Aside from all the information and learning, the one thing I find the most amazing is the fact he made most of the video in a single shot, not much editing needed! You're great, definitively subscribing!
No problem, it was a fun challenge writing, filming, and editing a video in under 24 hours. Thanks for all the great programming you guys produce. Your channel is one of two that I use as a template for developing my stage presence and delivery. (Not something they really teach you as a physicist. :)
Glad you enjoyed it, I was pleasantly surprised when Hank reblogged it. The way I see it, no matter how careful you are with researching shows, mistakes will slip through the cracks. Great thing about RUclips is that a correction is only a comment away.
Thanks for the video. When I first watched the Scishow video I was happy with the subject and thought it to be one of their best vids up until the mistakes on gravity. Such a gross mistake (at least, from my view...) almost made me give up on the show. How certain can I be about other videos with such mistakes? I'm glad they had the good sense to own up to their error and link such a precise correction.
Ultimately General relativity is holding up pretty well with respect to the tests we've thrown at it.There are some anomalies like dark matter and dark energy. In the case of dark matter, physicists are pretty sure that the observations are explained by some kind of particle, and not a problem with the theory of gravity. I'm sure Einsteins theory will break down at some energy scale, all theories do, but I don't think anyone knows what that scale is.
The issue was that his quantum stuff was immediately testable and that's a must for a Nobel. Special relativity was harder to test in a lab (I don't think clocks were that good back then), and I believe general relativity came after his Nobel.
I like the demonstration where someone puts his/her fist on a cushion or rubber mat and rolls a ball across the depression made. In that case, the person is demonstrating the distortion of space-time caused by gravity without actually using gravity like you said earlier. Using gravity to explain gravity is like defining a word by using the word that you are trying to define lol.
I love how respectful you are in your explanation. I was definitely going to call you out on the misquote, but I feel like you earned back your nerd points in the rest of the video. I hope so see more stuff from you in the future. :)
Others obviously disagree but I personally think you did well and were entertaining, you were engaging and presented the errors and information in a thought out easy to understand way. It definitely wasn't boring but you aren't Hank, still well put and I can't complain except about small things that make you seem amateurish (proper lighting ect ect) I don't understand where SuperAlphasomethingsomething was coming from with failing to entertain.
I think that is something else, but I would need to look it up. Inflation doesn't actually change the speed of light, it changes how fast space itself is expanding.
Thanks for the kind review :) I actually managed to get my hands on a lighting rig, but I could pick it up in time for this video :P My more recent ones have much better lighting.
Well lots of things get lost when you're trying to distribute science knowledge to the masses. You want to make it easier to understand, approachable and informative and oh yeah under 10 minutes. The good thing is that Hank has acknowledged it and even promoted TheGentlemanPhysics on his tumblr. I'm just grateful there's some dialogue going on across my tumblrs and youtube subscriptions!
BTW, I also notice some mistakes in crashcourse biology: Bacteria have a unique chromosome. Of course, they also can TRANSFER plasmids, but they aren't the main source of their genetic material. The other thing is that the main difference between Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria is the number of bilipid layers. Gram positive have a cell wall surrounding a membrane layer, while negatives ones has 2 layers surrounding the wall (inner and outer layer). Am I wrong?
It pretty much can't be higher than the Planck scale (although it could certainly be much lower), since GR tends to get grumpy when the stress-energy tensor gets all quantumy. But, that's really not that much of a restriction.
The funny thing is, Einstein's photons were a resurrection of Newton's corpuscles of light. In the 19th century, scientists found that light behaved as a wave. So, they rejected Newton's corpuscles of light. Until Einstein showed that light does indeed travel in little packets.
I haven't really read up on that stuff recently, as far as I know there is no direct evidence that the speed of light was ever different then it is now. Maybe future experiments will show it was different, but they haven't yet.
I meant 'the Doctor' as in the unified character.:) Though if I had to chose, despite disliking the actor's antics, I will always have a soft spot for Christopher Eccleston's portrayal.
The point of my videos is to reach out to others and get them interested in physics. If I posted a comment maybe Hank would see it, maybe a handful of others would as well. Making a video got the physics out to 2800+ people (at this time), including you. As for whether or not it was entertaining, what can I say? Very few people have a natural stage presence, it takes work and time. I don't know a better way of developing one, other then by practicing. Cheers, hope you stay tuned.
I'm not as familiar with Newton's theories, he was another one of those intellectual giants that revolutionized so many pieces of physics that it's hard to keep track of them all:P
the thing i hate most about how people explain gravity, is that they use our gravity to explain it... the bowling ball (or whatever mass) stretches the rubber mat (space-time) yet required gravity to demonstrate it... something is wrong here.... how could we demonstrate gravity, in a gravity free environment!
So technically if something was 8 billion light years away wouldn't the light have traveled much further than 8 billion light years due to this? Also, often someone says "this galaxy IS 8 billion light years away, we see it as it Was 8 billion years ago".. Isn't this not true on multiple fronts? Not only would the space in between have expanded in that time, the galaxy would be moving away quite fast so would no longer be there as we are not, as far as we know, gravitationally bound..Thoughts?
correction, relatively safe behind magnetic somethings, and an atmosphere of something containing some kinds of gases that we can breathe while hurling through space and time in a cosmic shooting gallery around a huge nuclear fusion plant that will one day destroy us if we make it that long.... but yea.... "safe". :-D
Though no expert, as a cell phone GPS is affected by Earth gravity, even walking down a flight of stairs INCREASES general relativity induced time dilation, it plays a part in all matter- look forward to hearing more of your fun, off cuff, casual, informal, way!
I wouldn't go so far as to say that Einstein could be wrong, rather he described an incomplete picture. From what I gather, Einstein could be encompassed much like he did with Newton. But "wrong"? Sir, you blaspheme! lol ;) And never mind people calling this rude. They don't understand that any good scientist knows they aren't beyond reproach and being corrected publicly or privately is fair game as long as everything is good natured, as is the case here. Subbed! B2B sent me...
try to develop a style of your own, try to illuminate yourself better!, try to preapare a script and every 15 to 20 seconds make some change, a camera change, cut to another scene, etc. Are you an engineer? And of you are going to talk about gravity in a relativistic way (by summoning einsten ) you should include the fact that time also is part of this bending space!! ... and .. keep on doing videos!!! cheers
We might be missing something, I was talking to a Mathematician (not sure what type, but he wouldnt stop) when i went on vacation, and he wouldnt stop talking about "Einstein must be wrong" and kept assuring me, theres something missing... i was too drunk to even consider thinking about physics...(vacation) what are your thoughts on Einstein, and dark energy...
Yeah it's understandable, no one can be an expert on everything. I've seen a few clips of physicists putting their foot in their mouths on topics like bio, chemistry, and philosophy. I guess turn around is fair play :)
I know, *hangs head in shame*. In my defense, this was like the 8th take and other than messing up the quote, it was the best of the lot. You are well within your rights to confiscate my nerd card.
Getting things wrong is not uncommon for Sci Show. I once (politely) offered a correction to Hank via Twitter & he just made a crack & sent his mindless Twitter horde my way. Some understood, but most just scoffed without bothering to check it out themselves. The guy has an ego & a cult, whaddyagonnado.
I think you should have pm (private messaged) Hank and told him your opinion if you really wanted to be a gentleman about it. Correcting in public makes you look young and immature to me. Just my 2 cents worth.
It's a shame there aren't more views here. I thought this was very well presented, considering the subject matter.
Good job, mate.
Peace
Thank you for your thoughtful and measured response to our mistake! We appreciate it.

That is definitely one of the classics. I sometimes wonder who the first to come up with it was.
I love how respectful you are in your explanation. I was definitely going to call you out on the misquote, but I feel like you earned back your nerd points in the rest of the video. I hope so see more stuff from you in the future. :)
Thanks, decent delivery has been the hardest part of this whole experience.

Am I wrong?
Given an intense enough light, multiphoton interactions will allow low energy photons to excite an electron. It's just much less likely to occur.
It pretty much can't be higher than the Planck scale (although it could certainly be much lower), since GR tends to get grumpy when the stress-energy tensor gets all quantumy. But, that's really not that much of a restriction.

As a teacher, this is going on "The Wall of Good Videos That Explain Things Better Than I Do."
I noticed this, it is hard to see how they could make such a big mistake! TheGentlemanPhysicis should definitely be a consultant for them.
From hank's tumblr,
edwardspoonhands: "Oops! Check out this awesome explanation of how we effed up on an episode of SciShow."
If that were the only mistake he made, I would agree with you, but there were quite a few mistakes in that small sound bite.
I always thought it odd that Einstein's Nobel prize was for quantum, when before I took some physics classes all that I knew about him was relativity
Thanks! I thought that explanation of gravity and photons sounded wrong, but I was too lazy to pull out cosmology books.
you are correct, but I don't think the experimental result would dance with the concept of a wavelike nature of light either :)
So what do you think about João Magueijo and his reviewing the idea that the constant of light may not always have been what it has been?
I really enjoy your videos! Thanks for making them.

Sent by Hank, and I hope that they do consult you. Great explanations!
"Kind of like two unmixy things . . ."--you mean like oil and water, perhaps? LOL!
the thing i hate most about how people explain gravity, is that they use our gravity to explain it...
the bowling ball (or whatever mass)
stretches the rubber mat (space-time)
yet required gravity to demonstrate it...
something is wrong here....

Is that a stereo lav mic? You would be better off with just a regular one.
Analogy for two un-mixable things oil and water. They are determined to stay separate
You should make this the reply video of that scishow video
correction, relatively safe behind magnetic somethings, and an atmosphere of something containing some kinds of gases that we can breathe while hurling through space and time in a cosmic shooting gallery around a huge nuclear fusion plant that will one day destroy us if we make it that long.... but yea.... "safe". :-D
i shouldnt have gotten plastered, it would have been great insight to listen to the man, but thats why i subscribed to you...
peace!
A few tips for you. edit out the background noise, it is very distracting and try to edit in som very soft background music.
Though no expert, as a cell phone GPS is affected by Earth gravity, even walking down a flight of stairs INCREASES general relativity induced time dilation, it plays a part in all matter- look forward to hearing more of your fun, off cuff, casual, informal, way!
Thanks for the tips.
Yeah, and if nothing else, you can heat the object up to a ridiculous temperature and turn it into a plasma :)
Downside of joining the dark side. :( On the plus side my ability to shoot lighting has increased a hundred fold.
Thanks for the explanation :)
Dude, you are GREAT!
It's alright, bags under your eyes are cool... I say that with complete objectiveness. Great video.
Good stuff, I'm starting school soon. I think your channel should help with that.
I wouldn't go so far as to say that Einstein could be wrong, rather he described an incomplete picture. From what I gather, Einstein could be encompassed much like he did with Newton. But "wrong"? Sir, you blaspheme! lol ;)
And never mind people calling this rude. They don't understand that any good scientist knows they aren't beyond reproach and being corrected publicly or privately is fair game as long as everything is good natured, as is the case here.
Subbed! B2B sent me...
Really, I need to check out his tumblr :)
If that's the case, you made the right decision!
cheers from a maffs phobic
So true...
I have it on good authority that the nerd within won't die, it will simply regenerate.
try to develop a style of your own, try to illuminate yourself better!, try to preapare a script and every 15 to 20 seconds make some change, a camera change, cut to another scene, etc. Are you an engineer? And of you are going to talk about gravity in a relativistic way (by summoning einsten ) you should include the fact that time also is part of this bending space!! ... and .. keep on doing videos!!! cheers
Isnt that Hyper-inflation?
or am i confused?
peace
We might be missing something, I was talking to a Mathematician (not sure what type, but he wouldnt stop)
when i went on vacation, and he wouldnt stop talking about "Einstein must be wrong"
and kept assuring me, theres something missing...
i was too drunk to even consider thinking about physics...(vacation)
what are your thoughts on Einstein, and dark energy...
I think Hank is a chemist not a physicist. So he's not gonna explain it well.
Yeah it's understandable, no one can be an expert on everything. I've seen a few clips of physicists putting their foot in their mouths on topics like bio, chemistry, and philosophy. I guess turn around is fair play :)
I know, *hangs head in shame*. In my defense, this was like the 8th take and other than messing up the quote, it was the best of the lot. You are well within your rights to confiscate my nerd card.
Thanks :)
sent by hank, subbed ! nice content. u shud edit so u dont have to do everything i none take
thanks.
thanks:)
Bro...you should either get some sleep or stop getting punched in the eyeballs lol Jkjk...but seriously..
Its funny how he ask for sci show to consult and they put him in there derscription
I was very happy when Hank reblogged me.
@TheGentlemanPhysicis Sir, you look tired, not your average type of tiredness,
advanced tiredness....
Getting things wrong is not uncommon for Sci Show. I once (politely) offered a correction to Hank via Twitter & he just made a crack & sent his mindless Twitter horde my way. Some understood, but most just scoffed without bothering to check it out themselves. The guy has an ego & a cult, whaddyagonnado.
That's unfortunate, back when I did this video they acknowledged the error and made a retraction.
Echo
so you're a tennant guy huh...
I am wearing that Doctor Who shirt today. Just sayin'. Also, great video!
*couldn't*
Two Thumbs Up on the Doctor Who Quote!
I think you should have pm (private messaged) Hank and told him your opinion if you really wanted to be a gentleman about it. Correcting in public makes you look young and immature to me. Just my 2 cents worth.
Its the Math!
I'm not humming a Taylor Swift song.
I hate myself. :(
Math!
I've never seen it before.
But I suggest you see some interesting videos on SALEH THEORY-com about behaviors of photon.
man you should sleep more, you look like someone beat you up
You look like you badly need sleep.
I know :P
Thanks :)
