Can we really break the ultimate speed limit of the universe? Join me, Clemons Kunkel, the Super Professor, as we embark on a thrilling journey to challenge the boundaries of light speed. In a world where we're already hurtling through space at unimaginable speeds, the notion of faster-than-light travel isn't just a sci-fi fantasy—it's a possibility worth exploring. By drawing inspiration from historical innovations like hot air balloons and sailing ships, we'll discuss how redefining the limits of light speed could lead to unprecedented breakthroughs in space travel. Prepare to have your mind expanded as we ponder the potential to revolutionize our understanding of the cosmos.

Together, we'll navigate the fascinating theory of universe merging and the tantalizing existence of other dimensions. Imagine our universe as a product of cosmic mergers and hidden dimensions, revealing dark matter and energy in a whole new light. Our conversation examines how interactions with these unseen dimensions might unlock the secrets of faster-than-light travel, much like riding airport escalators to cut time. As we venture into the realm of interdimensional travel, we'll also heed the critical call to address man-made climate change. Let’s embrace scientific wisdom and innovative thought as we work towards a sustainable future for our planet.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hello and welcome to the Super Professor Podcast.
You're listening to ClemensKunkel, aka Super Professor, and
today's podcast is about can wetravel faster than the speed of
light?
And I think we can.
I think the answer is yes.
And why do I say that?
Well, we're already moving.

(00:22):
Do you realize that whileyou're sitting in a chair
listening to this podcast,you're moving really, really
fast.
And let's go to some of thethings that are happening right
now.
Right now, the Earth is rotatingat 1,000 miles per hour.
So you're moving at 1,000 milesper hour.
Are you moving faster than that?

(00:42):
Yeah, because the Earth goesaround the sun at 66,600 miles
per hour.
Are you moving faster than that?
Yeah, because the Earth goesaround the sun at 66,600 miles
per hour.
But wait a minute.
The sun goes around the MilkyWay galaxy at 504,000 miles per
hour.
Are we moving faster than that?
The answer is yes.
The Milky Way galaxy fallstoward a region of space called

(01:06):
the Great Attractor.
You're going to love this speed14 million miles an hour.
You're like Superman.
Right now, you're moving really, really, really fast.
We don't even notice it.
So is faster than light speedpossible?
I think so, but how would we doit and why must we learn how to

(01:30):
do it?
Well, if we start now sayingthat we can do it, because
everybody says nothing cantravel faster than the speed of
light.
The speed of light is 186,282miles per second in the vacuum
of space and you know, like oneof the stars I think is in a
Goldilocks zone, it's roughly 20light years away from us.

(01:53):
20 light years, that means evenif we could just travel at the
speed of light, it would take us20 years to get to that star.
20 years, that means you've gotto have food or go into
hibernation.
So traveling at the speed oflight is too slow, because

(02:15):
that's, you know, I think theclosest star to us is
approximately Centauri, is 4.3light years.
So even the other stars arejust way out there.
The the universe is really vastand for us just to travel at
the speed of light it's just waytoo slow.
We need faster than light speedtravel, um.

(02:38):
So let's, let's do, um, somesimple things here.
Let's say that star that's 20light years away and we want to
go there at the speed of light.
Well, we can't go where we seeit because that star is not
there.
It took 20 years for that lightto reach Earth.

(03:00):
Therefore that star has moved,been moving for 20 years.
So for us to go to that starwith a Goldilocks zone planet
around it, we have to move thestar chart ahead to where it's
going after 20 years.
Then, if we could only travelat the speed of light now we

(03:24):
must move the star chart again20 more years to where the star
is going to be for us to land onit.
But here's another problem If wetravel at the speed of light,
time slows down.
We don't know how much timeslows down traveling at the

(03:46):
speed of light.
So there's a couple of hiccupsand hurdles that we've got to
overcome.
We've got to start doing nowplanning for faster than light
speed travel.
And why do I say that we cantravel faster than the speed of
light?
Because we're already moving.
We know we're already moving,know, we're already moving.

(04:06):
So it's kind of like um, andnow it might come up with a new
idea.
No, not really.
If you think about in the olddays where they took a hot air
balloon and fill it full of hotair and it went up into the air
and then the air current movedthe hot air balloon, all they
needed was to get up in thatcurrent to move.
What else did they do back inthe old days?

(04:27):
They put a sail on a boat tocatch the wind current and move
the boat.
So when we discovered the newworld, the United States, they
didn't roll the whole way to getto the United States, they used
the wind power to move the bigboat Took them a couple months.
But now we just fly in planesto go around the world on

(04:50):
vacation.
But back in the old days ittook a little bit to get here.
So will people go off-world?
Yeah, they went on a boat andtraveled for months, had no idea
what was there.
We know where we're going, weknow there's planets out there
and we know more about everyplanet as we get closer and

(05:10):
closer.
You know, we know our planetsin our solar system, but we know
about other planets aroundother stars.
We just don't know enoughinformation about them yet.
We got a, but we still needmore information.
So think about now.
Some people say oh, it'simpossible to travel faster than
speed of light.

(05:31):
Yes, yes, yes, of course it'simpossible.
And it's also impossible for agerm to jump out of your mouth
into another person's mouth.
Welcome to COVID-19.
Welcome to the virus, welcometo the flu.
It's also impossible to breakthe four-minute mile.
But now you got to break thefour-minute mile to compete in

(05:52):
track.
Yes, things are impossible untilyou break the rules.
No, it's not impossible.
It's kind of like think about,right now you listen to this
podcast on information coming in.
You don't see the signal, youdon't see the information.
You're just able to listen toit on a phone or a TV or
whatever you got on Wi-Fi.

(06:14):
So it's impossible for theearth to be round, but it is
right, it's impossible.
But the earth is round, we knowit.
The Earth is not flat, but thinkabout the old days.
They thought the Earth was flat.
Then it went to being the Earthis the center of the universe.
That wasn't true.
Then it used to be the sun isthe center of the universe, and

(06:36):
that wasn't true.
So old information you can'thold on to.
You might want to hold on to it, you just can't because it
doesn't work.
Otherwise we wouldn't be livingin space, the International
Space Station, we wouldn't be upthere.
I think the International SpaceStation falls around Earth to
something like what?
16,000 miles an hour.
Think about it.
They see sunrise, sunset,sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset

(06:59):
in one day, in 24 hours.
So the International SpaceStation?
They don't have a rocketsending themselves around the
planet, it's just falling aroundthe planet.
So, but science works.
We have to stick to the science.
And what is you know?

(07:20):
It's like if we could, you know, think about this
hypothetically If we couldtravel faster than the speed of
light, we need to fix our starcharts Because, let's say, we
could travel at the speed oflight, if you go to that planet,
that's 20 light years away andyou get on that planet.
When you look back at our sun,it's not where we left it,

(07:44):
because the light takes 20 yearsto get to that planet that we
just moved to.
So that's our earth is in thepast.
So when we think the earth isno, that's we don't see it on
that planet from that planet'spoint of view, because the
sunlight is 20 years in the past.
It's the same thing as lookingat another planet, looking at us

(08:05):
.
That's the past.
Everything is we're looking atthe past.
So we need star charts forgetting there and getting back.
We need different star chartsfor every star system we go to
in the Milky Way galaxy, everyone.
If we visit different worlds.
We're going to need a starchart for each different world

(08:26):
to get there and get back, andwe need to be planning now
because we're going to go there.
How do I know we're going to gothere?
We went to the moon, we've beento Mars, we're going.
Twelve people walked on themoon, been to Mars, we're going.
12 people walked on the moon,and rovers and landers and

(08:46):
choppers have been on Mars.
We haven't had a person onthere yet, but we're going to go
there.
So are we going to live offworld?
Yeah, there's no doubt aboutthat.
We're already living off world.
That's the International SpaceStation.
So we need to get off earth.
So we need to get off Earth.
Why do we need to get off Earth?
Well, you have the PlantatiousPeriod, the Crustaceous Period,

(09:08):
the Jurassic Period, massExtinction.
I don't want to go extinct.
I don't want the human race todisappear.
We need to get off planetbecause if something happens, we
need to be able to come backand help people and recolonize
and start over there's.
I mean, if you look at the moon,it's beat up for a reason.

(09:29):
Stuff hits it.
Stuff hits the earth all thetime too.
We just don't get to see itbecause of the trees and
everything else covering it.
Up the moon.
It just stays nice and prettyand holes in it.
We get to see the beating up.
So you don't think the Earth isbeat up.
Look at that little bitty moonand it's got bumps all over it.
It's not as big as the Earth,but if you take that in

(09:51):
comparison, think about how muchthe Earth has been beat up.
That's the easiest way tofigure it out.
And also, the moon is what'scalled tidal lock.
We only see one side of themoon.
It's tipped off its axis.
It's looking straight at us.
We only see one side.
We don't see the other side.
We don't.

(10:16):
So now for us to travel fasterthan the speed of light.
Why do I think we can travelfaster than the speed of light?
I published a book Keys toUnlocking the Universe on Amazon
where I say that we don't livein the fourth dimensional plane.
We don't live in the fifthdimensional plane.
We live in at least the sixthdimensional plane.

(10:36):
What does that mean?
I think other dimensions exist.
I'm not talking about stringtheory, m-theory, supergravity
theory mean I think otherdimensions exist.
I'm not talking about stringtheory, m-theory, supergravity
theory.
They believe in otherdimensions, other timelines and
places, and I think they'reright.
There are, but I think they'relooking at it wrong.
I think we are the sixthdimensional plane.
What is a dimension?

(10:57):
Think about looking at a TV set.
It's called 2D.
You got forward, backward, leftand right.
That's a two-dimensional plane,2d.
What's three-dimensional plane?
The IMAX theater.
The screen image comes off thescreen.
You end up with depth.
What is the fourth-dimensionalplane?
So if you're sitting in yourroom, which is a cube or a

(11:18):
sphere, you have forward,backward, left and right, up and
down.
If you're sitting in your room,which is a cube or a sphere,
you have forward, backward, leftand right, up and down, and
you're sitting in the room.
You are the fourth dimensionalplane.
You are a matter.
It takes time for you to getfrom point A to point B.
That is the fourth dimensionalplane.
You're moving in that threedimensional plane and you're the
fourth dimensional plane movingin an object.
That's the easiest way tounderstand it.

(11:39):
What is the fourth dimensionalplane?
Moving in an object?
That's the easiest way tounderstand it.
What is the fifth dimensionalplane and what is the sixth
dimensional plane?
I said we live in the sixthWell, matter.
You have to add to the equationThinner space, slower time,
heavier matter.
I think we are thinner space,slower time, heavier matter.
I think we are the sixthdimensional plane.
What does that mean?
I think our universe came fromanother dimension, not part of

(12:03):
our universe, I think it's from.
We came from another universe.
And why do I say that In mybook?
If you can get my book, it'seasier to understand.
How do I explain this?
Think of an aquarium.
Think of an aquarium half fullof water and the other half has

(12:27):
air in it.
So you got oxygen and hydrogenabove, oxygen and hydrogen below
.
You got other elements, but twodifferent temperatures.
The oxygen and the hydrogen isnot mixing with the water and if
the water cools it mixes withthe air.
Two different mediums, one youcan breathe in, the other one

(12:49):
you drown in.
Just think about that in anaquarium Half full of water,
half full of air.
So if you think of the water asthe fourth dimensional plane
and you think of the air as thefifth dimensional plane, now how
do I add the sixth dimensionalplane?
If you take an oil dropper, thelightweight, and just put one

(13:10):
drop of oil on the water, theoil stretches across the
aquarium.
You have pressure from the air,pressure from the water, and
everything is trying to seekbalance with each other.
So to me, the oil touching thewater is the big bang, the

(13:30):
release of energy.
It didn't explode, it'spressure that is released, all
right, so I hope that helps.
How do I explain further?
Okay, so I think that we camefrom a merging of another
universe, I.
So if you have an oil drop overhere in, drop oil over here.

(13:51):
These two oil will mix witheach other, won't mix with the
water, won't mix with the water,won't mix with the air, but
they'll mix with each other.
How do I explain that?
Think of a forest to the leftand another forest to the right.
One is smaller, one is larger,and as they get larger and the
forest plants, more seeds, moretrees grow and finally those two

(14:15):
separate forests join andcreate one forest.
How do I explain that further?
The Milky Way galaxy got largerby joining with other galaxies.
The Andromeda galaxy is fallingtoward us and when, billions of
years from now, will join withus and make us larger again.

(14:38):
But we have the smallMagellanic cloud and the large
Magellanic cloud One day willjoin with us also.
So our Milky Way galaxy camefrom a joining and I'm saying
our entire universe that we viewcame from a joining.

(15:01):
I matched the great wall, thegreat attractor and the great
void and the cosmic microwavebackground difference, the two
different temperatures.
If we had one universe over tothe left, one universe over to
the right and they merged, theywould create two different
temperatures.
Also, the gigantic void inspace.
It shows a merging.

(15:23):
So my paperwork, my book, keysto Unlocking the Universe, on
Amazon you can get, and tounderstand more, and if we let's
say hypothetically just workwith me hypothetically if other
dimensions are moving through us, shouldn't we be able to see it
?
In my paperwork I say yes, wecan see it.
We see dark matter and darkenergy.

(15:46):
That's unexplainable.
People say I'm going to tellyou what it is and what it does
Dark matter.
There's something in dark mattercalled a macho.
Macho stands for massive,compact halo object.

(16:08):
It's a lensing effect of abinary star.
That lensing we were looking ata star and what happened is
something that we can't see.
Moved in front of the star andthe star moved toward us and got
explicitly large.
It went from a red shiftspectrum moving away from us to

(16:30):
a blue in an instance like it'slike, came forward.
Well, that's, that's notpossible.
And then, as we and bloop, itgoes back to normal where it was
.
That was interaction fromsomething that's called dark
matter.
I say that something, that darkmatter is a black hole from

(16:52):
another dimension draggingthrough our area of space,
affecting our area of space,affecting our area of space.
Now they're mapping dark matter.
They just don't understand.
One minute's there and thenit's gone.
Because the matter that dark,that matter that's affecting
space, you can only see it whenit goes in front of a star and

(17:16):
messes with the light rays,refractive, pointed changes,
direction changes from red shiftto blue shift.
So I'm telling you what thatmacho is.
That macho is a black hole witha galaxy around it that's
moving through our area of space.
That's the way I understand theuniverse.

(17:39):
I think other dimensions exist,I think they're dragging
through us and I think we see it.
We just don't recognize what itis right now.
Dark energy and dark matter makeup a massive amount of the
universe.
I think dark matter makes updark matter.
I think makes up 27% of theuniverse.
I think dark matter makes up27% of the universe.

(18:00):
Now, think about that.
I know it's not a whole lot.
It's only 27%.
But dark energy.
Dark energy makes up 68%.
You know what the other 5% is.
That's us, that's us.
That's the stars, the galaxies,everything in your room, the
houses, the trees, the cars, theboats, everything, everything,

(18:21):
our suns, every sun that we cancount, all the stuff that we see
only makes up 5% of theuniverse.
We only make up 5% of theuniverse.
I want you to think about that.
5% is all we are.
Yep, all right, that's it byscience.
It's only five percent.

(18:42):
The rest is dark matter anddark energy.
So that means that we'resmaller than the other
dimensions.
That is larger than us.
To me, that's simple.
And why do I say otherdimensions exist?
Well, if dark matter and darkenergy, we can't explain it, why
don't you just give it a reason, say okay, that's another

(19:02):
dimension, now we can workthings out.
Just think about it.
If other dimensions exist, weknow that through string theory,
m-theory, supergravity theory.
Other scientists believe otherdimensions exist.
They don't If you don't makethe Earth first and special.
Get special out of the equation.
We weren't here before thedinosaurs.

(19:24):
We weren't here before the fish.
We weren't here before theplants.
We're not special.
Get special out of the equationand now you can work things out
.
Stop putting Earth as thecenter of the universe.
We're not not.
Stop thinking of us as beingspecial.
We're just another being livingin the universe.

(19:45):
Why would we be special?
What's wrong with you know?
Why can't everything else bespecial?
We don't.
We don't have to be special.
Get special out of the equation.
I think we can travel fasterthan the speed of light by
stepping over to anotherdimension and stepping back and
let the universe move without us.
That's what my second book isabout, and if you get my first

(20:07):
book, I hope I didn't talk toofast and I hope I explained
things a little bit.
Faster than light speed to meis possible because we're
already moving.
Just think about this If you goto an airport, think of being
in the airport and you've got anescalator going one direction
and another escalator going theother, and if you have your

(20:31):
luggage and you just set yourluggage on one escalator that's
already moving, the distancestarts to double because you're
going one way and your luggageon one escalator that's already
moving.
The distance starts to doublebecause you're going one way and
your luggage is going another.
If we step over to anotherdimension.
Let our luggage move, let usmove and then step back.
It didn't take a lot of energy,we're just using what's already

(20:55):
moving.
That's what I'm saying.
Have I figured out how to getover to another dimension?
No, I have not.
Do I want to figure it out?
Yeah, I think we can travelfaster than the speed of light
by stepping over to the otherdimension.
Not live in the other dimension, just use it for faster than
light speed travel.
And here's the thing too, ifwe're already moving at break,

(21:15):
next, you know, let's just gowith a simple 14 million miles
per hour.
When we step over to the otherdimension, we're not going to
stop moving, we're still movingat 14 million miles per hour,
plus all the other speed.
Plus we have to know speed,rotation and direction of the
other dimension to be able toget back to our earth or to

(21:35):
another planet Faster than lightspeed.
To me is possible by steppingover to another dimension and
let space move without us andthen step back and think about
this.
Kinetic energy has more mass ofthe particle than can be
explained.
But if you take our universerotating and falling into

(21:58):
another dimension, that mass ofthe particle having too much
energy, now.
You can explain it Now.
If you step over to anotherdimension, you're going to have
a lot of energy on you.
Then, when you step back,you're going to pick up energy.
It's like a gravitationalassist to go around a planet to
pick up speed with the ships wesent out into space.

(22:21):
We use a slingshot.
We go around the planet and usethe gravity to pick our speed
up.
We'll have a slingshot effectwhen we step over to another
dimension because it's going tobe a drag and a pull.
We will pick up speed and thenwhen we step back, we're going
to pick up speed again.
So we will have to design andfigure out you know, speed,

(22:43):
direction and rotation to slowdown and pick up so we can match
our universe.
So that's my idea of fasterthan light speed travel and how
we can.
So I hope you enjoyed thispodcast.
If you want to know more aboutme, I'm Clemens Kunkel, aka
Super Professor.

(23:04):
I have a YouTube channel, superProfessor, clemens Kunkel,
c-l-e-m-o-n-s-k-u-n-k-e-l.
I break beer bottle, winebottle and concrete block on
YouTube and how I can do that.
Kinetic energies, half time,the mass velocity squared.
It's all science.

(23:24):
That's the reason I can breakthe block and the beer bottle
and the wine bottle, all right.
So you guys have a good one.
Be careful, be safe.
And also, before I forget,man-made climate change is
dangerous as hell.
We need to fix it and we needto listen to the scientists.

(23:46):
You guys, take care, be safe.
