[00:00:00]All right, this is Sweetheat 223 from Dallas, Texas. Sweet what? Sweetheat 223, better known as Sterling from Dallas, Texas.

[00:00:09]>> Sterling, all right.

[00:00:10]>> He says, "Hi Dr. Tyson and Chuck Nice."

[00:00:12]>> was not a cool enough badass name.

[00:00:14]>> Yeah, he had to go with Sweetheat.

[00:00:15]>> Sweetheat or Sweetie. Sweetheat.

[00:00:18]>> [clears throat] >> All right. Uh Sterling, that's a boring name. Sterling's a boring name?

[00:00:21]>> Yeah. Okay, so Sterling from Dallas, Texas. He said, "If we could travel via warp drive, is it possible that speed to bypass the spaghettification process when entering a black hole to reach its singularity?

[00:00:35]So, could you warp into a black hole and then bypass the singularity because you're going so much faster than the speed of light itself?

[00:00:53]So, you've warped through the black hole. So, technically, you don't need an escape velocity to get out of the black hole because you're warping through it.

[00:01:06]It's a wild proposition.

[00:01:07]>> holes?

[00:01:08]No.

[00:01:09]>> Just you.

[00:01:11]>> in the black hole. Yeah, I Hmm.

[00:01:16]I'm not feeling it.

[00:01:18]>> [laughter] >> Yeah, I'm not not feeling It's an intriguing idea.

[00:01:22]>> It is. And like, can you bypass >> Can you bypass >> the rules?

[00:01:26]>> rules.

[00:01:27]>> Yeah, yeah, the boundary of >> spaghettification.

[00:01:29]>> Right, right, right.

[00:01:30]>> None of the uh super gravity >> that you can fall in and not go to the center.

[00:01:35]>> Right. They're like rotating black holes and there are other configurations you can imagine, but yeah, no, I'm not feeling it.

[00:01:43]>> Okay. All right.

[00:01:44]>> Yeah. Chuck got a few more minutes.

[00:01:46]>> Minutes, okay, let's see what we can do.

[00:01:48]>> Okay. This is Patrick Laverdure, who says, "In video games, when you walk into a complex area, the frame rate drops because the system is rendering more data. If our universe were simulation, could we rapidly be doing something similar, slowing down time because the cosmic engine is processing more information?"

[00:02:07]>> I like that.

[00:02:09]Wow.

[00:02:10]>> that.

[00:02:10]>> He's saying the more complex areas of our universe >> require more calculat- uh uh computing power and as a result, everything slows down.

[00:02:23]>> This is the argument either for or against that we're in a simulation because the simulator doesn't have to simulate the whole universe.

[00:02:31]>> No. Only the universe that you perceive >> the time.

[00:02:34]>> Correct.

[00:02:34]>> That's it. For example, if we are in a simulation, >> Mhm.

[00:02:37]are they simulating every molecule within the Earth if no one is looking at inside the Earth? But now you start digging, so it's in their interest to simulate ahead of you without having to waste computing power on the whole Earth.

[00:02:52]>> Right. And so, that's just an intriguing scenario. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it makes sense. If you're If you are in a simulation, >> don't why would you waste all the computing power necessary to create the stuff that's never even been seen?

[00:03:04]>> correct.

[00:03:05]>> You know? Right. All right, so this is uh Milwaukee Getter Milwaukee?

[00:03:12]Milwaukee. What are Milwaukee?

[00:03:14]Milwaukee. I don't know.

[00:03:19]Getter Zeiger.

[00:03:21]Getter Zeiger, who says, "Hello everyone, I was wondering if black holes accelerate things beyond the speed of light once inside them, uh does that mean those things are going backwards in time? So, the gravitational pull is so strong once you are past that event horizon, could you then go faster than the speed of light since light can't escape?" Yeah, what happens is you start gaining mass Right.

[00:03:48]>> and rather than gaining speed. Right.

[00:03:51]>> That's how that happens.

[00:03:52]>> happens, okay.

[00:03:53]>> right. And so, uh no, you don't just keep getting faster and faster.

[00:03:58]>> Okay.

[00:03:59]>> And as you gain more mass, it's harder to accelerate you. So, yeah. Oh, wow.

[00:04:04]>> a thing.

[00:04:05]>> But what a great question, man. That's I like the I like that.

[00:04:08]>> All right, Femke uh Saynav Saynavie Saynaieve from Belgium. Okay.

[00:04:17]>> "I was wondering, would it be possible to say if we reach a black hole with conventional space travel, even if it took thousands of years, to send a quantum AI computer or quantum robot, a bit like they did in Inter- Interstellar, ultimately sacrificing itself to send us the data and solve the quantum gravity theory?

[00:04:36]Could quantum computers handle this information and send it to a spaceship in the vicinity or would the information forever be stuck in the black hole?"

[00:04:47]They can answer their own question.

[00:04:48]>> [laughter] >> Yeah.

[00:04:50]>> Pretty sure you answered your own question, buddy.

[00:04:52]>> Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going with the it's stuck in the black >> out. It ain't coming out.

[00:04:56]>> It ain't coming out.

[00:04:57]>> Yeah.

[00:04:58]>> [laughter] >> Yeah.

[00:04:59]Oh, well.

[00:05:00]>> Well, there's the Hawking radiation, but it pulls it out as a striptease, right?

[00:05:04]One molecule one atom here, one particle there.

[00:05:07]>> Right. And then you have to reassemble it later.

[00:05:09]>> have to find that [clears throat] You would have to put that information back together once it all evaporates.

[00:05:12]>> Exactly. Exactly.

[00:05:14]>> Yeah. Yeah.

[00:05:16]Oh, well.

[00:05:16]>> time for one last question.

[00:05:17]>> this is Martin from Denmark. Martin from Denmark, who says, "Hello Dr. Tyson or Nice. Martin from Denmark here. I think there's something undiscovered around the perception of time and the speed of light. If we humans were to travel at the speed of light, we say no matter the distance, it will feel like an instant when arriving at the destination. But since we also discovered that we can accelerate particles faster than the speed of light, when did we discover that?"

[00:05:45]The hell, Martin?

[00:05:47]Martin, did you get a Nobel Prize that nobody heard about cuz >> [laughter] >> damn, bro, what are you talking about?

[00:05:51]And he says he says, "How will we perceive that? Like yesterday or thanks for a great show."

[00:05:58]>> Okay, so no, we have not accelerated particles faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. Right.

[00:06:04]Mhm.

[00:06:05]But the speed of light is slower in in mediums.

[00:06:08]>> in media.

[00:06:09]>> Right. media Right.

[00:06:10]>> plural of medium >> plural of mediums >> media It's slower in water, it's slower in glass, air, >> air and especially diamond. Right. Where it gets bounced around and then comes out.

[00:06:20]>> When it's cut correctly.

[00:06:22]>> Right, when it's cut correctly.

[00:06:22]>> want to cut it in such a way >> So, it looks like the diamond has a certain radiance to it.

[00:06:26]>> Right, yeah.

[00:06:27]>> And it's refraction. Yeah, it's exactly And dispersion on the way out. So, Cost you a lot of money for a little bit of light praise. I stopped buying diamonds years ago. And And why are you forcing upon others your own marriage experience? Mhm? Uh just warning.

[00:06:44]>> [laughter] >> For those considering tying the knot.

[00:06:47]>> just warning, I'm telling you.

[00:06:49]>> [laughter] >> Cubic zirconia, man. Don't make the mistake.

[00:06:53]Don't make the mistake. The diamonds are expensive, buddy.

[00:06:55]>> [laughter] >> Let me tell you something. They throw them on like it was no big deal.

[00:07:00]THEY DON'T PUT THEM ON EVERY TIME LIKE, "OH MY GOD, look at this. This man went out and spent all this money on" Mhm, they just throw them on [laughter] like it's nothing to it. Okay? Get them zircons.

[00:07:11]Save yourself some money.

[00:07:12]Take [laughter] it from Take it FROM A PRO.

[00:07:17]I FORGOT what the question was.

[00:07:18]>> Oh, okay. All right.

[00:07:20]>> no. So, is he So, you can't make them faster than the speed of light. So, but two points. If you could, Mhm. the particles would go backwards in time. Right. According to the equations.

[00:07:32]>> Right. So, in Einstein's equations, you can go up to the speed of light, but you cannot attain it.

[00:07:38]But nothing stops you from existing on the other side of the speed of light and then going faster than that. And if you do that, you would live backwards in time. And what's that called? tachyon tachyon, that's right. tachios from the Greek meaning fast, but like a tachometer. Right.

[00:07:56]>> You've heard of tachometer?

[00:07:56]>> It's the one on your car. Exactly. It's the It's the >> My car doesn't have it anymore because I have an electric car, so there's nothing to take.

[00:08:04]Just saying.

[00:08:06]>> [laughter] >> Okay.

[00:08:10]Uh yeah, so then it would be moving backwards through time and you could then send yourself a signal using your tachyons. using tachyons before you knew to send yourself a signal. Wow.

[00:08:22]>> Yeah. Trippy.

[00:08:23]So, yeah, that is a fun particle.

[00:08:25]Someone decided to move all the way into the other side of the equations and follow them through and that's one of the uh conclusion. We've never found tachyons Right.

[00:08:33]>> in the actual universe.

[00:08:34]>> Oh. Yeah. Oh, well.

[00:08:37]Yeah.

[00:08:37]>> It's kind of cool. So, tachyons then, if they did exist, they would be moving We could only intersect them at the point which they meet our reality going opposite directions in >> directions.

[00:08:51]>> Correct.

[00:08:51]>> That's the only time we can see them.

[00:08:53]>> perceptive point you're making.

[00:08:54]>> Yeah. You can't see them in the future.

[00:08:56]>> You can't see them in the future. You can't see them in the past. You can see them as it's going backwards through time and we're going forward through time.

[00:09:02]>> and boom, [clears throat] that's where you see the tachyon.

[00:09:04]>> instant, that's correct.

[00:09:05]>> wild.

[00:09:06]>> Yeah. Yeah.

[00:09:07]>> I like it.

[00:09:08]>> [laughter] >> Well, thanks for that, Martin from Denmark.

[00:09:12]>> Yeah. Very cool.

[00:09:14]>> [music] [music] [music] [music]
