Traveling to Proxima Centauri B in 100 Years vs 4 Days
This is a sci-fi documentary, looking at 3 different spaceships (nuclear fusion generational spacecraft, cryoship, warp drive) and their different paths to Proxima Centauri B. The video looks at some of the science behind each spacecraft, and how well prepared the passengers arrive at the new planet.
Three journeys venturing far beyond Earth’s solar system, showing the future science of space travel, exploration, and future space technology.
Personal inspiration in creating this video comes from: the movie Interstellar (Endurance), The Expanse TV show (The Nauvoo), and Star Trek Next Generation (The Enterprise).

Other topics in the video include: the population growth on the generational ship over the 100 year timelapse journey to Proxima Centauri b, how bacteria evolves in a closed loop system, the science of Torpor Induction on the cryo ship, how each spacecraft experiences time differently and any time dilation that is experienced.

Both Cryo and FTL ships could be the best way for our species to explore the stars and to answer questions about the universe and the big one are we truly alone.

how do you desing a multi-generational ship that just dosen't look to huge to be accepted by those who might have to vote on r weather or not to vbuild it.

100 years are pretty short. The second generation should be able to witness the arrival.

What about beamed propulsion? Like an highway system of laser relays that push a ship along?

Always so great. Love the nod to Picard…again.

the transition to warp drive is like the transition from stone tools to computer chips! i don't think so, computer chips don't break the laws of physics, warp drive does.

The second option is the most probable, and feasible. Warp drive is a dream that might never be possible.

Do you think that with the AGI and the technological singularity we will live forever and have machines like the TARDIS of doctor who to travel anywhere in the universe??

Anti-AI people are stifling human creativity with their ignorance. Love this channel and all of the videos. Thank you!

I don't see a diverse humanity in this video. All I see is one ethnic human( whyte euro/Americans) only I see, you're not showing a whole wide spectrum of humanity at all.

Since you guys love to use Alcubierre's drive, a good idea for a future episode would be about the space highway cleaners, since the path should be clear of any particle bigger than a speckle of dust, it would need gigantic shields plowing through space in sub light speeds to make the path traversable in a FTL alcubierre's spaceship.
