      On a serious note, a galactic-scale pandemic is pretty much impossible, because of vast distances and time periods required to travel that far. By the time a ship would reach another star (actually, its surroundings), all the sick people would have healed and developed immunity. And it would be like 10th generation of people at best. But I like the idea, would be nice to have it in the next version of Plague Inc 😀

    The best way to survive going through a wormhole is to install a teleporter device on either end, then just send the teleporter data between the sides. This also greatly reduces the amount of exotic matter a space traveler needs to make in their particle accelerator.

    • @h4z4rd1000
      @h4z4rd1000 Рік тому +1

      It would also kill the traveler at the beginning of the travel and then create a replica on the other side.

      @thenovicenovelist Рік тому

      I agree. It's one thing to know the subject matter. Being able to explain it in a way that non-experts can understand it is a completely different skill.
      I have a M.S. in Marketing Communications, but I love learning about space and my childhood dream was to work as an astronomer for SETI. My former best friend got her PhD in molecular biology. She had this ability to break down complex knowledge into easy-to-understand explanations. I told her that was an impressive skill to have and she could use it in a variety of ways.
      Unfortunately, she was so worried about making her future in-laws like her, she did a complete 180 on her personality and now she's a pretty hateful person who believes in religious conspiracy theories peddled by her in-laws and social media rather than actual science. It's very sad.

    Probably my favorite explanation to wormhole travel is to think of traveling from point a to point b in space as one very long line, but figuring out wormhole travel would essentially take point b and put it next to a, essentially removing the necessity to travel from one area to another in extended periods of time.

But I wouldn’t worry, they are constantly proving and disproving things, some people like to believe we are the night of scientific understanding, but if you listen long enough, they all say that what we know about physics is barely scratched the surface. One thing he said though is completely true, it will be hundreds of years though before we actually have any concept of the real story. Human kind will (if we make it through quarantine) crack faster than light travel, in every century you have the nay sayers who say “man cannot fly” and “man cannot travel into space” because they apart her shady believe they know matter of factly it’s not possible, with all the “scientific” evidence to back themselves up, but it’s the dreamers who find the way for everyone.

      A wormhole's exit has energy and thus responds to gravity. You can 'tow' it behind a large mass (Or if the energy is negative, push it). Similar ideas have been mooted for moving asteroids or small black holes. Of course if the wormhole is very massive you might have to move a star to shift it.

    Here's a compromise theory to suggest: while your "not even light can get through" comment seems to put the kibosh on it already, is it possible to employ or create wormholes so that, if not physical matter, at least INFORMATION can get through? If that's true, then wormholes could at least be used as a fast means of interstellar *communication*, rather than travel. (I'm thinking of Reg Barclay's "micro-wormholes" from "Voyager," of course.)
    Also, if a wormhole could be identified, and the other point somehow located, could they be used as a means for navigation, as opposed to propulsion?

      @stewiesaidthat Рік тому

      @Moonsong causality is instantaneous. It's the effect that travels at the speed of light or sound. The layer of the universe that you exist in is defined by energy. Electromagnetic waves are the fastest anything can travel within that layer. The speed of an electromagnetic wave is dependent on the energy density of the region of space it is traveling through. To travel faster than light, you just need to cross over into the next layer. Similar to how a fish out of water can fly faster through the air than it can swim in the ocean.
