If you've been following my channel for a really long time, you might remember that some years ago I made a video about whether faster-than-light travel is possible. I was trying to explain why the arguments saying it's impossible are inconclusive and we shouldn't throw out the possibility too quickly, but I'm afraid I didn't make my case very well. This video is a second attempt. Hopefully this time it'll come across more clearly!

It doesn’t matter if you can go FTL because you could never make use of it. Information cannot go FTl.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! I don’t know who SETI is, but that woman is not that hot. You need to get out more.
Star Trek had several time travel episodes.
Sorry, remote work and all that.
She's a reliable source (and she discussed this). You're not.
Sabine is interesting, and I have listened to her before.
How I miss Art Bell.
I remember reading a book by Poul Anderson a very long time ago I think it was called tau zero
in the story they never got past light speed but they knowingly destroyed the universe but still survived till the next.
if you were to move faster than light I believe you might go backwards in time, the problem is that sucks for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is that you are also displaced in space as some proportion to a square of the time.
YouTube auto-generates a transcript on demand, except for songs (I believe...) and some public speeches and stuff. Then I've got a little simple doodad that gives it some basic formatting, but doesn't alter the auto-generated text, which lacks caps and such.
You’re going to need more crystals.
She also discusses time trav in the vid.
I don’t care if you read it or not, and it’s clear that you haven’t read the t-script or listened to it.
Why not? Information is massless. Shadows can travel faster than the speed of light...
Yeah, notice to those considering reading it. He adds nothing new. Just pokes some theoretical holes in the theoretical time travel paradoxes but doesn’t actually make a case as to why faster than light is even theoretically possible.
It’s like arguing that Bob is your dad because he’s not necessarily your uncle.
Accelerating at 32fps per second is 1g. Just do that until you surpass the velocity of C.
The laws of causality. Too many paradox scenarios.
Why?
You are wrong... If you were able to create a method for travelling the speed of light, the one factor that would destroy your ability to do so... One spec of matter. If you were to hit one spec of matter you would explode.
Or how about the expansion of the Universe in the first place added to the distance between galaxies? You know, billions of light years... And I thought Kamala Harris getting a law degree was not possible LOL!
At speed of light, how would one develop a collision avoidance system to not crash into meteors and other space objects?
Thank you for the transcript, because I can read way faster than I can watch a video.
On the topic: I have trouble understanding how it could be possible. But I’ve yet to be convinced it is impossible.
Who is “He”?
