A Day In The Life Of A Space Explorer

Summary by Krater

A bored man who discovers all of Earth has been mapped takes a spaceship powered by faster-than-light tachyons to explore new planets, accidentally plants a flag in a giant living meadow animal, collects diamond rain on a diamond-raining planet, and returns to Earth 400 years later to find himself immortalized in a museum with his own statue.

From the video

Answers: What happens when an astronaut explores uncharted space and returns 400 years later?

• faster-than-light travel
• tachyon converter
• planet exploration
• living meadow planet
• diamond rain planets
• time dilation in space
• future museum exhibits

What it concludes

• Tachyons are particles that always move faster than light and get even faster when they lose energy.
• A solar twin is a star located about 50 light years away that is very similar to our sun.
• Pressure deep inside Neptune and Uranus is so high it squeezes carbon into diamonds, causing diamond rain.
• When you move incredibly fast, time stretches and your clock runs slower than everyone else's.
• Astronauts on space stations come home a tiny fraction of a second younger due to time dilation.
