The Physics Behind the New

Disney Pixar Movie: Lightyear

"Lightyear" follows the illustrious Space Ranger

after he and his crew are marooned on a dangerous
planet 4.2 million light-years from Earth. It is a sci-
fi action-adventure and the definitive biography of
Buzz Lightyear, the hero who served as the model
for the toy. A group of eager recruits and Buzz's
endearing robot cat companion Sox join him as
they search for a way to return home through
space and time. The arrival of Zurg, a commanding
presence with a horde of merciless robots and a
shadowy agenda, complicates things and endangers
the mission.

Although marketed as a family-friendly PG-rated

children's film, the time travel and time dilation plot
points will be completely lost on most children
under the age of ten. However, for those who enjoy
science and physics, this film will undoubtedly be
both entertaining and educational.

In the first scene of the brand-new
Disney Pixar movie Lightyear, Buzz
Lightyear and his crew find themselves
stranded on a perilous planet in another

person crew disembarks and establishes
a habitable colony while Buzz conducts
a series of experimental test flights at
speeds close to the speed of light in an
attempt to recreate the hyperspace fuel

the whole film exciting and absolutely

really interesting part about it is the
mystery of how time appeared to turn
into Buzz's greatest adversary. Exactly
what is time dilation? Was everything
just science fiction, or was it truly
possible to time travel in real life like
Buzz in the movie?

 LIGHTYEAR LINKED TO EINSTEIN’S THEORY OF
RELATIVITY

- One of Einstein's relativity principles is that “Time is relative.”

Time dilation might seem like science fiction, but in fact it is a real phenomenon that
Buzz is experiencing. Albert Einstein's theory of relativity, one of the most well-known
scientific theories ever created, predicts time dilation.

In contrast to Newton's theory, which holds that time is like a single enormous clock
that ticks away the seconds uniformly for everyone, Einstein's theory of relativity broke
the master clock into many clocks, one for each moving person and object. Everyone
carries their own clock around with them in Einstein's model of the cosmos. There is no
guarantee that the clocks will run at the same rate as a result of this. In actuality, a lot
of clocks will run at varying speeds.

It follows that your clock will run slower than someone else's if you move faster than
they do. In other words, if you move through space at a high speed, like Buzz does, it
may seem like only a few minutes have passed, but someone on the planet you left
behind may have been living there for years. Additionally, a second phenomenon called
length contraction also occurs along with time dilation. The space between your
spaceship and an object will appear to be condensed when you are moving very quickly
toward it.

Hence, time dilation resembles time travel in some ways. It offers a way to enter
someone else's future. Buzz does this by leaping into the lives of his friends who have
still been on the planet below. That being said, time dilation cannot be used to go
backward in time and visit the past (just as also stated in the film). You cannot travel
into your own future using time dilation, either. This means that simply moving quickly
is not a known method of allowing you to meet your older self in the future.

Nevertheless, with time travel, real or not, one thing is for sure. There is just no doubt
that "Lightyear's" technical aspects are top-notch, demonstrating beyond all wonder
that Pixar is still the gold standard in computer-generated animation and will remain so
for a very long time. Zurg's invasionary robots, roaring rockets, alien spacecraft, and
the views of space are breathtaking and imaginative. Everything is extremely addictive
when consumed as pure science fiction eye candy.

OTHER SIMILAR MOVIES TO LIGHTYEAR THAT ALSO

RELATE TO RELATIVITY THEORY

The plot and visuals of Christopher Nolan's in the science fiction film "Interstellar"
were also heavily inspired by Albert Einstein's general relativity equations. Because
Einstein's theory states that any mass warps space-time, the movie used Thorne's
data to create blackholes and wormholes, also known as Einstein-Rosen bridges.
Meanwhile, Sam Neill's portrayal of the disturbed Dr. Weir in the sci-fi horror film
Event Horizon also shows how one might get around the restrictions of special
relativity. He explains that we could travel across the galaxy quickly and far from the
special relativity speed limit of less than c if we could somehow bend space itself and
then jump across the shortcut. In general relativity, mass actually bends space-time,
making it theoretically possible to bring far-off locations in space-time much closer to
one another
