      @Niels Kloppenburg while I don't subscribe to the theory of flat-earthers, I do understand the premises they set forth. Their model of earth has the south pole as the imaginary border of a disk, and the north pole as the center. So melting a pole on their planet has different affects depending on the pole.

    Aight after watching this video 58 times over the course of the last 4 years this is what I’ve learned about this video:
    - Objects with mass curve the space and the existence of *time* allows objects with mass to move and because space is curved by the objects with mass they start to move through the curved space that keeps being curved by the objects with mass and eventually the objects with mass meet each other in a point in space curving the space in a way that the objects with mass keep being together at the same place in space.
    - So the objects with mass are not “attracted” to each other, they’re just moving through the three dimensional universe thanks to time and they move because their mass causes the space to curve, if space is three dimensional the curvature is a three dimensional curvature, this three dimensional curvature causes the objects with mass to move through space AND time.
    - If *time* did not exist, objects with mass would remain immobile in space, what we know as "gravity" would not exist in a universe without something like time.
    Objects with mass move through space because their masses curve space and time causes that movement to occur, in other words, time, which only moves in one direction, causes objects with mass to move through space, which can only move in one direction, "forward" in time.
    So, the answer to the question “which way is down?” turns out to be what we know as the direction objects with mass move in the dimension of time.
    When you reproduce a video of a guy bungee jumping you’ll see him “falling DOWN”.
    But what if you move “backwards” in time?
    If you reproduce the same video in reverse you will see the dude “falling UP” moving in the opposite direction of the earth, not towards the earth like we do in this universe.
    We humans are just objects with mass and the planet earth is another object with mass, we are not “attracted” to the earth, we are just moving forward in time through a curved space, curvature in space caused in a big part by this MASSIVE object that is our planet earth.
    “Going down” is just “going forward” in time.

      You're overthinking it with the time thing. E=mc^2 means energy and mass are one and the same, just different manifestations of the same thing. Mass and energy warps space-time, so say an asteroid at rest, but moving in a velocity (not accelerating) far from the Earth, will continue on its way without interacting much with the Earth. An asteroid going at the right speed and moving close to the Earth can be captured into orbit, like a moon. It's at rest, but falling as fast as the curvature of the Earth so it never strikes the Earth. An asteroid that is closer, will circle the Earth and slowly fall down and strike it. But all three objects are at rest, moving in a straight line. It's only the mass of the Earth curving space-time causing the last two asteroids to "fall" towards it.
      Also, light no mass, but its path (space-time) is curved, so light will bend around massive objects. That's why even light can't escape the curvature of space-time created by black holes.

"only when the pencil hits the Earth" is true but hides something very important. Yes the pencil hits the Earth but in reality is the Earth that hits the pencil... Since the Earth is traveling through space and the pencil isn't!
      And it isn't because there are no forces acting on it... 22:09 "every part of the pencil follows a straight line"
      A straight line in this diagram means that the pencil is not moving in space - (hence the straight line) it's only moving in time (in time in the spacetime diagram (which is 4 dimensional btw..)).
      Therefore that was a cool video but Michael lost the best opportunity to say these words "When you let something fall... It doesn't".

      he invented calculus so that he can calculate planets orbits more easily.
      thats pretty insane.
      and apparently he did it because someone told him that he wont be able to.
      and most of his work was not even published.
      he was just doing it for fun and dare it seems.
