Can anything go faster than the speed of light?Scientific Searches for Aliens, Superluminality, and Impossible Knowledge are all subjects that John Michael Godier discusses with Dr. Robert Nemiroff a professor of physics at Michigan Tech. Dr. Nemiroff is hosting the 100th anniversary of the great debate between Harlow Sapley and Herber Curtis with a new question, how will humanity first discover extraterrestrial life? Other discussion subjects include, Is time travel to the past possible? One way to answer that is by searching the internet for evidence of time travelers.Link: 100th Anniversary of the great debate: https://apod.nasa.gov/debate/debate100th.htmlDebat Video channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsSSm2_iOLoyPudBNO-Wv0QAstronomy Photo of the Day: https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap170510.htmlhttps://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap171210.htmlSearching the Internet for evidence of time travelers: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1312.7128.pdfWant to support the channel?Patreon: EventHorizonShowFollow us at other places!Website: https://www.eventhorizonshow.com/Twitter: @jmgeventhorizonInstagram: @jmgeventhorizonMusic featured on Event Horizonhttps://stellardrone.bandcamp.com/https://migueljohnson.bandcamp.com/https://leerosevere.bandcamp.com/https://aeriumambient.bandcamp.com/FOOTAGE:NASAESA/HubbleESO - M.KornmesserESO - L.CalcadaESO - Jose Francisco Salgado (josefrancisco.org)NAOJUniversity of WarwickGoddard Visualization StudioLangley Research CenterPixabayLink:Want to support the channel?Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/EventHorizonShowFollow us at other places!Website: https://www.eventhorizonshow.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/jmgeventhorizonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jmgeventhorizon/Music featured on Event Horizonhttps://stellardrone.bandcamp.com/https://migueljohnson.bandcamp.com/https://leerosevere.bandcamp.com/https://aeriumambient.bandcamp.com/FOOTAGE:NASAESA/HubbleESO - M.KornmesserESO - L.CalcadaESO - Jose Francisco Salgado (josefrancisco.org)NAOJUniversity of WarwickGoddard Visualization StudioLangley Research CenterPixabay
