Woah! Someone Just Sent an Impossible Drive to Space To See If It Works

Hello and welcome! My name is Anton and in this video, we will talk about a launch of the impossible drive to test to see if it actually works
Links:

0:00 What a crazy year!
1:20 What is a quantum drive?
2:20 What is quantized inertia?
3:30 Black holes, event horizon and Hawking radiation
4:30 It also happens at the edge of the horizon - the Rindler horizon
5:35 Unruh radiation
6:30 Is this how inertia works then?
7:00 Criticism of this idea: errors and miscalculations
8:00 First experiments using drives
8:55 The startup that just sent this to space because...why not?
10:00 How this would work in space
11:10 What we know so far
12:00 What happens if it fails

Please always keep this balance of hope and cynicism. It's one of the hardest things to do as a scientist and is usually only seen in very secure veterans. You're the only science youtuber who I can trust on new papers that isn't a hypercritical egomaniac or a niave sellout. You're doing science and the world proud, and if more people had your gift, the world would be a much better place.

Thank you for covering this, whether it works or not. I think people underestimate the tremendous value of these tests that fail, the more we try and fail, the more we learn. That is how we advance. I love that they are testing this, because either it works and we enter a new age of space travel, or it doesn't and we learn more about what is holding us back. And if humans are good at anything, it's overcoming obstacles! :)

Hello Anton, i hope you and your family are doing well. Thank you for your time and work you do with these videos they are always interesting.

It's so cool to know that at every moment every day we have people working on futuristic technology

As unlikely as it is to work, I do wish them luck.

[CaedenV]

Well... Proving something wrong in a riggerous way is still helpful. Really, most of science is "nope, that didn't work" followed up with another study a decade later saying "yep, still doesn't work". Really it is much more rare that we find something interesting and new with a positive result.

[wowonice]

Its nice to hear from a science communicator who has a healthy attitude towards fringe theories like this. Too many people look at new ideas with ridicule and the attitude that we shouldn't even try. It's healthy to remain skeptical but it doesnt hurt to be hopeful and turn over every stone. I look forward to hearing more from you about this experiment! ✌️

[anthonysaunders]

Anton, I always love your smile and wave at the end of your videos. It's so goofy (in a good way). It's you. And you're such a genuine person it fits. Love your videos!

[caseyczarnomski]

Thanks for covering this story Anton. There are a lot opinions on this and it's great we are finally putting the theory to the test.

[crimsonhalo]

You make a very good point about possible interactions with Earth's magnetic field. That sounds like the most plausible explanation, and it would still render the effect somewhat useful for satellites, if it can be made to work.

[NWDestroy]

Thank you for covering this! You are so good at both explaining and relating subject matter as well as bringing us the most interesting and important subjects! Thank you

Anton has this amazing way of giving explanations to the questions his followers and mainly commenters have from previous videos he makes. Subtle but effective. Like how should we perceive the universe to look like. Is there anything faster than light. Or how black holes just don't consume everything and them and in their path. And more amazing is how Humans don't do the unimaginable. They create and do everything they can imagine.

[Veldrusara]

Anton's smile brightens my day, every day. 💜🌎🤗

"We've got this fancy thing that totally works, but you can't look inside it and we won't tell you how it's made."

[fervidApathy]

Great video Anton! You explained this all very well. Thanks for posting!

[patbluetree]

You are a new content machine . Thanks again for all your effort.

[billmilosz]

Great video. The Quantum Drive probably will not work, but the chance that it WILL work are a bit greater than zero, so conducting this experiment is worthwhile. There's so much we DON'T know about physics that you really can't say that this is impossible.

[BrianFedirko]

Thanks for new science stuff Anton!! dig it... more more more..☮

[oldblinddarby]

Excellent content as always. I love seeing someone find success through communication of science, not the usual mind numbing crap that occupies 99% of all other content. I look forward to all your videos, keep up the truly excellent work Anton.

[alexmartinelli]

If Anton puts a "Woah!" In the title, you know it'll be good.
