  • We learned a bit about general relativity and the curvature of spacetime, both earlier in this series, as well as in the modern physics course. But let's talk a bit more about the astronomical observations that corroborate this theory. Let's look at black holes and the stars that orbit them. Let's look at gravitational lensing, and gravitational waves. These are all incredible phenomena that we can see in telescopes that tell us Einstein was absolutely right when he developed his theory a little bit over a century ago. Take a look!

    Okay can we just talk about something?
    When we're all kids, we were just told and took on faith that Einstein was incredibly brilliant. So much so that it was basically a cliche that we all rolled our eyes at. But the more I learn about physics, the more I'm starting to realize that we didn't know the HALF of just how brilliant and influential Einstein really was.
    This man really was a game-changer and somehow deserves even more credit than the average layman gives him.

    Hey Professor Dave, I was reading/confused by a book by Kip Thorne called The Science of Interstellar and where Thorne said, "Black holes are made from warped space and warped time. Nothing else-no matter whatsoever." I was confused because I'd thought that black holes were made when the fabric of spacetime was distorted by a high density of matter. I googled it and all the easy answers say that black holes have mass (and are made of matter?). The two statements are contradictory and I guess I'm wondering if I'm just not smart enough (likely), if there is some nuance that I'm missing in Kip Thorne's explanation (possible) or if Thorne is wrong/misleading (probably not but idk). I'll add a longer section of the chapter so you can see Thorne's full explanation (if you want more context to judge his argument).
    This passage is from the Chapter titled "Black Holes":
    ---
    "The Black hole Gargantua plays a major role in Interstellar. Let's look at the basic facts about black holes in this chapter and then focus on Garganua in the next.
    First, a weird claim: Black holes are made from warped space and warped time. Nothing else-no matter whatsoever. Now some explanation.
    Ant on a Trampoline: A Black Hole's Warped Space
    Imagine you're an ant any you live on a child's trampoline-a sheet of rubber stretched between tall poles. A heavy rock bends the rubber downward, as shown in Figure 5.1. You're a blind and, so you can't see the poles or the rock or the bent rubber sheet. But you're a smart ant. The rubber sheed is your entire universe, and you suspect it's warped. To determine its shape, you walk around a circle in the upper region measuring its circumference, and then walk through the center from one side of the circle to the other, measuring its diameter. If your universe were flat, then the circumference would be pi=3.14159... times the diameter. But the circumference, you discover, is highly warped!
    Space around a non-spinning black hole has the same warping as the trampoline: Take an equatorial slice through the black hole. This is a two-dimensional surface. As seen from the bulk, this surface is warped in the same manner as the trampoline. Figure 5.2 is the same as figure 5.1, with the ant and poles removed and the rock replaced by a singularity at the black hole's center.
    The singularity is a tiny region where the surface forms a point and thus is "infinitely warped," and where, it turns out, tidal gravitational forces are infinitely strong, so matter as we know it gets stretched and squeezed out of existence. In Chapters 26, 28, and 29, we see that Gargantual's singularity is somewhat different from this one, and why.
    For the trampoline, the warping of space is produced by the rock's weight. Similarly, one might suspect, the black hole's space warp is produced by the singluarity at its center. Not so. In fact, the hole's space is warped by the enormous energy of its warping. Yes, that's what I meant to say. If this seems a bit circular to you, well, it is. But it has a deep meaning.
    Just as it requires a lot of energy to bend a stiff bow in preparation for shooting an arrow, so it requires a lot of energy to bend space; to warp it. And just as the bending energy is stored in the bent bow (until the string is released and feeds the bow's energy into the arrow), so the warping energy is stored in the black hole's warped space. And for a black hole, that energy of warping is so great that it generates the warping.
    Warping begets warping in a non-linear, self-bootstrapping manner. This is a fundamental feature of Einstein's relativistic laws, and so different from everyday experience. It's somewhat like a hypothetical science-fiction character who goes backward in time and gives birth to herself.
    This warping-begets-warping scenario does not happen in our solar system at all. Throughout our solar system the space warps are so weak that their energy is miniscule, far too small to produce much boot strapped warping. Almost all the space wraping in our solar system is produced directly by matter-the Sun's matter, the Earth' matter, the matter of the other planets-by contrasts with a black hole where the warping is fully resposible for the warping." (pp. 45-7)

    Sorry, there's one thing I don't get: in the 1919 experiment, why the light of the star goes around the sun? That looks like gravity is repulsive, deforming spacetime away from the sun. Shouldn't the light curve towards the sun, and not be able to be seen? What makes sense to me is the light being curved towards the sun gravity pull and not away from it.

      @user-pk9qo1gd6r 4 роки тому +1

      Our eyes assume that light travels in a straight line, so which ever direction the light is hitting our eyes from is assumed to be the point it comes from. Since light is deflected towards the sun it comes at a sharper angle than it should and so appears to come from a point further from the Sun.
      It's much easier to understand with a diagram so have a look at this: qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-a9523de0c5a28dd8d64d06fa06f52116

      Edited to add: Also... if that's the case... what would the implications be with regard to time dilation caused by traveling at relativistic speeds (your experience of time slows down), while crossing a vast expanse where there is no mass (speeding time up)?

    Does light curve around objects or does light simply follow a straight path and the expanding universe causes light to curve?
    If the curve is caused by the expansion of space, can't we calculate how much the universe is expanding by calculating the degree of curve (how much distance) against the speed of which light travels?
    If space would expand twice as fast wouldn't the light curve double in distance?

    • @Spillerrec

      This is just stuff I learned from other videos, but if I understand it correctly light follow a straight path in 4D spacetime, it only looks curved because it is flattened to visualize it in 3D. And yes, people have estimated the expansion of the universe by measuring the delay between the 'same' light curved differently.

    • @scptime1188
      @scptime1188 3 роки тому +1

      Second one. Since objects in motion on a certain path stay in motion on that same path, objects will always try to go in a straight line. Thing is, straight lines in curved space look like curved lines in normal space. Since we can't see spacetime curving, we perceive gravity as a force pulling things together. Sort of like how longitude lines on a globe go inwards towards the north pole. Someone following one of these lines will feel like they are going in a straight line; because they _are_ going in a straight line, just on a curved surface. However, if another person was going alongside them, they would appear to be pulled towards the first. That is what gravity is, judt with 4 dimensions and lots of maths and I've also forgotten to mention time haven't I? Well, i won't here, too complicated.
      But yeah, that's gravity.

    The question that needs to be asked is can aliens see us with gravitational lensing? It’s been 14,000 years since artificial light can be distinguished on regular bases from our large cities/villages. 14,000 light years, that is getting some distance. So that's like 10% to 14% of the Milky Way. So that is 40 to 50 billion stars. Each star system having 6 planets. That’s 300 billion planets. However, saying 14,000 light years is the planet's detectable limit is probably underestimating our light bubble by a few hundred million years. If you add in the 'Cambrian Explosion' were animals started changing the visible atmosphere, it makes the earth's noticeable life light bubble quite a bit further out. In fact, it puts it at 541 million light years. I realize that even with gravitational lensing it would be impossible to distinguish us at that distance. Unless they were advance enough to make the lensing happen with two or more gravitational bodies. They would need the right gravitational bodies to be aligned but they would only need a fraction of second out of millions upon millions of years to detect us. This brings up the question that Dr. Fermi asked while eating lunch at a Los Alamos cafeteria a few miniscule decades ago, "So where are all the aliens?

Yet he often idealised certain elements of his models' facial features, who were typically statuesque, especially in his triptychs. All of his forms are rendered with rich, warm colourisation and a sympathetic expression, while he is known for his expressive pathos and naturalism. His portraits tend to be half length and half profile, and he is as sympathetic here as in his religious triptychs. Van der Weyden used an unusually broad range of colours and varied tones; in his finest work the same tone is not repeated in any other area of the canvas, so even the whites are varied.

    LIGO didn't use live observations. It used 250k+ computer generated collisions of variable sized black hole and neutron star combinations. THEN armed with computer generated theoretical observations they went on a pattern hunt to compare the data of the detectors to the simulated data. Great use of the scientific method. If collisional observations don't exist, make your own!

Predictive power is vital to a scientific theory and astrophysics has it.

    Very good video and you know If space were void no
    system would hold its bodies relative to each other in their orbits.
    The "time" field of the Sun establishes a zero field of time relative to
    the planet's opposition of hemispherical polarities. The opposition of
    the Earth's polarities relative to the energy charge of its mass is what
    establishes its position in the solar system.
    A small planet can be of greater density than a larger one. Its
    composition of the elements may be such, however, that its charge
    relative to its mass may be less.
    The "time" field of the Earth is at the magnetic equator. At the Earth's
    surface it is narrowed down to about the thickness of a razor blade.

      You have to look at their range of action. The nuclear forces drop off after about the diameter of a nucleus.

    so, Space around Sun is warped we can't imagine it, Sun is rotating 24x7, so Space around Sun is also rotateing? If Yes then is it really earth & other planets rotateing around Sun or Sun's rotateing space forceing planets to rotate. It's like you tk a bucket of water , rotate it fast, place a big floating ball, then place small flaoting balls, eventually everting will rotate, bcz underlining water is rotateing. When water speed gets way less, big ball will come at center and other rotates around it.
    sun's rotateing speed is less, what if it's very high , I mean million times more then will space around it will also rotate million times more fast. Which will actually distort space time.
    I guess black hole r just planets with no thermo nuclear fuel , rotateing at ultra high speed, which causes space around them to rotate at high speed , which intern causes no light pass through them which is why we can't see them.

    One of these days, someone is going to quantize gauge theory gravity, and curved spacetime will join phlogiston and the ptolemaic universe as a quaint, old-fashioned notion from the past. Gauge theory gravity and general relativity are both derived from the Einstein-Hilbert action, so they make almost the same predictions. Orbital precession, gravitational lensing, everything. But gauge theory gravity models gravity as a field in flat Minkowsky space, so it may be less pathological at subatomic scales, and it may be easier to combine with field theory into a "theory of everything". No curvature required, just a sort of "index of refraction" that slows light down in a gravitational field.

      Gauge theory gravity projects the curved spacetime of general relativity onto the flat spacetime of special relativity, then compensates for the closer spacing of points (along the gradient in the gravitational potential) by adding something called the "displacement field". Relativity is better science fiction, but gauge theory is better science.

      @@ProfessorDaveExplains Let's put it this way: Gauge theory gravity demonstrates that curved spacetime isn't a proven fact. In a review of GTG, David Hestenes says "[Einstein's] conclusions depended critically on the mathematics at his disposal, and displacement gauge theory was not an option available to him." So relativity was the only way to formulate a gauge-invariant theory of gravity in the early 20th century. Personally, I suspect that a gauge theory in flat spacetime (GTG) will be more compatible with other gauge theories in flat spacetime (quantum field theory), since it differs from GR in not allowing exotic sci-fi phenomena like wormholes.

If we can show K-S coordinates are a more accurate way to describe black holes than Gullstrand-Painlevé coordinates, which are allowed by GTG, then GTG is not adequate. I'm not an expert on this field by a long shot, maybe you know something about G-P and K-S coords that I don't, but since both allow black holes, then this is a position where GR and GTG give different predictions, so if we can somehow show one or the other to describe black holes more accurately, we can show one or the other to be a more accurate description of reality. As well, K-S coordinates can give a good description of a black hole's interior at every point before the singularity itself, which sounds like predictive power. Maybe future methodology will let us determine if K-S or G-P give a more accurate prediction of a black hole's insides, or maybe we'll find a wormhole and send something through it. Trying to predict the future of science is almost certainly going to be at least a little wrong.
