. EX bot like jump off its platform and make a Facebook profile and arrange a marriage to someone? And open a joint account?

Just in case you missed this part: Have you seen Eureka (2006-2012)? It was not obscure, but a lot of people missed it somehow. It stars Colin Ferguson and the chemistry of the cast is second only to Stargate.
Yup, I saw Eureka.
Probably a stupid question, but... why is losing information to a black hole a paradox? Why does information need to be preserved? Is this some "law" of the universe or just something that makes math makers fussy?
china or spaceX ?
Maybe both?
(Spacex could easily move to china)
Gravity seems to be the root of this dilemma.

USA should ask China if they could pickup their samples 😂

Secretly, off camera, I know, for absolute certain, that Fraser is rolling his eyes so much at these MORONIC questions that his eyes roll so far back in his head that he can see right down his spine and out his own a-hole....
You’d be wrong. I really enjoy them. The trick is to give an answer that also includes tidbits that even advanced folks didn’t know.
Why US don't let China retrieve the Perserverance samples? It won't be a 1st for both, but it would spread the expenses and and help with their tense relations, is not like the samples were US advance technology for the chinese to steal, and with the US retrieval mission, chinese scientists still can ask for samples and viceversa with the Chinese retrieval mission.
It's too much of a sample to return, the Chinese one will be just a few grams, probably. Also, the US has all kinds of rules against working with Chinese companies for space exploration.
If star formation rate was higher a few billion years back in the galaxy doesnt that make it statistically more likely that the first life formed there somewhere and then hitched a ride on some rock to come to earth? That would also give evolution a few more billion years so kind of explain why even "simple" arcaic bacteria allready have such a complex machinery
The Chinese will have people on Mars before the NASA et al manages to get those samples back
That's not impossible. After they land on the Moon, I could see China making an effort to land a human on Mars before 2040, and that would be close to when the US will probably get their samples back.
why do we need science when we have AI? because science created AI at the very least
China very obviously
Should the SpaceX rockets now include swastikas as a part of their livery?
I'll let you know if I see any.
Ridiculous pearl-clutching.

Worldend: What do yo do at the end of the world.... (aka Suka Suka) is a Sci-Fi/Fantasy anime you might enjoy watching.
"Quark" is a very shortlived SciFi comedy/parody TV show from the 70's that is good for a laugh.

'Almost Human'. Great s/f tv show. Unfortunately short-lived
Yeah, we watched that one.
These bot replies are sure silly
Yeah, I double check right after posting to ban their accounts from the channel. They just keep creating new ones with every video. I don't understand how UA-cam can't deal with this.
@@frasercain”…UA-cam can’t deal with this…” Yup. It’s money, money, money. Bots provide engagement which UA-cam can turn around to advertisers for higher rates. So capitalism provides perverse incentive for UA-cam to NOT do anything about bots. They’d need to apply effort and end up earning less.
Im sure advertisers love paying for youtube to advertise to bots.
It's interesting that you covered how teams can request time on Webb and upload their observing info, then download the results... Then you said that AI can't do real science because it doesn't have hands.

Re: mars sample return. Someone else may bring back the first couple kilograms of mars rocks, but we know who will bring back the first several tons. When the robo-Starships go to set up preliminary shop there, some of them will be returning to earth for more stuff to ferry over. On the return trip, they will have Starships' worth of payload available to bring back dumpsterloads of samples.
Wow. These questions are AWFUL…
my thoughts are just send something that can analyze the samples on mars instead of trying to ship them back to earth? one way ticket compared to 2 way. want "human control"? give it 2 tesla bot arms/hands
There's no way we could send an experiment to Mars that could do anything like the massive labs here on Earth. They're still learning new things from the Apollo samples returned 50 years ago.
We would have to send an entire lab and all of the equipment that we could ever possibly use to analyze the samples, in order to gain the same amount of information. There is a reason they did it the way they did.
@@frasercain didnt think about it like that! my brain keeps going to: with todays technology, we can send all the relevant information of what weve learned here on earth and put it into practice through a bot that can take the info and be controlled similar to how they control the rovers. also would not need protection from radiation, oxygen, water or a specific pressure that a human would. just my thoughts, love your work, thanks for the reply!
@@sheariley1910 what would we need besides a tiny clean room with a field of different scientific instruments (the same ones we use here, but outfitted for robotics) and a robotic arm? Genuinely curious because i dont know all of the specifics, im no expert obviously lol
sounds cheaper and less time to send a box with an arm and 100 different analyzing instruments than wait through all the new designs and breakthroughs that happen everyday is all im saying
3-6 months ago, I would've said NASA, with China doing it about a year after for 1/10 the cost.
Not sure about that now.
starship will never land on mars
When canada becomes part of USA you can join in the celebration when American astronauts step on mars!
“When” !? Make that “if”… a big “IF”!
I'm assuming the Chinese will bring a Canadian when they get there first. ;-)

AGI 2029 despite people hying it up this year. ASI 2030. The singularity 2030.
Ai watching proteins fold? Im so baffled as to what ai is.. is it basically computers and 1&0s right? Im used to Ai in games. But chat ais. Driving ai drones ai. But its all just programming.. Right?
If it’s traditional (not quantum) computing then it’s all 1’s and 0’s. AI is just the latest label applied to the latest algorithms.
BUT, the new thing about AI is its resistance to analysis. Until recently output from algorithms could be thoroughly understood. AI, be they neural networks, LLMs, or transformers is now unfathomable, we don’t yet have tools to explain why the computer answers one way or another.
But, so what? AI safety is what. We’re putting AI to more and more tasks that have measurable consequences. AI in games is inconsequential. AI stock traders, war-zone target choosing, deep-faking important people… AI can do serious damage and we may not know how to stop it.
@CarFreeSegnitz okay your last paragraph. Doesn't it have to set to the task? Like make a fake of Putin or Trump saying something. Or make a dirty film of the two. For Blackmail or something?
The not accepting criticism is very interesting.
Ai targeting interesting implications depending on how liberal with fire power an army is. And who's accountable. But people don't seem to be held to account anyway.
Forgive my ignorance but couldn't it be unplugged? Does ai have self preservation? Does it have "fight" or "flight"
It seems like that's a lot of different applications. Obviously a targeting ai won't grow legs.
Could a S. EX bot like jump off its platform and make a Facebook profile and arrange a marriage to someone? And open a joint account?
