I don't watch the show, and I doubt it's realistic (and I wouldn't care), but that makes less sense than saying an extra dimension was discovered (orthogonal, not parallel, to the normal 3 dimensions of space).

You can technically go FTL with Alcubierre Drives and still obey all the laws of the universe.

>>135943056
If you travel close to the speed of light between two 'stationary' points, you will experience practically no time interval. Going faster than light makes no sense because you can't improve your travel time below zero. It doesn't make sense to talk about increasing your speed relative to the observers beyond the speed of light either, because that means you can travel around a closed loop in space-time, violating causality.
>>135943156
Every sci-fi fag on /a/ is obsessed with realistic sci-fi and the idea that anything soft is just fantasy and not real sci-fi. It's ridiculous.

FTL travel is just a geometric impossibility in special relativity. GR complicates the definitions a lot but GR is only important in strong gravity or large scales.
>>135943668
>I thought you couldn't travel faster than light because the near infinite mass increase when accelerating. Or is it different now?
The infinite mass thing is when you're travelling AT the speed of light. Travelling faster than the speed of light is just impossible.

You sound like imbecile that blindly swallows every bit of tripe thrown at him without question.
>>135943668

Photons have no mass. To travel FTL, you would need infinite energy. A physicist could explain this better. I recognize this is poor.

I'm not an expert in physics so I might be asking something retarded here, but aren't you always travelling at the speed of light relative to something, eg light particles being reflected from yourself? What is the "infinite mass" relative to?
>>135942187
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternion
>>135943874

Because the speed of light is really the speed of information, it's the fastest speed information can propagate through space.

That's not the fucking point.
>>135943943
No, it's just right generally, photons do not have any mass. But gravity affects the curvature of space and so photons can take different paths due to gravity.
>>135943249
>If you travel close to the speed of light between two 'stationary' points, you will experience practically no time interval
Explain. Light is not instantaneous.
>>135944011
also it is only theoretically the fastest
>>135943915
We can't even currently harness antimatter to any effective scale due to technology levels.
>>135943957
You aren't travelling at the speed of light relative to anything, since you have mass.
>>135943943
>>135944046
Photons do have mass though. When they hit things they do impart an energy on them and push them.
Massless things can have mass, I don't really understand this much myself.
>>135944039

That's what I meant, by "you can't"

You keep saying this like it has meaning. It's the fastest you can move through regular space.
>>135944091
That means they have a momentum and energy, not that they have an associated mass.
>>135944138
Obviously. In the future, we can capture antimatter far more efficiently.
the plot reminded me to an story where humans also discover a new dimension and start taking energy from there but later the inhabitants get annoyed and declare a war or something. I can't remember very well the name of it

Anti-Matter engines aren't for travelling faster than light, they allow you to hit higher speeds that come closer and closer to the speed of light and get tasty time dilation.
>>135943113
Black holes used to break physics.
We don't know the limits of technology yet.
Faster than light travel may be an impractical consideration now, but as we gain more insight a pathway may be found.
Even if the limit is absolute, if there is a way to practically act outside of the limitations, we will find and make use of it.
>>135944091
>When they hit things they do impart an energy on them and push them.
They have energy and momentum, not mass.
Sometimes people make a distinction between "rest mass" and "relativistic mass," but physicists have moved away from this (sadly, not all textbooks.)
We should just ask /sci/
This thread is pure cancer.

No. If you're thinking p=mv or E=mc^2, think again.
>>135944328
>No. If you're thinking p=mv or E=mc^2, think again.
See my image
>>135944257
No, light (and any massless particle) is always moving at exactly the speed of light in your reference frame. You cannot Lorentz transform yourself into a frame that changes the speed of light because Lorentz transformations by definition preserve it.
so light is not incestuous
so it explains while his D never reached the imouto
>>135944066
It's not instantaneous in your reference frame, from the reference frame of light, the travel time is instantaneous.
>>135944372
E^2 = p^2c^2 + m^2c^4
m = 0 for photons and thus E = pc, so their momentum is directly propertional to their energy.
>>135944245
I hope field manipulation will become a thing, that it's possible. Create a vaccuum in the higgs field so all particles behave like they're massless.
>>135942875
>>135942187
You can have a fourth axis t representing time, making what we call space-time with the xyzt coordinate. You're just ignorant.
>>135943041
It is.
>>135944087
there is no antimatter to harness in the first place. it's produced from energy, very inefficiently so.
think of it as energy storage, not an energy source.
>>135944435
You have lost me.
>>135944372
Well, see >>135944193
You could say "oh, if they have energy, they have an 'inertial mass' according to m=E/c^2," but that formula is only half the truth.
Actually, it is E^2=(pc)^2+(mc^2)^2, so for m=0, E=pc.
p is momentum, p=gamma*mv, v being velocity. Now for v=c, gamma is infinite, and with m=0, this is technically undefined, can be any finite value.
So, m=0 but E and p are not 0.
if there is nothing faster than light how do you explain c-beams glittering in the dark near the tannhäuser gate?
>>135944284
Ah I remembered. For you to travel very close to the speed of light relative to the 'stationary' observers the space-time interval must be close to zero. Space-time interval is preserved in Lorentz transformations, hence in your own frame where you are stationary you experience very little time.
>>135944245
Mass is just another form of energy, only made 'physical' by field excitations.
Things like quarks may even be one-dimensional points.

The way they've both worded it and visually (attempted) to project there implies a 4th spacial dimension. Which is nonsensical and inherently different to talking about spacetime dimensions.
The way they've described it and shown it is divorced from convention in an unbelievable way.

>Is all mass really just empty space given 'mass' only by the energy waves created between gluons/quarks and this sort of tension?
That is a deep question, more than you might realize. A proton consists of two up and one down quark, yet there is a huge discrepancy between the sum of the quark masses, and the proton's mass. In a way, yes, most of the mass "comes from" the field/gluons that bind them together.

>>135944638
The anime is pretty shit yes.
>>135944866
Time apparently doesn't exist past the event horizon, nothing does from our point of views and it apparently becomes another alternate time-line separate from this universe.
>>135944866
This probably doesn't answer your question, but for an observer free-falling into a black hole it takes a finite time to reach the singularity at the center.
>>135944684
Most of the mass of atoms is from the energy of the residual strong nuclear attraction between the quarks that make up the protons and neutrons, so yes. Most mass is just energy. Google the strong force for more information.

That's what I'm saying. Time slows down because you speed up without realizing it.
>>135944782
Have they've actually implied it's a spatial dimension that's supposed to work like the familiar 3? Introducing an extra dimension by trying to depict it as an extra axis in addition to the spatial ones isn't particularly nonsensical.

do we even know time is relatively regular in the universe
>>135944944
nuclear reactors != orion style rockets
I really don't understand the Treaty, it seems more to appease normalfaggots than actually do anything.
>>135944714
They're field excitations, they don't have a physical structure as we commonly understand it, no sides, no size aside from that created by their field interactions.
>>135944943
Hence the energy-mass conversion via E=mc^2.
>>135944684
I think it's pretty much the opposite with the commonly accepted model today. "Empty space" is a thing derived from the existence of mass/energy (the two are interchangeable).
This also calls into question whether the 4th dimension referred to in the OP, time (which is a patently stupid thing to be shocked at the "discovery" of) actually exists intrinsically or is another derived quantity.
if you go near light speeds you atoms will move slower and become heavier
do they move slower because they became heavier
or
do they get heavier because they move slower
>>135944991
No, they haven't. Treating it like an 'extra' dimension is just convenient because you can rework everything in tensor notation.
>>135944991
Lumping them together with typical x, y and z which all have fairly consistent meanings in this case.
Unless of course they're using the terms abstractly, but lets be honest they definitely aren't considering they're talking about it in terms of a 4th dimension. And the show's description on funi's website supports that.
basically fuck you, that isn't how we'd do it, we're way too into not having to change the way we do things to just lump it in like that.

Not him but is that somehow related to how light seems to experience contraction? I'm only getting this idea because I remember in Gunbuster they had a spaceship approach the solar system at near-light speed and couldn't really see what it was without getting close.

What I remember was stick being within the room while simultaneously being outside of the room depending on the velocity of the observer.
Yeah that looks like it's just a negative x or y axis.
The 4'th dimension is Time.
>>135945405
There is no 'the 4th dimension'
There is no 'the 3rd dimension' either
You can't just point to directions and number them as specific dimensions
If you have a pitcher of 3 cups of water, can you point to cup #2?
Time is like adding a cup of oil to the mix. It interacts with the other dimensions, but you can tell it's not quite the same in behavior.
There are 3 dimensions of space, and one of time.
A fourth spatial dimension is a mathematical concept that works take too long to get into , but here's a thing to help explain the concept: http://youtu.be/p4Gotl9vRGs
>>135945427
Do you really not see from the OP what's wrong with it?
How the fuck else are you supposed to represent a 4th axis in a coordinate system?
Projecting a 3 dimensional coordinate system into 2d doesn't really work, it just feels normal since our brains can understand 3d.
But now you are projecting 4d into 3d and that into 2d, how the fuck is that supposed to look right?
>>135945704
It doesn't, that's why is mostly theoretical math.
Fucking Google higher dimensional geometry.
>>135945657
given a 3 dimensional space you can choose an orthonormal basis
so there are 3 dimensions
as for the 4th dimension I can't say anything
>>135942187
That illustration is wrong, but the 4th spacial dimension is real enough.

It obviously exists and has been observed but cannot be contained for any decent period of time as of yet.

Saying 'the xth dimension' shows a gross misunderstanding of how dimensions work. There is no specific 'xth' dimension of space, there are simply x dimensions of space
Dark matter doesn't exist. It's theoretical basis is shit and MOND provides a more compelling explanation, while also predicting undiscovered phenomena (galaxies) unlike dark matter.
>>135945859
no I am saying 4th can depend on what you choose and won't make much sense
but you can choose a basis for 3D space

You're an idiot with half-knowledge. Nay, fractional knowledge.
That's artificially generated antimatter. You see the word CERN there right in the headline? Does that ring a bell? If it doesn't: Particle accelerators.
I'm saying antimatter does not occur in nature in relevant quantities that would be harvestable as energy source. At best, and that requires significant breakthroughs, it could be used as a form of energy storage. You first have to put energy in to get antimatter (and matter) out.

the tl;dr version is that dark matter never existed, we just misunderstood gravity.

It was decent but not that good, I wish there was less bickering between characters and more descriptions of spaceships and events occuring kinda like Blame!.
That said i do have and inerest in the other books, Are they better?
>>135945704
projections are shit in general
you can do 3D->2D because it is easier to imagine
but if you think the 4th as time and try 4D-2D it doesn't even make sense
after all what guarantees time is perpendicular to other 3

Doesn't our current understanding fit too well though? And doesn't this MOND just try and shoe-horn in a fix that breaks everything else?

You do realise dark matter has a laundry list of problems and has failed to actually predict anything right? just because theories are incomplete doesn't discredit them. But the fact dark matter has failed to make a single prediction should have made it a joke years ago.
>>135946645
>You do realise dark matter has a laundry list of problems
dark matter IS a laundry list of problems.
There's no such thing as Dark Matter, it's a pure placeholder term for the discrepancies we see.

>>135946201
Nothing. Time isn't a spacial dimension anyways, not like x-y-z. Really, Time as the 4th dimension would be a lot easier to draw than a 4th spacial dimension (ie, not impossible) - just draw a person-tube.
>>135946811
>spacial
it's spatial
I don't understand how you would show a fourth dimension, but the reason the image is retarded is because it implies that there is a fourth spacial dimension that we simply aren't recognizing or aware of but works within physics as we know it.
Gravity is merely a theory, by the way.
>>135946765
Which Milgrom himself addressed?
>>135946871
draw 3 dimensions on paper normally as you always do
write T=T0 below it
It is the cleanest way
>>135946871
From just that pic, doesn't imply that. It seems kind of stupid to assume it does.
>>135942580
Good sci-fi.
Like Asimov or Lem. Pretty much every good sci-fi author was a physican or mathematician.
>>135942187
I've not seen this, but how does it relate to the plot? Especially considering that a fourth dimension does not and cannot exist?
>>135946871
The fourth dimension would be represented by a collection of 3dimensional charts aligned left to right infinitely.
>>135942937
Not him, but the thing is - you got three axis, each being an infinite line, aka continuing in the opposite direction beyond the O point. There is no space on that coordinate system for a fourth dimension, as it already covers all available ones that can be physically observed. If anything, a fourth dimension would be intertwined with all three axis.
Time isn't a fucking dimension, it's just a concept.
fuck me lads
>>135947814
>it's just a concept
Just like dimensions. Just like anything in our theories.
>>135947814
Time is far more than a concept, but it is certainly not a dimension.
It's not even wrong, having a "fourth spatial dimension" is mathematically possible, just read Flatland.
>>135942937
Their "fourth" axis lies on the other half of one of the existing axes, therefore not a fourth axis.
The best way to visualize a fourth axis would be showing superimposed xyz-axes. It would still be "wrong" but atleast not this stupid.
>>135948004
as we can observe it is an arrow
probably an N dimensional continuum
Has nobody here done any research at all?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-dimensional_space
The concept of a fourth spatial dimension (as opposed to X,Y,Z, time) is nothing new and its been explored since Flatland was published in 1884
>>135946871
the best way to represent it would be thus
show that a 2D plane is an infinite summation of 1D line
and a 3D space is an infinite summation of 2D planes
then a 4D space would be a summation of 3D spaces
(concept of dimensional analogy)
>>135948230
Four dimensional space is nothing more than mathematical wankery.
>>135948131
Time is not a dimension.

At least say that about infinite dimensional spaces or something like that.
Everything in physics is mathematical wankery, if we depict in our theories that space is a 4 dimensional thing, then it is.

This thread along with the OP is beyond retarded.
You now must solve pic related to post anything related to math ITT
>>135948694
3 dimensional space is a observation and description of our natural world, as is all of science. Anything that postulates about something that does not exist is wankery.
>>135948473
>Everything in physics is mathematical wankery
Not at all. Physics describes the operation of the natural world. Anything beyond that is wankery. Nothing more than self pleasure using mathematical formulas.
>>135942187
Just think of the stuff in your image as a new way to visualize the theory behind the new dimension. Mathematics and physics are full of crutches and freshly defined visualizations of stuff that's hard to imagine, so they can wrap their heads around it in an ordered manner. Just assume that it doesn't make sense to you, because no one here had the need so far to visualize dimension W yet and that the thing just looks like regular 3 axis system.
tl;dr don't strain your head over unnecessary stuff.
Or are you next gonna complain that you can't build a complete working template of a W coil from the schematics you saw?

> Physics describes the operation of the natural world
Wrong.
Physics makes models that best describe processes and predict things we see in the real world, the models themselves don't have to describe what actually happens in the real world, as it is impossible to know what really happens.
Hence physics is as much wankery as math.
There is no difference between noting that a projectile follows a parabola like trajectory or that space is a 4 dimensional space, because that is what see, hence it is what it is described at until a better model comes up, like new theories of mechanics, like relativity.
Sorry if this has already been answered, but what show is this?
>>135949421
That doesn't make any sense. Just because you cannot accurately describe the entire universe down to the most fundamental level doesn't mean that all of physics and science is wankery. Yes, physics is more or less an estimate of the workings of the universe, but it is a fairly accurate one. Physics has actual, real world applications. Imagining a fourth spacial dimension and writing up mathematical formulas does not, and is nothing more than shameless self pleasuring.

You couldn't just look up the subbed line in the OP?Hint: it gives the title.
>>135949645
Except using said models with 4 dimensions we can make more predictions than before, hence it is useful in both physics and other real world applications.
In real world applications we use much more than simple 4 dimensional spaces, we even use infinite dimensional spaces in physics.
Because the bottom line is that dimensions aren't something special contrary to what you see in sci-fi, they're just a property of some mathematical structures.
When you identify such structures, you can use their properties.
You can view, for example, matrices as n by m dimensional spaces, and use properties of such spaces, which is something that is very useful in computing for example.

I'm a programmer so I know exactly how useful n dimensional arrays are. That only describes how information relates to other information and has no relation to a fourth spacial dimension at all.
Name one practical application of an imagined fourth spacial dimension.

Faggots keep saying FTL is going to be a thing, but honestly I doubt we'll even surpass light speed. Everything just gets so fucked up after that and we're nowhere even near figuring out how it actually works if it even does.
