The Race to a Habitable Exoplanet - Time Warp Challenge

The video explores the concept of faster-than-light (FTL) travel and its implications for time travel. It presents a challenge involving a race to a newly discovered exoplanet, highlighting the use of spacetime diagrams and the Lorentz Transformation to understand causality. The challenge encourages viewers to demonstrate how FTL travel equates to time travel, with an extra credit question on returning to the race's start. Participants can submit their solutions for a chance to win a prize.

What is the fundamental implication of breaking the cosmic speed limit according to the video?

• It creates parallel universes.

• It allows for infinite energy generation.

• It stops the flow of time.

• It enables time travel.

What transformation is used to map between different observers' reference frames?

• Fourier Transformation

• Matrix Transformation

• Laplace Transformation

• Lorentz Transformation

What is the name of the ship launched by the evil interplanetary corporation?

• The Conqueror

• The Explorer

• The Annihilator

• The Voyager

What strategy is suggested for winning the race to the exoplanet?

• Using a stealth approach

• Launching immediately with available technology

• Forming an alliance with other ships

• Waiting for technological advancements

What is the name of the ship built with the Alcubierre Warp Drive?

• The Quantum

• The Infinity

• The Paradox

• The Odyssey

What does the captain of the Annihilator perceive when the Paradox overtakes?

• A distortion in time

• A sudden burst of light

• A malfunction in the ship's systems

• A change in the ship's trajectory

What is the extra credit challenge related to the Paradox's journey?

• Finding a way to travel faster than light
