And you end up in another galaxy in a star system in which there are multiple planets orbiting. You have enough fuel and resources to perform a multiple-year long survey of the system before returning through the wormhole to report your findings to Sol. For this excersise, let's say the planets in the system are in this order: a small airless rocky planet orbiting closely to the sun, a Terra-sized hot rocky planet with a dense atmosphere and an irregularly-shaped airless rocky moon, a larger-than-Terra rocky planet in the habitable zone with a non-breathable atmosphere and two moons, one rocky and one glacial, a gas giant similar to Saturn's size without rings, but three moons, one large and rocky, one small and glacial with visible water and a thin atmosphere, and one medium-sized with geothermic activity and an atmosphere, and finally, a smaller rocky planet with a barely-visible atmosphere with interesting patterns on its surface and a small rocky moon orbitting it. NASA/ESA/whatever have given you permission to name the system and its celestial bodies if you are able to return with your findings. What would you name the:
>star (system name)
>small hot airless rocky planet
>Terra-sized rocky planet with a dense atmosphere
>its irregularly-shaped airless rocky moon
>larger-than-Terra rocky planet in the habitable zone with a non-breathable atmosphere
>its rocky moon and its glacial moon
>gas giant similar size to Saturn
>its large rocky moon, its small glacial moon, and its medium-sized geothermic moon
>small rocky planet with a thin atmosphere and interesting surface patterns
>its small rocky moon
I understand this isn't really very "scientific" but I enjoy thinking about things like this. I would personally continue the tradition of naming them after deities.

you are literally describing the ksp's solar system so I would name them the same as in ksp.
Also you may consider fucking off to >>>/lit/23588301

>>16281215
I'd probably let chat gpt name them all automatically

>>16281215
That's weirdly specific and I don't think many anons will be up for such faggotry. You should write a sci-fi novel OP.

assuming it's a yellow star like our own or a big blue star, I'd name it "Chronos," and it's system as the "Chronos System."

>Let's say you are the first person to travel through a wormhole

The galaxy is 5 billion light years away. The wormhole takes you through at the speed of light, so it is instantaneous to you. Meanwhile back in the solar system 5 billions years have passed. When you return, 10 billion years have passed. The sun is a white dwarf and all the inner planets are gone.
>>
>>16283051
Let them imagine anon, it's fine, they'll soon learn enough.
>>
>>16283051
The idea behind a wormhole is that's it's not light-speed travel.
It's slower travel but a much shorter distance.
>>
>>16281215
>Hollywood brainrot
>>
>>16283262
No, it's greater distance at slower speed, which means you're travelling much, much faster than light if the wormhole's two points are far enough apart.
>>
>>16283256
>let them imagine
Meanwhile in reality no one can go anywhere and nothing you blather about is even provable and they have to fake 90% of footage over 100k feet.

WH point A is at coords 0,0,0, and point B is at coords 50,50,0. The WH tunnel length is almost zero, meaning you pass through it almost instantaneously. This would be FTL travel for just very slightly over zero units, because you moved through space instantaneously by 100 units.
>>
>>16283887
0,0,0 to 50,50,0 isn't 100 units. It's closer to 70.
>>
>>16283887
>This would be FTL travel for just very slightly over zero units
the point of a wormhole is that it's not FTL
It's like going across a river rather than walking around.
>>
>>16284139
No it's not. It's not comparable to anything that doesn't involve warping space.
>>
>>16283887
The statement you provided discusses a hypothetical scenario involving a wormhole (WH) with points A and B at specific coordinates. It claims that the tunnel length of the wormhole is almost zero, allowing near-instantaneous travel between the points, which would result in faster-than-light (FTL) travel for a distance of 100 units in space. Let's break this down:

>Coordinates and Distance
Points A and B are given as (0,0,0) and (50,50,0) respectively. Using the Pythagorean theorem in three dimensions, the distance between these points is calculated as approximately 70.

>Wormhole Tunnel Length
The statement asserts that the length of the wormhole tunnel is "almost zero," meaning the time to traverse this tunnel is negligible or instant.

>FTL Travel
FTL travel means moving faster than the speed of light. In this scenario, the wormhole allows instant travel across the distance of approximately 70.71 units. In conventional physics, this would indeed be faster-than-light travel since any non-zero distance covered in zero or near-zero time implies infinite or near-infinite speed.

Analysis

>Theoretical Basis
Wormholes are a theoretical construct from general relativity. They are solutions to the Einstein field equations that theoretically allow for shortcuts through spacetime.
>Practical Reality
As of now, there is no experimental evidence for the existence of traversable wormholes, and they remain a concept largely within the domain of theoretical physics and science fiction.
>Causality and Paradoxes
FTL travel, including through wormholes, can lead to causality paradoxes (like the grandfather paradox) and violations of relativity's principles, which currently maintain that nothing can travel faster than light in a vacuum.

>Conclusion
In the context of theoretical physics, the statement is correct in describing that such a wormhole would allow what appears to be FTL travel. However, it is important to remember that this scenario remains speculative and not grounded in current empirical science.

ChatGPT says I'm right, therefore, I win.
>>
>>16284144
If you agree that it's warping space then why do you think it's FTL
Are you retarded?
>>
>>16284156
Because you're travelling between two points in space almost instantaneously, therefore FTL.
>>
>>16284159
But at no point do you go faster than light. Any light moving through the wormhole would still be faster than you going through the wormhole.
If you bounce light off a mirror at a steep angle, you could theoretically beat the light by traveling to the destination before the reflected light.
You traveled a shorter distance, but you didn't go faster than light.
>>
>>16284161
Wrong.
>>
>>16284176
You're wrong, but that's ok, because you're not smart.
