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.

How does the Alcubierre Warp Drive concept relate to the idea of FTL travel?

Illustrate how the world lines of the two ships can be represented in a spacetime diagram.

What implications does the paradox of FTL travel have on our understanding of time?
