A depth look at NASA's light-speed engine break the law of physic...
When it comes to space travel, there's always a problem. A big problem. It's, well, space. It's way too big. Even traveling at the maximum speed the Universe allows, it would take us years to reach the nearest neighboring star.
The result is, as Musk said, ( 44:01 ) “If we don’t improve our pace of progress, I’m definitely going to be dead before we go to Mars”.
But another human characteristic is finding solutions to big problems. And that's what NASA engineer David Burns has been doing in his spare time. He's produced an engine concept that he says could theoretically accelerate to 99 percent of the speed of light - all without using propellant.
If successful, this crazy idea of breaking the laws of physics could completely change the way SpaceX, NASA, or any other space company in the world builds spacecraft.
But, how will this engine be developed? If it is going to perform without propellant, then how will it work?
Let’s find out in today's episode:
Dr. Burns unveiled the idea in a head-spinning paper posted to Nasa's website with the title “Helical Engine”. It has been met with skepticism by some, but Burns believes his concept is worth pursuing.
“I’m comfortable with throwing it out there. If someone says it doesn’t work, I’ll be the first to say, it was worth a shot.”
According to Dr. Burn, the real purpose of the so-called "helical engine" would be to travel to distant stars far quicker than any existing tech.
He wrote in the paper that "this in-space engine could be used for long-term satellite station-keeping without refueling"
"It could also propel spacecraft across interstellar distances, reaching close to the speed of light."
Traveling at such speeds, the theoretical machine could carry astronauts to Mars in less than 13 minutes, or to the Moon in just over a second.
That means the light would struggle to keep up with you, warping your vision in bizarre ways! And everything behind you would appear black, and time would appear to stop altogether, with clocks slowing down to a crawl and planets seemingly ceasing to spin.
