Scientists have made a surprising discovery about the ultimate speed of objects. According to Albert Einstein's theory of special relativity, nothing in the universe can travel faster than the speed of light, which is 299,792 kilometers per second. Because of this speed limit, humans will never be able to send spacecraft beyond the Milky Way. But a new study by Eric Lentz of the University of Gottingen suggests there may be a way to cross that line. What is it?
To tell the truth, one of the speed of light is always not going beyond the boundaries of humans, but to go beyond the boundaries, means that may want to break the laws of the universe. The Eric luntz method is possible in theory, but the problem is that he consumes too much energy, the scheme that is not necessarily can drive the spacecraft. We know that many spacecraft appear in science fiction movies at the speed of light or higher. But that's the speed of light!
A new study by an American physicist, led by Eric Lentz of the University of Gottingen in Germany, addressed the question of how to reach superluminal speed. Eric Lentz and colleagues believe that in the near future, people could envision traveling to distant galaxies and stars. But that can only happen if the spacecraft is traveling faster than the speed of light. Albert Einstein's famous theory of relativity states that no object can travel faster than the speed of light, which is 299,792 kilometers in a second 39bet-kết quả bóng đá-kết quả xổ số miền bắc-kèo bóng đá -soi cầu bóng đá-đặt cược.
Indeed, it is the fastest thing in the world. There is nothing like light. According to the laws of the universe, the speed of light is 299,792 kilometers per second, and it takes only a second to travel from the Earth to the moon, just the blink of an eye. Even one percent of the speed of light is a scary number, 3,000 meters per second. Eric Lentz says conventional energy can turn the fabric of time and space into solitons. Solitons are strong solitary waves. The soliton will deform the bubble, shrinking the space in front of it and enlarging the space behind it.
Space and time, unlike anything within it, can bend, expand, warp at any speed. So a spacecraft bound by a super-fast bubble exceeds all physical limits, the speed of light in ordinary space, including Einstein's "cosmic speed limit." NASA's X3 passenger jet is the world's fastest flying machine. But it's still only 0.001 of the speed of light.
Closer to home, a rocket would have to travel at 25,000 kilometers per hour to escape Earth's gravity. NASA's Parker Solar Probe is the fastest spacecraft yet built. It set off from Earth in 2018, driven by the sun's gravity through the blazing solar atmosphere at speeds of up to 50,000 kilometers per hour. That's incredible, but it's not even a thousandth of the speed of light. Why is it so hard to go even 1%? What prevents humans from traveling at one percent of the speed of light?
We know that any object that moves generates energy, which physicists call kinetic energy. If you want to go faster, you need to increase your motivation. The problem is, it takes four times as much energy to go twice as fast. Three times the speed, nine times the energy, and so on. For example, taking a 110-pound child to 1% of the speed of light would require 200 megajoules, but it would use a lot of energy.
On the other hand, engineers need to find a new way to move objects in space. All rockets, including Spacex and Blue Source, use the same rocket fuel as the gasoline in cars. The problem is the inefficient burning of fuel, while electricity and magnetic fields are used to power the spacecraft. Among other things, nuclear fusion is far more efficient than chemical fuels, so scientists are working on fusion-powered space travel, including Star Trek favorite Warp Drive.
A very promising way to make objects move quickly is with solar sails, large plastic pieces attached to spacecraft that are used to force the sun's rays on them, much like wind drives a solar sail. Scientists believe that solar sails could make spacecraft travel at 10 percent of the speed of light. As a result, research on this topic has become increasingly hot recently. But to go faster than light, that's a fantasy.
In order to achieve the purpose of travel faster than light, scientists have proposed some special physical characteristics about the state of the particle and material assumption. Lenz puts forward a method of using building soliton network to achieve high speed. It is a powerful propeller, it is a kind of energy under the condition of minimum loss, maintain its speed and forms. The technology, which allows you to travel at any speed, has been published in the journal Classical and Quantum Gravity.
According to a new report, the technology, which takes advantage of space structures, is understood to significantly reduce travel time, which could prepare for the search for more distant objects in space. Proxima Centauri is our closest star, 4.25 light-years away. It would take 50,000 to 700,000 years to reach Centauri with conventional rocket fuel. But if you use nuclear power to travel through space, it will take 100 years, compared with four years and three months to travel at the speed of light.
Lentz said that to achieve faster-than-light speeds would require much less energy than today's nuclear reactors, and that the key is solitons. He believes humans need to find a way to develop and speed up optical solitons, focusing on developing practical applications for the technology. The current research on solitons covers faster-than-light travel from basic science to engineering, and the next step is to find ways to use energy up to the current state of the art, such as a large modern nuclear power station.
To be honest, physically speaking, this concept cannot go beyond the speed of light, because it requires a certain distance to be measured over a certain length of time. Actually, faster-than-light performance doesn't make any sense in physics. Suppose that nothing can travel faster than light. If anything goes beyond that, it goes backwards.
