      @@Happybro91 Earth sucks space, like a vacuum cleaner sucks air. And since sucking is omni-directional, the space speed (relative to Earth surface) is greater near Earth than the speed at high attitude. As a result, a body near the Earth and another body at high attidue moves with different speed through the sucking space. So, according to special relativity, time ticks differently for them.
      If you'll take a flat infinite surface with uniform gravitational field, there will be no difference in grativy at different attitudes. So, there will be no difference in time flow. In other words, time flows differently at different attitudes because Earth is round.

    The concept of these physics are quite profound. Without time, motion becomes impossible. This also means that motion and speed are affected by gravity in crazy and unexpected ways. Simply being in strong gravitational field does indeed affect aging. So when we “measure” the age of our universe which is expanding, was a year really a year when the universe was more dense? It certainly seems that 1 year very soon after the Big Bang could have actually been thousands or even millions of years relative to a year that we perceive now due to the gravitational affect of so much matter being in a smaller volume of a more compact universe.

    Loved using your relativity series to expand my knowledge and then finally intuitively demonstrate the concept of gravity being a fictional force to my friends. I made the flat spacetime graph, made the cone graph, and a figure to show Einstein's clock in like 15 minutes in a late night discord call. Started with Galileo's transformations on a train to introduce relative velocities, then used a thought experiment about what happens when Galileo lets go of the ball from the leaning tower of Pisa in terms of Newtons first and second laws of motion first from Newton's classical perspective where the ball begins to accelerate due to an applied force, and Einstein's where the ball remains at rest. Using your graphs, I showed how the equivalency principle shows us Einstein's alternative explaination for our observations. It was incredibly fun for everyone and I thank you for your efforts.
    For the sake of time (pun intended) and my own limited intuition I asked them to accept time dilation and that we observe it now in many ways but I suppose ill be threading in an imaginary space station next time.
    Its still hard for me to take a leap in this demonstration from objects accelerating toward eachother with zero relative motion to the idea they could accelerate away from eachother without relative motion. Luckily, I live in an area with gravity so I'm confident it happens 😂

    @Mahesh_Shenoy I have a doubt in your video of train paradox, consider a situation where there is another door/ sensor, before the mid point of tunnel. Then from the train's perspective, the order of doors closing/ sensors receiving messages will be right to left. Now if you look at the same scene with a stationary perspective, you will see that the new door/sensor closes first then the left and right door closes simultaneously.
    Now let us take the doors/sensors as events 1,2,3 from right to left respectively. Therefore, the order from the train's perspective is 1-> 2-> 3. But from the stationary perspective the order will be 2-> 1=3. So my doubt is that how could the order of events change. Also if there was another train moving opposite to the motion of this train it would see the order of events as 3-> 2-> 1 ( reversed ).

    What would happen if the people near the center of the rotating space station started recording 2 videos - one streaming live, the other a stand-alone space smartphone that begins recording everything live at the center of the ship and keeps recording continuously whilst traveling to the outer ring (and has storage and power that will not run out). The streaming signal is broadcast while the space smartphone is continuously recording live the entire trip (and is put in a little escape pod and ejected toward the outer edge or traveling inside the ship on a little delivery Robot if it’s all connected and can reach the outer edge people). When the outer edge people start receiving the streaming signal, what do they see? Are there gaps in the broadcast signal, or does it show the center ship people in fast forward gradually slowing down, or what exactly would it look like to the outer ring people seeing it?
    Now for the space smartphone: When they receive the space smartphone they stop the recording (which has been recording without stopping the entire trip from the center people to when it reaches the outer edge people). They now begin playing back the recorded trip…does the video, now playing in their reference frame but recorded from its point of view in its reference frame from the center to the edge, what would that video look like to them? Would it start out playing super fast and gradually slow down or just be a super long, super boring video of endless hallways and passing by in “normal speed”?
    And just to be extra complicated, what if there were 2 devices recording, one digital and one on an old analog film recorder with rotating gears and wheels and endless videotape - how would the digital video compare to the analog recorded video with both now playing in this outer ring reference frame but recording all the time between? Does digital recording have any difference to the analog recording that had gears/wheels while recording? From the recording device’s perspectives time has just always been the same, but when the people in the outer ring frame of reference watch the recorded videos,starting the playback of both devices at the same time and watch them side by side…do they see video and hear sound that runs at different speeds from the beginning to the end? Do the 2 devices vary compared to each other? Or is just a boring standard speed video on both devices? How does the recorded video compare to the streaming video (if it had been recorded by the outer ring people while streaming and now also played back starting at the same time as the devices that travelled from the center to the outer ring? Hopefully this is an interesting thought experiment and not so obvious that I dont later think “why did I even ask that?” :-) And thank you, love this sort of thing; thumbs up and Sub’d! :-)

    I've stumbled across one gap in the explanation that bugs me. In the spaceship, what really caused the time dilation isn't acceleration as such, it's speed. So to understand why gravity “causes” time dilation, we have to show that massive bodies somehow make everything nearby “move” faster. You've hinted at a solution out by showing that motion is a way to combine acceleration with constant distances, but it would be great if there were a way to demonstrate it more directly.

And you are moving with your local spacetime but when you are on a surface standing, then you feel the force down at your feet , here you are resisting the flow of space hence you are moving through space , also the faster you move through your spacial dimension the slower you move through the time dimension.

    I think comparing gravity (which is not a force) with a centripetal force (which is a force; the electromagnetic force to be exact) will only help as an intuition for what is actually happening and only muddles the water from there on out. The difference is that the centripetal force is actually accelerating the observers where as it's the space-time curvature itself that is responsible, which is definitely not an acceleration. Problem now is that we are back at the question from the beginning of this video. You should have sticked with your older explanation, which I'm glad you mentioned so that other people can learn it the proper way.
    2 objects falling onto earth at different altitudes with the same initial speed will have different moving clocks although they don't accelerate; they are just moving in a straight line trough curved spacetime, meaning no acceleration and no change in their speed; and yet time dilation still happens.

    Another Banger, but I am concerned that you're perpetuating a grave misconception: that time dilation between two locations depends on the difference in their local gravity field strengths...which is a natural conclusion from the rotating wheel "model" (it's not a model: it is real gravity, but an analysis gets into Ehrenfest's Paradox, which is hole nother video). Bear with me:
    Where in Earth does time run slowest? Dead Sea?, Challenger Deep? The Kola Super-Deep bore hole?
    No: THE CENTER! (iirc, it has accumulated a 2.5 year lag since "The Beginning").
    OK: what is the local gravity at the center of the earth: ZERO, ofc, by symmetry, shell th'm, etc etc.
    Time dilation between two points depends on the difference in the gravitational potential energy between the two points, and is not related to the local field strength, which leads to a fun fact:
    with Newton's kinetic energy KE = 1/2 m v^2
    and Newton's potential energy PE = GM/r
    time dilation is: gamma = 1/sqrt(1 - 2E/c^2).
    with KE (PE) for relative motion (gravitational potential).
    with the formulae diverging at v=c and the Schwarzschild radius, respectively.

      If you may allow then I would like to give the possible explanation. At the heart of it, what we perceive to be gravity is the equivalent of experiencing an accelerated frame of reference. In any case, gravity is due to the acceleration of ground towards us, due to the curvature of spacetime.
      It slows down time because again, it's essentially an acceleration. As per the analogy described in the video, such an acceleration, due to time dilation and special relativity, slows down time.
      Lastly, the g arrow in the rotating spaceship must not be confused with it being a planet or black hole. It is the analogy used to show how greater acceleration induces greater time dilation. Since the outer parts have greater velocity, they have greater acceleration.
      Hope it helps;)

But space is flowing to the center of mass as the earths expansion accelerates to meet it with a slight positive velocity? Pls help answer Adrito and correct any mistakes in any explanations!

So, to draw a complete circle, even though it may seem like line physical lines take the same amount of time to be drawn, the "length" of time (the circle) is longer.

    In my opinion this explanation is an elusion as usual. It is true that both speed and gravity slows down time keeping but as it has never been explained how a big mass bends space time more than a small mass without having some kind of influence (force) from the mass I can't see why we might not as well use the old explanation.
    If you have an oscillating (like a pendulum) electro magnetic signal in any cell, atom or even the smallest particle then if it moves it will take longer for the signal to go from one side to the other and back for the oscillation. This will slow down time keeping. The faster the slower but it is not linear.
    It is there fore no big deal that if gravity influences light (as I believe has been found although I am still skeptical)) and light is an electro magnetic emission then time should be measured slower in a strong gravitational field.
    Mahesh is very smooth and fast in his explanations just like a magician. One must take it very slowly, stop often to think about it and then verify and I must admit it is difficult. Albert Einstein must have been the same as many of his explanations supposedly where not even his own.

    I have another way to explain this but I am not sure if its correct or not.
    the big mass of the star (or blackhole) creates curvature in space time, which make the space around it more dense. for example 100 meters in empty space will dense into 20 meters around the star. so when I travel 20 meter near the star I actually traveled 100 meter at the same time. which means I moved faster by a factor of 5.
    thus creates the time dilatation due to faster speed.

    According to sir's previous videos it is clear that due to time curvature and surface of a planet accelerating up path of light can be bend near a planet due to "time curvature" but what about space curvature.... How does it bend the path of light?.... That is my question sir😊.....

    Thank you. Terrific video. I've been saying for some time that spacetime curvature is, in fact simply time dilation. When light travels through space it is always travelling in a straight line from its own point of view and what makes it lens and bend to an observer is in fact time dilation, to keep the velocity of light constant and dilate time to another frame it also passes you effectively curve the distance between them. It's an illusion, spacetime curvature is just a topography of time dilated frames of reference.
    But this revision of Einstein's explanation using relativistic acceleration explains it much better than I do. Time dilated frames of acceleration reference as topographical gravitation is the term I'll use from now on.

If I am watching a person near a black hole, and one way out in space, they should both age 24 hours on my clock if I watch them for 24 hours right? Just never understood how one covering more distance affected time. Time is only particles moving position, even objects setting dead still have subatomic and atomic particles, cells, etc. moving all over. So does heavy gravity just slow ALL particle movements?

Even accounting for orbital plane of the craft vs orbital plane of the planet, the planet could never exist experience such a massive shearing of time and space across its own spinning diameter. Plus the was gargantua which had a very gentle event horizon due to its massive size making it more survivable of a black hole to fall into. Assuming it even was a black hole instead of something similar and artificially created for us by future us?

    Regarding the Model Discussed around 15:55, what would have happened if the gravitational force near the centre were more significant? In a case where there's a disc kept at a certain distance from a sphere horizontally, the centre of the disc is aligned with the centre of the sphere. In this case, even though an observer at the centre would see that the observer near the edge has a clock ticking at a slower rate, how can we possibly explain the slowing down of his clock due to gravity as compared to the slowing down of the clock of the observer near the edge, as the clock at the centre should tick slower than the clock near edge due to high gravitational field?

  • @seabeepirate
    @seabeepirate Місяць тому +2

    I've had a question I'm hoping you'll address about approaching the speed of light or the event horizon of a black hole. The science communicator channels all seem to agree that when your ship exceeds the speed of light you disappear but they don't ever mention red shifting during the process. It seems to me that it wouldn't be an instantaneous switch from visible to gone, and that after the boundary is reached(supposing it were possible) you would red shift into invisibility as your ship accelerated further. From the point of view of the the ship going into the black hole it would look like the rest of the universe was moving on and aging more and more quickly, I think, and an outside observer would see time slow down and stop for the ship then it would appear to fade into infrared until it became undetectable. What are your thoughts?

    Very Good intuition. As far as I know centripetal acceleration is another effect different and independent from space-time curvature. In fact we experience both phenomena here on Earth surface and each contribute (oppositely) to the ''gravity pull'' we feel. Nevertheless, the ''time dilation''' effects adds up. When you explain the different time dilation for different observers on a rotating space station from a ''special relativity frame'', for an outside observer, I thought that for relative time dilation to ''occur'' (and length contraction), the motion has to be in the direction of the observer, not sideways. I may be wrong tough

    Let's consider a graph of "speed" in a spacetime coordinate system with space in the x-axis and time in the y-axis. Does everything move at a constant speed c (speed of light) in a certain direction? If speed in space (x-axis) is close to 'c' then the time component (y-axis) will be much less. Vice-a-versa if speed in space (x-axis) is 0 then the time component (y-axis) will be maximum?

      The friction caused by the object interacting with the medium affects the object, in this case the feather and slows down it compared to the metal. In a vacuum, it would land at the same time . There is a video from Prof.Brian Cox who demonstrates that in a vacuum chamber. It also happens in a “no atmosphere scenario” or there is no medium that interferes the speed. This tested during one of the moon landing.

      Do your experiment on the Moon and the feather and the metal will hit the surface of the Moon at exactly the same instant.
