Space adventures into reality....


        WHAT IS INTERSTELLAR TRAVEL?

Interstellar movie spaceship
Speaking of such words gives me and of course everyone status of being genius,cool and smart.
Well as the movie “Interstellar”itself reveals that interstellar space travel(big,interesting words from dictionary) means travelling in space between stars or planetary system.
We humans have amazing abilities to build stuffs that might change the perspective of what we are now.In this blog we are going to understand it.So,put on your virtual spacesuit and enjoy the journey while I take you in the adventure of interstellar travel and how we are going to do it.....

If one asks for a quick answer then yes it is possible.



Antimatter.. the answer......
Antimatter found its way into the popular imagination soon after its discovery in the early 1930s. "Star Trek" fans know antimatter as the high-energy fuel of the Enterprise, the stuff that sends the starship faster than the speed of light. Now if we see then yes it is possible not at light speed but a speed that will help as travel around at super high speed.
In simple words when electrons and positrons (positive electron). gets combined they produce a huge amount of energy(Gamma rays) that can be directed to a direction to produce thrust. Positrons are actually difficult to direct so we use few methods the to convert it.A continuous emission of positrons by radio isotopes are concentrated in an area where it gets combined with electrons and produces energy(gamma rays). After that, the gamma rays are used for charging particles that tends to go in a specific direction when magnetic field is applied. Thus, used as thrust.

In next few years we being able to harness and apply this tech, reaching long distances will be be possible.Travelling is not only the problem, our body not tends to support such extreme speeds, so if we consider that we have developed a biological suit and advance srarship for us and travelling at 1Gacceleration/sec i.e. 9.8m/s that our squishy body can handle we will be able reach dream distances and more.


Lets consider that 1G acceleration/sec in a starship:-
Earth to Pluto 
NASA took 10 yrs to reach Pluto while our 1Gstarship will take only 3.5weeks.

Earth to Alpha Centauri
If we go 4.5 light years+1Gstarship acceleration(85%of light speed due to continuous acceleration)it would take 5years on spaceship while 9years will have passed on Earth.As we reach closer to light speed Theory of relativity (most famous theory)kicks in making time dilation.(slowing the time in starship).Due to wonders and complexity time dilation we can travel astronomical distances within human lifespan.

Earth to Edge of Universe
Now let’s take it to more serious extent,yes you guessed it right the edge of universe, light speed will take 13.5 billion years butdue to our continuous acceleration we are at 99% of light speed so 1Gstarship will take 30years in the ship while 13.5 billion years will have passed on Earth,all human extinct or may be our Solar System.


Now you are probably wondering that, MAN! THAT’S AMAZING.. then its true you are thinking in right direction. We humans are so unpredictable our innovations, ideas and knowledge enables to create the impossible but as we see in time dilation the earth is vulnerable to time as if we send probes for research we won’t receive anything back from them because till the time when the messages reaches us we will be long gone.Sending people will have to face a great consequences.
Antimatter propulsion rocket
Everyone and everything we see,feel and know lies on Earth so sending only few people for finding new places is not an option,here the story of movie Interstellar comes in reality that if we want to go in interstellar adventure we have to take everyone with us. We humans have always been a nomadic species since the beginning and it seems to find new place we again have to be what we are.

The day is not far when one of us will say as“Captain Kirk said, Mr.Sulu take us to a new place where no one has ever gone”. 

The journey of space adventures in our own“Enterprise” (Star trek ship)awaits to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilisations, to boldly where no one has gone before.
