The mass of the object remains the same when accelerating, it is the force required to accelerate the spacecraft what increases so that you'd theoretically need infinite force to get to the actual speed of light with an object whose mass isn't zero. This is a consequence of the definition of the relativistic momentum of a massive object.
+Anton Petrov 10:50 before launching Halley's comet, the launch velocity had changed to about 10% the speed of light... a decimal place was missed out.
Someone should put the graphics of SpaceEngine in UniverseSandbox.
+The Yangem
"Graphics settings" exists for a reason.
Then the computer nukes your house.
Try in the same simulation to place a black hole beside the object's trajectory going at light speed, to see if the hole bends the trajectory and avoid a crash on Earth
LINKINPARK4EVER1996 it wouldn't mostly do anything. the effect of gravity is relative to the speed of the object approaching it and the distance between the two objects. if the asteroid came really close to the event horizon, it will get deflected. but the angle of deflection will quickly start to decrease as you go beyond event horizon.
Sahil Pethe Thank you
...what about Canada?.....:( we get blasted by a voyager one going at lightspeed and he doesn't point us out :( l
"There's Norway, anybody would be able to survive this!"
Vikings are tough.
"Absolutely nobody would survive this"
Cockroach: I got this.
Tardigrade: what explosion?
SPOILERS FOR THE LAST JEDI,
this happens in the movie, but with two ships. the rebel cruiser rams into Snoke’s Star destroyer, causing a huge explosion.
Charles Pellegrino's novels "Flying to Valhalla" and "The Killing Star" explore this concept. He imagines RKVs, as well as ordinary spacecraft, propelled by matter-antimatter annihilation to about 0.92c. What's unsettling is that once one civilization develops annihilation-powered spacecraft, it has an incentive to see any other civilization that develops them as a potential threat, as well as the means to eliminate that threat.
Love the new intro.
Nice to see your channel growing so quickly Anton :) I've been here since you had >5,000 subs, and I love to see your progress!
Love this channel! Keep up the great work! :)
The important thing to remember about the speed of light is that as the traveller the distance in front of you shrinks as you approach the speed of light. This means that even though technically you never 'reach the speed of light', you can cover 4 light years in much much faster than 4 years just by travelling at 9/10s light speed. That speed would shrink the distance in front of you by the lorentz factor, which is about 2.23 in this case, so you'd travel less than 2 light years to the object (as you'd perceive it) at almost the speed of light, travelling four light years as observed from earth in 2 years or less as experienced by you. Earth would still see your journey taking slightly more than four years. Confused yet?
Dude, thanks for killing me....RIP East Coast Inhabitants. RIP Me, I'm dead. XD
Anton, and Ridddle have the coolest videos on youtube.
I know I had a random planet in Space Engine which had two moons. These moons had so strange orbits that they touched each other sometimes. That didn't look very great...😑😑
They must merge till they big and fat and weird orbits
mass will not get larger when approaching speed of light, it's inertia is what is going up (resistance to accelerate). Mass of a object stays the same.
An object moving at the speed of light would probably turn into energy when it hits the atmosphere since it's moving at (less than) 299.792.458 m/s. Something comparable would be the particles in the Large Hadron Collider. This energy would be released together with the kinetic energy of the object creating an unbelievably large explosion. Pretty cool to think about... :)
I love your channel the stuff you do is interesting
omg a furry '-' :P
omg a.. car? '________' :P
wut
same!
Roynx Fox hi fellow furry
japan killed thousands
Extremely near the speed of light, each Particle constituting an object would carry a charge of roughly 25 trillion electron volts. At those energies, an object just 30 meters wide would glance through our atmosphere, the earth's crust, and into the mantle, without hardly noticing it. Before you could blink your eye (literally), the opposite side of the planet would be bulging and turning into plasma from the incomprehensible amount of energy being transferred through it. Everything we've ever known or loved, would be gone in an instant, and our planet would be a cloud of plasma, which would be pulled into and consumed by the sun. THAT, is what would happen with a light speed impact.
About relativistic kill vehicles.
Once a proton was detected travelling at ~99.99999999999999999999951% of the speed of light. It had the same energy as a baseball travelling at 26 m/s.
2 black holes colliding could create MASSIVE AMOUNTS of energy with its shockwave
What if the earth hit light at the speed of spaceship?
Error you broke physics XD
Nothing
I would really like it if you go into relativistic equations and talk more about the Lorentz factor and how at very high speeds there are drastic changes in the value of the Lorentz factor (in the next videos. I love your videos as they are interesting and informational. Thanks for making them.
Many scientists have said that a craft travelling at the speed of light would build up so much energy that it would destroy the planet it was travelling to. That you would have to aim it at slightly off.
Oh lol you said my name Free shout out xD 4:22
Dat not ure name
If aliens threw our trash back at us?
That would be the world's biggest burn.🔥
+Anton Petrov> please play scanner sombre. it's about going through a huge cave with no light and a LIDAR scanner. it's amazing you should try it.
Love the new introduction Anton
1:11 Dopest Drift Ever !
This gets me thinking, if the xindi in star trek enterprise really wanted to destroy earth, they didnt have to go through all this trouble building a crazy weapon, they could have just launched one or a few ships or asteroids at the planet and there they go, easy, no mess 😂
Tech speaking lightspeed has nothing to do with light. A More appropriate name would be the speed of causality. I.e the only speed any object without mass can travel anything with mass even on the smallest imaginable scale can only get close but never catch up or exceed so if the speed of causality is the only speed a massless object can go then matter occupies everything else in between. From 0 to 99.999 repeating % speed of causality. We call it lightspeed because it's by far the easiest massless object to actually observe and calculate and was the first clue to what exactly the universal speed limit is in its purest form! Leading us to a deeper understanding of the universe as a whole :)
Einstein's theory has never really been put to the 'acid test'. So Faster than Light speeds may well be possible, outside of our solar system.
If something moved at the speed of light, the formula would indicate infinite energy, if there is mass, that's why foto so which have no mass can move at the speed of light.
(launches a bowling ball at earth and destroys asia) Welp, i'm going to be scared of bowling balls now.
Wow. If an alien spacecraft travelled at light-speed and accidentally crashed into Earth, we'd definitely know about it!
Use the tardis plz
Mass doesn't change with velocity; momentum does.
Can you try to recreate the entire Local Group using the galaxies in the game?
Tip: To get Milky Way and Andromeda, go to the collision simulation and separate them from each other, about 2.5 million lightyears
After that add some other galaxies which serve as satellite galaxies of Milky Way and Andromeda, and Triangulum is in the Galaxies menu
Very interesting video thanks!
The experiment with Voyager 1 going at light speed and hitting the earth won't do anything as big as what you've seen in Universe Sandbox 2. Especially if it was in the sea because the damn thing would be slowed down by the atmosphere and water!
If you have mass you can never move at the speed of life
The Flash: Hold my beer
By the time you hear the air raid sirens, you've already been burned alive.
This is the solution to the Fermi Paradox right here.
I don't believe a bowling ball would create that big of an impact, lol.
Well, our ice caps melted twenty thousand times faster than we expected.
Are we dead yet?
Hence why the rail gun is such a devastatingly powerful weapon. All the force of a nuke, but none of the fallout. Incidentally, if an alien race wanted to kill all humans, this video shows just how futile a human resistance would be. Even without acceleration they could just throw rocks at the Earth until humanity dies or surrenders.
nice video interesting great commentary :)
The Explosion shown from the 5KG bowling ball was orders of magnitude larger than 150MT. with afirebal of that size, it's more likely to be i nthe GT-Range.
It would pass straight through. You'd notice a shockwave, and that would be about it.
Love your videos man . (y)
It is not bigger than what "killed the dinosaurs". Your 800kg craft resulted in aprox 2 Teraton explosion (2 million megatons). Asteroid you refer to released around 50 times more energy (more than 100 Teraton).
Check en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicxulub_crater and
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNT_equivalent
I think "a little bit more powerful" might be an understatement, the explosion looks like an impact that killed off the dinosaurs. An explosion twice the size of Tsar Bomba wouldn't even destroy 1/3 of Taiwan, a small island off the coast of mainland China. I think mathematically, 150 MT might be right, but the game simulation doesn't reflect that well.
Yeah but which is cooler?
Not omega. Gamma is the usual convention when representing the Lorentz Factor.
Man you like blowing the Earth up.
Plot twist, it was decelerating when it hit earth at light speed.
In star wars , the death star destroys planet by accelerating a mass to almost the light speed . the kinetic energy produced by the object is enough to destroy the planet.
If something with mass were traveling at the speed of light it would have infinite energy. It wouldn't just destroy the earth. It would destroy the universe.
Nice catch! Well played sir.
Don't hit North America I live there
Don't worry, no matter where it hits, everyone dies...
Stupid europussy
Lucas Morais stupid **INSERT RACE HERE**
Firel Playz Dont Mess with the Mexicans. Their chanclas aim is out of this world.
Danielle Pasley hit north korea
What about a Photon/Quantum Torpedo Fired at warp 9? Star Trek... it is basically my idea of dealing with the borg... a Nasell Gun.
Great vid, but saying mass increases when you approach the speed of light is completely wrong. Kenetic energy increases and approaches infinity if you have mass.
u would need to koordinate a thing around the gravitational fields to accelerate so there would be a way to travel really fast singshot over slingshot precalculated
In the beginning I thought you were going to crash in the same place as the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs.
I'd feel better as a whole if the title had an "A" right between the words "If" and "Spaceship"
What if we made a giant cartridge containing nukes as propellant, and very very stiff material casing and projectile? Could its projectile reach anything close to the speed of light?
Already did this but nevertheless still entertaining to watch
I did not know the info about not being able to reach Light speed, because of mass.. thanks
If two objects are hitting each other close to lightspeed the force would be bigger than lightspeed
My life!!!!! What have you done to me!!!
The smallest asteroid wouldn't create that big of a explosion proved by bill nye
It creates a huge explosion because all its mass gets converted into energy
Pause at 3:52, it got Asia? That's 3 billion people in that one spot evaporated from Earth
Light has mass. EVERYTHING has mass.
I bet that when we have the capabilities we will launch objects at very high speeds at other countries
I want one of these top down view where u hurl the sun at the speed of light thru the solar system to see what happens to it and the planets orbits
Wouldn't it be ridiculously easy to do this in almost any space based sci fi setting?
the lesson? don't ever throw a ball to earth at the speed of light
Earth: Good Morning Everybody!
Everyone:: Hello
Jupiter: well hey small buddy
Venus: c'mon Jupiter don't be Mean!
Jupiter: well sorry...
3 Billion Years Later...
Earth:well well well... Im good to be alive
Venus: Uh Earth...
Earth: what???
Venus: there is an asteroid...
Earth: where???????????????????????????????
Jupiter: Earth i got your back!
Uranus: Earth There is an Asteroid coming your way!!!!!!!
Earth: No that is not an Asteroid... its a space ship going at the speed of light!
Mars: i see it too!
Neptune: same
Earth: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Pluto: Earth y-you ok?
Mercury: No he passed out!!!
If you want more of these Then Leave a Like!
and comment "More More" thanks!!!
XxWolfDude87xX the idea is great, but you REALLY need to improve your writing skill.
Air Everywhere how is my writing skill bad?
XxWolfDude87xX I dont say that it's bad, but I'd say it's decent. It's just, something feels wrong in your writing. But, keep it up, and try to improve :)
XxWolfDude87xX More More!
Air Everywhere well thanks 😁 same when I write I feel like something's wrong!!!
Now, assuming you can possibly make it happen, would Mass Effect's FTL method be theoretically possible?
Supermassive black holes and neutron stars can accelerate things to this speed.
the comet is a xk-end of the world scenario!!
anyone who likes scps gets it
betterert Yeet
The Principality of Zeon approves of this video.
Can't you make a smaller object even more powerful by having it move even closer to the speed of light ? From the few things that I think I understand about relativity, a vehicle moving at .99999 times the speed of light would be MUCH more energetic than one moving at only .99990 times the speed of light
Intriguing video, on a more realistic level, what would the affects be if a Musk BFR coming back from Mars lost control and hit earth at 150k kph.
what dos more damage? an object traveling with low mass but large radius or large mass with low radius?
3:52 the Tsar Bomba is not even remotely close to that, it covered 35km of land
LINKINPARK4EVER1996 it's tsar bomb
LINKINPARK4EVER1996 it's weird
TheGoldenGrave YT Yes, tsar... fixing comment
More like "God goes bowling; Circa 65,000,000 BC"
Nice videos mate. But you should distinguish the words diameter and radius...
without watching this video... Total Destruction. Take a physics class.
now crash the earth at the speed of light into something bigger
what if a large object going at .99999 times the speed of light hit the earth going at .99999 times the speed of light in the other direction. Or, additionally, what if the two were sent in opposite directions with the same enormous kinetic energy values?
It would also completely destroy the South American coast from tsunamis and cause worldwide earthquakes
you should do this but the ship is spaceball1 and it has gone plad and is going at LUTICRIS SPEED!
I'm curious if Earth would ever, in any way, recover after an impact like that, given enough time.
Will be lucky see this happen in my lifetime
Well subatomic particles can travel faster than the speed of light, but never faster than c
I have this video running at 2x speed.
Guess what that means? ;)
at the speed of light
a cube dies at 1%
Rama easily could have gone this way.
So I am not too fat, I am just to FAST!
isn't it "too fast"?
not to fast
